Taxi driver is stabbed almost to death for not handing over keys to his car.
A taxi driver picked two people up, male and female and they just started stabbing him. :eek: They stabbed him times in the head and 29 times elsewhere on his body when he refused to hand over his car keys.
He was shown on tv3 news and he said it was very fortunate they didn't get a vital organ of his or he'd be dead. The girl is the one who did most of the stabbing and is said to have shown least remorse afterwards.... even indicating she wished they got him more. It is like the Ukrainian murder of the man with the hammer except this man miraculously survived.
How can people this bad exist...? :confused: You would think after being stabbed once or twice that they could have thrown him out and made off with the car. God knows what they even thought they were going to do with the car. The word "scumbag" is nearly too good a word for these guys, even a "scumbag" generally has some excuse or story even if they did an appaling crime.
I think the reason these people are like is because drugs have fucked up their brains so much that they are no longer able to think or perceive things properly. These are no ordinary humans that do these things... they're Frankensteinian creatures, only part human.
