Portland Indonesia? Thugs Stone Cops! Black-Clad Louts!
After months of watching Red Nazi Antifa and BLM hoodlum gangs amok in Portland, Oregon…
.
.
….I wasn’t sure yesterday if I was tuned into local Indonesian tv or one of the Western channels we get here.
I quote from a local newspaper, which tells us that by nightfall –
…the police had detained around 1,000 people for instigating the riots and damaging public properties.
.
.
At least 11 Transjakarta bus stations were ransacked by the protestors, with the one near Hotel Indonesia roundabout burned down to the ground.
There was a big demo organised by the labour unions against a new law going through parliament which has caused widespread concern all over Indonesia…
.
.
…but the wanton violence and vandalism, stones and bottles hurled by dastardly young thugs?
As noted the mayhem was not confined to Jakarta.
Another report, from West Java, asks a very relevant question.
Dozens of Teens in Black Become Infiltrators During Labor Action, Who Are They?”,

Savage attacks, arson, aimed not just a police but at anyone who is not on the right side – or the left side, perhaps – like the ordinary citizens who might have wanted to use those bus stops…

We both love Indonesia, Ross, you more than me, I think.
But there is no reason to think or expect that the same bad ideas we can see back home are not being spread here.
Look at that left woman who writes the feminist stuff, or the JP America haters.
Antifa is bound to be around.
On the other hand, are they the only bad guys in the story.
i am sending you a link.
