Huge support “whipped up” for Dublin horse and carriage driver who whipped American tourists who tried to do a runner




It’s one of the most viral videos in recent times, and it’s easy to see why.

Footage showing “traditional justice” has literally been seen millions of times around the world.

Two American tourists were in Dublin for St Patrick’s celebrations and decided to take a nice, long leisurely horse and carriage ride around Molly Malone’s fair city on Saturday evening.

However, at the end of their travels, they decided it would be hilarious to record themselves “doing a runner” from the carriage without paying the driver.

What they didn’t expect, however, was the driver to pull up, run after them, corner them in a one way street and whip sense into them – literally.

After a number of shouts and whips, the yanks pulled out $100 and gave it the driver, telling him they were sorry and that was a little extra there for him.

Social media users have backed the driver claiming that he was fully within his rights to dish out “traditional justice”. Watch the footage below and tell us what you think:
