A Florida tourist died Tuesday, two days after he reportedly was punched in the face by a driver he may have mistaken for an Uber driver in New York City.

Sander Szabo, 35, died at the hospital two days after the driver of an SUV delivered a blow to the Florida native’s face, causing Szabo to fall back and slam his head into the pavement, police told the Palm Beach Post on Wednesday. Szabo was in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens returning to his hotel just after 1 a.m. Sunday when he was hit.

“When he was hit, he was struck so hard in the face," Szabo’s brother, Dominic, told the New York Daily News on Monday. “He hit his head on the asphalt. That’s what caused the brain injury.”

A good reason to take a cab instead of Uber.

Uber is great. Just always make sure you check the driver’s face.

Maybe the innocent white guy could have protected himself, if he had had THIS: Fakebook and Disqus ALSO BANNED THIS: It is worth noting that Fakebook CENSORS any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden knowledge”. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!

Odd - the same thing happened about a month ago. A 30 something from DC, restaurant manager with a wife and baby, went to a bud’s wedding in Atlanta at a Buckhead country club on a Saturday nite in July. At midnite he and his brother called a Uber which was to pick them up at the gates; they waited, saw a black car which they thought was the Uber but it turned out to be two young thugs let out of prison early buy some hag white liberal judge. They were robbed of their wallets and the guy from DC decided to chase after them to get his license back. They shot and killed him, also as here, in front of his brother.

The driver, described as a man with a bald head

The MSM reporting on inconvenient facts like race always remind me of the Simpsons Chief Wiggam: "Ummm. The suspect is hatless. Repeat - the subject was hatless."

A co-worker of mine who is black and I have been noting this trend with newspapers for many years. If they don’t say the race in the description, then that means the suspect is black EVERY SINGLE TIME!

What a joke our country has become!

One time I double parked because I had to do something with my gps thingie. As I was fidling with it, I looked up and saw a guy walking up to my car from the sidewalk. Uh-oh I said to myself. When he was about three feet away, a car drives up behind me. The guy saw that car and walked towards it.
Yup, he thought I was a Uber.

I thought that riders were given an advance description of the vehicle.

The early story before the video was released had this description:

Police said the attacker fled the scene in a white SUV. Authorities describe the suspect as a man wearing jeans and a light-colored long-sleeved shirt.

It was a man.

It was a “man”? In our gender neutral country, that is focusing on an irrelevant aspect; he should have been described as a human, unless like the Green Party candidate in Ohio, he thought he was born a space alien.

And apparently the tourist slugged someone else before getting slugged by the coach.., according to witnesses.

From what I read the tourist was VERY drunk and disruptive——looking for trouble.

“A co-worker of mine who is black and I have been noting this trend with newspapers for many years. If they don’t say the race in the description, then that means the suspect is black EVERY SINGLE TIME!”

I was in Seattle a while back and there was a manhunt on about one block from the house that I was staying in. They didn’t describe the guy’s skin color, so I figured the same - you know, to prevent stereotyping of the minority community.

I was watching for the guy and ready to call the cops. The caught him and he wound up being a white guy. Had I seen him, I would have given him a pass, figuring that I was looking for a black guy.

This PC censorship is REALLY STUPID and will COST LIVES...but that’s what happens when ‘they’ get to run the media.

...including the plate. REALLY STUPID to not use the information you’re given.
