NoTrucksToColorado: Social media and Kim Kardashian West call for justice for a young trucker | Malay Mail

LOS ANGELES, Dec 24 — The internet avengers have struck again. Kim Kardashian West — and over 4.5 million people — are calling for justice for Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos. This young truck driver was sentenced to 110 years in prison for an accident that killed four people when his brakes failed. Since then, the hashtag #NoTrucksToColorado has gained momentum on social media.

Faced with the sentence, deemed excessive by truckers, many protested both on the roads and on social networks. On TikTok, the hashtag #NoTrucksToColorado has reached 10.9 million views and other keywords continue to be created in response to the case. “My truck will no longer go to Colorado for the next 110 years,” reads a video posted on TikTok.A petition has been launched on Change.org asking the authorities to reduce the trucker’s prison sentence or grant him clemency. More than 4.

The businesswoman also took exception to a post from the prosecutor, Kayla Wildeman, after the verdict: “For some reason the prosecutor thought it would be funny to post a photo of a brake shoe trophy she received from a colleague with a plaque? Makes me so sick,” she tweeted.
