Preposterous Powerlessness

Well?  The newspaper said that the police were scarcely populated on the city streets this week, thanks to an instruction for them not to upset or incite the taxi drivers!  ROTFLMAO!!!!  A-hem!  Please give me a minute to dust myself off and promptly begin laughing hysterically again…HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  What a shocker!  NOT!  They said, "JUST stop us!  Just STOP us!  WE SHALL TEAR THIS CITY APART!"  And muttered as they walked away..."!?'# stop us ?!:/ be sorry #*$/ no steering wheel ?*&%# stop anywhere ?!/# our *&%^ roads!"

And way to come together in the spirit that is South Africa...!  Wow, I put my hand on my heart and tried to remember the words to our national anthem while I watched that.  I failed dismilly but dammmmn, I felt so rainbow nationish when I saw the clip of the White man and the Black man getting caught defacing the infamous Spear painting of our President and well?  His famous spear!  Disclaimer: I say that with the greatest of respect!  The poor Black man was headbutted and choke slammed like a WWE wrestler on a bad night, which I believe was totally unnecessary.  He may have been an inspiring actor in his day and this was his only chance to show the world how action-movie skilled he is.  That security guard saw cameras pointed at him and somehow seemed to have heard!  "ACTION!"  He's waiting for a call from the drama series, The Wild now.  But all that violence came after his third attempt to reach over his shoulder and pull out those plastic ties from a pocket or pouch on the top of his BACK.  Whyyyyyyyyy exactly is it not in your top pocket on the FRONT of your uniform?  I'd hate to think about where your flashlight is hidden!  Spear comes to mind.  Ewwwwwwness! But anyway, they were promptly arrested. 

Unlike the taxi drivers who could kill a small army on the road daily, meanwhile it makes sense that they should be left alone, in peace, to do it!  Our beloved SA police force, such a considerate bunch, really!  Just makes a person wanna hug a cop.  Shame, lemme give them their due, from what I could tell by that article in yesterday’s Mercury, the police, who work, were not at all impressed by that.  They sat…and sulked…some took a half-day’s leave, but they listened as instructed, nonetheless.  Those who weren’t issued with guns or pepper spray…said a silent, “Thank you!” prayer and continued on their voyage to someday becoming real cops.  At least now though, there is once more, calm in the city.  Just wish it was because the law extended its hand and…NO!  No, that would just be wishful thinking on my part.  BUT?!?  All's well that ends like shit and the lesson to be learnt from this is, when and if we're at war one day, the taxi drivers should be our negotiators! 

"Retreat into the darkness of surrender and defeat, else we shall find better use for our sports equipment!" 

"DRAT?!?  How will we ever match up to that?!  All we have are these?...these fully loaded guns?!!!" (Hint-hint person in charge of justice!) 

Annnnnnnnd....War over! 

But you guys who have been getting arrested over and over and over for drinking and driving, you should use this to your full advantage, come-on now, stop sleeping at the wheel, drunk.  Take a stand!  Unite in all that is fair and just!  With all of the roadblocks and everything lately, how much in fines are you guys raking in?  How does it compare to your salary?  What’s the price of eggs?  Ignore that last question.  Stand together in protest so that you can drink and drive, in harmony!  Baseball bats or golf sticks should do, you don't wanna totally carbon copy the taxi drivers and use hockey sticks, but I say strike while the iron is hot!  Drink and drive during peak hours, YEAHHHHH!  >_<  And see?  Can you see just how ridiculous THAT SOUNDED?!  That's my opinion on this taxi issue. It's preposterous that our law is so powerless.  Preposterous, I say!  Now just for fun, try saying that fast, three times, when you get caught for drinking and driving.
