JAKARTA - It is estimated that the mob who carried out the throwing that damaged the Jambi City DPRD office were still students. Moreover, they were seen wearing school uniform pants.

"Some of them wear gray trousers, they are still high school age children," said an employee at the Jambi City DPRD Office, reported by Antara, Wednesday, October 7.

This was confirmed by several other eyewitnesses who were at the scene of the throwing action which resulted in the broken and shattered doors and a number of windows in the Jambi City DPRD office.

"Yes, they are high school age, maybe they are students who are on holiday," said one of the food traders in front of the council's office.

Residents admitted they were shocked, the atmosphere on Jalan Zainir Havis, Jambi City, which was usually quiet, that afternoon suddenly became crowded and the sound of motorbike exhausts.

Several residents who were taking care of insurance at BPJS Kesehatan Jambi in front of the Jambi City DPRD Office also admitted that they had panicked and chose to enter the gates of BPJS Kesehatan.

"I was very scared, I surrendered my car to the side of the road, but Alhamdulillah they did not destroy the cars. They just came in and threw stones at the DPRD office," said Nur, one of the women who took care of administration to BPJS Kesehatan that afternoon.

Apart from throwing them, the masses who were dominated by adolescents also only threw them at the Jambi City DPRD office. Although they had stopped the vehicle, they did not do anything anarchist outside the building for the people's representatives.

"They did not disturb the residents at the location, including the traders, nor were they disturbed. They only panicked," said Nur.
