Here’s an awesome display of vigilante justice delivered for all to see in the streets of Moscow and the internets of Russia. When a high-ranking government official decided to take a little drive through the “public transport only” lane, one lone cyclist decided to stop him. With his bike. You’re-not-going-anywhere-buddy style.
A crowd gathered. A traffic cop arrived. He was shooed off by Mr. Fancy Official Pants. Then, the crowd encircled the Mercedes mid-getaway and chanted “TICKET! TICKET! TICKET!” until another, younger cop was thrust into the awkward situation and issued the damn ticket.
This, ladies and gentlemen, would have been a rare spectacle even in New York where officials and various special classes are used to special above-the-law privileges. But for it to happen in Russia? Where girls get sent to the gulag for 40 seconds of dancing in a church against Putin? Damn.
Truly, that first gentlemen is a disciple of Bucket Man. Glory! Hallelujah!
How much you want to bet a KGB agent walks up to him tonight and injects him with cyanide?!
And in an un-related event, A cylcing aficionado was found brutally murdered in his Moscow apartment this evening. Public Safety officials are unable to find the motive for such an heinous attack, other than detectives finding the body sitting on a bicycle in the upright position, a possible sadistic revenge attack sources believe.
THAT's BALLZ!
