Trucker protest/embargo of Colorado

Yes. But not for the reason you mentioned above.

Whew!
I feel gooder now.

He did not wake up that morning and say to himself that he is going to murder as many people as possible today.

He did not say to himself, I am trusted with a big truck on a big hill, and this will make it easier for me to murder people today.

Was he negligent, yes, but so are a lot of other people, including the people that gave him that route, and that cargo, and his Commercial Drivers License.

Says the guy with Serial Speed Limit Breaker for a handle.

You can’t make this shit up

Well there you go, I am a serial speed limit breaker, and probably the safest driver you will ever know.

It’s super weird you would sympathize with that murdering shit bag. See something of yourself in him maybe?

That I might get overwhelmed and cause an accident that kills people? In a truck, down I-70, as an inexperienced driver?

There's a reason these are called accidents. Have you never had an accident?

[Vic Tory]

I was called Insane because I compared the drivers disregard for life and property to the actions of somebody who just opens fire into a crowd.

To me they share the same willful and wantonly negligent and reckless behavior.

We agree. Except I don't consider his behavior "negligent," but CRIMINAL. (So I am more crazy than you!)

"Negligent??!!!" That's nuts!

He did CHOOSE to pass not one, but TWO truck escape ramps. He CHOSE not to put the truck in the ditch at any of at least a dozen places. He CHOSE to smash into several vehicles, with the near certainty people would be maimed and/or killed.

[arbol]

You make it sound like he was sitting there, whistling dixie, and driving hell bent on murder.

But that's probably not the case.

He likely had no experience in driving down i-70, in a truck, with potentially fading brakes.

[arbol]

This likely happens quite often, but less spectacularly, with only one or two people killed, at the bottom of Floyd hill.

I have read Polis chose this because many other states' maximum sentence for similar crimes is ten years per conviction, served concurrently.

I wonder if his jumping in before it has a chance to work it's way through the system is a violation of the oath of office to support the constitution and laws of Colorado.
