Mojoman Posted September 28, 2016 Share What I don't understand about this is that it's now on news24 and at least one incident happened in a very public place where there were surely other patrons. Did no-one stop to look or come forward and give their view of what actually happened or what they saw?I also wonder why no-one just simply followed him home in their car?

Did no-one stop to look or come forward and give their view of what actually happened or what they saw?means zero, about a month ago I sat at a robot and I saw some special creature laying into his partner heavily, she had climbed out the car and he was using her as a punching bag, I pulled to the pavement and tried to stop him and I repeatedly reminded him thats a woman he is hitting, eventually he took a swing at me, when that was over I looked around and everyone was using their phones to capture this poor woman getting beaten. The group came running at me I thought here we go,, white gent assults a non white gent(in defence) two seconds later they decided now that he had finished beating her they put away the cameras and start mob justice,,,I was told thank you AND YOU MUST NOW LEAVE, BY THE SECOND LEAVE NOW I decided to leave, the lady thanked me, I flagged down a chubb car and gave him R100 told him to take her where she wants to go. If you waiting for Joe public to help, all you need to do is read a few threads to see very few people want to get involved, and yes I do understand why, thinking back I got a family at home the situation could have ended very ugly for me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or another case where a teacher was going into labour and instead of the class summoning help they took selfies with the distraught teacher in the background....!

nathrix Posted September 28, 2016 Share Pity people and the media can't go as vigorously after all the murderers on our roads using their vehicles as weapons of mass destruction, put them in jail and throw away the keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourbar Posted September 28, 2016 Share Doesn't really make any difference what their intensions were.With those injuries to her husband the cyclist is going to do jail time for Assault GBH unless he comes forward with witnessesActually a sensible answer! I saw the whole incident happening. Regardless of what the motorist did or did not do, this is plain assault that took place. All the elements of a criminal act were there, and irrespective what grade of provocation he may plead, this was an intentional act. As the matter is now sub judice, this is all that I am disclosing at the moment, but this incident will not go away by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she was attacking him with a panga and trying to run his kids over with her car, the story would be very different. I am not defending anybody here, nor do I believe the dude was in the right, I am just saying that you cannot discard logic and the law simply because it doesnt suit your view.

Vetplant Posted September 28, 2016 Share According to the Kdorp News its a WAR! http://krugersdorpnews.co.za/308726/the-war-rages-on/Clickbait headline for sure. The content is actually quite balanced, they could have added that a different cyclist came to the rescue of the victim. I still can't understand why nobody followed the alleged perp to his home or until police arrived. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
