Title: Taxi Driver Killer Protest
Post by: Regulator on 03 September, 2009, 01:24:27 pm
Taxi drivers are threatening a strike over the possibility of a schizophrenic who killed his wife being able to do the knowledge and become a cabbie. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8233750.stm)

Given that most black cab drivers appear to be paranoid schizophrenic killers anyway, what are they worried about?

Still, at least he'll be able to drone on to himself instead of his passengers

(yes, I know, politically incorrect, that's not what schizophrenia is about, etc)

I thought this was a racist comment to begin with!

Now now.

Mr Grantham did his time, having seen the weapon involved I can tell you right now that it was a complete accident that the gun went off, even if you had to load it, chamber a round and then take the safety off before you accidently shoot a taxi driver in the head.
