RUN FOREST, RUN! ONLY THIS GUY WASN'T FOREST GUMP!


No, he sure wasn't Forest Gump. This was a side street in Durban, S.A. I heard loud screams, then the commotion of people chasing this fellow. It was confusing at first and then I learned that the guying running down the street was actually trying to run away with something he had stolen from a street vendor. I snapped this photo as he was streaming by. Within an instant a crowd caught up with him and the beating began. I wrote on this in a previous blog posting...they beat him silly. But it really wasn't funny. As I indicated earlier, at first I felt sorry for the chump. That changed after we came home and found our home had been burglarized...
