Uber shooting on I-25

[MrPrena]

The driver (Hancock) can probably use whatever x legal limit or influence/intoxication, but pax wasn't driving or operating motors.

Does driver have any bruises or scratches?

This whole case seems like them trying to make an example out of the driver.

I just got done using about 15 uber drivers in vegas for the last 5 days and have a hard time believing that an Uber driver would premeditate killing a passenger for no reason.

One of the recent posted links says there was a gun shot to the side of his back and saying that's "problematic". I just don't see that when you have a moving attacker. I'm wondering if its because he fired ten shots and hit him 6 times? I guess only the police get to dump mags into suspects and not citizens?

Hrm. Prosecutorial overreach? Think they swung too far and will result in a not guilty?

You called it.

Lovely...

Corboy & Demetrio, the attorney that represents the family of Kim, said they plan to file a wrongful death lawsuit against Uber.

"The fact remains that the shooting could have been prevented if Uber had enforced one of its cardinal rules: Drivers are not allowed to have a gun in the car,? said Corboy & Demetrio Partner Francis Patrick Murphy. ?Hancock routinely violated this rule and Uber failed to enforce its policy."

So the victim should have been unarmed and the perp's assault gone unimpeded?

That's the agenda. Take away the guns, the knives, the fists, the fingernails, any means of self-defense. Create full dependency on the governmental authorities.

I am tempted to call and give an earful to the Chicago based office of Corboy and Demetrio.

Prosecutors told jurors that the evidence didn't back up Hancock's self-defense claim, including that he didn't suffer any serious injuries. They also pointed out that Hancock admitted to putting his knife in Kim's hands after shooting him.

What the hell..

re knife: Probably a momentary freak out based on the idea of needing to prove to others the reality of the self-defense situation in which he had very recently found himself, and then a realization of the stupidity of that being found out.

That would be my guess on this. The fact that he didn?t go thru with it I think even more points that it was a legit shoot.

10 rounds sounds extreme, but, was the other party armed?

10 rounds fired sounds restrained to me.

Why does 10 rounds sound extreme? I think we've all seen videos of drugged up bad guys taking a full magazine because they didn't know they were dead. Do you stop firing even when the danger persists and you still have ammunition just because the total shots fired "sounds extreme"?
