Look, I don't know why he didn't call Uber, and I don't give a flying ****. But it probably had something to do with it being between 2 and 3 AM.

Oh...OK....Beyond reproach - so, you don't actually KNOW FOR A FACT it happened.   Yeah, I've heard that line before.  YHe's pulling your leg - this story is bullshit, it's beyond incredulous on multiple levels.  It's not that he didn't call Uber - it's that he NEVER called Uber despite all the hassles, and waited over an hour to even call his friend.  This wreaks of bullshit - you're gullible.

And it's not possible relevant facts are being withheld and other parts grossly embellished?  Because when you tell me he can't get a cab for an hour....well, ok, I think that's dubious if dozens of cabs are going by.

But when you tell me 3-4 cabs left when the white guy got out, now THAT is clearly bullshit.  I'm going to guess he was being profiled for where he was going, which apparently turned out to be true....namely that there isn't a return fair from where he went.

Because most NY cab drivers are neither white nor American and just looking to make a buck.
