HN makes me sad sometimes. It was less than 24 hours ago that we criticized India for talking about applying the new law concerning crimes committed by minors on a high profile case.

Now, not even a day later we are talking about doing something just as insane. :(

This is the first time I hear of this discussion. That said, are we talking of applying a new law to a situation that has yet to pass sentencing? Then sure, a new law can be applied. If they have already passed sentencing then too little too late.

No, it is too late and thankfully the justice system has not entirely failed. However, I am still appalled by the court's statement:

> On Monday, India's Supreme Court dismissed an appeal to stop his release, saying it "shared" the concern of most citizens but its hands were "tied" by the law.

I hate that politicians all around the world are more than happy to keep the people occupied in these things that don't affect a lot of people.
