Winmar assault charge

[SemperFidelis]

Not great news for the champ - it seems the charges relate to assaulting a cab driver and the initial hearing was delayed because of the statue unveiling.

...assaulting a cab driver who insisted on him paying up front for his journey - something that wouldn't have happened if he'd been white. oh the irony.

Everyone has to pre pay for taxi rides after 10 o'clock at night

I’ve never been asked to.

Do not know the specifics of this incident, however was known to have issues with alcohol during playing days.
Is it possible that the two are related?

You don’t catch many cabs do you? Everyone has to pay upfront between 10pm and 5am.

I’m white and have been asked for payment upfront in a taxi.

[BackFromUSA]

Took a taxi from airport last month and it was after 11pm and paid at the end.

An assault could be a punch, a shove or even saying something threatening. Varying degrees.

One of the happiest drunks I've been around.

In the past month I've caught at least 4 taxis home from the city to South Yarra/St Kilda well after 10 and haven't been asked to pay up front. I know that they are supposed to ask for a percentage up front but clearly they aren't consistent. In any case, not a good look unfortunately.

It was a kick!

[saynta]

I have never ever been asked to pay upfront but have had a taxi speed off when the driver has seen that one of my party was indigenous in appearance.

Racist pricks.

Was Nicky on the sauce?

I was under the impression he was sober nowadays.

I idolise N Winmar, but unfortunately he could let himself down at times

Don't think there are many taxi drivers with your so called white privileged background .

I wasn’t talking about the taxi driver.

White privilege means never having a taxi driver refuse you service purely because of the colour of your skin

The taxi driver was a Collingwood supporter.
Deserved everything he got and more.

Are you taking the piss here?

I know many people that could not get a taxi due to the colour of their skin.
