Youtuber pranks trans women with trash, now faces up to 12 years in jail

[Lion Heart 15,041]

Indonesian YouTuber Ferdian Paleka and two of his cohorts now face up to 12 years in prison for a video prank in which they gave boxes filled with "noodles" to a group of transgender women in the city of Bandung. The boxes were actually filled with rotten vegetables and bits of stone and concrete.

His now-deleted video reportedly opened with him and two associates driving and playing electronic dance music while Paleka described their soon-to-be-executed plan to "distribute basic necessities containing bricks and rubbish," according to the international LGBTQ website PinkNews.

Paleka used transphobic slurs in the video's intro, stating, "If there are any bencong, we'll give them the boxes, but if they're not around, that means this city is safe from waria." Bencong is an Indonesian slur for trans people and waria is an Indonesian slang term combining the words for "man" and "woman."

...

Paleka reportedly gave a box of rotten food to at least two transgender women on the Bandung neighborhood of Kiaracondong. His partners recorded video as Paleka fished rotten food from the trash. They also laughed when the women expressed disgust and embarrassment about receiving rotten and inedible scraps.

...

Angry protesters later stormed the outside of Paleka's home in the neighborhood of Baleendah as police arrived to apprehend him. Paleka fled, and to throw police off of his trail, Paleka's father and a relative drove Paleka's car, thinking the police would follow the license plates registered in his name.

However, police later arrested Paleka on the Tangerang-Merak toll road. He now faces up to 12 years imprisonment under the country's Information and Electronic Transactions Law.

I didn't see the video, but the transphobia has got to stop. What's with everybody hating on people that just try to be who they are and love themselves a little bit more 

I hope he learns from this, because going to jail might only make him an even worse person.

They deserve to rot in jail.

You know there is a trash person involved when a headline says "youtuber pranks"

Do people actually find this stuff funny, like, for real funny? Because if someone did something similar to me, my immediate response would be... very American to say the least, as in, violent.

Although 12 years might be excessive, (big maybe on might be) I’m glad this person will face charges and ostensibly prison. Examples of this kind of misbehaviour must be set. What he did was disgusting. What a hard way to learn a lesson, throwing away a huge chunk of ur life if he gets those 12 years.

When it's right, it's right! 🥂

Anti-lgbtqia+ & racists are just honestly and genuinely weird, and sad, and ultimately pathetic. Hope he rots in jail, he's gonna be a huge fan of d!ck.

Enjoy prison.

He's being bullied in the prison. The inmates stripped him in his underwear and asked him to get into rubbish bin.

He gets what he deserves.

And now people are leaking his sex tape.

Wow I didn't know Indonesia is that progressive in LGBTQ rights.

I kinda hate the sex tape leaking thing tho, why stump to his level.

I hate some of the prank videos

when ever the victim got mad, they just keep repeating IT A JOKE IT'S A FKING JOKE....

They deserve it, and some deserve to get punch by people. They prank at strangers and when something goes wrong they said becuase people are lack of sense of humor, cannot take a joke... like WTF
