Many Seattle-area rideshare drivers plan to shut down their services Wednesday because they say safety demands aren’t being met.
This comes after investigators say a driver was assaulted in a case where’s he’s been charged with kidnapping and raping a woman. The Seattle Rideshare Drivers Association is demanding a "fair and just trial."
On top of shutting down operations, the drivers will protest starting at a Tukwila mosque and end at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The SRDA is a group that advocates for gig workers in the area.
Thurston County investigators claim driver Ahmed Hassan Ali, 58, marked a woman’s ride as “complete” after he took her to an unincorporated area and raped her on June 15. Ali allegedly picked up the intoxicated woman from a bar in Olympia, according to charging papers.
After the alleged victim did not come home, her family tracked her location and tracked down Ali, and the family said they found her unclothed in the backseat of his car. That’s when investigators said family members assaulted Ali, and the father fired a gun, but no one was shot.
In his first court appearance. Ali's face was visibly bruised.
Ali is being charged with second-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping.
Now, the SRDA is demanding a more thorough investigation and said it's concerned about the portrayal of events. It's also demanding legislation be passed that puts a dashcam to record interactions between drivers and riders, as well as a panic button for both.
The investigation is ongoing.
In response to the incident, Uber said it will help law enforcement with the investigation.
Ali will not be able to work as a rideshare driver while the case against him moves forward.
No Uber strike necessary!
Pluswhich, the mosque can protest all it wants; just because mohammed was a rapist doesn't mean rape is unconsequential in Western Civilization.
The rapist “Ali will not be able to work as a rideshare driver while the case against him moves forward.”
The poor dear!
Islam states infidel women are nothing but pigs and dogs that need to be raped. It’s their culture.
Diversity is our greatest strength.
damn shame the dad did not shoot him.
At least he didn’t have time to go full ham ass and shoot her in the vagina afterwards.
Rape should get the rapist the death penalty, which should be allowed to be administered by the victim or anyone else.
The idea of hiring someone in government to administer justice best left to others to do for free is just another example of government waste.
In fact, I can see setting up an government auction for the privilege of killing a rapist, with all proceeds going to the victim.
They want a Muslim rapist prosecuted? Where do they think they are? Texas?
>Rape should get the rapist the death penalty, <
Even if it’s Judge Engoron’s version of rape?
EC
Too bad Achmed Hassan Ali, 58, didn’t do that himself before he was beaten by the rape victim’s family.
“Pluswhich”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that word used before, thank you!
It’s my own invention, I think. But it SHOULD be a word.
I did a search on it, that word is in the “Urban Dictionary.”
There were states where rape and kidnapping were punishable by death
Pretty much every state repealed the death penalty because people who kidnapped and raped women were murdering them afterwards to avoid being identified and getting the death penalty
He had to get to his next pickup at SeaTac
What does “plus which” mean?
It just means to add to a discussion, similar to words/phrases like furthermore, however, in addition e.t.c.
