That’s pretty fucked up behaviour and this isn’t the first time someone has assaulted an over driver.

This is also why traditional cabs had bulletproof glass separating the back...
Remember when that lady thought she was being kidnapped by her Uber driver and shot him the head? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Holy crap this is crazy. Any update on her?
Edit: Trial set for Aug 30 this year
Willing to bet that it's because she thinks he's a scary muslim terrorist...
In the longer version you can see she's acting normal then spaces out for a second then this, then spaces out again. She can't hear her friend shouting at her.
We can guess at what reason there was, if any, but this wasn't a thinking decision.
Link? I cant find any video that starts before she sprays him
Even then, there's a reason she became agitated and felt threatened by the driver.
Racism usually doesn't take much thinking. It's a feeling.
I don't think you've understood me. She doesn't exhibit any reasoning at all. She's shouting "get him out", but even in this trimmed video you can see she's trying to hold his arm and then climbs into the front seat facing away from him, her jaw jutting forward, almost certainly hallucinating. Then she climbs out of the car and then stands there frozen in a stupor. She's having some sort of psychotic event.
Nothing about her behaviour before or after this suggests anything the driver did (or anything about him in particular, race or otherwise) made her feel threatened. In fact very little about it suggests she feels threatened at all. Her two states are aggressive and catatonic. She doesn't cower, she doesn't scream at him, she doesn't accuse him of anything - there is no logic to the attack, whether motivated by a "feeling" or otherwise.
It is absolutely possible she's a racist. It requires a lot of assumptions to suggest the video - when not clipped for Tiktok - shows her being racist though.
Yes, this is end of night club drug hallucinating
I don't know of any hallucinogen powerful enough to cause this unless you took an insane amount
My first thought too. Guaranteed her parents are vile.
"Lawyer isn't commenting " lol well wtf could he possibly say? I'm defending a legit insane person, we'll see how it goes haha. Enjoy jail/ getting sued
Lsd easy
She made it out will all fingers intact? Shame.
If I can’t see I can still grab fingers and bend back further than they’re supposed to go.
