“I want to state that we may not be able to keep people under control in the absence of a stronger security program,” he said. “We can’t forever give them false promises and keep them calm.” He urged the government “to implement a proper program in order that the people don’t take the law into their own hands.”

So, I’d hope this situation can calm down. What a terrible event that occurred.
 
It seems to me that public sentiment in Sri Lanka and the Sri Lankan government is that any non-Buddhist is a second class citizen and aren’t as deserving of state protection as everyone else. Just from what I’ve read recently. This can certainly lead to vigilante gangs, like NI.
