Inhumane teenagers

Inhumane teenagers

From Media Indonesia

I read in Media Indonesia of Sept. 14, 2000 that Aditya
Wicaksono, a fifth grade elementary school pupil, was killed when
he was pushed out of a moving train after being robbed by some
teenagers. Unsatisfied with the cash of Rp 4,000 they had robbed
Aditya of, the teenagers allegedly tortured and then pushed him
out of the moving KRL Jabotabek train in Pasar Minggu, South
Jakarta.

As I personally and firmly do not regard this as a case of
juvenile delinquency, I suggest that the police take stern
measures immediately to apprehend those involved in this crime
and bring them to court. These youngsters were indeed very savage
and inhumane. There is no other way to stop things like this but
to punish those involved severely. I think the judge should
consider capital punishment for the guilty parties in this case.
