Trigger warning for those of us who donât like seeing video of people being beaten up for real?
Truth and Justice, the American Way.
He thinks the media reaction has been bad so far? He really should google âThe Streisand Effectâ.
Boys, fire up the meme-machines!
Remember what his statement through his lawyer said?
âMr. Golden accepts full responsibility for his actions and understands the consequences that may occur as a result,â the letter read.
Yeah. So about thatâŚ
Call me crazy but maybe he should of thought about that BEFORE beating up an uber driver??
Also when I see Uber Drivers I think âThey totally have 5 million lying aroundâ
Douchebro Golden boy needs to be sterilized ASAP.
I mean, godDAMN is it awesome to be rich in this country. SO AWESOME! Beat a plebe? Sue him for knuckle damage. Fired from your overpaid fake job? File a Disability claim! Donât want to pay taxes? Find one of those advocacy group âcharitiesâ that lobbies for lower taxes, and use them to write off taxes until there are no more taxes.
Itâs the fucking best!
Seconded. Thats absurdly violent and disturbingâŚ
I am reminded of the character in Neal Stephensonâs book Snow Crash who has âPoor Impulse Controlâ tattooed on his forehead.
Has Golden considered a career in law enforcement? This lawsuit seems oddly similar to the reports of cops charging people with assault for daring to hit the copâs fist with their face.
Fortunately, Golden lacks the nuclear motorcycle sidecar.
Thatâs aâŚreally dickish response. You should be ashamed of yourself.
As a result of the overwhelming media coverage, Golden says he suffered severe emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety and the loss of his job.
Good.
That is all.
Misdemeanor assault and battery? The little piece of the video looks like the passenger is attempting to slam the driverâs head through the side window. Whereâs the line between misdemeanor and felony in terms of assault & battery?
Fortunately, Golden lacks the nuclear motorcycle sidecar
Donât be too sure about that. As of 2 years ago, headline:
Taco Bell Is Going Thermo-Nuclear in Its Breakfast War With McDonaldâs
Douchebaggery aside, it is an interesting question: Does someone driving in a California taxi with a camera hanging from the mirror have an expectation of privacy? In the past, before lightweight cheap DVR cameras, he might have had such an expectation. Iâd argue that today not so much, but I doubt there is court precedent yet.
This affects me because I have a front facing webcam in my car which records audio, so it captures the conversations of whoever is in my private car.
