From 2015:
"On Nov. 29, Dr. Kirby was on his way back from visiting his friend in Monterey, when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He said it is all a misunderstanding.

"I reached over to pick up a soda out of my car, which is on the other side of the floor, so the car swerved. It did not leave my lane," Kirby said.

According to the King City Highway Patrol, they also found prescription pills in small bags in his car.

"I'm disabled. I have 10 screws and two rods in my back," he said.

Kirby said the breathalyzer showed no alcohol in his system. But because he suffers nerve damage in his leg, and takes pain medication for his back spasms, he failed some of the field sobriety tests.

I bet he’s surprised to find out now who the real racists were, and how he is one of them.

As a young person involved in aviation, there is nothing more dangerous than old geezers piloting aircraft. These assholes are a danger to everyone around them.

One reason you shouldn’t do dangerous things while your mind is preoccupied.

The demise of someone ignorant and stupid enough to basically confuse Republicans and other supporters of the President as Democrats amounts to a Darwin Event. The gene pool rippled and rose upon his departure.

Unbeknownst to me until recently, my uncle had an illegitimate daughter about my age, whom he supported but did not raise, making her my first cousin. She was until recently the mayor or a town in Northern California, San Anselmo. I am afraid she would have agreed with Mayor Kirby. She is a big supported of Adam Schiff.

Where was Shaky going under quarantine? Perhaps Billy realized he needed to social distance himself once in the air?

In reality, this dude Kirby was a megalomaniac, he had to be told to step down from the Mayor's position; and this smells to high heaven of controlled descent into terrain.

May God protect and heal the passenger so the NTSB can get his affidavit.

He was the pilot of a small plane and he was 72 years old. Concepts to consider...Small planes crash a lot. He displayed arrogant attitudes of leftist superiority towards Trump supporters. 72 years old denotes a lazy physiology. The plane may have been defective. The pilot may have been defective. Arrogance goes before the fall. Sometimes it is better to be humble and carefull. On the day Kobe went into the fog, all the other helicopters were grounded. Arrogance can be a problem. From Hill Street Blues, “And Hey, Let’s Be Careful Out There.”
