Senior Citizen Elicits Reactions Online for Attacking Motorcycle Riders in Ilocos Norte
A senior citizen elicits reactions online for assaulting motorcycle riders from Barangay Bulbulala in Vintar, Ilocos Norte.
The Facebook page “Ballog Ni Ilocano page” shared video footage of a senior citizen assaulting motorcycle riders passing along the road. The video quickly circulated online and elicited reactions from the netizens.
In the video, the elderly woman can be seen throwing objects at motorists who were driving recklessly in their area. The lady has raised concerns about the reckless driving and speeding of some motorists in their area.
It all started when the first motorist got upset and threw something at the senior citizen. In a surprising turn of events, the rider returned to confront the elderly person, resulting in a heated argument between the two. The rider even rammed the senior citizen, escalating the situation further.
Shortly after, the old lady was seen talking to another man who appeared to be a barangay official. However, unexpectedly, the elderly person suddenly threw something at another motorist passing by.
This action angered the rider who returned and retaliated by throwing objects at the senior citizen’s house as revenge. A woman also joined in, throwing objects at the motorist’s house, leading to a dangerous cycle of retaliation.
Regardless of the reasons behind the conflict, the actions of the senior citizen were wrong because they could potentially cause accidents for the motorcycle riders he targeted with his throws.
According to the old lady, many motorists in the barangay drive too fast and do not follow traffic rules, putting pedestrians and other road users at risk. The residents insist on the need for stricter enforcement of traffic regulations to ensure the safety of everyone in the community.
