Mumbai Molestation: Are we living in a Civilized World?

I seriously don't know where the civilized world's headed? Are we draining ourselves in the sea of those filthy uncivilized Barbarians, who ultimately ended up destroying themselves? At this point I am short of words... completely down with life... loosing hope... ashamed to call myself part of this system... INDIA GATE.. New Year's Eve... Crowd of around 1700+ people (Bloody Eunuchs I should say)... Perverts of about 60 in number.... 1 Victim... What the HELL were those 1700+ people doing??? Enjoying the show...??? Even worst... there were about 70 Police guys Patrolling that night.. N best part is the excuse they give "No actions have been taken, as there was no formal FIR registered" Bloody My foot I say... My Foot... I don know whom should I blame.... the system... the perverts... the police.. or the crowd???
Am just down with life... disappointed to the core... I really don' know how to react as Am angry and burning like fire inside, Am sad to see n hear what has happened, Am insecure to think that this can happen to anyone of us... ANYONE!!!... DOES EVERYONE HEAR ME?? OR AGAIN HAVE YOU TURNED DEAF LIKE YOU TURNED BLIND, WHEN THAT GIRL WAS MOLESTED??... SIGH!!... Today is the day I say "Am ashamed to be an Indian".

God, Save the world, if cant then you too go to hell.... 'coz IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS TO BE ME... I shall have the last laugh... :(

However my question to you all readers is...
If you are in the crowd and see this happening....what would you do ?
Would you stick your neck out and try to protect the woman ? This at the risk of losing limb and life at the hands of an irate mob ?
Or would you try to record the incident on your cell and hope that it can be used to nab the culprits ?
And finally, if the culprits are nabbed, what is the proper punishment for them.
I personally think that the few in the crowd who resort to such antics should be beaten up by the majority of the bystanders. Public beating and breaking a few bones will do them good for a lifetime.
And if the public does not do its duty, then medically castrate them. That would solve a problem for a lifetime.
OK, the last suggestion is off the top, but that's just because I am so f#$%ing angry at the series of incidents happening in my own country.

From the IBN News Live!

Mumbai: The Mumbai Police have detained five persons for questioning and identification in the New Year molestation case at the Gateway of India.
All five belong to the Ghatkopar area in the eastern suburbs of the city. However, what is surprising is that no case has been lodged so far.
The Mumbai Police had said on Wednesday that they would take suo motu action against New Year party revellers who molested a young woman at the Gateway of India on December 31.

Police till late Wednesday evening had claimed that they could order a probe only if somebody filed a complaint.
“I appeal to the general public to come forward if they have any information about the incident or the miscreants as no formal complaint has been registered with us," Mumbai Police Commissioner A N Roy had said.
The girl was molested by nearly 70 drunk revellers in full public view. Her clothes were torn apart even as her male friend was manhandled.
A Mid-Day photographer, Shadab Khan recalls - who saw the whole incident from a police watchtower and captured it on his camera recalls that the couple was surrounded by around 70 men, who tore apart the woman's clothes, while her friend tried to protect her - in vain.
The horror continued for almost 10 minutes before the terrorised couple managed to extricate themselves from the crowd and make a run for it.
