 Check out this story share by a friend of mine and tell me what you think...

Kenyan Pharisees.....
Walking in town today around odeon area i saw a group of people gathering and moving menacingly towards a person i couldnt quite see.
I thought it was a thief caught in the act. ordinarilly, I would walk away quickly as the last time i witnessed mob justice left me dizzy and getting sick on the streets. But something kept pulling me towards the scene...
Imagine my shock when I saw the object of the mob's focus was not a thief but two girls- sisters, no more than 20.
One was in a booty short, and the other in a mini dress- the reason for the mob's anger...
The girls were scared n hung on to each other as they tried to outwalk the crowd that was quickly closing in om them from all sides. They were shaking..
They were crying
They were very very scared....
The older one took the hand of the other, her eyes locked with mine as she tried to guide her sibling...
Am a first born, I know what it is like to have someone look up to you for direction when you have no clue where to go- I saw the plea in her eyes, she didnt care about herself, she just wanted to protect her sister...
in their eyes, i saw fear, confusion, panic, shame.
somehow, i knew they would never be the same from today.
you just dont recover from such a thing...
you just dont.....
I tore my eyes away before i could do something stupid....
"Watolewe hizo nguo kama uchi ndio wanataka!!" one of the men screamed- then i took a look at him, and the others, most of them were not just angry that the girls had indecently exposed themselves with the scant dressing.... it was a more carnal motive...
Yes, the lust written on their faces, some almost drooling.....
How wicked, a generation that would strip two girls naked as a punishment for dressing yet go picking prostitutes when darkness falls?
I am a strong believer of decency, so by no means am I condoning the act of indecent dressing but
If any of those men shouting,or women laughing stopped to think-
what such an act does to a person...
It kills their self esteem, self worth, dignity... it traumatizes, leaving scars that will never heal.
In all honesty, it is almost like raping... it kills a part of the person forever......No woman or man should have to go through that....
So next time a mob gathers to undress a 'woman who wants to walk naked', i pray the voice of reason will prevail above the lustful, hypocritical, malicious attitude, enough for the mob to hear the angry voice of He who sees the heart of every man "let he who has no sin cast the first stone"...
