An earlier story said he had tied a rope around a streetlight pole, and the other end of the rope to his throat, and gunned the car forward, tearing his head off.
What possible difference did it make what color the cab was? Reporter paid by the word?
I think I got PTSD just reading his description. !
“So when someone is referred to as a black cab driver, it doesn’t refer to his race.”
I appreciate your being helpful but I was making a joke... I know you don’t capitalize the word Black if you’re talking about the color black unless, of course it’s at the beginning of a sentence or maybe if you’re describing 1/2 of the President’s heritage.
The background is good to know, though.
It isn’t a reference to the actual color the cab was painted. It’s a type of hackney
that’s referred to as a “black cab” even if the actual color isn’t black.
You’re way too paranoid.
Full moon — police coverup — his hair was perfect — Werewolf in London!
i’ll have to look that one up.
“What possible difference did it make what color the cab was? Reporter paid by the word?”
Before someone loads you up with too much information, it’s a particular cab company. Kind of like Yellow Cab in the U.S. Or Black President.
(And no... that’s not a racist remark)
Well, you tie one end of the rope to a tree and the other around your neck and drive off.
I missed that he was in the back seat though or was
that the police who were slumped.
LOL...now THAT made me laugh!
Reading it again it seems he was in the front seat.
Another scenario would be to drive into some thing at
just windscreen height...
Any way, it beats using a chainsaw, which has
happened several times.
He could have at least got out of the car and not got blood all over it!!
rotfl.
Anyway, this article just shows that if someone really wants to commit suicide, they’re probably going to find a way.
All it takes is a sturdy rope around the neck, a lamppost, and a car traveling at 40+ miles per hour.
Last I checked, neither cars, nor ropes, nor lampposts were very difficult to come by.
Or just a rope and a tree limb.
Or just a car and a closed garage door.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, just a cab driver.
My favorite was the Fort Marcy Park ‘suicide’ where Foster shot himself int he head with two different caliber guns, small caliber behind the right ear and .38 special through the mouth.
Cool!
You have to be really committed to committing suicide by hacking your own head off.
Which way was he ‘headed’ when this happened?
