Stop violence on the train

Stop violence on the train

From Warta Kota

Attacks on the train to Bekasi, Cikarang and Purwakarta have
been going on every day now for nearly a month. Stone throwing
and even some passengers threatening others with sickles are
almost becoming a fact of life. The victims are usually innocent
people, including small children and the elderly, who know
nothing about this problem. This hooliganism always happens when
the train stops at the Cakung station or travels on the route to
Cakung and Kranji.

By writing this letter, I am appealing to those Cakung
residents who attack the train either from the platform or from
behind the banana trees in the area to stop these heinous acts.
What good is it to throw stones at innocent people?

Dear brothers, if any of you or your relatives were hurt
because of these criminal acts committed by these people, you
should take the matter to court, no matter how bad our judiciary
is. But please remember that there is also the law of God.

You can, of course, hide and inflict injuries on others, but
that does not solve any problems. Whatever your reasoning is for
these actions, I firmly believe that you still have a conscience
that outweighs vengeance. Therefore, do not use violence as it
never solves any problems. Violence only breeds violence.
