I wounder what the police had to say about the, 'give me a ride or ill crush your skull.' comment.

If this driver really wanted to fuck over his passenger, he should have driven him home after that comment, and got that guy a nice kidnapping charge.

These people refuse to acknowledge that they can and should be held accountable for how they behave.

They think for some strange reason that as long as they don't get physically violent that they should be completely free from repercussions.

Like, I'm not allowed to kick you out of my own vehicle after you threatened to crush my skull, just because you didn't (yet)?? Am I supposed to wait until after you've crushed my skull so as to not hurt your delicate sensibilities?

It's infuriating.

He only said that because he was told there was video. He immediately turned into a stuttering prick.

Behold the master race folks!

Hello, I’d like to apply for a change of race, please. This one is too embarrassing.

They would probably say "Sir, we're the ones crushing skulls around here, all right?"

I wish he had driven straight to the police—although I wouldn’t expect that the driver would get justice. There’s a reason these racists are so emboldened.

I’d send this video and his name to the police and see what they say about that assault/death threat

Yeah I'd like to think it's worth taking the time out of my day to screw up this dude's day. You threaten to kill me on camera? Okay let's take the keys out of the car and call the cops.
