    3 years ago in the People’s Republic of California when I was taking the class A test on the touch screen the guy beside me had a translator standing behind him. The test was in English so the translator was reading the tester the question then he would proceed to point and say the correct answer. I wasn’t even shocked. By that time I had to ask two different DMV workers to speak English vs Spanish.

    The thing was, he claims break failure. He further hangs himself with that claim. Why drive the truck if it ain't safe to drive it? I was lucky enough to go to school in Murfreesboro, TN. In training, we simulated mountain driving by taking the truck across Monteagle Mountain. Even though it was empty, the instructor emphasized the importance of being in the right gear and stab breaking.

    There's lots of stupid people anywhere there's lots of people, but fear is one of the two key ingredients of propaganda. Fear and anger are the oldest, most primitive emotions, the only emotions which activate the ancient "fight or flight" decision process, and therefore they are the emotions which are by far the most capable of overriding rational thought.

    Just my $0.02.

    Yeah, there was a trial set for Sept. 1 of 2020, but there hasn't been any news on this case for over a year. There's another thread about this that was started when it first happened. I've been wondering if they just decided to let him go.

    I sent an email to a Denver Post reporter asking for news links. Maybe we'll get lucky.

    Thanks for doing this. I spent some time looking for an update on this and couldn't find anything either.
