#2 Sixty years after the British left, these people burn public property as if their tax dollars did not pay for them, as if they didn't have to use these very same buses.

The bus, a product of modern technology, is a alien thing. Something not made in Pakistan, something owned by the government, itself an imposed thing, an alien, colonial construct.

There is no resort to law and the courts. Only mob justice.
