“Sewanou Bisile Yoro?

Yes, and any woman who would get in a car with an African bastard like this guy needs to have a gun in her purse, or try some other means of transportation.

I was thinking Nigerian, but Kenyan certainly possible. Looks too fat to be a Somali, not that they don’t gain weight over here.

This isn’t the first time they’ve dispatched a rapist.

Uber is strongly opposed to requiring proper background checks.

The same way gun manufacturers need to be sued when someone murders someone with a gun? Or automobile manufacturers when someone is killed by a drunk driver?

Sorry - I disagree - we should punish the perpetrators, not make lawyers rich.

“In the same way that newspapers needed to be sued everytime someone was assaulted by someone whose classified advertisement they had answered.”

there’s a BIG difference here: newspapers/craigslist make no representation that they’ve vetted those who place ads; Uber does represent that they’ve vetted their drivers.

Uber drivers are not employees, they’re independent contractors. So are most cabbies.

What checks are they avoiding which would make their background checks more useful?

"The same way gun manufacturers need to be sued when someone murders someone with a gun? Or automobile manufacturers when someone is killed by a drunk driver?"

Seemed clear that speedy was talking about companies who's employee's commit crimes while on the job.

A customer that murders someone with a gun who is not an employee of that gun manufacturer is an entirely different scenario.

At least with a taxi, there are cameras and license numbers, etc.

I don't know about where you are, but there aren't cameras in taxis anywhere I've been. And with Uber and Lift the they know who the drivers are, and the passengers (they have to have a credit card on file). Unlike a taxi you get the driver's name and picture before he arrives. The truth is it's far more likely for the driver to be assaulted and robbed than the passenger in either venue. And since all the passengers are registered with credit cards it's much safer for the drivers than picking up anyone with a phone or flags off the street.

I guess you agree with Uber that it is unjust to discriminate against foreign rapists.
