Comments: Violent clash over land erupts in West Jakarta

O

ct. 14, Online

A violent clash between two angry mobs erupted on Jl. Arjuna Raya, Kebon Jeruk, in West Jakarta, leaving one public minibus and three motorcycles destroyed and burned.

According to an eye witness, Sugandi, 40, a group of people arrived at a housing complex on Jl. Arjuna Raya. “They rode in two minibuses, four motorcycles and a car,” Sugandi said on Friday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.


Your comments:

Surely this is an unwanted situation, but there’s a point behind this that we must understand. It’s an ideal for everybody to go to the law to settle a conflict.

This can happen anywhere. What about the riots in London two months ago?

The point is that the Indonesian police have to do something to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

Where are the police? Those annoying criminals should be detained.
