Trucker protest/embargo of Colorado

And...it's not just a benefit to society that's important. Part of the justice system entails punishment. This is punishment for what he did.

And the threat of punishment is a deterrent. Another tangible benefit to society.

That's just an ignorant question that has nothing to do with this topic.
It's always helpful to maybe give these things a little thought before responding in a knee-jerk, emotional way.

Right Arm, Right Arm, Bailey.
There seems to be more and more shill or infiltrator members on this site. Trying to breed hate & discontent amongst the membership.
Unfortunate for them though, the most of us still hold true to old values of right & wrong and crime & punishment.

If the guy gets off i hope the families of the victims sue him for everything he is worth and will ever earn.

How much do ya want to bet that Polis meets or talks with Kim Kardashian so he can get into national news again? He?s an attention whore and LOVES to be in the national spotlight. This is the perfect setup for him to get his mug back in national news.

He's seeking attention as a prelude to a 2028 presidential run.

Yup. Next time a trucker is barely in control and contemplating a ramp, maybe they'll weigh the risks of a 110 year sentence against the cost of the tow and fine to use the ramp.

(AFAIK it does cost truckers quite a bit to hit a ramp, which is incredibly stupid imho)

“Regrettable Accident”


Pure fucking bullshit.
I held a CDL in Colorado for 24 years as a DOT employee.I was a Supervisor and Driver Trainer for 18 of those 24 years.
I have driven that section of highway many times without incident.

A “Regrettable Accident” is when somebody runs a traffic light in front of you when you have the green light and you eat them with a 14’ plow attached to 60,000 lbs of truck at 40mph.
A “Regrettable Accident” is when somebody loses control in the snow and crosses the centerline and you cut their car in half with a 14’ plow attached to 60,000 lbs of truck at 25mph.
A “Regrettable Accident” is when you have no choice of action.

Ask me how I know.

This motherfucker knowingly CHOSE to drive past not one but two runaway truck ramps with full knowledge he had brake failure.
This motherfucker knowingly CHOSE not to attempt any means of mitigating/minimizing the risk to the motoring public.
This motherfucker had miles and minutes to make his choices.
Willfull and Wanton behavior.
The charges were appropriate.
He earned everything he got.

He was offered a plea deal which he turned down.
He took his gamble with a jury.
He lost.
Too bad, so sad.
Is 110 years an injustice? Possibly but an even bigger injustice is a DA who is cowtowing to political pressure. She should be disbarred.
Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a reason and that is to weigh a case/situation solely on the merit of the case
