    Dear CA568413

    Yes you guys in the white bakkie.

    You okes are so cool. And you’re funny! I bet you get told that all the time. Let me guess? Every girl wants you and every guy wants to be you right? It must be so tough.

    Gee,  I just can’t believe I’m lucky enough to live in the same city as you.  All of you.

    Gosh I can die happy now!

    Exactly what kind of morons are you? You thought it was funny to strip a woman of her dignity like that?

    The internet has considerably larger reach than 4 lanes of town traffic on a Saturday afternoon. My heart will sing when it finds out your names.

    Cruising around, looking cool in the back of your bakkie with your apparent god complexes; you’re all exactly the type of people I cannot stand.

    For those of you who weren’t in the back of the bakkie or in nearby cars. These charming individuals apparently called over a Big Issue vendor in traffic, threw water all over her and then laughed about it.
    If you date or even worse gave birth to one of them (shame), I am embarrassed for you.

    I have met elastic bands with higher levels of intellectual capacity and paper cups with better wit.

    I hope someone inserts a vuvuzela into you.

    Kind Regards

    Ps Thanks to VampyreJourno and hurricaneanatom for snapping the pic and breaking this story.

        Why must this world have people like this in it? So sad.

                  On Cape Talk this morning, the lady who took the pic, said that some of the motorists in the surrounding cars were apparently entertained by this show and also laughed about it! It’s so sad that there are people out there who still find it entertaining to humiliate someone else. These are the type of people who have no integrity, and need to commit such pathetic acts to strip others of their dignity, because they have none. The ones who just stood by and joined in the laughter are equally pathetic.

                    It’s sad how people have to pick on others to feel better about themselves…

                      Hey guys, just reposting this tweet from Big Issue Account. Think it is a very valid point:

                      “Request that Florence’s decision to handle #capeshame peacefully pls be respected.Bakkie owner and family should not be harrassed/approached.”

                        6 months later; what has developed? Prosecutions? Punishment? Nothing, as usual?
