He Branches hurled – then the horses burned

It started innocently enough. A 30-year-old riding instructor and her 45-year-old riding student, were with their horses on the Rebeggstrasse in Zurich waldwärts on-the-go, as they overtook the walking a 45-year-old man and his eight-year-old son in a row riding at a walking pace.

Thus, the harmless part of the story is already finished. As the son approached unexpectedly from behind the horses. The riding student, instructed him according to the indictment, "friendly, but not" out to get the horses to close.

Obviously, the father, a social worker felt this as a rebuke. What followed, is referred to by the single judge on the district court of Zurich "absolutely not understandable," The man pursued with his son, the two riders for about ten minutes over a distance of approximately 650 meters.

Repeatedly, he threw the Branches in the direction of the riders and horses without first making. As the riding instructor announced twice to the emergency, the police and the cell phone photos of the man made, he let go of his to Do.

After a last Astwurf the horses ran away, galloping down-modulated in an uncontrolled manner on the piston Hofer eggstrasse the local hill, and could only be at the fire pit at the junction with the Rebeggweg slowed down.

in court, the unemployed graduates turned the tables on them. The two women were to blame for everything. He didn't want to go over with his son to the horses, but the women would have them blocked with their horses. "You have done so, as have heard, and they did not see us." Since he had used branches that were thinner than his little Finger, and threw it in the direction of the horses, so they reacted and the way made.

The #MeToo-movement

After all, he admitted, that he had been "gefuchtelt around and be fucking done". But the had done especially the women. And he apparently knew the reason: "It was the time of the #MeToo movement. You probably had the impression that I was a kind of Harvey Weinstein, the show's wrap this up." They would have shown him the finger and him laughed.

With the story of the revenge of the women that made it Fun, perform and treat condescending, not by the urge of man to the single judge.
