@nonredneck. I'm not in a position to kill any discourse. I want us to stick to the subject only.
nonredneck....
A non conformist? Good for you!
@Kes. Civilized discourse..don't kill it. Free knowledge..Why not!? JPB, Comello, padt, enakajah: all has great points worth listening to. Few more conversations like this one will shut me up wanting to listen for more.
@ALL. Let's stick to the Papua issue.
Timika. Armed attackers shot a policeman dead at point-blank range on Saturday when they ambushed a paramilitary patrol in Indonesia’s restive province of Papua, authorities said.
The group opened fire on 12 paramilitary police who were conducting a routine patrol in Puncak Jaya highland in central Papua, provincial police spokesman Wachyono said.
“One police member was shot in the head. Our personnel are still chasing down the attackers,” he said, in the latest spasm of violence in the highland district, believed to be a hub of Papuan separatists.
Four policemen had been killed there in separate ambushes since October.
Attackers also shot and killed a food vendor last week in the district, where hundreds of paramilitary reinforcements were sent in October.
Papuans, mostly ethnic Melanesians, have rejected their special autonomy status within Indonesia and poorly armed separatist groups have fought a low-level insurgency.
Indonesian forces are accused of torture and other human rights abuses in Papua. Jakarta denies the allegations but refuses to allow foreign media or aid workers into the region to conduct independent inquiries.

I think it will happen because ultimately: no concert = no kickback.
