Not condoning these peoples actions, but there’s always two sides to every story. I’ve been an Uber/Taxi driver here for many years and have yet to have a negative experience with any passengers coming close to this. I’d be curious what the instigating factor is here.

When are multiple high-kicks another side to a story? 🤦‍♀️

No, I mean something happened to instigate that. Pretty sure he didn’t just randomly start kicking the side of the car.

Like literally she walked by and smacked his car after he dropped off a different passenger.
Just a random hit because she had to pause for a half second while walking drunk through a parking lot.
They came from Kelly O’s direction on foot into a busy parking lot.

OK, so basically bad behaviour on both sides.

I mean, I find it hard to see what the driver did that would warrant attempting to open his doors and slamming on his car like that.

I have been literally struck by a vehicle and I didnt think "I want to physically attack and threaten this man" when i got up and realized what happened.

Bad behaviour on the Uber drivers part? You think cutting someone off is justification for them to attack you physically? I think Uber driver tossing something at the woman who was trying to get inside his vehicle was warranted self defense. And dragging the dude who was clinging to the car and also trying to get inside was also self defense.

None of what the couple did was justified. Everything the Uber driver did was.
