Uber Attacker Sues Driver--What A Crock



In an almost like a case of when a dog bites the mail carrier
And the owner of the biting mutt or terrier
Sues the mail man for emotional distress
No wonder our disgust of lawyers and the tort system is hard to suppress
Ben Goldman in a drunken stupor attacks his Uber driver with a flurry of blows
Having no idea that on a dashboard camera his assault would show
The video goes viral and Goldman receives his pink slip
Amazing what chaos possible when a man is in alcohol’s grip
But the news gets better yet this assaulter for emotional distress
Sues the driver for five million in seeking redress
Invasion of privacy in an Uber cab seems a stretch
But never underestimate a lawyer’s desire to a major contingent fee fetch
If a raging drinker is on a candid video cam for the world to see

Why is this an invasion of privacy—seems like a total travesty to most of us including me
In an almost like a case of when a dog bites the mail carrier
And the owner of the biting mutt or terrier
Sues the mail man for emotional distress
No wonder our disgust of lawyers and the tort system is hard to suppress
