Road rage suspect who attacked Asian mom, daughter is assaulted by inmates in Hawaii
Serial road rage suspect Nathaniel Radimak, 38, who allegedly attacked an Asian American mother and daughter in Honolulu earlier this month, is back behind bars at the Halawa Correctional Facility following hospitalization after being beaten by fellow inmates.

The road rage incident occurred on May 7 when Diane Ung's 18-year-old daughter was reportedly attempting to parallel park on Halekauwila Street with her 7-month-old daughter in the backseat. 'This guy just comes zooming down, maybe about 40 to 50 in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. And my daughter just sticks her head out the window and says, 'slow down,'' Ung told KHON 2.
Surveillance video shows a Tesla making a U-turn before its male driver approached the vehicle, reached through the window and punched Ung's daughter in her jaw area. Ung, who intervened by throwing coffee at the driver, also told KABC that 'he came running across the street, struck me like a Superman punch right inside my face,' resulting in a gash that required eight stitches.

Arrest and assault
Honolulu police arrested Radimak on May 8 at an apartment on Ala Wai Boulevard, charging him with unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and two counts of assault. His bail was set at $100,000, and he was additionally arrested on a no-bail parole revocation warrant.
Radimak, however, sustained injuries to his face and torso after being allegedly assaulted by fellow inmates in a housing unit at the Halawa facility on May 12. A photo making rounds on social media shows him in a wheelchair with facial bruises.

Criminal history
Radimak was released from California prison last August after serving less than a year of a five-year sentence for multiple road rage attacks across Southern California. He is now being held at the Halawa facility instead of jail due to his status as a convicted felon and parole violator in California's correctional system.
Radimak is scheduled for arraignment on Thursday and will be extradited to California only after serving any sentences in Hawaii if convicted, authorities said.

Former Cop Says He Routinely Confiscated Guns, Fentanyl and Cocaine at Tesla Factory
A lawsuit filed by Ozell Murray, a former police officer fired as head of security at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, suggests the plant has a severe sexual assault, drug and alcohol abuse, and rampant racism problem. According to the 159-page federal suit, first obtained by The Independent, the officer's team "routinely" confiscated cocaine, fentanyl, and guns onsite. His team also investigated "acts of sexual deviance" and sent employees "home for being alcohol-intoxicated and high on drugs." The startling allegations aren't the first warnings of workplace trouble at the facility. The Fremont factory has already garnered a reputation for rampant racism, with a previous lawsuit raising concerns over racist graffiti — "KKK epithets, a swastika, and the N-word all over the bathroom" — and mistreatment of workers. Black employees have also said that nooses — a symbol of racial violence from America's history of fatal lynchings — were used to taunt them at work. Tesla has already settled in court over accusations of racial discrimination at the factory. Worse yet, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a long track record of waging a war against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, while furthering white supremacist conspiracy theories. He even infamously performed two Nazi salutes at Donald Trump's post-inauguration celebration earlier this year. He has previously blamed the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year on Black firefighters and suggested that Black students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have lower IQs and shouldn't become pilots. He's also been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior, including against employees, on several occasions. In other words, the abysmal situation at the mercurial billionaire's first car factory in California — a home state he abandoned in favor of Texas years ago — is closely wrapped up in his own personal beliefs. In his lawsuit, Murray accused Tesla of putting profits over everything. "Healthy profits have always been more important to the Company than a healthy working environment," reads the suit obtained by The Independent. "For Tesla, more bodies on the manufacturing line meant more vehicles flying out the factory door — no matter how unclean the hands were that were assembling those cars." According to the complaint, supervisors also abused the company's policy on drug and alcohol use. "As it turned out, many supervisors and managers were merely using the policy as a means to retaliate against their subordinates — and, in particular, when a line employee had turned down the supervisor or manager's sexual advances," the complaint reads. "Or, when the manager or supervisor wanted to retaliate against someone because of their race or ethnicity," it goes on. "Or, when the manager or supervisor wanted to retaliate against someone because of a complaint an employee had lodged against them." According to the document, a specific manager continuously fostered the "delusion that the environment and culture at Tesla is one of tolerance and innovation, rather than racism and retaliation." Murray also accused the company of firing him "under the pretextual guise of 'poor performance.'" Beyond racial discrimination, Tesla's Fremont factory also has long been accused of fostering an unsafe work environment, including reports of crushed limbs, workers fainting from dehydration, and fires. An employee there also murdered a colleague in the parking lot several years ago. Earlier this year, Tesla was fined for violating California's workplace heat protection rules. Workers are known to have borne the brunt of Musk's "ultra hardcore" work culture, including 12-hour shifts, often putting them at risk of injury. In 2020, a Tesla factory worker described working conditions to SF Weekly as a "life and death situation." A separate worker called the plant a "modern-day sweatshop." Murray, alongside his co-defendants, is seeking compensatory, emotional distress, punitive, and exemplary damages, accusing Tesla of retaliation, wrongful termination, and failure to prevent unlawful discrimination. It's ironic in the face of the allegations, but Musk has spent the last week raging about crime rates — even though violent crime just hit its lowest level in the United States since the 1960s.

