Plus the wrong reaction to not getting fried chicken skin

Hello reader,

Hundreds were arrested during yesterday’s protest against lawmakers in Jakarta, with a large portion of detainees being underage. While the protest did not seem to leave the DPR shooked, they did claim that their controversial housing allowance is not as bad as it sounds.

More on that right below. Also, a word of advice: however much you love fried chicken skin, it’s never worth going to prison for. One street thug is going to find out the hard way that he won’t be able to get the crunchy, juicy goodness behind bars.

Cheers,

Andra
