A crowd of angry people attending a Sunday vigil against a money-hungry Uber driver who committed suicide last week called the head of the taxi and limousine committee of the city "murderous" then that she was leaving the solemn ceremony.
"Killer! Assassin!", Shouted one of the ten people – made up of drivers for others and other members of the union – who sued the Commissioner of the German Capital Commission , Meera Joshi, at the vigil of Washington Heights in the presence of the tragic driver of Uber, Fausto Luna.
"You do not have a heart," shouted another driver.
Joshi said that she stopped at the homage to pay homage to Luna's distressed parents, but turned to leave when she realized that the family was not there and that the crowd was started to attack her.
The crowd followed Joshi and an assistant to a block before disappearing into the train station of 175th Street, the same train station where Luna, 58, jumped past a train that had just appeared last Monday .
Luna, who according to industry sources was depressed by his growing indebtedness, is the seventh leading caretaker to commit suicide since the beginning of the year, despite the financial turmoil, but the first for Uber.
The city-run TLC has often been the target of criticism that they are not doing enough to regulate ride-sharing companies and help drivers facing financial and mental health crises.
Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, also present at the vigil, hesitated to blame the TLC for all the blame.
"It's not so simplistic. There are a lot of forces at play here, and companies are mainly to blame, "she said. "You can understand the frustration of the pilots."
The TLC disputed the fact that Joshi was driven out of the event and blamed incomprehension on a small group of people who appropriated what was supposed to be a solemn memorial.
"A group of individuals with a very different agenda has diverted the vigil with some of the most heinous and dissident language I've ever heard," said TLC spokesman Allan Fromberg. "When it became clear that their activities would not allow anyone to say or hear constructive messages, we left in order not to allow this group to continue to harm the unit that should have always been at the center of society. Event."
