A reddit post becomes viral for all the right – and wrong – resons. Shared under a popular Subreddit, a user tells a disturbing incident with a lawyer who allegedly violated traffic rules, publicly slapped him and then threatened him with legal action – all because the user dared to call out his reckless behavior. The man, who claims to work in a smart city and follows the traffic rules strictly, took a real turn with a green signal when a lawyer – without a helmet and allegedly jumped a red light – informed more than 50 km / h and almost clashed with him. When the user confronted the man with some choice words, things escalated. The lawyer stopped him, slapped him and said, ‘You don’t know how to act with an advocate. Come to the station. ‘ What followed, however, is what attracted the internet attention. Despite being provoked, the Redditor wrote that he controls his anger – something he says, it wasn’t always easy for him. “Today, I almost got ready to hit his face with the sharp tip of the key I held in my fist,” he admits. But then he thought of his family. “I want to let it go for my family. I’m not afraid of him, but of my family, ‘he wrote. He added that although he could have used his contacts to access CCTV footage that proved the lawyer’s traffic violations, there was no visual proof of the blow, and that the matter may have only brought more problems.
