Costas2008 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ahhhhh, he said he won’t take money from them again. We should all believe him. After all it's only the second time he's been arrested for the same crime. Give him a chance, so he can extort some more money from the others, after all the buffallows are sick back home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post iReason Posted September 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2014 This my friends, is a synopsis of what will eventually happen in all sectors once the current circus loses steam. It would take generations to change this mind-set. And it's not going to come from weekly "Happiness" TV shows... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WhamBam Posted September 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2014 If this man is arrested twice and released twice with no obvious punishment I believe it will increase his power over other motorcycle taxi drivers. It would be easy for him to say something like, "Ha, they cannot keep me or punish me. I am too powerful." Quite possibly making others more scared of him. If he is guilty they should punish him severely to set a precedent and allow others to see justice is working. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punishment by making him ride a pink fino on his taxi round whilst sporting a borat swimsuit for a month.

hobz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 They gotta treat these guys seriously... what they are doing now is just a joke and makes it worse... now everyone knows all you have to do is promise to behave and they let you continue until next time.. They should seize/freeze all assets pending investigation. Throw in jail pending trial. Etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokay Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 2nd offenders should get the book thrown at them. Lock this criminal up for 2 or 3 years and make an example. Tagging and releasing these guys does nothing, just like when they tag and release the girls they pick up on the beach. 500b fine, thank you, see you tomorrow.

ALFREDO Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 What will happen if all motorcycle taxi just don't give those extortionists the money? Why everyone fear the extortionists? Who are behind these extortionists? Since when this extortionist things happen and everyone just give automatically like clockwork. Weird. What will happen? Looking at the photo of him and his looks, he reminds me at a butcher I have known in my home country. Merciless, stoic, no remorse! I would be careful to drive with him somewhere.

ATF Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 To enlighten all of you baying for his execution. M/C Taxi's have to pay for their plot just as street food vendors and other sidewalk vendors do. This guy is just an errand boy collecting money. The M/C Taxis play an important role in Policing. If you notice some of them have Police radios to chase down people when the need arises. There seems to be some confusion as to who should be collecting the monthly payments that's why he's not getting jailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
