@ Pieceuhderockyeahright who wrote “as long as you are white and a tourist and Canadian? A different sentencing regime is applied to you in Barbados.”

How may Bajans on remand for months in Dodds for a pound or two of weed ?

I cannot blame the system for exacting financial gain in this situation.
Plus, Dodds full, and you send them in there for a while, and next thing you know they get back home, and begin some legal proceeding claiming ‘whatever happened to them in Dodds’, and filling up the airwaves with negative news. Avoid crap whenever you can.

@ Hants,
It surprises me that you are interested in modern F1 as it lacks the excitement of yesteryear where you had great characters, competitive teams and where if a driver drove into a barrier or had a high speed crash he could have forfeited his life.

Modern F1 is exciting enough for me. Also like Indy Car.

Disgusting indeed.
From the video it seems as though the poor soul just wanted company. Maybe someone to talk to her, or simply to listen to her…but she was rebuffed more roughly that one would rebuff a stray dog.