Brawls, racism and cocaine: Lawsuit reveals life inside Tesla plant where Musk was directly involved with HR decisions
Working conditions at Tesla's manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, have allegedly gone from bad to worse, with sexual assaults aboard company shuttle buses, drug and alcohol use onsite, all-out brawls breaking out between employees and 'prevalent' bigotry – including widespread use of the N-word, a bombshell lawsuit reveals. In a 159-page federal lawsuit filed Thursday and obtained first by The Independent, Ozell Murray, a former Fresno police officer in charge of security at the 22,000-person factory, claims he and his team 'routinely' seized cocaine and fentanyl onsite, confiscated guns discovered in the building, investigated 'acts of sexual deviance' on Tesla grounds, and, at regular intervals, 'pulled employees off the manufacturing line and sent them home for being alcohol-intoxicated and high on drugs.' Those who reported the issues were fired over bogus charges or forced to resign, according to Murray's complaint, to which several of his ex-colleagues signed on as co-defendants. 'Healthy profits have always been more important to the Company than a healthy working environment,' the complaint alleges. 'For Tesla, more bodies on the manufacturing line meant more vehicles flying out the factory door – no matter how unclean the hands were that were assembling those cars.' Tesla's Model Y, Model S, Model 3 and Model X lines are manufactured in Fremont. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Tesla in 2023 over allegations of unbridled racism at its Fremont plant. This spring, Tesla settled a lawsuit brought by a Black employee at the Fremont facility who accused a manager of greeting her by saying, 'Welcome to the plantation,' and, 'Welcome to the slave house.' A Tesla spokesperson did not respond on Friday to a request for comment. The complaint against Tesla, which was brought by Murray and former Tesla HR execs Linda Peloquin, Adam Chow, Tiara Paulino, Sharnique Martin and Gregory Vass, says Tesla CEO, and erstwhile presidential 'First Buddy.' Elon Musk – presently America's least-likable public figure, according to Gallup – was personally involved in many of the Fremont factory's hiring and firing decisions. 'Musk was a frequent visitor to the facility—and not just for high-level photo opportunities, but to take a hands-on approach to managing, directing, and facilitating resolution of the manufacturing and workforce issues at the plant,' the complaint states. 'Musk would frequently visit the plant and conduct issue-resolution meetings with actual line employees, not just upper management bureaucrats. Musk would hold – meetings with line-level employees from every function of the plant – from the manufacturing line to operations to HR – and issue directives right then and there to resolve the issues employees raised.' The complaint goes on to describe a significant portion of the carmaker's 'hastily-hired and poorly-vetted' workforce in Fremont as 'blatant racists and misogynists.' 'Many who have worked there have likened the workplace to the Jim Crow South; an environment in which Black employees and brown-skinned workers are besieged with constant racial abuse, stereotyping, and hostility – including with repeated use of inarguably the most brutal and degrading racial slur in the history of humanity: N****r,' according to the complaint. '... Black Tesla employees have reported regularly encountering nooses on desks and other equipment as well as seeing the word 'N****r' graffitied on walls, in bathroom stalls, elevators – even on new Tesla vehicles rolling off the production line.' The complaint filed by Murray and his former coworkers alleges that the 'use of the 'N-word' was prevalent' at Fremont. In late 2021, one of Murray's direct reports, a Black security officer who was also a former cop, 'was victimized when a Tesla employee called her a n****r,' the complaint states. 'Murray's colleague was so distressed by the incident and the impunity with which the word was used toward her… that she had to take a medical leave from work to recover from the trauma,' according to the complaint. 'Yet, instead of offering encouragement, Murray's supervisor… counseled him that Murray should be informing all new Black security personnel that the use of the 'N-word' was simply engrained [sic] in the culture at Tesla and, so, Murray should only be bringing aboard that are willing to accept and acquiesce to the prevalence of that word in the workplace.' In another incident indicative of the 'racial tension and toxicity' at Tesla's Fremont plant, the complaint says a Black assembly-line employee working on a vehicle called out a warning after he spotted a coworker about to do something that could potentially damage the car. According to the complaint, the coworker, who was white, 'responded by angrily yelling back, 'Do you want to hang by a tree?'' Supervisors were also known to abuse Tesla's 'zero tolerance' policy at the time for drug and alcohol use on the job, the complaint goes on. It says that if a higher-up suspected an employee was under the influence, they could report the person to security and Murray or someone from his team would then escort them off the premises 'without question.' However, in 'many instances,' the supposedly intoxicated employee did not appear that way to the security officer tasked with removing them, according to the complaint. 'As it turned out, many supervisors and managers were merely using the policy as a means to retaliate against their subordinates – and, in particular, when a line employee had turned down the supervisor or manager's sexual advances,' the complaint states. 'Or, when the manager or supervisor wanted to retaliate against someone because of their race or ethnicity. Or, when the manager or supervisor wanted to retaliate against someone because of a complaint an employee had lodged against them.' Yet, the complaint claims incidents such as these were swept under the rug by one specific Tesla manager who had 'an irrational fixation on fostering the delusion that the environment and culture at Tesla is one of tolerance and innovation, rather than racism and retaliation.' Because of sky-high demand for Tesla vehicles at the time, if a violent or racist Tesla employee were to actually get fired for cause, they were regularly 'loopholed' back in via a temp agency, according to the complaint. This, the filing says, allowed them to bypass the usual background check, and 'oftentimes' meant an employee who had been previously victimized 'had to actually resume working with their attacker and tormentor.' One loopholed employee who had been let go for workplace violence returned to Fremont and promptly attacked another colleague, the complaint states. For his part, the complaint says Murray 'was outspoken' with Tesla management about safety and security concerns in Fremont. For that, he wound up 'summarily fired under the pretextual guise of 'poor performance,'' even though he had never once been disciplined and was promoted five times in his six years with Tesla. Murray's co-defendants all endured similar experiences, being drummed off the payroll for supposed 'poor performance,' according to the complaint. Each of them had brought up serious concerns about issues at Tesla, or had investigated and substantiated employee wrongdoing, and were subsequently 'outright fired' for doing so, or resigned before they could be terminated, the complaint alleges. None had ever received any negative performance reviews, according to the complaint. Murray and his co-defendants are suing Tesla on five causes of action, including retaliation, wrongful termination and failure to prevent unlawful discrimination. They are seeking compensatory damages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages and exemplary damages to be determined by a jury, plus attorneys' fees and court costs.

