Trucker protest/embargo of Colorado

And here you go...

"What happened was tragic, and we believe that he’s a victim of malicious prosecution," said LULAC president, Domingo Garcia. "To prosecute him and kind of make an example out of him, I don’t think would’ve happened number one if he wasn’t a Latino and number two if he wasn’t an immigrant," Garcia said. "I think race played a role in this."

You knew that was coming. I hate race hustlers.

Ignorant fucks clearly have not read the court transcripts nor the arrest warrant.
Nor do they care.

While the 110 years may seem like an injustice the bigger injustice is the system rolling over for the ignorant masses.

Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a reason.

If you were to infect someone and they died due to your infectious status. Would 110 years of incarceration be appropriate?

Uh...not sure even how to respond to this. It's off topic, vague and completely unequal.

This trucker killed 4, injured dozens and created millions in damage due to his negligence. The 110 years wasn't punishment for a single crime against one person. It was the total for more than 2 dozen crimes he was found guilty of.

BTW, he was charged with 42 counts. He wasn't found guilty of many of them. (So much for the this is just racist cries).

That's just an ignorant question that has nothing to do with this topic.

However, there are many examples or people being charged with attempted murder (maybe murder, too) for knowingly and intentionally infecting/attempting to infect someone with a disease. There are laws against that sort of thing for a reason.

Therefore, if you consider a person who knowingly and intentionally infects 4 people and they die, that's four counts of murder. Now add on 6 more counts of 1st Deg Assault for intentionally causing serious harm to others thru the infection. That 110 years doesn't seem like so much now, does it? And we haven't even touched on the 32 other charges.

It's always helpful to maybe give these things a little thought before responding in a knee-jerk, emotional way.

My point was the justice system, is society as a whole gaining any tangible benefit from the sentence?

[Bailey Guns]

Yes. Someone who killed 4 people and injured numerous others and cost other people and businesses potentially millions of dollars won't be on the street to do it again. That's a tangible benefit.

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.

Also there’s on that passed him to get his license should lose their tester license since he was new to driving.

If society keeps going with no severe consequences for peoples actions the actions will become more severe.
I don’t care what anyone thinks, the reason why he did what he did was he only cared about himself not getting hurt and the only reason he’s sorry is because of the sentencing what was handed to him.

So why should he get to have a life when he selfishly took others.

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.
