Trucker in Deadly Colorado Crash Convicted

Exactly the point I've been trying to make. Now everybody who kills people because they're an incompetent moron will think they should serve no more than a decade in prison. I fully expect runaway trucks into Denver killing people to become a common occurrence over the next few years. Which of course will be followed by some ignorant new regulation to be forced on us which all the criers will then want ignored as soon someone they have pity for breaks it.

 

Yeah it’s unfortunately a what can you get away with world now.

 

Ironically if a few dogs had died with the people he would serve way more time . 110 is too much but 10 is too little

 

Jeffrey Dahmer found that out,,,

 

Your lack of compassion and "wood shed" ethics are dated. I can only imagine you are an older person, and have forgotten what it's like to be young. I bet you had some doozies the boss never found out about. I know I did and by the grace of God, nothing happened. I don't know what is fair in our battered legal system these days. Our legal system needs a serious revamping and maybe this is the start. Past ethics were, "lock them away", and that was supposed to be good enough, well, guess what, life on the "inside" isn't so bad, and there's no deterrent for others to do the same, intentionally. In trucking, however, there's no crystal ball, companies simply have to hire what they interpret as a capable driver today. There isn't a line of applicants like when we were young. This is the cost of those actions, the freight has to move, who is going to do it? I'd like to hear your solution to the driver crisis. I think he indeed learned his lesson.

 

I'm 26 and if believing life in prison is too nice for killing 4 people in this manner is "dated" this country deserves everything I see coming. Why do we laws and regulations at all if we can just slap people on the wrist for killing people?

 

What exactly was wrong with his brakes?

 

I'm sorry, but unless you're in a criminal culture, and doing time is just the price of doing business, even one month in jail will be a deterrent. No one is going to say "so if I kill someone because I was careless, 10 years? That's a small price to pay."

That being said, I think that reducing the sentence to 10 years, eligible for parole in 5 is too little.

 

One could imagine the Governor has been indulging in that legal marijuana make a decision like this.

 

He's also gay,,not that there's anything wrong with that, I believe he is doing a good job. I think you are right about his MJ interests. I don't know if he actively uses it, but knew our state could use the almost $300 million in taxes it brings in every year.
