Courier Vs Motorist - Must See Link


Hi everyone,

The Toronto Star a few days ago ran a cover story of how a motorist attacked a courier in my neighborhood of Kensington Market. A local website, www.citynoise.org posted some amazing pictures of the whole incident.

Check out the link:

Essentially, this guy in his SUV felt that he didn't want any garbage in his vehicle and decided to toss it onto the street. The courier, Leah, picked up his burger and threw it back into his SUV. The guy then threw his coffee on Leah, so she keyed his penis-extension...which led to the altercation in the above photos.

To add to the lunacy, the photographer went to take a photo of the SUV's license plate, and the driver grabbed a baseball bat from the trunk and charged him.

Unreal.

I don't condone violence, but if push came to shove and your life's in danger, I'd hope all my cyclist friends would swing their u-locks for protection!
