I really don't get how his occupation is relevant or why media is focusing on that. How many nurses/cab drivers/personal care givers/doctors/lawyers etc. have been convicted of violent crimes? It's innumerable. The WP article also contains mostly allegations and not even convictions (three that I counted) so IMO that should be mostly irrelevant. There are apparently over one million Uber drivers and 22K in Canada so of course some are going to commit illegal activity, just like any other profession/person. There was a story posted on here recently about a worker at a health food store that abducted, assaulted and held captive 2 women from his place of employment. That was after he had served his time for murdering another woman. Can't find the post but here is a cite. I did not really see a lot of focus on his place of employment then. Because it is irrelevant IMO as violence can happen anywhere. It has happened at dry cleaners, churches, baseball fields, convenience stores and all kinds of other places. I am not really understanding the relevance of the Uber angle other than it is a hot topic of the day/week/month/year.
