Man, that video is hard to watch.

Good on the cabbie for keeping his cool. I know CJay 92 contacted the guy and gave him and his family a bunch of stuff like gift certs as a sign of support. I'm sure others have reached out as well to re-iterate that this guy's views are not representative of Calgarians, or Canadians for that matter.

Internet shaming these days is like tarring and feathering and stoning of the olden days.

Used for justice, revenge or just public humiliation for an act done wrong. You could see it being a deterrent for some people too.

Except back them only the people in your village knew. These days everyone in the world could potentially know in a very short timeframe.
