MAKASSAR - Demonstration video in Parepare, South Sulawesi (Sulsel) shared on social media. This video records the crowd trying to block the road and then blocking a car.

A crowd that had burned tires in the middle of the road tried to block the maroon APV car, Friday, October 9. Some people blocked the front of the car, some were trying to get close to the right side of the car.

Suddenly the driver of the car that was being blocked took out a klewang, a sharp weapon, a combination of a sword and a machete. All the demonstrators were silent, moving backwards.

No one else tried to block the speed of the cars on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, the Parepare-Sidrap axis. This driver screamed because he was annoyed that his vehicle was intercepted.

"Love passing, don't block ... Don't block it," said the driver as he hit his sword against the car door.

Everyone fell silent. This car still drove past dozens of people demonstrating on the highway.
