Lester Staniowski

April 1,2004

He was trying to stop a guy from shooting a bartender.

Lester worked for the Whittlesea cab co.


 

Abera  Yerga Asmamaw, 39, was found strangled in his cab near the Strip on Aug. 11, 2003.

Mr. Asmamaw had tried to quit the taxi industry because he had had his throat cut while driving.

His death helped to fire the furor over cameras in the cabs.  The cameras in the cabs were dropped.


Pairoj Chitprasart.

Died  just before 3 am on Aug. 24, 2004 of burns received in an attempted robbery that happened on Friday, August 20, 2004.  Mr. Chitprasart was a nellis driver. He lived four days after the attemped robbery.  Perhaps he held on to see if our healthy happy and well paid government officials would do something to help the drivers.  While the other big city's already have shields,  the geniuses here who are able to make it happen are still doing studies and talking, talking talking.

My condolences to his family and friends.
