Monkey kicking pedestrian down adds only more tension to human-primate relations

Even though you may think you won't get kicked in the back by a monkey walking down the street, that in no way guarantees your safety.

This poor man, who did nothing but try to make his way along the road, presumably did nothing to this monkey. But that didn't stop the simian from making its presence known. Oh no. 

No word on whether this is just a local power play to establish dominance or the beginning of a concerted effort by all primates to kick all pedestrians. Only time will tell. But at least this guy seems fine.

I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
