I train drivers for one of the (inter)national package carriers. Although the driver may not have done anything illegal or “wrong”, it appears to be something that could have been avoided.
I smell a rat–no way can you kill that many
Of course you can kill that many, especially if you’re a bitter white trash trailerbilly oil field worker with a deep resentment of anything smacking of wildness, environmentalism, or civil rights. In that case, you just swig the last of your beer to take the edge off the meth, take one last big puff on your cigarette, and gun the truck at just the right moment.
yup
