Actor dies and people start burning stuff - Bangalore

#

I read this morning about the death of Rajkumar, but I did not know about the violence in Bangalore following his death. Someone at work asked me what was going on and I did not know what he was talking about.

But these acts of violence after death of a celebrity is utter nonsense. I don’t think I can relate to the passion that the locals have for the actors, but I don’t think burning up buses and stuff should be in any way considered ‘ok’.

Looks like the city was shut down pretty much. Terrible.
