“All this is the government's fault, 'OK, let's discuss the problem now'. First: what made him like that? Stealing, committing crimes, and other crimes 'second: is he short of money? or he doesn't have a job and causes him to be like that, now this is the point 'if only the government provides very wide job opportunities, I believe the crime rate will decrease 'Moreover, we are facing a pandemic like this' maybe some assistance from the government is correct' but the government does not pay attention to the unemployment rate in Indonesia 'So here I think incidents like this are normal 'Let's see on the African continent' There is a crime already considered normal' and the government doesn't even intervene to deal with these crimes' okay now if the government only opens up wide job opportunities, then there is little chance that something like this will happen”, the account wrote.
