A severely drunken Taco Bell executive violently attacks Uber driver for kicking him out of the car.

Why isn't alcohol on the Schedule I list of the most dangerous drugs?
I've never seen a pot user do something like this, but it happens all the time when people are drinking.

Horrible! He needs to go to jail and the driver should be compensated. Just disgusting.

Yes, alcohol is a drug with terrible effects. So many lives lost, people paralyzed, adults and children abused by those under the influence. But people love their alcohol...smh.

This was a while ago. The passenger is now suing the driver for releasing the video.

What a moron. About the time this disappears from the news he files the lawsuit is on all the major networks.

Must be a lot of out of work, hungry lawyers to take lawsuits like this. I'd slap him with all the legal fees if it went to court.

This guy is such a piece of work, who has no real regret for his actions beyond that he got caught and fired from it. I hope he loses this case because he deserves all the shame and embarrassment he is receiving for being a drunk idiot.

It's as I've often pointed out, drug laws are hypocritical. If we're really interested in protecting people from themselves, then alcohol and tobacco would certainly be illegal. If we're really not in the business of protecting people from themselves then no drug should be illegal. And anyone committing a crime under the influence of any drug should receive a significantly stiffer punishment.

He's now Taco Bell's PR worst nightmare. They'll take everything they possible can from him and but every inch of distance between their company and him.

Guessing this guy gets fired by Taco Bell post haste. He's now their PR worst nightmare.
He was fired months ago when this video first came out. Taco Bell had no interest in keeping this idiot around.

That was hilarious. I hope that mace burned like hell.


On the other hand, Pot is far more dangerous. I have a cousin that started smoking the pot. Now he's gay.

Obama has created an economy where risking your life to drive around drunk strangers is the best source of income available to many Americans.
