A
struggling cabbie was assailed with slaps and insults by a high-handed
politician. A lot of heat was generated
in the social media world where the majority thought he should seek redress.
But in
our world, he knew he would be expected to grin and bear his ordeal with equanimity,
while, on the other hand, his well-placed assailant would be expected to pervert
the course of justice, or get a slap on the wrist.
Thus,
knowing there are a lot of hurdles a man of his class would have to overcome to
obtain justice, our cabbie friend jumped at the offer to exchange the pursuit
of the case with financial and material reparations from his assailant. Wise
man!
