In Canada we would call it criminal negligence. It is astonishingly reckless behaviour by men of the Irish Travellers culture as they race two sulky horses down a highway near Cork. There are harrowing scenes as police (the Garda) try to stop this race and other Travellers in cars weave through traffic shouting encouragement and jeopardizing the lives of hundreds of motorists. The tape is long but has been watched by nearly 200,000 people in four days. It’s worth watching as an insight into group conduct. Note the gathering of men at the end arguing over the outcome of the race. The video was shot by one of the Travellers and is said to have been re-recorded by a YouTube user in order to make sure it didn’t get pulled down.
