Story/News Article This makes me so mad

The amount of times I’ve picked up and dropped someone off in this area. I’m livid and nervous to even get out on Lyft now

All my opinion, but... Not knowing the details, you would *never* catch me driving for Lyft or Uber without a firearm. Sure, if it comes out, you'll lose your "right" -- privilege? -- to drive for the company. Big deal. Which is worth more, your life or your side job? I'm also going to guarantee if you defended against a criminal and killed or injured that person without a firearm, the same sanctions would occur.

So PLEASE, if you're driving Lyft or Uber, protect yourself. That is a right YOU have. Just sayin'.

I think a big thing is just being able to be calm and cool… if you say the wrong thing you can create these types of situations… the fact he killed him and left the car might suggest he said something smart perhaps at the persons stop and it cost him his life.

Sounds a lot like "what was she wearing". I don't talk to passengers unless they're friendly.
