Service. Security or racism.
Well even Latvian Internet takes a case where a small handful of the Business Highschool Turiba (BHT) in the hostel living overseas 'students' from dienvidzemēm sexually harassed Latvian meiteinei. The girl called the police, while the "students" are now collecting signatures to evict the girl from the hostel. And all of this would be worthless if such cases had not happened all over Europe for the past five years, and unless all these cases had been tried to be silenced by the authorities. Therefore, this article is about a similar case in 1993.
At that time, I was an employee of the MoI, and I served in the notorious Mobile Police Regiment (MPR). One nice night, as usual on duty on a mobile patrol, we received a call to a dorm hosted by an "interracial incident". When we arrived at the scene, we actually discovered that about ten people were physically explaining the relationship. When we saw one part, the four guys on our land once stood, while the six dark-skinned people shouted at us, waving their hands, explaining something in a combination of English, Russian and more. To be clear, we had to lay down everyone, without exception, and explain at least four times that we would now be asking questions and that no one was allowed to open their mouths alone. Admittedly, our guys realized it once, while the "southerners" had to repeat it every two minutes. Realizing that there would be no order, we isolated the '' South '' from each other and the long-awaited peace ensued.
We started explaining the situation. It turns out that three Pakistani people had come up with a "fun" evening and decided to invite Latvian girls. When denied, they are at all angry because they see how a woman can refuse? And as a result, they broke into the girls' room, where they were forcibly forced to follow them. But, unfortunately, at that moment, our boys, who heard the girls' cries and returned to the girls, did not come from anywhere. The Pakistanis, seeing it more angry and calling their own, began to physically explain the relationship. Neither did ours get into debt, and the "party" could begin. For the sake of clarity, it must be admitted that the commandant of these dormitories, having tried to calm the fever, had in the end received a blow from one Indus. He then went to his post and called the police. We arrived in about six minutes.
There were three Latvians and one Russian on the one hand (ours), and three Pakistanis and five Indians on the other side (South). Two girls, one Latvian and the other Russian-speaking, have suffered. I particularly emphasize this ethnic division so that I will not be blamed for racism. Explaining what had happened, ours were immediately ready to respond to what had happened, adding that they were defending the vulnerable. And from the law - they were absolutely right - the defense needed, the attempt to prevent a possible crime, and so on. The "southern", on the other hand, did not want to realize that they had broken something because they see it as a matter of course in their homeland, and how can it not be here ... At one moment it came to the fact that to us - the police, began to threaten. To some extent this put an end to all this, with explanations being taken from the Indians and 'ours', but the Pakistanis only being taken to the police station. There they were prosecuted under the relevant article. Oh yes - the girls handwritten submissions without any pressure, and the next day they came to the National Examination Center where they were diagnosed with appropriate bodily harm.
After about two weeks we were on duty again in the area. We went to the police station and inquired about the event. It turned out that all eight "southern" people had left Latvia within three days. During the criminal proceedings, Pakistanis had a '' no change of residence '', which did not, however, prevent them from disappearing from Latvia. As far as Induss are concerned, it turned out that their firm, which was established in Latvia and was trading in rice, but without its own "bosses", remained in the warehouse rented by the firm, leaving several tons of rice unavailable to customers. By the end of that three-day period, however, Indians had been able to receive advance payment for rice, which was about four times the amount available at the warehouse. Where these Indians and Pakistanis are now - history is silent.
It was 1993. Now is 2019. At that time everything was fast and tight. Today, liberalism and tolerance are in vogue. I'm not saying that all of these "southern" people are bad. In this regard, I have had discussions, quarreled with someone close to me who thought I was thickening colors. However, there is another issue with all this: when we go to their countries, we give lectures, give brochures about the culture and traditions of these countries, how to behave, what is allowed, what is not. But what happens otherwise? Nothing. Because liberalism and tolerance are superior to anything, to one's culture, to one's self-esteem. Why are such precedents possible today? Because there is a liberal attitude. If the attitude was like 1993 - now this "southern" BHT would not exist. And others would not go here because knew that if anything, they would have to answer. Recently, I read somewhere how many visas were denied to Indians who had expressed a desire to "learn" in Latvia. And it shocked the way and who wants to get this visa - people who are even unfamiliar with first-year school. And now they are common collect signatures to a girl who was trying to defend himself calling the police to evict from the hostel.
It would be interesting to hear the explanations of the MoI, the MoW, the MoE, but I doubt if these officials are capable of pushing anything over the lip, because the main thing is LIBERALISM and TOLERANCE ... And there are no such "ours" guys anymore.
