Shit like this gets My Blood boiling!


On my way to work this morning, I heard a report that 10 taxi drivers were assaulting a motorist in an apparent road rage incident. The driver of a BMW apparently went into the back of the taxi, which I know is not a difficult thing to do, considering these fuckers stop randomly and suddenly on the road, I just heard on the news that the taxi driver got out of his car and smashed the motorists wind shield, when the driver got out of his car several more mini bus taxis stopped and began assaulting the man.

My grievances with this are on two points, firstly with all the eye witness accounts coming in about this incident, why didn’t people react and come to the man's aid, surely they could see that he was in trouble, this just reinforces my opinion that South Africa is a nation of cowards, scared to death of being injured, that’s why crime in this country continues to soar out of control, it isn’t because the police aren’t doing their job, it's because the law abiding citizens in this country allow shit like that go an answered. The second thing that is irritating me about this is why are taxi drivers still allowed to break the laws of the road and still not be punished, maybe it's because the rumor's of them all being owned by police are correct and the are seemingly above the law that normal tax paying citizens are obliged to obey. I am a very hot headed person and I do act on impulse, recently (about a year ago) I had been a victim of a smash and grab, the bastard smashed my window and grabbed my phone, I hit the guy in the car, but he still managed to wriggle his way out of my car and jump over the wall the other side of the road, little did he now I lived only 2 minutes away, I collected my bro, we found him and beat the shit out of him, I had assault charges laying over me for that incident, which seems to have blown over (I don’t expect to be arrested after a year).

Now I am not advocating wholesale vigilantism, I’m just saying if people had stopped, got out of the car and shown the taxi drivers that the man was not alone, maybe something like this wouldn’t have happened, instead we sit cowering in our cars waiting for some one else to do something, sure there is a very real possibility that you are putting yourself in imminent danger, but if people don’t show unity, shit like this will continue to go unpunished...anyway that's all for now, let me try and relax away from the subject!
