Montreal Taxi Driver Runs Over Punk

[hystat]

Somewhere deep in my cerebral cortex, is a respect for 2 tons of glass and steel with 200HP to propel it.
I don't think even alcohol can impair my judgment.
Do others not possess that logic?
I never physically stand my ground with anyone likely to be carrying a gun, or... hockey players, boxers, large dogs barring their teeth, cars, trucks, buses, or heavy equipment.
At some point right and wrong are trumped by size and/or power.

Not sure if it was about an unpaid fare. Heard it was about a slammed door, possibly turned into an upaid fare perhaps?

Trayvon was pursued and shot by a vigilante. Not the same thing at all.

From what I have read... and unfortunately that's all any of us have to go on in this situation... he was pursued initially, but at some point decided to turn around and attack Zimmerman. Granted he had done nothing wrong before hand, but had he continued on his way, there would have been no altercation.

The cab riders apparently slammed the door too hard... not a big deal... had they continued peacefully with their night, instead of attacking the cab, there would have been no altercation.

Beyond that, I see a similarity in the way these events have polarized people completely, and largely eliminated any rational discussion. Would be tough to be a judge in either case. Both have been tried extensively in the media.

large dogs barring their teeth.

I agree with everything you said.

Except dogs. I hate dogs. I would kick that dog right in the side of the mouth and knock all those teeth out.

I'm not scared of a dog one bit. Hate those things. They make adrenaline surge through my body. I think dogs can sense it, too. Dogs usually always run away from me or are very cautious when I'm around.
