George,
in Lusaka, Sambia, he would be probably be a hero. I have been there
last year. You don't stop there at stoplights, in the dark, no
streetlights. If a stoplight gets red, everybody is working away from
the crossroads , across a green, sideways, just to escape from this
space where those guy jump from their lorry's back , eager to smash your
car ,steal whatever they can get.
