http://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-shooting-idUSKCN0WI2ZI?utm_source=twitter
The Uber driver in Michigan charged with murdering six people last month in a shooting spree has filed a $10 million federal civil rights lawsuit against the ride-sharing company, saying that it is Uber's fault he is in prison, court records show.
Jason Dalton, 45, filed the two-page, handwritten lawsuit against Uber in U.S. District Court in Detroit UBER.UL on Tuesday, saying the company ruined his life and never invited him to any "corporate parties."
"Uber doesn't care about its drivers. We are peasants and pawn pieces to Uber's bottom line," Dalton wrote, adding that the company discriminates against him because of his mental health. "I'm currently in prison because of Uber."
Dalton wrote that he is seeking a jury trial and would represent himself in court.

OK so it's Uber's fault that the shooter went on that rampage and killed 6 people? Fail.

his mental illness. That said, I have no doubt Uber treat him like shit.

Not that I would condone such a thing, just saying.
