Morgan Stanley Investment Banker W. Bryan Jennings, Charged With Stabbing Cab Driver (for apparent overcharge)

Number of bankers stabbed by the American people for their “housing-ride-over-charge” of $10.4 trillion? 0.

During my March second second interview with Dr. Daniel Jones it became quickly evident that the psychopathy checklist breaks into four different aspects.  Until the “Update 1″ of this blog post below I could spot only 3.  After reading the update I’d put a check next to the fourth.  I’m not a trained specialist—but do you have to be?

✓ Callous, kind of a lack of empathy towards others.
✓ Impulsivity, or more specifically a lack of impulse control.
✓ Antisocial behavior, some kind of breaking rules, whether it be social rules or legal rules.

[UPDATE 1, 3.3.2012] He allegedly said words to the effect of: ’The cops won’t do anything to me because I pay $10,000 in taxes.’  Which on the Psychopathic Economics’s blog gets him the fourth check mark:  ✓ Being a manipulative person or a liar.

manipulate [məˈnɪpjʊˌleɪt] vb 2. to negotiate, control, or influence (something or someone)

And I do want to add: I don’t think Mohamed was right to “take” the guy to the cops.  Why didn’t he just call 911?  Having said that, he didn’t just shrug it off like so many of the 313,000,000 Americans did when the banks and Wall Street collectively stuffed us with $33,226.00.  For a family of 4 that is $132,907.00.  Plus interest.

Where was Mohamed when Hank Paulson the ex-Goldmanite got his $700 billion dollar blank check?  Maybe if there’d have been a knife fight over that bee-s we’d have settled this thing already.

Not to mention the negative externalities which resulted from their psychopathic actions: Unemployment is 22.5%;

• 47 million Americans are on food stamps;
• Our children have been saddled with even more debt which went to bailing out insolvent institutions who deserved to fail;
• Prime foreclosures now rival subprime foreclosures;
• Home prices are through the first floor and will be subterranean soon;
• 25% of kids age 18-34 live in mom and dad’s basements;
• 46% of kids 18-24 have no job; 12% of homes are vacant;
• There are schools just for homeless children;
• Tent cities have sprung up; and 60 Minutes now runs stories of children living in cars with their unemployed parents.

Mohamed Ammar said investment banker W. Bryan Jennings — a $2-million-a-year fat cat for Morgan Stanley — went from being a sweet gentleman he picked up in Midtown to a surly, knife-wielding “drunk” who stiffed him on the $204 fare when they got to Jennings’ Darien, Conn., home.

 Cab driver Mohamed Ammar (above) says investment banker W. Bryan Jennings (below) slept off a night of drinking in the back of his cab and then slashed him when they got to Connecticut.

“I said, ‘You have to pay me. It’s the law,’ ” Ammar recalled at his Queens home yesterday, where he lives with his wife and three children. “He says, ‘What law? You should go back to your own f–king country.’

“I say, ‘This is my f–king country, excuse my language. I’m an American citizen!’ ” said the driver, who is originally from Egypt.

“That’s when he pulled out the penknife . . . He leaned forward and yelled, ‘I’m gonna kill you, motherf–ker!” Ammar said.

“I saw his hand balled up into a fist and I thought he was going to punch me,” the cabby said.

“I put my hand out to protect, and that is when I saw the penknife. He went for my neck first but ended up slashing my hand many times as I was fighting him off . . . My hand was bleeding pretty bad” as Jennings fled on foot, Ammar said.

“He was drunk and out of control, and he could have killed me. That was one of the scariest moments of my life.”

…

“I tell him, ‘Sir, we are going to drive back into town so we can find the closest police station . . . Would you close the door?’ He refused. He sat in the seat as I drove with the door open.” Then the alleged attack took place.

Jennings allegedly told Ammar “the cops wouldn’t do anything to him because he pays $10,000 in taxes,” court records state.

From “Yeves’s” site:

“It pales in comparison to the 2010 case in which Morgan Stanley’s Joel Erzinger hit and run of a cycling New York doctor, Steve Milo, and paid his way out of a felony charge. “
