Scared citizen

From Warta Kota

This paper reported on Feb. 8 the incident in which a minibus passenger pulled out a pistol while quarreling with the driver of another car near the Cikini railway station, Central Jakarta. I remember a similar recent incident in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta.

A jeep driver was quarreling with a sedan driver following their overtaking of each other on the road. All of a sudden, the jeep driver, a young man, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the other driver. None of the other drivers nearby dared to approach them.

As a civilian without any firearms, I am scared and concerned because today people get emotional too quickly and suddenly pull out a weapon, be it a firearm, a machete, etc.

I think it is time the police conduct firearm raids in this capital, particularly aimed at drivers or passengers of cars or motorcycles.
