Once Avila dropped them off at the hotel, he called the police.

"The worst thing I thought would happen when driving Uber is that I would be getting drunk passengers and I would have to handle them," Avila, 34, who is also a quinceañera photographer, told NBC Latino. "All my life, I thought about people throwing up in the car as the worst scenario."

Avila started streaming to Facebook LIVE once the police arrived. His reaction to breaking up a child sex trafficking ring had been viewed more than 119,000 times as of Thursday afternoon

1. Personally, I'd be too chickensh*t to broadcast my last name as he did. Decent good man.

[targetpractice]

2. Good samaritan and a Trump supporter...

...He broadcast that Hillary supporters would not do what he had done. He said, "Trump supporters don't play."

[iluvtennis]

4. My brother is a Uber driver and Hillary supporter and he would have done the same thing...

..it's how he's wired as a dad of 4 kids. He has gotten fall down drunk USC coeds safely home on many occasions.

13. Whaaa? Why are people so stupid when it comes politics?

I always roll my eyes whenever people say stupid stuff like that, no matter where they fall politically. It's just weird how some people view the world.

3. This is a good man

[IronLionZion]

5. Politics aside, He saw something and said something

he did the right thing getting involved and calling the police when many others would have not or been afraid to do so. Good for him.

I'd like to think we'd all do the right thing in such circumstances.

6. Lets see a driverless car top that! n/t

7. Thankful he did something. I don't think his politics had anything to do with it.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

9. He has earned the right to be mistaken

He says in the video that a Hillary supporter probably wouldn't have helped and that Trump supporters don't play, meaning ithet take action. He's wrong about that - I believe a Democrat would be more likely than a Republican to help - but still a good man obviously.

11. I'll forgive him his politics

he done good

[RedWedge]

8. So should this guy be labeled "deplorable," or no?

I'm trying to keep up.

[MyNameGoesHere]

17. Yes

Bringing politics into a decent act is the mark of being a deplorable.

Now I am convinced this is propaganda staged by other deplorable

[LanternWaste]

18. Good luck.

"I'm trying to keep up..."

Good luck. Bias and implication can often weigh us down when trying to keep up.

10. Funny to see people praising this guy in this thread

When another thread saying that every Trump supporter is hateful is going strong at the same time.

[fletch18]

15. Unredeamable racist NT

[JI7]

16. he is still hateful based on what he said

[LanternWaste]

19. I suppose it must be odd to see others take nuance and context into account

I suppose it must be odd to see others take nuance and context into account. It can be a difficult concept to wrap one's head around when we apply and blame one sentiment to and on an entire demographic.

Thankfully, only "they" do that, as your own post merely looks as though it's guilty of its own indictment... but that can be easily justified if we think creatively.

[oberliner]

20. How is that odd?

I think nuance and context are actually what are sadly often missing here.

My assertion is that there are some non-hateful people who voted for Trump. I think we ought to at least acknowledge that those people are out there.

[xor]

21. Even though this guy obviously did good

there is something about him that rubs me the wrong way. That was even before he brought his nonsensical political statement into the mix. I dunno, I guess I just don't understand people who lack any sort of ability to be humble. And yeah, I get that's probably a personal problem on my end that I need to deal with.

[tblue37]

12. He might be in danger now, so I hope he takes care. nt

[maxrandb]

14. He Did a Good Deed

But he's still a dickhead.

I for one am sick and tired of these pompous holier than thou asshats.

Great job dude but go fuck yourself for smearing 68 million Americans.

Couldn't do a nice thing without having to parrot limpballs hate radio bullshit
