Wonder what made the guy lose it.

... but I don't think any drive-by shooting was involved.

LOL You can save a few bucks, folks, while putting regular cabs out of business...

for hours for a ride, and charged a small fortune for the privilege. Uber is usually there within 15 minutes, and is cheaper. If taxis want to survive, they've got to get on the ball.

Fast, cheap and very pleasant.

Of course our drivers didn't shoot anyone. But taxi drivers can be psychos too.

to see your Uber driver do a drive-by shooting!

What could be better than that?

If the cab companies can offload the insurance and car maintenance onto the drivers, and not have to deal with permits and inspections and bond plates and radios or mobile data terminals and people answering phones, they can afford to drop the fares quite a bit. Way below the cost of doing business when THEY have hungry cars to feed.

The whole industry sux. But as long as Uber has an unlimited supply of desperate people that they can drain so they don't have to pay fleet expenses, they will be able to put enough cars out to offer quick service to the decreasing number of people who can afford any transportation service.

And soon, the driverless car will be here and Travis K can put ALL the professional drivers into the gutters and overpasses and 'bandominiums of the upcoming dystopia of massive unemployment and homelessness.

extra bucks now and then. He likes getting out there and basically getting paid to interact with people. It's just a lark for him. He's a nurse the rest of the time.
But, again, taxis always take way too long to get to me. And if I have groceries, or if it's cold, I don't want to wait on you to get to me. I got stuff to do.
I ended up calling the cab company a bunch of times, but they couldn't get their heads out of their asses long enough to get to me. I walked 9 miles home in the freezing temps after my cell died.
So, yeah. You want to remove choices and competition. No thanks.

the NRA and the Michigan finest NRA board member (nu-gent) have to say about this, that all law biding citizens should have a gun-----------------this is really sick, four people dead

Because, while a lot of the MSM was giving the talk about good old Scalia, lets remember that he along with his band of right wing hypocrites justices said that people have a right to a gun (Heller vs District of Columbia), after all, they had to do the word smithing of this amendment to allow this stuff.

And please don't even go down the road that if people had guns to protect themselves from the bad guys everything would be fine--------------------------right.

His band of right wing U.S. justice hypocrites didn't and have never ruled on the liability issue-------------never, is Uber company liable, is the gun liable, is the damn driver liable, is Cracker Barrel liable, who probably didn't, I suppose have a sign up on the property "NO GUNS ALLOWED" because they do own the land on which the building sits on, or if its leased, does that property owner have responsibility-----------------, the street on which this Uber driver was driving on, the town, the state

Just a few months ago there was a random freeway shooter about 20 miles east of Kalamazoo around Battle Creek Michigan. To my knowledge that shooter was never caught. I wonder if there is any connection.

of course not...that would cut into their profits

but if I were a betting man I would bet that he was working 2 or more jobs trying to raise a family in a state that taxes you to death unless your rich, has the highest insurance in the country and some of the lowest wages. The meth epidemic in MI is exploding, people are either self medicating or going postal. I think we will see more and more of these mental breakdowns in our gun toting, fascist state, it is an epidemic.

and expect from some middle aged guy that may have lost his long term position and used up his retirement savings to survive and went postal went life just sucked so bad, he had to become an Uber driver.
welcome to DU

or a bad guy with a gun?
