The reality is, has anybody the guts to no say, and in any case why would they? Most legislators are only interested in feathering their own nest; they don’t care about the people or the good of the country. If any Legislator was crazy enough to oppose the police's choice for a new leader, they could end up in prison on trumped-up charges, beaten to a pulp in the street, their home fire-bombed, having a fatal accident, or suddenly be found to have committed suicide. Everybody knows that the police use intimidation and violence to get their way.
From all accounts Timur Pradopo associates with thugs and criminals, which means by default he himself is a thug and a criminal, and I understand is well practiced in the use of violence to get his way. Altogether, this man sounds to be a very nasty piece of work all round.
Too many secrets need to be kept; too many crimes need to remain unsolved; too much dirty business needs to be kept in the dark: this is the man that all those involved in the murky, dirty, criminal and violent world that exists in the corridors of Indonesian power, have elected. The new Don has already been chosen, and he knows exactly what his job is; who he has to protect; whose interests he needs to promote; who he needs to put down, and he has the essential connections in the underworld to perform his tasks with deadly efficiency.
The President of Indonesia has completely ignored and abandoned the people by supporting this man, he cares not one bit of the damage this will do to the country and to its citizens; he cares only of himself. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is a traitor. Blood on the streets of Indonesia is inevitability now, and the people can blame our weak, pathetic, cowardly leader, and his ar** licking cronies, for this when it happens.
