Hurrah For Vina! Brave Girl Bags Bag-Snatcher!

It’s been a while since I wrote about bag-snatchers.

There was a particularly awful case some years ago, here in Indonesia..

Jambret! Beware Jakarta’s Bag-Snatchers!

….and more recently an appalling case of injustice in Spain.

Justice Prevailed, Hero Not Jailed! Insane Spain… 

But this Monday morn, it’s all good news, from a big city in Sumatra, called Palembang…

…where a good-for-nothing bum named Reynaldo snatched a young student girl’s bag and made off on his motor-bike.

Ha!

Vina, his victim, wasn’t such a push-over as Rancid Reynaldo evidently thought.

She gave chase, and bumped him off his bike, whereupon good old-fashioned street-justice unfolded, a crowd gathering round the rat-bag bag-snatcher.

Lucky for the villain, the police were quickly on the scene and placed him under arrest.

For the benefit of overseas readers, I must explain that criminals apprehended by angry citizenry here have been known not to survive the crowd’s attentions.

Criminals Unleashed – To Be Replaced With Dissenters?

A  horrible story to wake up to, on this sunny Jakarta morning, a street robbery down in Kediri, East Java, a brave young woman killed after two biker thugs grabbed her mobile phone.

Indah, 19 years old,was also on a motor-bike.

She pursued the scumbags, but as she caught up, there was apparently a multiple collision – the victim of the robbery suffered a fatal head  injury.

Street crime here can be met with street justice, but although a crowd got hold of one of the accused…

Another escaped into a nearby field and is being hunted.

Tragic, but only one of many similar crimes.

I’ve been informed of others much closer to home, related by reliable friends of mine, here in Jakarta, crimes committed in broad daylight, machetes brandished by predatory scumbags to rob honest citizens.

One has to ponder the possibility that the increase in street crime – admitted by the police – is not unrelated to the release of both convicts and undesirable aliens due to the virus crisis

And this policy is not unique to Indonesia.

…with all kinds of courts complicit in the ‘de-lockdown’ of evil-doers. 

The question arises – if dissenters who defy lock-downs decline to pay their fines, will they find themselves in the prisons vacated by genuinely bad people?
