Indonesian railway stringing concrete balls to deter roof riders

Read the article and watch the video.

April fool's day?
If today were April first I'd think you were joking. Since it isn't I guess you are serious. But if you were serious I imagine you would be outraged by the use of capital punishment for a petty crime as the writer of the linked article is.
This makes me wonder if you actually care for the well being of people or just desire to push along your own agenda with out regard for those who would suffer because of your beliefs.
