A video has been making rounds today that, if not in substance, in essence captures the character of the “leaders and best” very nicely.

The video shows a group of beta male students accosting an Uber driver after he (presumably) canceled their ride for their bad behavior. The leader of the group, showing signs of early male pattern baldness and wearing clothing indicative of a rich daddy, had some rather unlettered words for the driver: “Minimum wage ****.”


Full Video

quote:


UPDATE: The driver of the Uber posted in the YouTube comments that this was not the first time this has occurred.

“This is 4th time that I have been harassed by this rider and his friends. Nov. Dec. and twice in March. I told him on 3rd occasion that I requested Uber to banned him but he is/was using friends accounts. Told him and his friends that I will not take them and that he/they need to get out of my car….. For that I was falsely accused, called names etc. 4th time… Rider knew from Uber application who is the driver. He had option to cancel to avoid any issues but he/they proceeded to abuse, harrase, belittle and provoke like kindergarten thugs.”


This sort of reminds me of the drunk doctor in Miami who trashed her uber drivers car (Granted, that situation was way worse). Reddit has even made a website about this dude LINK

Jake is fricked. As much of a douche as that guy is, this internet lynching makes me a bit uneasy at times.

Of course Reddit calls them beta males. Can't just report the story, have to insert name-calling into it

You have to imagine that he went "oh shite" when this popped up on Youtube.

Sounds like the internet Lynch mob is getting fired up again.

Incidents like this make me think of the Miami Doctor incident, and once again, I don't understand the busy bodies that feel the need to enact their own justice on whoever they deem worthy. They're just as guilty as the douches on film they denigrate.
