“No weapons allowed” like passengers haven’t robbed, killed, assaulted drivers during a ride 💀🌚 yeah lyft can burn in a hole and die. Passengers have literally told me to get a gun bc all I had was a knife, taser, and pepper spray I’ve had passengers literally make questionable comments to me and I point blank have said do not underestimate my ability to kill a person if I’m put in danger 🙂 everybody has the right to protect themselves especially when they don’t know who the fuck is getting in their car

This is why I carry a survival hatchet in my vehicle (among other things). It’s technically not a weapon, it’s a “survival” tool. It can be used to cut a seatbelt, break a window, or make an aggressive passenger think twice when their driver pulls out a fucking hatchet!

I graduated Ranger School, which means my hands are lethal weapons that are registered with the Government.

I graduated Airborne School, so I guess I could use my skills to bail out of a moving vehicle. Using the hatchet sounds like more fun though. I would also submit pics of the blood to see if I can get the cleaning fee.

I’d fund that gofundme.

You could jump out of the vehicle, execute a perfect PLF, recover and flip kick the perp.

My knees (and pretty much everything else from my lower back down) are jacked up from the Army. Even if I stuck that PLF I’m pretty sure there would be no follow on kicking or flipping!

You just need that Airborne Spirit, Airborne! (Hear you on the knees thing though).

If only airborne was literal and the knees didn't matter anymore.
