  1. and i'm posting this for the chance that any of y'all might have seen something.

    there is a huge suprise to this.

    this happened in a AUSTIN, TEXAS cab and the cab driver was behind this. a taxi. a cab. someone who drives you around the city.

    with a gun put to his chest he was taken over to the east side of 35 on Riverside, where his wallet, ID, money, cards, keys, and everything were stolen.

    it wasn't smart, but when you feel threatened he made an attempt to wrestle the guy out of the car and gun out of his hand, but 2 other guys came up and stomped on his face and head. he was left bleeding on the side of the road as the 'cab' drove off with the guys, and everything he had on him.

    if you think you saw anything let me know.


    i can't get a hold of him right now because he has no phone and it's the only way to get a hold of him. this was a bulletin he posted on myspace and i wanna help him figure this out. i have no idea about a police report or what cab company but i will definitely find out which taxi service

    He's lucky he's not on a slab. Money's not worth losing your life.

    Wow, dude, that sucks. There's just simply nothing you can do about this. This needs to be all over the news. Have they been contacted?

    I agree with Kangsta. Probably a stolen cab. The shocking thing is that getting a safe ride home is not supposed to be a dangerous thing.

    A friend of mine and a couple of his buddies were kidnapped in Mexico City by a fake cab driver and an accomplice. They were driven to the outskirts of town, where one victim decided they were about to be executed, so he tried to grab the assailants' gun. He ended up taking a bullet in his gut. Fortunately, a US Navy doctor lived in the area, heard the commotion, and ended up saving his life.

    My friend is a senior editor at Texas Monthly, and wrote an article about the incident a few years ago. I bet you can find it in their archives. Scary stuff.
