A video from an Ann Arbor Uber driver getting berated by a college-aged person made the front page of Reddit this morning.

You just have to ask yourself anymore, "do I want this on video for the world to see?" Because cameras are everywhere and you must assume you're being recorded at all times.

this guy knew what he was doing and he didn't care.  This will come back to him this morning.

There's good and bad in every crowd.  Not a proud day for MIchigan.  As an alum, I saw this in school, I see this in life.  

Thank the cameras for callling this out.  That is the right response.

Good, now everyone knows. And while I generally dislike advocating violence, I hope one day soon he pulls this routine with someone who smacks the shit out of him and his friends. I know I would...

For those that want the video without the comments on Reddit.

Don't play this with the kids around. It's incredibly disturbing on many levels in so many unfunny ways.

Did you go to Michigan?  There have been east coast guys like this at Michigan for ages.  The parking lot of my apartment building when I went there was filled with plates from New York and New Jersey.  And some were just as entitled and jackassy as this guy.  

In fact, I think I remember reading somewhere that close to 10% of the student body is from NY or NJ.  So this is not a new Rutgers phenomenon.

Ya, I myself was severely disappointed to find so many of these douchebags in my classes (2013).

And the ridiculously expensive out-of-state tuition costs--that only these losers can afford--guarantees these entitled, arrogant pricks are overly represented.

Ugh, my rage days are coming back to me!!! I gotta go calm-down by looking at my Harbaugh-shrine and Charles Woodson jersey....

I've got two degrees from Michigan and lived in Ann Arbor for about 8 years following graduation. While the über douche seems very NJ Shore, I was aware that there have been East Coast douches at Michigan for decades (along with other douches). And was aware that the Jersey douche presence predates Rutgers being in the B1G. Were you aware I was just making it joke about Rutgers?

Uggg...

 

In the early 1990's the fashion for the Jersey/NY douchebags was to constantly bitch about how much they hated Michigan, how parochial Ann Arbor was, how you couldn't get a good bagel, etc., etc.

 

They basically made it as obvious as possible that they "settled" for Michigan and didn't really want to be in this crap hole backwards state.

I put up the Easter thread. Tried to be very polite. Never mentioned the name of Jesus, or the crucifixion, or the resurrection. But yeah, smh, not surprised it was deleted. There are a couple of mods that let the "power" go their head. Whatever. It is pointless to complain about thread collapse or about points. After all, does anyone find whining to be attractive?

I wasn't the mod to take your thread down, but LSA was quite vocal and public with his thought process on Twitter (not demanding you follow that platform, just FYI).

As a non-Christian that has sided with you in the past I hope you at least understand where the mods are coming from dealing with numerous comments not suited for the site.

This is going to end well.... Seriously, a thread about an asshole college student in Ann Arbor isn't worth a thread, unless the goal is to publicly shame this kid for being a terrible person. There is no rationale in the world for why someone would rant this way about an Uber driver.

I wouldn't use reddit as the barometer of what is suitable for discussion.  There are whole subdomains filled with threads about people popping zits on their back that have thousands of comments.

There is no discussion going on here.  The kid is an asshole who screamed homophobic slurs, amongst other things, at a guy in a car.  Nothing about this will lead to a fruitful discussion beyond the "devil's advocates" who are just trolling for controversy.
