When the water pipe becomes a weapon

Tường Minh |

In recent days, a clip of a young man using a water pipe to beat others at a beer shop on Le Duan street (Hanoi) has shocked many people.

In less than half a minute, in a crowded place, one person was knocked down, the helmet on his head was broken, and the witnesses could only stand and watch because they were afraid of being affected.

The police agency has arrested the related subjects and the case will be handled according to legal regulations. However, the aftertaste of this matter, along with the question of why more and more people are willing to use violence to resolve conflicts, is still simmering in the heads of many people.

Today, just by browsing through news bulletins, people can easily encounter fights originating from very small causes.

An unsightly look, a harsh word, a traffic collision, a common emotional conflict... Things that could be resolved with a few words are quickly pushed up into chases, assaults and revenges.

And then, familiar items in everyday life, such as a water pipe, can also become dangerous tools for others when falling into the hands of people who are influenced by emotions.

In the past, there have also been many heartbreaking cases where the weapons used were a plastic chair, a beer bottle, a glass cup, a roadside wooden stick, or even a brick.

It seems that in a not small part of young people, anger is being released faster than the ability to restrain it. Instead of trying to dialogue, they choose to prove themselves with muscle strength. Instead of letting the law solve it, they want to judge right and wrong with their fists.

They forget that in modern and civilized societies, the fist never creates justice. The fist only creates more injured people, worried families and criminal case files.

Therefore, the functional agency's quick pursuit of the perpetrators is not only to handle violators but also to affirm a very important principle in a society that upholds the rule of law: No one has the right to use violence to resolve personal conflicts.

Modern life is increasingly putting people under more pressure than before. Work, relationships, social networks and countless other stresses make many people easily fall into a state of hot temper and impulsiveness.

Everyone has emotions, but the difference lies in the ability to control those emotions. Because just one minute of not keeping calm can cause consequences that will be paid for many years later. It is the ability to control emotions that creates the boundary between civilized behavior and hooligan behavior.
