Hoodlums rely on muscle

Hoodlums rely on muscle

From Suara Karya

I'm concerned by the increasing violence being committed by hoodlums in the country.

While years before it was easy to guess if an organization was practicing hoodlumism, today there is a tendency to legalize hoodlumism in the interest of political parties, the products of democracy through general elections.

Now hoodlumism is connected with business practices, just like the mafia in Italy.

Hoodlumism is also on the increase because of the combination of money and power. It is difficult to eliminate hoodlumism because law enforcement has failed to impose tough penalties.

Indonesia is a state based on the law, so those practicing hoodlumism must be severely punished. Condoning hoodlumism will only produce a barbaric society that relies more on muscle than the mind.
