AGAIN - I'm not defending the Iranian... but I am suggesting the 'pile-on' of some who seems to be bigots

 

So .... still defending him, I see. And playing the race card ("bigot") as a final desperate Hail Mary.

 

Yes, if he were Thai, or German etc.. there may be less hate.... If he were Israeli, I'd also expect to see a lot of 'pile-on' against him... because many people are bigots - so yes, the 'race card' is most definitely being played here because I think its a clear factor in how people are considering this issue.

 

And no... perhaps you are not intelligent enough to comprehend the point I am making - what contact was there ????....     was it a hand on the shoulder and the rider didn't like it ? 

Because IMO - thats perfectly normal when getting on a bike. 

But... IF the Iranian did try to 'grope her breasts' then yes, throw the book at him...

 

See... thats not defending the Iranian, thats just refusing to be a blind as you are to this issue....

I have highlighed how a Thai friend of mine has been 'banned for 3 months from riding grab' after a female rider reported that she was 'touched inappropriately'

 

Of course you believe your Thai friend blindly. This female grab rider too must be a liar.

 

100% I believe him, I've known him closely for 20 years....   there is no chance he did anything other than place his hand on her shoulder when getting on and off the bike.

 

I suspect she (the rider) didn't like this and complained about physical contact - over reacted and Grab, rightly so, protected their employees, but didn't investigate properly. 

 

So... Advice for you - Be careful when you 'get on a grab-bike' or moto-taxi (especially if the rider is female) because they may not like the manner in which you 'steady yourself' as you get on and off the bike.... 

 

Thus: my comments here are: There are other possibilities that people might want to consider if viewing this story without bigotry or bias....    for others like yourself... "hang-em" he's Iranian...
