Tawuran and Mob Lynch

Why the kid and young people got "tawuran" or school kid brawl?
In Indonesia, specially Jakarta you can find story about young school kid fight with another school. We called it "tawuran" here. They fight for some unimportant reason like struggle for keep the girlfriend of one school stay on that school, and not be a grilfriend to another kid in another school. Insult from 1 kid that got the whole kid from that school take action, and it can also be caused by the long live grudge like SMA 6 and SMA 70 Jakarta. You can Google it if you intersted more of it.

What make me so interested in it is that, they are fight for their pride as a member of "almamater" of one school.

Pride. It also a big thing caused people to fight till their dead. It is their identity. When the identity is insulted they revolt.

Identity make people diferentiate themself and other people. Identity give people entitlement to grow and glued together in one name. But also make them vulnerable to insult in that name.

This entitlement also give them a place to be, a fight to fought, a reason to act.

When they go out they know who they are. They know what to yearn for, who are their comrade.

The Jack Mania and patriotism
And that make me remember my post about angry generation. A generation raised by no war, no famine, no pain in front of television.
A generation that fight for  a reason to enjoy pain as they yearning for the glory of their identity. A generation of young that making happiness and sadness for television to decide for them.

In this generation came the jack mania and bobotoh, two footbal fansclub of two big city: Jakarta and Bandung. This two fansclub have their own history to define one another as an enemy. Not just in front of the football game, but in real life as they wore their football club costume.

The most recent big event is the death of one of the Jack Mania, after known to wore the wardrobe of Bandung football fansclub in the middle of bobotoh crowd, playing himself to be a spy, then this unlucky person getting beaten to death by bobotoh.

What a tragic event.

But the story doesn't end there, what we call as crowd mass murder isn't just on the football fans. The sad thing on history is "lynching", slave killed by a mob. Dark history of america, a newcomer which trying to wall themself from another newcomer.. heuheuheu
