And they took to the streets to protest over a $700 million bailout.

Imagine if Americans got angry like this..and we spent trillions on the banks.

Indonesia Riots Over Treasury Secretary's Bailout

snippet:
"Thousands of students, labor members, and other mass organizations rioted outside the House of Representatives yesterday and today. These are the people that ended up paying for the bailout, and the same ones that are rioting in Greece and California.

Minister Indrawati has already faced more outrage than her equivalents around the world, however, more than Giorgos Papaconstantinou and far more than Tim Geithner."




And riots are continuing at UC Berkley in California..just not publicized so much:
