How can an average Tamil do these crimes when there is military personal at every few yards. It appears there are 1 soldier to every 10 civilians in Jaffna. This clearly points the finger in the right direction!!! This is not only in Jaffna. It is common in all the so called "liberated" towns like Batticaloa, Jaffna!!

I assumed that since the war, that at various times, incidents that have been described above would be more common place. I was wondering over which period have people observed this increase?
