Rich man, poor man

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!
