Crime Husband Seeks Justice After Wife Is Killed in Fatal Porsche Hit-and-Run
Good story, and I can see that happening here in some areas. A number of years ago now in an office mutli-story car park in BKK... I was slow looking for a space, the driver behind me impatient, over-took and hit the side of my car... we stopped - she didn't get out of the car, clearly afraid of the 'bad foreigner'... ... so I just went back to my car and called my insurance... within 10mins about 20 office staff (male and female) were there talking with her... probably all her colleagues... Fortunately, none of them showed any aggression to me... But, I can see how things in 'some areas' (delicate wording) could get out of control quickly.... Regarding your motorcycle story... very similar happened to me... I saw a single motorcyclist sway into the central reservation then wipe out... so I stopped to help. Then locals came out... the difference was that I asked them to help, call and ambulance, stop traffic (with the light on their phones - it was night time) etc... but, they could easily have behaved differently. So... I do understand the 'mob rule' thing... But, I still dont see it as an excuse.... Hit-and-Run is just that, unless a mob forms and then driving straight to a police station 'could' be justified... in this story of the Porsche driver, no way... -
