Dear fellow gossips, We dropped by the Deep (a drinking joint in Ntinda) on our way home on Monday night (Feb 12). This was at about 1.00 a.m. We witnessed something none of us had expected to see in our partying life. Three boys were standing in the doorway of the Deep, chatting. Then came this guy who, well, didn't have the courtesy to ask to be excused. He merely squeezed himself between the guys as he attempted to pass. In the process, he knocked the bottle of beer from one guy's hand and it fell to the floor. The guys asked him to buy another beer to replace the spilt one. The witless fellow probably did not have money on him so he could not buy the beer. They hassled him, man-handled him before one of them suggested, "Mutwale mu kasasiro" (Take him to the dust bin - the skips that Kampala City Council places by the roadside, or at least that's what we thought). We stared at them from our table in silent horror. We asked the askaris who were standing near-by to intervene. They looked reluctant, but moved over anyway, their arms folded. The three well-built guys (aged between the late 20s early 30s) lifted the poor fellow, opened the trunk of their car, dumped him inside and closed the boot! Can you believe that? After some five minutes, they opened the trunk and told the fellow to get out and walk. He ran. I took down the car registration. It is a Mercedes Benz UAA 765T. Do these boys have any idea how fatal their kasasiro treatment can be. that, in his drunken state, the poor boy could easily have suffocated? I advise those who get clumsy when they've drunk a few beers to steer clear of this car. Yours, L.N Ends
