They didn’t pull out any weapon on me, so I was still in denial about what had occurred. I knew something was really off and called my boyfriend because I was scared. I didn’t start really realizing the gravity of the situation until I had driven far away. Now I’d report right away, especially given current events.

Then you are part of the problem.

Classic victim blaming. I’m not part of the problem if I’m not carjacking people.

I agree it would have been better to report and I know now for the future to do so. Calling me part of the problem is just weirdly aggressive

Ignore this ignorant motherfucker. Sorry this idiot somehow conflates your experiences with...whatever he's thinking.

If drivers weren’t being kidnapped and raped I might listen to this.

As someone who has been a sexual assault victim, believe me when I say I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone.

I’m not the one committing violent crimes and they didn’t really commit any crime towards me, they just acted super suspicious.

I stated that I wish I had reported it. Blaming me doesn’t change what happened in the past, all it does is make me feel guilty about something I didn’t cause.

Maybe re-direct your anger towards the people doing this

Maybe stop posting on reddit and report it now.

Call BPD and tell them someone in a ski mask called an Uber, pointed at it, and whispered and tell me how that goes for you.

Exactly. And honestly there are several young men in Baltimore who wear ski masks and don’t commit major crimes. I didn’t want to profile or accuse anyone without evidence.

Now that all of this has come to light in the news and happening frequently, I would report suspicious behavior and been more aware. And I would probably be taken more seriously. I honestly was in so much denial at the time because I wasn’t sure what the intention was.

Report the username, location, time. Don’t exploit it for karma when people are getting kidnapped.

If you ever stop and wonder why the city is like its is. Just know your apathy plays a role. You idiots could be talking about some kidnapper.

I literally witnessed someone forcing another person into a car screaming for help and approached an officer across the street who told me he was busy getting coffee. But you think they'd do something with this vague info. You're deeply naive.
