Ahok was an excellent person as far as Jakarta was concerned, but he's a bloody idiot as well.
It should have been blindingly obvious the moment he mentioned anything Islamic, whatever it was, some soft dick and his band of even softer dicks was going to try to exploit it all they could - and they did, and they won, but won a lot more than most people see.
Ahok's stupidity has legitimised the Frigging Pathetic Idiots and their lousy political opinion, and spawned a whole new movement where extremism is painted as acceptable, even desirable. One pilchard opened a set of shops named after mass idiocy - wonder where the cash for that lot came from.
Ahok was a top end tosser and should be locked up for at least another ten years, not because of the crime he was accused of, but for allowing the porn king and his idiot mates the chance to seem like they're actually useful on the planet.
