Violent cyclist:
I
want you to have a look at this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmasBlGellY&feature=youtu.be
It shows at least 6 Cape Town cyclists
beating up a taxi drive. I think it was taken on Sunday.
I
picked this up on facebook and couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing..
There
are also lots of ‘shock/horror’ comments on facebook and I read that these cyclists
have been banned from riding in the next race. Harsh treatment indeed (my
sarcasm).
But my ‘shock/horror’
is that there were other motorists and quite a few people on the pavement
watching all this going on; and it was being filmed. But no-one helped the taxi
driver. Now I quite understand that the taxi driver may have driven a bit close
or cut them off (I make this assumption because a lot of taxi drivers are
fairly awful drivers), and one might say he ‘deserved’ this beating but WOW…what
a reaction from the cyclists and spectators.
Imagine the
fall out if 6 taxi drivers beat up on one cyclist.
Oscar
The
big bookie chain in UK and Ireland, Paddy Powers, has offered money back if Oscar walks – not sure
if the pun was intended but yes, you get your bet cash back if he gets off.
There
are quite a few mutters about this advert being in bad taste.
I
am not sure why people are being sensitive - the whole Oscar story is in bad
taste including some of our own adverts (not a real Nando's advert BTW)
