Teri: People who litter are pigs. Woman with white vest can do better. Hope woman on bike is recovered. Hope the City provides more trash receptacles. Hope motorists mother is embarassed.

DANK to White Vest Girl: You can’t actually think that people with post grade 9 educations would believe your account of things. Or could you? I know this courier girl, and had a run in with her vicariously. She has a big mouth, sure, but she is not a psycho. Even with the brush I...

zoe: I'm just curious about White Vest Lady's story: at what point did your fiancee throw your coffees on the courier? The pictures show that she's dripping wet, so I'm just wondering. Furthermore, why on earth would she want to key your car? She'd returned the litter already! Your fiancee clearly...

bystander: Before we're ready to judge anyone we should get the facts straight. You have a few photos, a bystander (who didn't see the whole event but took some photos as it developed) with his story and the hell brakes loose. Maybe in fact they didn't litter, maybe they did drop...

in response to Motorist Vs Courier

To Philomath: A correct statement would be; "A person should avoid confrontation at all times in a society that is not free" Confrontation is acceptable, violence is not. Ergo the messenger, while rude or intrusive, was still acting within our society, her assailant stepped clearly out of bounds.

how developed ?: I come from a third world country, but the litter in Toronto - first world city - is horrible. We have to teach our citizens that the garbage bins all over the place are there not as a decoration, we must use them. How disgusting this guy's behavior !

To White Vest Girl: Your significant other is known to police for previous assualts, isn't he? Yes we know that. The eyewitness statements of the first incident more closely parralel the couriers side of things.

Philomath: The courier person is at fault! Why - A person should avoid confrontation at all times! If she was so offended, she should have taken down the license plat number and reported it to the authorities. Why - Any job that you do, you are asked not to confront thieves, holligans etc,...
