Some Seattle area rideshare drivers plan to strike Wednesday over safety demands (for rapists)

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.

I'm totally okay with the rape victim's family beating the crap out of the rapist caught in the act.

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.

Islam states infidel women are nothing but pigs and dogs that need to be raped. It’s their culture.

Diversity is our greatest strength.

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.

Even if it’s Judge Engoron’s version of rape?

Sounds like common sense - Uber and Lyft should both provide dashcams with live streaming to company storage for their drivers. This would eliminate the "he said she said" crap in case a ride goes wrong.

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.

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

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.
