Benjamin Golden, ex-Taco Bell exec, sues Uber driver he beat up on viral video

A former Taco Bell executive who lost his job after a viral dashcam video showed him violently beating an Uber driver is now suing the driver for $5 million, accusing him of illegally recording the incident.
Benjamin Golden, 32, said the driver, Edward Caban, is to blame for any injuries he suffered during the Oct. 30 incident in Costa, Mesa, California, according to court documents.
Mr. Golden’s lawyer, Courtney Pilchman, told CNBC that she will seek to have the video of the attack barred from evidence in the criminal case against Mr. Golden, alleging that the video was illegally recorded

So, thus guy "Benjamin Golden" (big nose and all) is suing the driver. Represented by his LAWYA Courtney Pilchman.

I'd like to know what are the stereotypes as well. Then maybe we'll all know what is supposed to be so funny too.

The driver deserved to get his ass kicked IMO.

for what?

He didn't perform the job he was hired to do. And he put a passenger in danger. And that is before he illegally assaulted his victim with a chemical weapon. That is felonious assault.

That driver should be in prison.

he threw a belligerent drunk out of his car -- which he had every right to do.

and then he protected himself from the belligerent drunk.... which he had every right to do.

Wrong.

The passenger was defending himself from a kidnapper.

Wait, telling someone to get out of your car is carrying them off by force or fraud? I'd love to hear that explanation.

Why would you think I meant that? I didn't criticize the driver in any way: he did nothing wrote g.

Scabs my ass. I am not sure what the taxi service is like in your area but in my city they have sucked for decades now. You'll call for a cab and they just won't show up. Call again, if they answer, you get some mouthy ass that hangs up on you. A sharp decline in service and people skills is what lead to the competition and I welcome it with both arms.

Obviously there was a legally binding verbal contract between the cab driver and the passenger to take him from point A to point B. Instead, he took him somewhere else in the middle of the night.

It's kidnapping.

The piece of shit driver should be prosecuted and spend the rest of his life in prison. He's a fucking scumbag.

The passenger was fired and rightly so.
