    My Uber driver was listening to anti America radio when he picked me up

    As the title says…Tonight I got an Uber driver that was listening to basically anti Americans by terrible translation (mine). The fbi website says call 91 do you guy have anywhere to report this I’m a red blooded American and this bothers me to the core. No joke, no bs, I can’t report people for their beliefs but this wasn’t right. I asked him, what were you listening to, he said oh just an audio book. Zero chance that’s what it was

    Was it real radio or a podcast?

    They probably won't take action if he was just listening to anti-American stuff. There's no crime in that.

    Vote to reelect Joseph 'Honest Joe' McCarthy!!!

    Wait. Wrong century.

    I think it would have to depend on the specific content of the messaging; if there was some sort of advocacy towards committing imminent violence, then it likely wouldn't be protected speech.

    No, that's wrong. It should be 4 stars unless he was rude, a bad driver and had a dirty car. Riders giving these drivers a 1 star for one issue is wrong and not fair to the driver. Just this morning I had a passenger who didn't say thanks at the end of the ride and opened the door before the car came to a stop. He got 3 stars. You can't deduct multiple stars for one issue as they each represent something. If the guy was a good driver and had a clean car he should still get 4 stars even if he's spewing radio hate.

    That isn’t even the snowflake on the iceberg. Biden has opened our country for terrorists from around the world.

    Be very aware of your surroundings.
    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

    The little bit a heard was basically get rid of Americans. For reference, I tipped him a small amount and still gave him 5 stars, because the ride was fine.

    Oh well just move on with life. I know there’s an internet radio show that’s anti America. It was probably that,

    Why I actually pay attention to this stuff. My mom’s friend Eddie was a devout Muslim, I got 4 brothers and we all use to joke about him being part of isis and shit. Turned out, he was, he got arrested for trying to send them phones, money and equipment. I’ll look for the news article real quick

    If your being serious and not making a joke. report his ass to Uber and state they made you feel very unsafe and expound as much as you can. If theres been other complaints they could be tossed from the platform. Uber and Lyft will bend over backwards for passengers complaints usually hell I know folks whove been deactivated for BS reasons even if it was temporary like accusations of being drunk or high. So if youre legit serious file a complaint with uber and go from there. At minimum the driver will likely get a slap on the wrist over the complaint and oh yeah they cant go back and change your rating even if they knew who did it.

    In truth I dont know if you aware but unlike with Lyft if you dont rate somebody be it passenger or driver as 1 star you can end up with them again on Uber. Lyft will unmatch permanently at a 3 rating by either party

    It was not a troll, I read the FBI site thatÂ’s why I posted here. Despite the jokes and shit you guys generally have good information. HereÂ’s my dilemma. If I am wrong, which I dont think I am but if I am, itÂ’s not fair to a guy making an honest living.

    You should have personally confronted them and explained your grievances

    If you couldn’t work things out quickly, you should have physically attacked them to establish dominance

    So he wasn’t a Zionist? But considered himself to be living in occupied Zion?

    You must be a young one if this was your moms friend. He’s only 42 now. You’re young enough to join the Marines

    You need to taper off the meds, you can't just quit cold turkey.
    Choose one
    A. Stay on em
    B. Taper off
