Trucker protest/embargo of Colorado

How many years of living did his intentional and reckless act take from those he killed? His sentence of 110 years was just.

Absolutely it was just. He was found guilty of 26 charges. Each guilty verdict earns jail time. That adds up.

I can't believe anyone would say 10 years is fair for 26 crimes which include multiple homicides.

Agreed, and I don't understand why his employer and supervisors weren't prosecuted as accessory.

What Polis has done is an outrageous usurpation of justice and the justice system, all for grandstanding as a supposed compassionate progressive leader. Commutation isn't to be used before the justice system has completed it's processes. The case was still early in the system process and appeals would have corrected any over sentence. How pompous and arrogant Jared Polis has shown himself to be! Real justice would see Polis impeached and perhaps required to serve the remaining 100 years of the lucky criminal's sentence. If I were one of the victims family I'd be looking to string them both up.

"Unjust sentence" my arse. <snip> Polis is just playing to La Raza.

This.

Bingo!

He was offered a plea deal, what was that? If it is more than 10 years, this asshole played the system and won.

I?m so glad they Polis took so long to put a lot of thought into it? and then released it right before New Years and a big fire. I?m sure he?ll run the shit out of this Spanish Langauge outlets.

If I lost a loved one, who burned alive and couldn?t escape, what I just learned is that BBQ someone costs you 15 months. I?m far from ?prison-rated?, but I?d do that time.

"Unjust sentence" my arse. What's unjust is that a guy who killed 10 people through his own willful negligence is going to do 10 years or less (probably much less). Polis is just playing to La Raza.

“Regrettable Accident”

Pure fucking bullshit....

Agreed!



I drove a truck for an egg farm. Because we were agricultural, I didn't have a CDL. (Our truck was a cab-over straight frame. Not articulated.)

But friends still -- 20 years later -- remark about my awareness extending so much more ahead than the typical driver's. These 45,000 pound WEAPONS don't stop on a dime. You MUST be alert to what's going-on way in front of you ... and all around you.

This murderer knew what he was risking, and did not care. He should be sentenced to the total years of life expectancy of the people he killed ... PLUS 100 years!
