Regardless of the driver illegal status, I can't stop laughing at how the male Karen gets knocked the fuck out while holding his poodle and the woman's 3000ms ping lag reaction.

South Carolina CEO as he held his service dog,

Yeah fuck no, that ain't no fucking service dog. I hate those fucking people.

I wonder how this rich white dude votes.

Yeah maybe you can get away with calling it one of those dogs meant to calm a person usually highly autistic with panic attacks but service dogs? They're usually german shepherd's or labradors, dogs that are big enough to move objects or the owner when required.

Yeah the fact he pulled that card makes me think that dude is your typical hipster lefty.

I believe that is called an Emotional Support Animal.

And like most things in this faggy world, they took something very important for helping Vets and others with serious PTSD issues and turned it into "my anxiety is like sooooo bad, I need this."

90% of Emotional Support Animals are just an excuse for an annoying woman to be allowed to bring her dog into your business.

Seriously. Karen gets to bring her Chihuahua to terrorize me, but apparently the state has an issue with my emotional support Alligator.

Coincidentally, the emotional support gator is a great solution to dealing with obnoxious support animals.

Yeah forgot the name for it, I only remember service dogs after seing all the amazing videos of them in action.

His own reaction time isn't exactly much better, between headbut and hook there was zero reaction to defend himself, just a "whiuuu" expression and being a nice stationary target.

But a guy who pays thousands in legal fees/bribes to get a certificate that says he gets to carry a poodle everywhere for mental health reasons is practically a woman anyway.

That was a good combo tho. It dont think you can reach to that, specially carrying a poddle.

Not like there's a guaranteed chance to protect yourself against a good combo, but he didn't even try to do anything, the other hand just stays hanging loose. Crazy to let someone get that close and not be prepared to do anything.

That feel when your holy book tells you you should have pet people to follow your whims and the best you can do is a golden doodle and a concussion.

First thing I noticed. Service dogs aren't dogs you pick up and carry. This dude is a Nancy and likely got what he deserved. I feel bad for the dog having to suffer the owner.

There's a lot going on here, LOL.

Don't let someone acting aggressively get that close to you, wow. The headbutt is hilarious though.

Charleston-based CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, canceled a ride home from a French restaurant, Maison, in April because the driver refused to take his service dog, Kobel told The Post on Thursday.

If that's what the fight was about, thanks, I hate it. Even when the customer is a bitch, that comes with the territory, and you don't get to assault them. You're not owed their business.

“The next thing I know, I’m waking up in a hospital bed with seven staples in my head and four stitches,” Kobel said.

If true...yeah, that's not fucking good.

In the weeks that followed, Kobel struggled to remember words and stumbled over phrases due to his brain injury.

Brutal, hope it's not permanent. Sounds like it's at least improving, or maybe even completely better, though.


and soon learned from cops the driver had gotten the Uber job with a fake license, he said...

“Uber has to take more accountability for its drivers,” he said...

Kobel is now suing Uber for unspecified financial damage — but his ultimate goal is to get the company to better protect its riders, he said.

“Uber hides behind a thin veil of legalese to protect their riders,” he said. “Frankly, it’s fake.”

“The company needs to make substantial changes on how it protects riders,” he said.

While I'm completely in favor of stopping companies from hiring illegals, given all the other shit that's going on - especially the online ID nonsense - I'm rather suspicious of all these pushes against companies that are intended to bring them under further control of consolidated powers.

Illegals need to go, and companies need to be held accountable, but it needs to be done in such a way that doesn't strip people (or even companies) of certain rights and freedoms.

I do worry about some of the directions that things seem to be being pushed at the moment. Seems like no matter what the issue is, the answer is more top-down control. That has always been the case - of course the government likes more government power - but it seems to have ramped up in a big way recently.

It seems like our overlords are intent on turning us into China, and that's rather worrying.

Taxi drivers have to present valid licenses, why should Uber be exempt just because they have an app?

Taxi drivers have been pulling the same scam with medallions for years.

Did I say they shouldn't?

I'm just worried about implementation, because the government so often manages to make everything even worse.

Not to mention harder to compete. Not that anyone would be able to anyway, but any regulation is just going to further cement the existing companies' control over the sector. Because that's always how it goes.

Illegal Uber driving a relatively new Audi SUV. Interesting.

Can we do a Early life check on Kobel?

Was there a good source for this? Every time it’s brought up it gets hand waved away saying it’s not true by an overload of (probably BS) MSM articles saying it’s misinformation and “nooo they don’t get $2200 a month, they just get X,Y,Z”

All I see is an entitled feminized asshole holding a lap dog and a cell phone getting set right by a driver who didn't put up with his "I'm a CEO" bullshit.

Dickhead wanted special treatment to get his lapdogs hair all over someone's working vehicle, forcing them to spend more cleaning it than the ride probably cost, likely didn't specify he had a dog when he made the ride request, thus wasting his gas.

This guy deserved it.

I guess sometimes illegals really are doing useful work American's won't do.

PS: Love how the dog gives no shits that his owner was punched.

I think we can all imagine the sort of life this CEO lives. Lives in a deep blue information bubble, only has friends who think like he does, lives in an area surrounded by people just like him. We can all go down the list.

Such people are always surprised when real life intrudes.

She was not in possession of her "Congnitive Enhancement Animal", so she was struggling to process.
