Timothy Anderson, a former taxi driver, was arrested for the murder of a Uber driver in Okaloosa county, Florida. Filip Kirilov was found Sunday morning shot to death. Allegedly, he was a known opponent of Uber, citing declining business in an interview and recruiting other taxi drivers to take legal action against the ride share company. Anderson was identified and linked to the murder with surveillance equipment in the victim's car and Uber records. Police are calling the murder an isolated incident and believe the motive was revenge.

    I'm not sure what he actually means, but my take would be: Uber being evil, would see that he is a convicted murderer, and that would immediately qualify him for any Uber job without further scrutiny. Even if the murder victim was an Uber driver -- should Uber care about that? Would they care? If it doesn't hurt their bottom line nor their ability to subvert regulations, it should all be okay.
