Now THAT’S an insurrection!
Naturally they started a huge fire during dry season. What a bunch of thugs. 😊
Sounds like Portland
That’s a pure and simple example of democracy in action!
It would be helpful to know why the were protesting.
Five days of protests began in Jakarta on Monday, sparked by reports that all 580 lawmakers receive a monthly housing allowance of 50 million rupiah ($3,075) in addition to their salaries. The allowance, introduced last year, is almost 10 times the Jakarta minimum wage.
. . .
The protests grew wider and more violent following the death of 21-year-old ride-hailing driver Affan Kurniawan. A video on social media apparently showing his death during a rally in the capital Jakarta on Thursday shocked the nation and spurred an outcry against the security forces.
One Indonesian Ruphaih is equivelent to 0.00006 dollars. Better shown is 1,000 Ruphaih equals six cents.
So $3,075 is 50,604,622 Ruphaih
