Machete Man

 

I thought the above was an example of road rage but it appears that it may have been gang related. The man in the car knew the man with the Zombie Knife. I was shocked when I saw it first thinking that it was common and garden road rage. Road rage with attitude. It is an example of the insanity that I am obsessed with.

I remember trying to leave Catford once in the rush hour and I witnessed a man get out of his car and jump up on to the footplate and mirrors of a HGV and start banging on the window of the lorry driver's cab.

I remember leaving Sainsburys in Sydenham and making my way back to Downham when a car pulled up alongside and the driver started screaming expletives and swearing at me. I couldn't for the life of me work out what I'd done wrong apart from being in front of my drive by abuser. Yes I do. It has just come back to me. My drive by abuser was driving so close to my boot (bumper) that I slammed on my brakes to warn him off. A high risk strategy because he could have crashed into me. This was before the days of dashcam. He was in the wrong originally but I ended up being in the wrong due to my response.  

Man's insanity to man and especially women. 

It appears that men with machetes are targetting cyclists riding high end bicycles. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-58892191

I must be of a fragile nature because all the above naked aggression and threatening violent behaviour turns me into an amateur psychologist wanting to know the answer to the question why?

I am told that my strategy of dealing with Pure OCD (Intrusive Thoughts) is not the correct one. I utilise Avoidance. 

Why would you go looking for trouble but many of us cannot avoid traffic jams and rush hour and the inevitable danger of road rage that accompanies it.  

You could avoid riding high end bicycles. You could avoid driving flash cars.

"Why should we?" 

There is an old adage that winds many people up "You're asking for trouble" 

Sometimes we are asking for trouble by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, for being the wrong colour, being the wrong gender and being the wrong sexual orientation https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48555889  

The constant undercurrent of negativity, self loathing and hatred of ourselves and others in society constantly bubbles up to the surface. Who are there to clean up the mess? The Police. They themselves, especially the Met are not immune from the human dis-ease regardless of their (non existant) vetting procedures.

We have a human and humanity problem which is exacerbated by Competition. Finding our place in society defining ourselves through the use of cunning and guile. 

If we can't hack the odds against us, we end up in Prison. Ushered through a Criminal Justice system run by a Mafia of Judges from good schools.

Their mantra is 'let us put Zombie Knife Man behind bars so he cannot upset the genteel middle class. A prison system that alienates even further.

Society cannot be rehabilitated, humanity cannot be rehabilitated.

Mother Nature was doing ok before we turned up and will do quite nicely again once we are gone.

Those Heads of State & Big Wigs at Cop 26 should have been prevented from exhaling all that hot air.

Natural Selection awaits us. 

Please leave your machete at the entrance of Marks & Spencer.
