Another slap in the face to American victims from Texas’ radical justice system.
A Travis County judge on Tuesday slashed the bond for Solomun Weldekeal-Araya — a foreign national and 18-wheeler driver — from $1.2 million down to a jaw-dropping $7,000, despite his role in a tragic crash that left five people dead, including a child and a baby.
The deadly pileup occurred last month on Interstate 35 in North Austin, involving 17 vehicles and 17 people, resulting in fiery devastation and multiple injuries.
Victims and their families are now pursuing more than $150 million in damages — but for the Travis County judicial system, the perpetrator gets a wrist slap and a ticket to walk free under laughable conditions.

How did so many evil people get to be judges?
Is the judge black?
Weldekeal-Araya, who was initially charged with five counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault, allegedly failed a field sobriety test, with officers citing classic symptoms of central nervous system depressant use — bloodshot eyes, mumbled speech, and swaying.
However, subsequent testing revealed no drugs or alcohol in his bloodstream, prompting Democrat judge Tamara Needles to lower the bond.
Even in elected positions, their stooges are highly supported on ballots.
One of those names, Bay Area Lines LLC, even appeared on a truck inspection record just a day after ZBN was flagged—suggesting a pattern of companies swapping names daily to dodge regulatory scrutiny.
Industry insiders claim that while occasional business name changes aren’t unheard of, daily swaps signal red flags. “This kind of name-flipping is used to reset inspection scores, hide violations, and continue operating dangerous equipment with impunity,” one trucking compliance expert noted.

nope, a white Karen in robes. https://ballotpedia.org/Tamara_Needles
No. She is white.
Interesting. Field “sobriety” tests are 100% BS. I’m curious as to how much later the “subsequent” testing was performed.
Travis County DA José Garza, a far-left activist backed by George Soros-aligned groups, praised the police but had little to say about the victims’ families or the reckless decision to release Weldekeal-Araya under such weak supervision.
Has ANYONE read the Judge’s Order?
Anyone?
It was not by accident.
While any accident that results in death is tragic, the incident happened in Travis County, the Berkeley of Texas. Given that Travis County is a Democrat hellhole, he is not likely to get more than a stern lecture, if that. This man should never have been issued a CDL license but that falls on the Texas Department of Public Safety, or whatever state issued the license. Hopefully, Solomun Weldekeal-Araya can be charged under a Federal statute. He is a native of Eritrea who has refugee status. If not, he should be deported back to Eritrea pronto.
POS
Austin is the anus of Texas.
I predict Solomun Weldekeal-Araya will mysteriously disappear as soon as he gets out of jail, and will never be tried.

Especially in TEXAS lately! There’s so much bad liberal crap happening in Texas and it’s very dispiriting.
The family of the killer has a GoFundMe up. They’ve raised $586. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-solomuns-familys-future
I work in a field where traffic safety is of paramount importance. I’m often ostracized because I’m strongly opposed to DUI laws. Cases like this illustrate why I believe this. If you are driving a motor vehicle and you cause a major crash with multiple fatalities, you should be treated the same under the law regardless of whether you were drunk, sleeping, or just ‘effing retarded.
