The contract driver behind the wheel of a Regional Transportation District bus that ran through a stop light, hitting two vehicles and killing two people near downtown Denver, was sentenced to probation Thursday.

Tideneykiyalesh Hawariyat, 30, of Aurora, pleaded guilty last November to three misdemeanor charges -- two counts of careless driving resulting in death and careless driving resulting in injury.

Witnesses said that the driver of the city bus failed to stop at a red light and T-boned a Volkswagen Rabbit and a pickup truck. The driver of the Volkswagen, Dustin Peletier, and his passenger, Carla Miranda, both 29-year-old Denver residents, were killed at the scene. Ten passengers on the bus and a passenger in another vehicle were hurt.

OK, those two dead people were a mulligan. Just don’t do it again, Mr Multi-syllable...we’ll be watching you!

What a miscarriage of justice for those families.

From the name of this fool it was probably a case of mooslim-anger-icide.

Miss Multi-syllable and it's not hard to understand why Judge Claudia Jordan handed down the sentence she did. I doubt she would have been as compassionate with a caucasian defendant.
