“If Criminals Resist, Police Won’t Hesitate…” BUT?

“If the criminals resist, police personnel would not hesitate to take them down,” he said.

That’s Central Java’s top cop, Chief Inspector General Condro Kirono, speaking, and good for him! 

Most Indonesians will surely applaud his orders to his officers.

No doubt if Condro were in the USA, there’d be uproar, not from normal Americans, of course, but from liberals and street thugs like those we saw amok in Charlottesville, North Carolina last week.

Not a few of us are baffled by all the carry-on about somebody who is said to have been carrying only a book  – but evidently felt the need to wear an ankle-holster for outings to the local library.

BREAKING: Ankle Holster Clearly Visible 

00000000000000000000000000000

There are certain elements here who take exception to the shooting of undesirables…Jakarta Echoes of Gibraltar – How Dare You Kill Terrorists? …but on nothing like the scale of the United States, where even the head of state can go into woe mode over such episodes.

However, in Indonesia, what will be interesting to observe, as time goes by, is exactly how fair police will be in their application of this policy.

If they only take out common hoodlums engaged in mugging, nobody will object.

But how about sectarian thug gangs like the IslamoNazi FPI?  They are intolerant brutes given to violence – even against the police themselves, as we saw right here in Jakarta in 2014.

 

 Twenty Officers Injured – So Jakarta Cops ‘Negotiate’ With islamist Thug Gang?

And when they do detain fanatic hooligans, they almost immediately turn them loose.

IslamoNazi Thugs Amok, Jakarta Cops Say ‘No Charges!’ 

So let’s hope law enforcement across our lovely archipelago will replicate General Condro’s ‘shoot to kill’ decree AND that they apply it equitably, viz. not only to common violent criminals but also to infinitely more offensive malignants.

What will the police do to those who commit blatant violence and vandalism in the name of a creed which they taint by their shameless anti-social activity?  Police under fire for allowing sweeping FPI raids

Minol Dilarang? Bright Morning Here But Dark Age Looms!

It’s a fine morning out there, and in here breakfast is being prepared.

Later I must get going and find a computer store, to install my latest Kapersky anti-virus. These modern computers don’t have a slot into which the disk fits, so I need the assistance of somebody who knows his (or preferably her!) way around technology.

However, before heading out, a word on some news spotted in Republika.com.

Although I’m sure there are some sensible people among the ranks of Indonesia’s PPP  – United Development Party  – (the current Minister of Religious Affairs, Lukman, is a member and he’s a vast improvement on his predecessor, the unspeakable Suryadharma Ali, who was and is also PPP) its followers rarely say things which meet with my approval.

Thus no surprise to read the outburst from Arwani Thomafi, who sits on the House of Representatives Commission V.

Arwani

–

Arwani has just declared that the introduction of nationwide prohibition is the responsibility of the public and law enforcement officials.

Infantilising the population, denying that they are mature enough to decide for themseleves what they wish to drink, is, alas, only to be expected from the political establishment here.

We have, even in Jakarta, civic leaders who reckon all good little boys and girls, including adults, should be tucked up in their cosy wee beds by midnight! 

——

‘You’re Only An Adult! It’s Past Your Bedtime!’ Jakarta Rules, OK? 

But Arwani did surprise me by denying that the Prohibition Bill, now reaching its final stage in committee, is sectarian.

The principle of the prohibition of minol by Parliament is not because of the religious aspect, but in of health, social and economic terms.

( minol  = minuman alkohol = alcoholic beverages)

• “The impact of these negative effects, in the field of criminality, that is what concerns us, not a matter of Islam and non-Islam... 

‘Larangan Minol Itu Bukan Islam dan tidak Islam’

Well, that’s like banning cars because some drivers are reckless!

So that’s not how others see this pending legislation.

Creeping Shariah is one alternative perception, dragooning grown-ups by a Big Brother state which perceives a glass of cold beer on a hot day as haram – and is not satisfied with the normal age-restrictions on beer-sales and the already draconian restrictions on where we can buy such appealing products.

‘Creeping Shariah,’ Warns Prof. Muhammed, As Jakarta Dims! 

And thanks to Arwani, we learn that it’s not so ‘creeping.’ He boasts that there are numerous regencies (local government areas) all over the archipelago that have introduced such intolerant diktats, including Papua Manokwari,  South Jogjakarta, Sleman, South Kalimantan Banjarbaru…and provinces...

The Sharia Hell of Aceh!

…and of course let’s not forget the focus of brutal bigotry in Indonesia, Aceh, where the joys of shariah law are displayed to perfection in our photograph of a cowardly masked fanatic beating a young girl before an audience of baying savages.
