JAKARTA The demonstration against Coldplay's concert at the intersection of Jalan Asia Afrika, which was carried out by the National Anti LGBT Movement (LGBT Movement), was marked by a commotion between taxi drivers and several protesters, Wednesday afternoon, November 15.

Seen at the scene, right in front of the Mulia Hotel, the commotion started when a taxi driver complained about the long traffic jam, and could not even move either a car or a motorbike.

Although there were many vehicles that stopped, the taxi driver felt really couldn't stand it. The taxi driver grumbled behind the wheel.

Annoyed, the taxi driver played the car gas so loud that it emitted a loud sound from the tires.

Then, in the position where the car window opened, the driver said a sentence that turned out to be heard by a woman participating in the demonstration. The driver's words made the demonstrators feel offended.

"What's wrong with this (demonstration), it just makes traffic jams. Then the mother heard, and got angry", said the driver, telling VOI at the demonstration site, Wednesday, November 15.

A fight between the participants of the demonstration and the taxi driver finally happened. The commotion became even more crowded when several men who were also participants in the demonstration defended the woman.

The commotion had caught the attention of the people around him. But fortunately the commotion did not take long because it was suppressed by several people from other parties.

"Yes, I'm upset. This is really bad traffic jams. I didn't move. I've been here for a long time. I was annoyed, I played with the car gas while saying 'what are they doing like this. Make a lot of people lose'. Eh, the mother just heard and she was angry. His friend who joined the demonstration was even more fiercely angry", said the driver to VOI.
