I would also shoot him, but this was in NYC rather than the Gulf South...


True. Probably better running him over.

How's this even a question?

The line in charge will say the driver should have and could have turned hard to the right to avoid injuring the car jacker.

And now, the rest of the story...

quote:

On July 24, 2018, at around 1:30 p.m., a 24-year-old Uber driver was involved in a road rage incident on McGuinness Boulevard near Norman Avenue in Greenpoint. The suspect, Kevin McClean, 46, driving a white Hyundai with Florida plates, cut off the driver, sparking an argument.

Both men exited their vehicles at a red light, and McClean allegedly swung a box cutter at the Uber driver. Video footage captured McClean attacking the driver, who defended himself to avoid being cut.

McClean then stole the Uber driver’s car keys from the ignition and returned to his Hyundai. As the driver attempted to retrieve his keys, McClean accelerated, pinning him between the Hyundai and a parked van, dragging him briefly.




The guy driving the white car had cut him off, they got out of their cars, had words and then the guy with the white car pulled out a box cutter to try and cut the Uber driver up. He then was able to get into the Uber, steal the keys and what we end up seeing is the Uber driver trying to get his keys back.

frick car-jackers and frick "Right Angle News Network" for posting this as being an attempted carjacking.

You're telling me TD fell for a misrepresented Twitter post? No way!

Should probably let you know that it wasn't a car jacker at all...

Upon further review, the ruling on the field appears to have been in error.

Seriously, thanks for sharing the rest of the story.

MSM reporting it as a hit and run most likely.

This was not a carjacking. The video shows a New York man threatening to slash an Uber driver with a box cutter and slamming him against another vehicle during a road rage incident that occurred in July 2018.




ETA: terribly worded
