As some of you know, I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. We here, like just about everywhere else have a very very big problem with Meth. Here its called Sabu Sabu...
On Sunday morning a horrible tragedy occured.
Sunday morning at the National Monument park in Jakarta is always very busy. People out with their kids and friends walking, playing ball, bike riding and enjoying breakfast in the sun from the local street vendors which crowd the perimeter.
Unfortunately, a 29 year old woman who had been up for 3 days on Sabu was driving her SUV with 3 friends in the back. She was suffering psychosis and having hallucinations. She drove her SUV through the road dividers, up over the footpath and into the entrance of the park at 70miles per hour.
Nine people were killed, some of them children.
1. Moch Hudzaifah al-Ujay, 16 years old
2. Firmansyah (21 yrs)
3. Suyatmi (51 yrs)
4. Yusuf Sigit (16yrs),
5. Ari (2,5yrs),
6. Nanik Riyanti (25 yrs),
7. Fifit Alfia Fitriasih (18 yrs),
8. Wawan (17 yrs),
9. Akbar (22 yrs),
And some were badly injure and are still in IC.
1. Siti Mukaromah (30 yrs)
2. Keny (8 yrs)
3. Indra (11 yrs)
Here media images are not so filtered and what was broadcast was horrific. It went viral a few hours after it happened. The public are outraged and images of the woman have been uploaded everywhere, a lot of them have death threats tagged to them. She is now being virtually lynched and I can't imagine what her life will be like.
I think of the families that lost loved ones; children, wives, husbands and the grief they must be suffering right now and for the foreseeable future and its overwhelming, I also think of the 29 year old woman who 4 days ago had a normal life which is now gone forever and will be replaced with public hatred, jail and violent retribution. Not to mention her own private hell of guilt.
This wasn't a tsunami, an earthquake, a plague or a flood..... it didn't need to happen....