"This Will Open the Floodgates": Tesla In Trouble as Jury Orders It to Pay $329 Million After Autopilot Death
Tesla just got handed one of its biggest legal blows yet — one that could have seismic implications for its future operations. On Friday, a Miami jury ruled that the Elon Musk-owned automaker's Autopilot driver assistance software was partially at fault for a horrendous collision that killed a 22-year-old woman in 2019 and severely injured her boyfriend. In total, the jury ordered Tesla to pay $329 million to the surviving family of the victims, Naibel Benavides and Dillon Angulo, including $200 million in punitive damages and $129 million in compensatory damages. It was not considered to be primarily at fault: the driver of the Tesla Model S involved in the crash, George McGee, was found to bear 66 percent of the blame for the crash. Tesla shoulders the remaining 33 percent. "Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere, alongside Elon Musk telling the world Autopilot drove better than humans," Brett Schreiber, counsel for the plaintiffs, said in statement on Friday, as quoted by CNBC. "Tesla's lies turned our roads into test tracks for their fundamentally flawed technology, putting everyday Americans like Naibel Benavides and Dillon Angulo in harm's way." The tragic incident took place while McGee was driving his Tesla while Enhanced Autopilot was enabled. When he bent down to pick up his phone after dropping it, the Model S careened through an intersection at nearly 60 miles per hour and smashed into a parked SUV, which Benavides and Angulo were standing behind. Benavides died at the scene, and Angulo survived with horrific injuries. While on the witness stand, McGee said he believed Autopilot would protect him and brake on its own to prevent a crash. Schreiber accused Tesla of running a "misinformation campaign" that vastly overstated Autopilot's capabilities, per the New York Times. "I feel like we were experimented on," Angulo told NBC6 South Florida in 2023, "and this technology was out on the road before it was safe." The ruling could drastically impact Tesla's autonomous vehicle efforts — which it's been increasingly leaning into as its sales falter — and perhaps reshape the self-driving landscape at large. These are enormous damages, and the prospect of being on the hook anytime the experimental software kills or injures a bystander could dampen investor enthusiasm for the tech. It also comes at a critical moment for Tesla, which launched a limited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June, and expanded its driverless fleet this week to San Francisco. Musk is hoping that a pivot to robotaxis could rake in the company trillions of dollars. Prior to the launch, he estimated that Tesla could have a million robotaxis on American roads by the end of 2026. In light of the ruling, that's a lot expensive legal liabilities waiting to happen. "This will open the floodgates," Miguel Custodio, a car crash lawyer not involved in the lawsuit, told the Associated Press after the ruling. "It will embolden a lot of people to come to court." This may have been a long time coming for Tesla. Its self-driving software — which are actually driver assistance features, regardless of their overconfident brand names — have been involved in multiple deadly crashes. The automaker has frequently been criticized for exaggerating how autonomously its cars can operate and has been repeatedly investigated by federal regulators and sued by state authorities. Tesla says it will be appealing the decision. "Today's verdict is wrong and only works to set back automotive safety and jeopardize Tesla's and the entire industry's efforts to develop and implement life-saving technology," the company said in a statement.
