. >>> my name is harry campbell and i'm the founder of "the rideshare guy." it's a blog, podcast, and youtube channel for uber and lyft drivers. i've heard a lot of stories from people out on the road, but never anything as crazy as what jason dalton told the police. >> is uber u-b-e-r? >> mm-hmm. >> so you just recently joined up with them? >> yeah. am i okay to talk about what happened? >> yeah. >> obviously, the goal of these detectives is to get to motivation. what drove jason dalton to commit these crimes? >> the one thing no one in this entire country will ever forget is a killer who says he was motivated by uber. >> i know you guys are going to have a hard time believing this, but it literally took over mind and body. >> the uber app? >> yes. >> it made no sense to anyone that the uber app would take over him and force him to go on this shooting spree.

harry campbell was the last person. after the arrest, it came out that the sheriff had been seen drinking with campbell on the weekends at the brewy which was locateded down the street here at this corner. toledo was known as a wide-open town. hoor kind of pointed out that he didn't trust everybody when its -- my the same was broader than your chief's protest. hoover wanted nothing to happen. toledo was coming out of period when they had seen the gangs come down. ou had the skend killings. jack kennedy was a bootlegger who was murdered by the lica volis. things quieted down. the late 1930's, toledo was relatively quiet, but still a town where people were paid off, and was a place where you could stay under the radar if you were wanted somewhere else. campbell was probably pretty sharp coming here, and was able to stay out of everybody's way for quite a while. >> you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country. visit c-span.org/citiestour. this is american history tv only on c-span 3
