Apparently the rear window was either down or blown out. Driver (Uber or lyft looks like) might have gotten out and popped the passenger. TV people were Over here trying to get details, cops aren’t talking but no arrest of the driver. Probably some crackhead. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Jan

From the movies I've watched, the passenger can easily attempt to strangle the driver - hence the need for the driver to be prepared to defend himself. On Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 10:55 AM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > So I guess the passenger was carrying some

Depends on which seat the passenger is in. If he's sitting behind the driver you shoot right through the seat. Otherwise you'd have to lean around, its awkward no matter what.First 38 seconds... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33MV7fvdhxI -Curt On Thursday, January 23, 2020, 11:43:44 AM

Easy. Criminal in back seat brandishes a weapon and demands some property which belongs to the driver. Any action the driver takes can be justified as self defense. If the criminal actually uses force, the driver's response is also self defense. For instance, criminal puts a knife to driver's
