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…
..
…
…the cops took him into custody.
Another escaped into a nearby field and is being hunted.
You can use Google Translate to read the full story, if you are of a mind to.

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.
While police in Britain and Australia and America and elsewhere are charging citizens who fall foul of ‘distance’ rules…

…some ‘NGO’ big-mouths are demanding that convicts and even illegal aliens should be unleashed!

…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?

Most of us know or know about people getting trouble with criminals in Jakarta.
I wish the criminals are still in prison. People are scared.

Morning, Ross.
If they keep the jail-birds in jail, they are at risk.
If they let them out, we are at risk.
Not a difficult choice, IMHO.

I agree with all previous comments on this, my Indonesian friends tell me that we are lucky to be shut indoors after dark.
Robberies all over the place.
Those locked up should stay locked up.
