Thugs, thugs, everywhere

As I'm writing this, the online version of today's The Jakarta Post has not been updated. But go read the editorial of today's print. It is aptly titled "Thuggery as Law". What The Post means by thuggery is exactly what I refer to as the act of the "terminators".

Of worth-thinking, The Post says:

In a confused libertarian society such as ours, lawlessness is glorified and agents of chaos knighted as persons of authority.

Indeed.

As I said earlier, I don't understand why the police are so ridiculed by these thugs. Now, almost every political party or organization has its own army of thugs. They are happy to terminate whatever they don't like.

And the government keeps silent. Where does our money go?
