So same maximum sentence as the guy who threw a subway sandwich at an ICE agent? Would you then only get a one year sentence if you instead drove into a group of ICE agents? Hmmm.
I think Donald would love it if someone drove over a bunch of ICE agents. It would give him cover for his very real desire to turn the US military into a domestic police force beholden only to his commands.
The man accused of killing two people and injuring 17 others in Goodyear more than two years ago has accepted a plea deal.
On Thursday, Pedro Quintana-Lujan pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of serious physical injury or death by a moving violation at the Goodyear Municipal Court. He now faces between six months and one year in prison.
In addition to the pending prison sentence, he must pay $2,500, complete 60 hours of community service and submit to quarterly drug testing as part of the plea deal. His driver’s license will also be suspended for nearly six months.
wtf, he seemingly didn’t do it intentionally but you’ll probably get more for stealing from grocery store with 0 victims.
When you victimize a corporation, the state must make an example of you.
Corpos money are more valuable than peasants lives. That’s america and always has been
If someone hits me while I ride my bike and they get off the charges like this. I will do what’s necessary to achieve justice.
And now they’ll pull this comment, call it premeditated, and put you away for life.
Pretty much.
Who ever wacked the ceo showed the way and it was not shit posting about it on public fora lol
With that being said, poli scie 101 dictates that if the state is not willing to provide justice, it is on the citezenry to get it done.
We failed to properly deal with the Catholic church pedos and now we are failing with the pedos running the regime.
Society can’t heal under Hese conditions
I mean getting hit by a car is too often a special kind of life sentence of it’s own.

Hit him back with your bike and get life sentence?
Murder people for free with this one simple trick! Cyclists hate it!
Not for free he had to pay $2,500. So murder costs $1,250
That’s a bargain if you ask me!
“If you want to get away with murder, do it with a car” has been a common transportation advocate’s refrain over in NYC for like a few decades at this point.
I had an instructor in college who was also a cop back in 2005 who told the class the same thing
The only justice here would be changing the road design, driver licensing, and training to prevent this from happening in the future.
The NTSB concluded that driver fatigue was to blame for the deadly collision
Fatigue is a known threat to safety. Fatigue is not discussed during driver training. An understanding of the dangers of fatigue is not tested during driver licensing. Roads can be designed to prevent known human weaknesses like distraction and fatigue from killing people. All of these things can be fixed. These deaths were preventable.
There is no justice in this case. Justice is not punitive.
In my country the punishment for falling asleep behind the wheel is up to 5 years in prison. That is if you don’t hurt anyone.
And our laws are already crazy chill for drivers.
Was the production on the take with that plea agreement. How can two deaths on the road with a perfectly working car be a misdomenor. Not enough evidence smh.
For purely academic reasons… What’s the color of their skin?
Brown. Any follow up questions?
No but looks like criminal justice has broken a glass ceiling
Motornormativity is stronger than racism.
If he had been white he’d have 10 days of community service instead of 1 year and $2500.
Okay this is a hilarious interaction ngl
