Quote:Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien truck driver, killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway.

The Punjabi driver who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California made an insane U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike near Fort Pierce that caused the deadly crash.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed Singh failed English and couldn’t read road signs.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent Lt Governor Jay Collins to extradite Singh back to the Sunshine State to face the full force of the law.

Singh has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide, a second-degree felony in Florida. Each count carrys a potential penalty of up to 15 years in prison for a total of a possible 45 years if convicted on all counts.

He also faces an additional manslaughter charge.

There are some, however, who want leniency for Singh despite the three dead Americans on his hands. More than 2.3 million people have signed a Change.org petition asking for clemency for Singh and suggesting counseling and community service instead.

We, the undersigned, urge Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to re-examine and reduce the sentence for a 28-year-old truck driver involved in a fatal U-turn crash on Florida’s Turnpike in South Florida. This was a tragic accident — not a deliberate act. While accountability matters, the severity of the charges against him does not align with the circumstances of the incident.

******

Consider alternative sentencing options, such as restorative justice measures, counseling, or community service, aligning with both accountability and compassion.

Some signers even shared video messages supporting Singh to the petition site.

I partially blame the CA department that issued him the freaking DL. Also, the company that hired him just went out of business. Probably in an effort to avoid the inevitable lawsuits.

What they miss is that somewhere along the line I guarantee he had to lie on forms to get a job he was not allowed to have and one he was wholly unqualified to hold. Also, it wasn’t a simple accident, he killed 3 people by willfully breaking the law by making an illegal U turn on a highway. He could have waited till he came to the next interchange and those people would still be alive.

Did Tanq write this? This is bad. For one, he has NOT been convicted or sentenced yet, so I'm not sure how he is going to get his non existent sentence reduced. You cant get clemency or a pardon if you havent been found guilty.

Also, Singh is charged with 3 counts of vehicular homicide and immigration violations. THose charges align PERFECTLY with the circumstances of the incident. 1) He's illegal and 2) he killed 3 people with a semi truck while performing an illegal maneuver.

Why are people rushing to defend this guy? I've never seen anything like this.

Our political situation these days is one big effed up mess. Is that causing this reaction? I don't know.

I’d wager 100 million people would disagree and want the guy prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and/or deported.

Went to that web site, screw them and their little petition. They were showing the signatures of the people that signed. From what I could tell most of them had foreign last names. Hell most of them probably don't even live in the USA. Like I said screw them.

Okay, that makes a little more sense. Thanks.

Send him to Uganda along with Abrego Garcia. They could be cellmates and exchange ethnic recipes.

If I were a Ugandan guard, I'd have a blast ensuring Garcia got nothing but vegetarian meals and Singh got nothing but all-beef menu items. I'd laugh my arse off daily.

I travel a lot and get to talk to our trucker brothers often. The "sandle truckers" are pretty much universally hated

Those 2.3 million people are yet another example of the reason(s) Trump won the election.

But their votes probably counted (probably more than once).

I get it, but the 'votes' here came from all over the world. You can see the sources.

Does it matter when it comes to the census and electoral collage, house of representative delegates, etc??

Yes, b/c most of them on that signature list aren't even located in the US. They are all over the world. I thought you knew that.

Ah, my bad. Thanks for pointing that out. Always like to be corrected when wrong.

It's fine. I don't do that for fun. I thought you knew it.

Last I read, the great majority of them were foreign sources, so one more online silliness that means nothing.

So the question is, if this guy was a citizen and was charged the same, would they be fighting for him?

Since he's a "marginalized minority", probably.
