Sorry for your loss, WZ. Way too young & a terrible way to go.

i knew as details emerged, it would get harder to read. this is just ridiculous. i really don't know what anyone could say to this family. it's so awful.

Sorry about your friend. Everyone on the news interviews all said what a nice guy he was.

What could uber have done to prevent this? Seems like a crazy 16 year bitch went nuts.

Just reading some of the details and timeline of the situation. I'm really sorry to hear about this entire situation and it must be difficult as a
friend of the guy to know how his last moments unfolded. I hope for the family's sake and those of his friends that swift justice is meted out
and there is some kind of explanation for this lunacy.

Probably not a lot. Apparently they have an age requirement of 18 for passengers but she managed to get through that (and obviously an 18+ yr old could have been just as crazy). The only other thing I can think of is that it was her 3rd consecutive Uber...maybe there could be an alert to Uber drivers that something might not be right with someone apparently going to random places in different cars in the wee hours of the morning.

thanks t-bone and PP.

that's my thought as well, jawbreaker. i really think that uber has a responsibility in some way. i don't know if the parents will go after them, they don't strike me as the type. but this was such an injustice, and the fact that she got away with stealing and 2 prior uber rides illegally should raise some awareness.

Going forward, I think, to start, Uber should issue each driver a partition of some sort that is fairly removable only from the driver's side.

Sounds like a good idea, but would they be able to do that with all the vehicles being different and specific to the driver?

_________________

My cousin/Uber driver just mentioned that. He implied he'd buy it on his own but we didn't discuss Uber's responsibility here. Gotta think they'd make the drivers pay for it themselves?

Putting one of those things in your own car would be ridiculous if you had to remove it on a frequent basis.

Uber wanted her, as a 16 year old, to continue to use the platform. Passengers never get deacted, when this bitch gets let out she'll be able to sign up and request rides no problem (assuming Uber is still in business...).

Not that it matters much at this point but has anyone asked why a 16 yr old girl was out at 3 fucking a.m. to begin with? Some world class parenting going on sounds like .

i want uber to be exposed for their negligence. i hope people get wise to it, because like i said i don't know what the parents will want to do legally. and i can't imagine the pain they're feeling.

as far as the girl's fate--she is the product of a single mom living in chicago. obviously can go out joyriding late into the night on a holiday weekend. she will most likely have theft, resisting arrest, grand theft auto (for stealing the car, and taking off)...probably driving without insurance, on top of first degree murder. she is being charged as an adult and has a public defender.

she should be going away for a long time. and i hope it's swift, so his family doesn't have to worry about that.

Just saw this guy's sister being interviewed.

Handling it well, but palpable disbelief. Awful.

I wasn't being a condescending prick, I was genuinely curious... I mean there are crazy fucks all over and that probability triples if you have to deal with the general public.. Just not sure how Uber could avoid this tragedy.
