Thumbs down Downwind indeed

Na - I reckon it's everybody's busines that has the safety and reputation of fellow aviators at heart.
Like others on this site, I witnessed a downwind and intersection departure (20 kts+), short rwy, in a loaded to the gills 210. Mid Northern coastal WA area.
Talk about a prize f..wit, the only saving grace was that the load was freight.
Talk about not being able to believe yer eyes!!
Yeah, I'd have given the driver an earful, and followed it up if he/she got smart about it.
