Dealing with hoodlums

Dealing with hoodlums

From Neraca

I give my full support to the actions of security agents taken against the city's hoodlums. Hoodlums -- popularly known as preman -- have been a serious disturbance to the community. But, the fight against hoodlums should not merely be done in the interest of upholding the law but more to correct the social aspect of the problem.

The preman should be educated and transformed into skilled human beings so that they can one day stand on their own feet.

I am of the conviction that however bad a person is, if he is led down the right path he will show repentance. Anyway, in the beginning they were of a good human nature.
