New revolutionaries!

Sitting in a taxi heading to Tajrish Square from Shahrak gharab, I was asked by the driver to move in to the front row of the car since there are two other women passengers who want to get on the taxi. I affirmatively accepted and sat in front beside a guy who was looking in his early twenties with a beard that was not trimmed properly, with plain cloths. The shirt was hovered on his pants. The entire clothing was either light gray or a shade of gray color, a typical Basiji militia looks.

Our conversation started by the scene he observed first and got my attention as well. A woman who seemed to be in early twenties was beating a small beggar child and dragging him to the pedestrian side on Northeast corner of the intersection. The beating and defending continued and even other homeless children got involved and throw a couple of punchs to the guy who was beaten by the young girl. The entire scene was taking place in front of a police officer who was standing on the southwest corner of the street. The guy beside me started the conversation: “I think the small guy deserved to be beaten!” I got surprised that he said that and I felt once again I saw a person who is judging the situation and establishing the verdict before even the facts are appeared or considered. Therefore, I replied: “I don’t think beating is something that someone may like to receive or give.Not to mention that child would be deserving. Because first of all, if you look at the girl and that child height you would realize that the guy is 1/3 of the girl’s size!” I went on with the saying we have to find out what is the motivation of such an act. I know that the beggar might have done something unethical or dishonorable to the girl. However, I feel the motivation and reasons behind the act must be investigated and finding out what has put the small guy like him to go extreme and do something to insult the girl.
He agreed that we should abound any type of violence. Then he continued by explaining that our society has little tolerance for none traditional acts! He explained that he is part of plain cloths militia who are patrolling on the street to find people who are conducting illegal acts (I think by IRI definition, of course). He went on that couple of days ago he was acting as a deputy who would oversee the case of arrested individuals. A woman was brought in. He confronted a middle age woman who was claiming that she wishes to have sex with him or either get married!! She apparently explained that she has recently separated from her husband and she has a great appetite for sex at the moment! So, she wishes to have sex with the guy or wishes to get married as soon as possible! Apparently, according to Shar-e Islam she was not allowed to get married with 3 months and 10 days after her separation! Still being in this period she was legally banned from any remarriage!! Apparently, Mr. S. writes a letter to judiciary to allow her to get married before the stated time period, he took the responsibility of any sin that may have arises from such an act towards himself! He continued how he let go of couple of guys and girls whom were arrested by his colleagues.
Then he introduced himself as a person in Fleet of Saralah Number…. In the end he said please don't consider me Hesbollahi!...
After a casual farewell I started to think that how easily young people can be manipulated. If we just provide them with a good education where they can distinguish between what is being promised and what is really acted upon, then we can be hopeful that our investment for future is set on the right direction. I kept wondering how effective was my 2-cents! It helped him to change his mind from a simple thinking dude who sees only black and white, to a dude whom was honoring his work by letting go of people who were arrested for no particular reason than moral behavior!
