I’m just being cynical about the nature of American corporatism. I expect (1) the attacker’s insurance to refuse to pay and instead sue the rideshare company, (2) the rideshare company to redirect the lawsuit onto the driver - “hey! they weren’t operating their own vehicle according to our terms of service. We only provided an app!”, and (3) the socialist nature of our own legal system in 21st century America to make this all about being the victim’s fault, thereby totally ignoring the entire reason the event all took place to begin with - some psycho tried killing his woman AND another person in the process.

Don’t shoot the messenger for pointing out all of the way things are broken in our society. I’m with you on all of your points made about how things ought to be.
