Well, Gary, it sounds like it's time for you and your wife to buy his 'n' hers guns and learn how to use them. Then you won't have to worry about complicated moral dilemmas; you can just report this psycho without being concerned that he's going to hurt either one of you.

I am safe on the plane now.

Boy is this guy an optimist!

He should file a complaint with the man's company AND with the police because there was a violent threat. At least then he can get a restraining order against the man.

And the gun another poster suggested would not be a bad bit of protection.

The man is a discredit to the service industry. No mention was made if he stiffed his driver or if he still tipped him for the disservice.

Jamaicans are so stoned it is laughable, as is anything they have to say about politics. Rasta man needs a spliff!

Even a wealthy man is not safe from crazies. I thought it imprudent of him to identify himself as a Jew to a total stranger. Things are changing for Jews - and not for the better around the world.

I'd say report him, call the police, and buy a security system if one isn't owned, and a BIG gun. This kind of thing turns my stomach. I have been blessed to know 3 people of the Jewish faith in my life. One, a Jeweler. My Dad was fresh out of the Marines, no job, no place to stay when he met my Mother. He knew she was the only woman for him. The Jeweler never having laid eyes on my father before took my Grandmothers word that he was a decent and honest man, and let him open an account so he could put my Mothers Wedding Ring on layaway. We still do business 40 something years later with him and his Family. The second, a lovely Lady who could cook like you wouldn't believe. Lord how I miss her Shrimp Salad. The third, one of the best friends I ever had. I could pick up the phone right now and say "I need..." and they'd be there. The nutcase driver has no idea about the people he spews such vitriol about over their faith. God help us all.

asked if he was Rastafarian. He said he was

Dude desperately needs to spark a ganja spiff and listen to Marley.

[Mr. Mojo]

I drew my Jewish political lines around who saw the world as victims and those who saw the world as accepting. Victims were right wing.

Boy is this guy confused...

"Don't you worry about me. Worry about what you do in the world. You make my life miserable. I don't care if I die. Maybe I'm a terrorist, like my Palestinian and Arab brothers whose lives you have destroyed. Maybe I am just going to now crash this car and kill both of us."

I would have gone into the airport and called the cops. I would be d@mned if some rasti was going to terrorize me on my ride to the airport. He needs to be fired and deported. Too bad you didn't have scissors and didn't cut off his dreadlocks. What a scummer of a driver. He needs to go back to his country.

[Danae]

I would at the very very least report it to the company he works for. The nature of his abuse is obvious, this is a person I am CERTAIN no customer service related company would EVER want working for them.

[I see my hands]

"I don't care if I die. Maybe I'm a terrorist, like my Palestinian and Arab brothers whose lives you have destroyed. Maybe I am just going to now crash this car and kill both of us"

Almost all cell phones are voice recorders at the touch of an external button.

Calling his boss or the cops is not nearly as effective as turning over a recording to the FBI.

W said be vigilant.

Gary, maybe if you STOPPED SUPPORTING the DEMOCRATS things would change for the better, eh?


You supported Howard Dean & Russell Feingold!

Here's the proof:

The author should contact the driver thru the cab company and give him a chance to apologize. If that isn't forthcoming, drop a ton of bricks -- get his chauffer's license pulled; get him fired; file a police complaint; sue the cab company.

[Sherman Logan]

recently fired publisher Judith Regan, who was going to publish the O.J. Simpson book

Obviously no possible reason for her firing other than anti-semitism.

[sig226]

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."

[miss marmelstein]

...or why I never talk to taxi drivers.

[montag813]

If I report him, are we in danger? If I don't, is someone else? How safe are we in the world today?

Of course he must report this madman to the LAPD immediately. He should have told the nearest cop at the airport.

[montag813]

Maybe I'm a terrorist, like my Palestinian and Arab brothers whose lives you have destroyed.

Does this cretan have any understanding that his Arab "brothers" are the reason tens of millions of blacks were slaves?

[DouglasKC]

There was a special on PBS last night about antisemitism throughout the ages. I happened to only be able to glance at a little bit of it, but wow....eye opening. Jews have been hated by everyone, including vehemently by Christians from about 70 AD on. In the 12th century, Jews were accused of kidnapping Christian children, killing them and draining their blood to be used in Matzo's. Today the Arab world accuses Jews of the same thing and Islamic television systematically and routinely broadcasts antisemitic propaganda.

It was very eye opening to see the way that Arab leaders openly accuse Jews of being in league with the devil and with being behind all of the worlds problems.

If this continues, there will be a time (again) when anyone who practices anything that remotely resembles "Jewish" religious practices will be persecuted the same as Jews for their faith.
