What is it with that university and people paid to drive you around. Is Insell going to mentally assault a Lyft driver with his crazy eyeballs next?

This can mean alot of things

The driver said he put his hand in Oher's face, then Oher hit him, causing him to fall to the ground.

Sort of sounds like "self defense" , or a reasonable case of it.

Sounds to me like the driver started it and now is trying to make a few bucks off of it. He's lucky he didn't try that with a couple of UM's other former players. He'd have been in the hospital.
