I'm shocked by this news . I mean, it's sickening to think about guys who have access to people's lives just to exploit them . The fact that four rideshare drivers were indicted for such heinous crimes is a huge step forward, but we need more awareness about how to prevent these situations in the first place .
It's not like these guys were just random strangers on the street - they were people who were trusted to get us from point A to B . The thought of them using their power for evil is just disturbing. And what's even worse is that some of these guys are still on the loose, which means more victims could be out there .
I'm glad the authorities are taking action and raising awareness about this issue, but we need to make sure people know how to stay safe when using rideshare services . It's not just about calling the police or reporting suspicious behavior - it's about being mindful of your surroundings and trusting your gut feeling .
I'm not buying that all these rideshare drivers were in on it together ... I mean, how many people would just blindly go along with kidnapping and assaulting passengers? It seems like a pretty convenient setup for law enforcement to crack down on this "issue" of rideshare abuse . And what's up with the FBI encouraging victims to report their experiences? That just sounds like a way for them to get more victims to come forward... doesn't that just encourage the perpetrators to keep doing it, knowing they'll be reported?
Wow - can't believe some people would use their jobs to harm others like that... it's so messed up! Interesting how authorities are stepping in and trying to raise awareness about this issue, hope more people come forward with info
5 times more likely to get assaulted while riding in a rideshare than driving alone - that's what recent data says! Anyway, these guys were just using their " jobs" to exploit people, and now they're getting what's coming to them... sorta. The US has a huge backlog of untested DNA evidence from past crimes, which is why we won't see these perpetrators behind bars anytime soon... According to FBI data, 70% of kidnappings in the US are committed by someone known to the victim. What's even more disturbing: 1 in 5 victims don't report their assaults because they're scared or embarrassed .
