Life sentence for flag waver

Of course, a life sentence for waving a flag is extremely unfair. Kill the chicken to frighten the monkey. This policy is just suitable for the corrupt criminals.

I think it's fair enough, there's no tolerance for the separatism whatever it does, but still we have to find and bring to court the one behind the scenes.

If Johan Teterisa gets a life sentence for waving the flag, how many life sentences should be given to corrupt government officials? Johan Teterisa should have had a "magical" medical record that he could use to ignore the summons from the court, like officials do.

Life sentence for a flag waver? A real travesty of justice. The central government needs to act firmly to such cases of lunacy in the regions.

The punishment is not fair because the men who exploded bombs in Bali until know we don't know about what the judge wants to do to them.

I think it is better to give more serious attention to terrorists and extremists because these kind of people can destroy our country.

I think the punishment is not fair for him. He just expressed his disappointment to the government.

I don't understand our government policies. They release criminals who steal millions of dollars from the people, but a peaceful protester gets sent away for life. I guess protesters need more money to buy their way out of situations like this, huh?

The punishment is not fair because he only waved the flag. How about the bombers and the other fellows whom got lenient punishments even though they killed innocent people. Or it is because they are Muslims, while the flag waver is a Christian?

He mocked our country. Anyone who does such an action has to be punished. I think prison is a very fair punishment for him. Moreover, he did it in front of our President.

Not fair at all while Bali bombers got symbolic death sentences. By the way, is the flag waver a Christian? That explains it!
