GOLDEN, Colo.   — A truck driver who was convicted of causing a fiery pileup that killed four people and injured six others on Interstate 70 west of Denver was sentenced Monday to 110 years in prison. District Court Judge Bruce Jones imposed the sentence against Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, 26, after finding it was the mandatory minimum term set forth under state law, The Denver Post reported.CORRECTIONS*

Comments:

This was a horrific accident a couple years ago in Lakewood, a suburb of Denver. This guy had no business being behind the wheel of a big truck. He had options to hit a runaway ramp or a ditch but he sacrificed others to save himself. His defense was he had bad brakes. It’s always the drivers responsibility to make sure his equipment is in safe working order. Plus being Cuban he didn’t even speak English. He should have never been behind the wheel of a truck.

Per the article, the minimum sentence allowed by the law. He's 26. I'm betting he's out by 40.

He was going 85 in a 45, with a loaded rig heading into a steep downhill grade, before he claims his brakes failed, and we know he passed on multiple options to stop. His motivation for his actions that directly lead to killing four people, no-one can know other than himself. It can’t matter. At very least his actions showed reckless indifference for the safety of others and the punishment is proportional to the damage done, not what he might have been thinking at the time.

I wonder what the guy who killed all those folks at the Christmas Parade in Waukesha will get as a sentence, since it was a deliberate act.

I had been on that exact section of highway, eastbound a few days prior, and there was a serious traffic jam in the same place. This accident was very chilling for me because of that, and I paid attention to the details of the accident and it made me mad. He claimed that he didn't understand the signs because he didn't read English. He should never have been driving a semi here.

As #2 says, he was going 85 in a 45. That's kind of deliberate.

Shoot... If he had only killed one and run the truck into some water he could have been a Senator.

That’s not a rhetorical question, by the way. Seriously, it’s hard not to wonder how it’s possible that Whoopi Goldberg fancies herself to be an authoritative voice on current events. Quite frankly, I can’t understand how that happened. She says a lot of dumb things. Like on Monday, she went into hysterics about the archbishop of San Francisco banning Nancy Pelosi from Holy Communion in his diocese over her pro-abortion views. “The archbishop of San Francisco is calling for speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving Communion because of her pro-choice stance,” Goldberg noted. “This is not your job, dude.

Out of touch as ever, President Biden celebrated record-high gas prices Monday, gushing that the pump pain was part of “an incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels. “[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.The president then insisted that his administration’s actions, rather than increasing the price of gas, had actually been able to “keep it

It’s time to drop the words “fake news,” “hoax,” and any other descriptor short of blatant and purposeful lies, in reference to Hillary Clinton’s engineering, oversight, and final approval of releasing to the sock-puppet media a preposterous fairy tale that even the worst of armchair sleuths could spot as complete bullcrap.

Former President Bill Clinton defended Joe Biden's dismal poll ratings on Monday, insisting his successor in the White House was motivated less by popularity than getting the job done.The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, an immigration crisis and spiraling inflation have sent Biden's approval ratings into freefall. The result is a Democratic Party fearing the worst in November's midterm elections. But Clinton offered a rosier view, claiming the president ad delivered on his campaign promise to turn the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic and restore the U.S. to its rightful place in the world.

On Friday, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone penned a notice telling Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that, because of her pro-choice stance, she will not be permitted to take receive Holy Communion. Well, this absolutely triggered the pro-baby killing coven on ABC’s The View. And during their Monday show, they accused the Archbishop of somehow violating the separation of church and state by carrying out punishment against a member of the church for violating their beliefs.
