Colorado trucker gets 110 years for crash

100% right

 

Already said that. When he intentionally steered his truck into 20+ stopped vehicles.

 

Solitary confinement is hard time. Do a little research on what Breivik's conditions are like. Then look at how long USSA's prisoners are subjected to the same conditions. There's also tons of studies showing what that does to people. Breivik never should have given them the satisfaction to take him alive.

You should do a little more reading on who started the ideology behind Communism. His name was Karl Marx. Don't confuse race with ethnicity. Marx may have been born in Germany but his roots were buried in the Middle East. The former can be chosen while the latter cannot.

I can live in Indonesia and that may make me an, "Indonesian" on paper but my blood is 100 percent European. Are Europeans living in Japan, "Japanese"?

 

Don't waste your time on him good sir, he won't learn. I admire your basedness

 

I think that’s a dubious argument. It’s clear the driver in this case suffered bad legal representation. A motor vehicle collision resulting from negligence is not an assault. I don’t think there’s much intentionality involved when a crash is inevitable.

 

I added him to my ignore list after my last response. He's barking up the wrong tree.

 

I’m surprised something like this is such a roaring debate. The driver had the chance to negotiate and accept a plea. Instead he chose to go to trial, in which a jury found him guilty on numerous charges that run consecutively, all of which were minimum sentences. Comparing this to previous or other cases is useless since the charges are different. Though I’m sure everyone has seen folks doing just that.

This gives our industry a bad taste that, on a daily basis, doesn’t get better. Perhaps this can be used to shed light on the biggest issue with this event... the lack of understanding. Whether it be the language, the vehicle, the situation, or the willingness to care, this gentleman had no understanding of what to do.

Copied directly from the Denver Post article:
“The facts and consequences of Mr. Aguilera-Mederos’ decisions that day were extraordinary enough to support pursuing first-degree assault charges,” she said. Aguilera-Mederos refused to accept any plea offer “other than a traffic ticket,” King said, and the convictions recognize the harm caused to victims of the crash.

“My administration contemplated a significantly different outcome in this case, but Mr. Aguilera-Mederos wasn’t interested in pursuing those negotiations,” she said.

Even if you want to let emotions into an accident such as this, how can one think his sentencing isn’t just?

 

And yet a jury and court found him guilty of those charges. You nor I weren't there, nor did we see the evidence. The jury did however, so I'll go with their guilty verdict.
In the eyes of the law it happened. There is no argument that can be made otherwise.

 

Because we can fill pages and pages of accidents that caused more deaths with equal recklessness where sentences were much shorter.

it is damaging to the justice system to have wildly varying standards for similar crimes. Especially Crimes involving no intentional violence.

Also as a personal matter I’m not a fan of the plea bargaining model which is intended to discourage people going to trial. that’s not relevant as much here.

 

And yet no one had posted any that's an apples to apples comparison. So until that happens you're just blowing smoke.
