  • "law" vs. "law" in Indonesia

    Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

      I've heard about total anarchy but that is almost worse... it's just plain insane. Next time maybe they should pay both sides "by the corpse" to avoid those unnecessary "wounded" people

        ...ha! To help you understand it, there's more to it. Basically Indnesia is tribal which is the first line of authority, next is "family" which is not necessarily kin.

        Next, the police are local and the army is not. Drug dealing is usually "family". The police (and/or those they "protect") and the local army unit where probably competitors for the same "business". So when Merwan got arrested it was suddenly tribal and family, nothing to do with law. East Timor was not dissimilar.

        The other thing is that Jakarta transplants people and tribes, mostly with no sense or sensitivity. The army is their instrument. Most people hate Jakarta and the army.

        Indonesia is one of the most beautiful, wonderful, dangerous and corrupt places I know.
        How can you possibly take anything seriously?
        Who cares?
