I was 12 and 3/4 on 12 May 1998 when those kids got shot at Universitas Trisakti. We didn't live in Jakarta at that time, so it was more or less safe where we lived (on a completely different island). But boy, let me tell you, when they said Indonesia plunged into chaos, they really meant Java with Jakarta at the epicentre of the violence. All because some greedy, senile, paranoid shithead who has received US support since the 70s (maybe even since 1965) got more greedy, senile, and paranoid and refused to step down.
