Can we understand such forms of lynching, the witch burning, the annihilation of entire families and groups inside burning houses and shops – the burning of the taxi driver - as a sacrificial logic? As a purging of evil and danger from within the community, where the victim
stands in for the evil and the violence that is intrinsic to the community itself and thus is a constant desire and drive that must be placated?

As well as providing protection for the kyai, several ronda members sought protection for themselves. Many locals visited kyai and dukun (magic specialists), asking for invulnerability spells and talismans, and had their weapons ‘filled’ with ilmu. Such ilmu was said to be able to kill a person in the event of receiving even the slightest wound. The role of the spells, talismans, and ilmu cannot be overemphasized, for it was believed that ninja could not be killed using the same methods as for ordinary humans.
