| Maybe this boy did it on purpose, hoping that the people in the house would call the police and save him from the life he was leading. |

This goes on to show that at the end of the day, we all are humans after all.
Good guy, bad guy we all have the same basic needs. Yes, he must have been a 'good terrorist' any terrorist with high self-esteem (i.e.: a proper terrorist) would have blown the brains out of innocent villagers before stealing their food.
Dear good terrorist, take a bow.

If the story is true it's really fantastic but there are a few things that seem a bit 'out of place'.
Firstly, this tiger could not have been a loner, he would have been in a group. So if this guy was so hungry weren't the others equally hungry to similarly go begging for food?
Secondly, tigers are trained to kill for anything and everything, so if this tiger was armed with a t-56 whay did not he use it to at least threaten the woman (if not kill her) to get what ever food?
Thirdly, this guy is supposed to have had TWO cyanide capsules? Aren't these fellows trained to bite a capsule and avoid capture alive? How did he have TWO capsules, are tiger cadres given two each now?
Fourthly, any average Sri Lankan village woman would screem blue murder upon seeing any unknown man in her backyard quite apart an armed tiger cadre. In this instance this village woman, seemingly extremely exceptional to say the least, had the courage to call him in to the house along with his gun, serve him a plate of rice, give it to him and then calls the police.
Fifthly, when the police arrive( that too would have taken at least 30 mnts knowing how prompt our police is) the tiger cadre without firing his gun or biting at least one of the TWO cyanide capsules gives himself up just like that. So hungry and destitute is it?
Sixthly, between the time of calling the police and the actual arrival of the police, this village woman seems to have had the courage to be in the house all alone with an armed tiger.
How real to be true.

Two cyanide capsules?
Presume they are being issued with low-quality stuff at the moment so they have to carry two around at all times, instead of one, just to make sure. |
