From "The Peninsula" on-line's letters to the editor:
"Commuters driving along the road opposite the City Center witnessed a horrible incident on Thursday at around 8pm. The passenger of a white sports car that was being driven recklessly in between cars, rolled down his window and threw a can of soda and leftover food at the faces of labourers sitting on the pavement waiting for the bus. The driver of the white vehicle, along with his friend, both of whom are of Middle Eastern origin, laughed as they rolled up their window, and as they proceeded to dart in and out of traffic, other drivers who managed to see their degrading act began to shout and beep their horns at them, expressing their disgust at what they had witnessed. The Asian worker that was hit in the face, when asked if this was the first time he was the victim of such foolish and insensitive behaviour, told The Peninsula, “We are used to being treated inhumanely, whilst sitting here on the pavement waiting for our bus service to take us back to the camp. Many of us have had food, half empty soda cans, and other items thrown at us from cars. Especially during the evening when it seems that the youth is out looking for entertainment and use us as their target.”-Adeil A, Doha"
