How would you react if you were a cab driver, picked up a guy in your cab who started having a seizure, and you thought he was the jerk who held a knife you your throat for $20 not a month earlier.
Allegedly, that’s the situation a female cab driver from Taunton was in last Thursday. The Taunton Gazette reports:
“As he was walking toward the car I was thinking ‘oh boy, he looks like the same person, same build, same height, same skin tone,’” the alleged victim said in a statement to police. “As soon as he spoke, a chill went up my spine because the voice also matched the person that robbed me at knifepoint.”
[…]
The driver said after Toney coughed once leaned his head back on the headrest and began to have a seizure. She said while he was having the seizure “leaned on the other passenger.”
The driver then pulled over at the corner of Weir Street and Somerset Avenue and radioed her dispatcher who called an ambulance which transported Toney to Morton Hospital, according to documents.
Decent people are decent, no matter who they’re dealing with. They’re decent to people not because it’s deserved, but because of who they are.
Are we decent people? Why, as I write this, does the subject of the treatment of detainees come to mind?
