Ramadhan said George hit him with a book when he was about to leave the discussion, held at the Doekoen Café in South Jakarta on Wednesday. “I will report George
to the police,” he said as quoted by kompas.com.
Your comments:
Now that people are free to express their opinions, they’re taking advantage of it and ignoring the existing norms.
The writer of the book, I think, is just looking for popularity and sensation.

Well if you tell a guy to his face that the book he wrote is a bunch of bull, it’s sort of the commonly anticipated reply.

What George wrote seems to be true. How much were the protesters paid?

Too bad he didn’t hit him with a phone directory.
