Ice Cream Wars

Over in the UK ice cream truck drivers take their turf super serious. If you want to try and corner your competitors market you better be ready to throw down. Or at least beat the shit out of each others trucks. Good Humor? I don't think so. Sorry that was lame.

Two drivers went at it in the English city of Blackburn last week after one driver pulled up along the other one and started offering his treats at a lower price. Eyewitness and camera man Mobben Yaseen couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing outside his flat,
"I heard all this commotion and swearing and thought I'd film it. My neighbour told me his daughter who is 12 or 13 was being served just before I started filming it when another ice cream seller started shouting he could do the same ice cream 10p cheaper and the other one got annoyed and then it turned into fracas. This is a really friendly and peaceful street and it's not acceptable."

No doubt a total dick move on the one drivers part but now both drivers will be docked pay for repairs to the trucks. So I guess no one really wins. Plus, if they do like here in the States the driver has to pay for all the ice cream himself and makes money off what he sells. So basically it's a lose-lose situation no matter what.
Local police are looking into the incident and say that they've spoke with both drivers and want to investigate further. Slow crime day I guess.
The driver of the van in back, Mr. Mulla, says he should be freed of all charges because he suffered a panic attack during the whole ordeal. He told police the reason he smashed the first van was because of the panic attack and he was blocked in with no where else to go.
I say the both of them need to get back to work and sell some fucking bomb pops. Nobody likes a whiny ice cream truck driver.
