Gurkha singlehandedly defends woman from gang rape

The band of about 40 robbers, some of whom were travelling as passengers, stopped the train in the Chittaranjan jungles in West Bengal around midnight. Shrestha– who had boarded the train at Ranchi in Jharkhand, the place of his posting–was in seat no. 47 in coach AC3.

“They started snatching jewelry, cell phones, cash, laptops and other belongings from the passengers,” Shrestha recalled. The soldier had somehow remained a silent spectator amidst the melee, but not for long. He had had enough when the robbers stripped an 18-year-old girl sitting next to him and tried to rape her right in front of her parents. He then took out his khukuri and took on the robbers.

“The girl cried for help, saying ´You are a soldier, please save a sister´,” Shrestha recalled. “I prevented her from being raped, thinking of her as my own sister,” he added. He took one of the robbers under control and then started to attack the others. He said the rest of the robbers fled after he killed three of them with his khukuri and injured eight others…“Fighting the enemy in battle is my duty as a soldier; taking on the dacoits in the train was my duty as a human being,” said the Indian army nayak.

I don't think Denis Leary intended this NSFW rant to be inspirational, but it is, somehow:

Seeing as that vid is now blocked, I'll post another version. Charlie Chaplin's speech from the end of The Great Dictator.

Huh, you go to uni and you'll get that?

I'd say there are as many people in the US who didn't go for higher education, than those who did and have that level of wealth.

Sports stars/ movie stars / musicians / entrepreneurs / company founders etc.etc.etc.
