This guy should be locked up until he grows up to be a man. Man to man he would have ended up a pulp. No less than defecating in public.

No only him all the motorists who start brawl after the accidents should be punished. They should understand the value of civilized life.

Big show by the newly rich morons who thinks they own the roads with their luxury cars. A show off cos of the lady in the DPL car. I wonder what his show would have been if the DPL man was with a few Russian guys in the car. Would have pissed in his pants for sure.

We have very bad records for not enforcing the law, especially in the cases of foreigners are involved. We as a nation, a country need to maintain a high discipline towards foreigners irrespective who they are.

Very good move. Put him into jail for 6 months.Also have some control over DP and NGO s as well. There is vehicle parked on narrow road corner by Oxfarm on rotini rd, and a narrow road. This is their permanent parking.

Diplomat or otherwise we need this type of hooligans behind bars to learn their lesson. We are brought to shame by this type of characters acting this way.

Serves him right. These high highfalutin buggers are the ones that give our country a bad name. Lock him up for a longtime so that he will come down to earth!

Clearly video suggests that the diplomat was attacked by the thug, while using filthy languages and insulting word. He should have called Police when told that the other side is s diplomat.

Excellent. Get him to apologize at the same spot with as many who want to watch, give wide media coverage and warn him that the next time he will go for several months. Unless you take punitive action NOW, it will never stop. These goons who are supported by politicos think no end of themselves.
