John Merrick the taxi driver ?

I’m sure there will be some not so public revenge on its way. Sad but they don’t get over these things with a mere handshake. That’s just to throw the good old men in brown off.

I wouldn't shake the hands of the people who attacked me, no matter what the reason was.

 

When people start acting worse than wild animals they deserve a heavy penalty. They disgust me, vile creatures.

Ah, the old misunderstanding hub rears it's head yet again.

Next time they meet, they will be tooled up with machetes and ping pong bombs.

Finished collecting the fines... drivers will be back on duty.

Sack them all... end of.

Hard to see clearly but it looks like 5 people were 'fighting' and one was being assaulted. Rather typical.

Of course it was a misunderstanding. They assumed nothing would happen to them that was what they didnt understand

Just put them all in a cage and let them fight each other. It seems that is what they want.
