Time and again, people hear it as some kind of an air-tight defense or an infallible excuse. It is often made to appear that everything is alright, that there is really nothing to worry about. The allegation is often repeated invocation of public officials specifically challenged — but usually fail as a matter of course, to keep law and order in the country. When a bomb explodes here or there — no problem. It is but an “isolated case!” When a murder or rape happens now and then — there is nothing to be disturbed about. It is simply and “isolated case!” When these or those criminals commit brazen and/or perpetrate odious acts — be at ease and at peace. It is nothing more than this and that “isolated case!”

What is this? No big deal. All their respective lawless actions are but one “isolated case” after another! No cause for alarm. Just live and sleep in peace..... MORE

"How on earth can bombs be repeatedly exploded, murders continuously committed and crimes oftentimes perpetrated — with every one of them alleged as an merely “isolated case?” Since when, particularly women and children always and altogether safe in the streets, in their own houses even? When do people really feel secure and protected from hoodlums such as thieves, drunks and delinquent characters in buses, at the markets, by the sidewalks — especially in cities and other urban areas?"
