It’s not a safe job
A mother was killed by 2 “YOUTHS”
This nation is unlivable
Very disturbing
it wasnt an assassination it was murder........
Some may call it an insurrection.
I used to live in Vegas and it was quite common for cabbies to get killed .......sometimes in the most vicious manner aka the perp in one case threw gas on a cabbie from a big drink cup he was holding and set the cabbie on fire...he spent a few days undergoing horrific suffering before he gave up the ghost...a decent chinese family man.
Everyone wanted the perp executed except the prosecution....their excuse they did not want the perp's son to be deprived of his father.....unbelievable--but unfortunately they prevailed.
I've lived in Vegas for eight years and I can't recall one time that a cabbie has been killed since I've lived here. I'm sure it's happened in the past, but it's not even close to being "quite common" as you claim. You and the OP both sound like my 70 year old mother.
I've lived here for 30 years. There was only a 2 year rash of them just before 2008.
I drove a cab in vegas for several years so I think I know a little more about it than you.
I well remember all the gruesome photos showed to us by the L.V. taxi cab authority whilst in training.
I knew the chinese cabbie that was burnt to death.
We both worked for Nellis Cab co.
Lots of violence towards cabbies was never even reported by the media stabbings, physical violence etc.
Any job where you handle money and deal with the public is dangerous.
