Hopefully Uber re-evaluates, but probably won't

The only thing they'll re-evaluate is his employment.

The regressive fricks at Uber will fire him if they haven't already.

This is pretty standard with any large company. They're trying to limit their liability. That being said, I'm glad he was able to defend himself.

The driver said he then got out of the car and fired a gun at the two men, hitting one of them.


He could be in trouble depending on exactly how this went down. Which is a shame, because both car jackers deserve to be dead.

If they identify this man, I will use his services in the future and we can cut Uber out of the action.

Which is why he should not say a word until he speaks to an Attorney.
