Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Trucker protest/embargo of Colorado
Well, it's official. The trucker protest of Colorado over the life sentence of the negligent trucker who killed 4 is real. We've been getting notice at work this week that more than a few loads heading our way are delayed because they can't find drivers to drive to Colorado or the trucks are sitting outside state lines.
The supply shortage just got worse in Colorado. Great.

So professional drivers want to be compared to a guy who made multiple poor decision over an extended period of time/distance and killed four in his negligence?
He knew was having problems controlling speed BEFORE hitting the Evergreen exit and Buffalo Herd Overlook exit. He could have pulled over there without any drama. Instead, he started down from Genesee, bypassed the run away truck sand bed, and ignored lots of green grass medians, probably thinking he could just run it out on the flat.
You can debate the term of the sentence, but this was not a case of a single split-second decision causing an accident on the interstate, or some bad weather incident.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
This is so much BS...
The sentence is mandatory by CO law, the judge verbally lamented the sentence, but legally has no choice. However, as I understand it, there is a motion (not the idiot petition on the internet) to revise the sentence, which is somehow allowed under the mandatory consecutive sentence law.
All that being said... This MF'er, and many others that were involved in the lead up to this, should be crucified.
How do you get a CDL when you can't read english?
Some effing bleeding heart die-hard liberal wanted to "be the change that does good" and make a path for more immigrants to be able to work, at best...
Some effing retard bureaucrat took a cash payment for pushing some paperwork through...
^This is the part I don't get. Professionals wouldn't have burned up their brakes (especially with such a light load) and they would have hit the ramp if their brakes did fail. This guy could have easily hit that ramp but chose to swerve 2 lanes the opposite way and run a pickup off the road instead, then continue on kill people. He made VERY bad choices and that usually ends up with very bad punishment.Originally Posted by .455_Hunter
Sucks, but such is life.
Professional truckers shouldn't be standing up for this guy. He gives them a bad name.
I tried explaining this to someone earlier. Their conclusion was that I hate immigrants. They literally said “everyone thinks the strawberries are going to pick themselves.” People have lost all ability to reason.
Never complain; never explain.

Are truckers boycotting Colorado or is it the Union?
With the current political climate being what it is, I'm curious about what and how much professionals really have to say.
It seemed like a slightly harsh sentence, but out of all the fucks I have to give in this life, I definitely have none to give here. Kind of like a DUI that kills four people. Would 110 years be harsh? Slightly, but IDGAF because they killed four people, I guess a progressive would say my fucks were wasted on the people he killed.
As mentioned, I too am curious to know his path to having a CDL and being given the keys.
