Mr. Wexler needs to learn four words that the non victim mentality uses to deal with obnoxious people. Does he really think that his was the first time this driver emptied his spleen? Is he the only person in the world who has ever listened to an ignorant rant?

So he met a jerk, big deal, the world is full of them. Now he's shaking in his shoes because a taxi driver knows where he lives. This guy needs to grow a set of cahones.

He also needs to stop being a wimp and tell people like that to - "STFU."

I think the taxi driver is much more than just a simple jerk. When he said, "Maybe I am just going to now crash this car and kill both of us," well, the words say it all. Yes, the author is a Jewish liberal who keeps voting for the party which screws his people, but maybe experiences like this will help him learn someday.

If I had been the passenger in that taxi, I would take those threats very seriously. I wouldn't be "shaking in my shoes," but knowing that the taxi driver could end up not being charged, or being released on bail...well, I feel a lot safer with at least one gun in the drawer next to the bed, rather than having them all locked up in the safe. No shoe-shaking, just suitable precautions.
