  2. …if Democrats were meant to be pilots they’d build aircraft seats with microphones in them, since they always talk out of their ass…

    …perhaps that was the issue, he had to talk to ATC and was, uh, “repositioning”…

  3. …I would expect Democrats to be terrible pilots anyway…

    ATC: November 666, right turn and climb to FL 200.

    DemPilot: I’m NOT turning RIGHT.

    ATC: November 666,you have traffic at your 12 o’clock and 9 o’clock, turn right NOW.

    DemPilot: I RESIST you. NO ONE tells me to turn RIGHT.

    (Background TCAS warning) TRAFFIC TRAFFIC PULL UP whoop whoop PULL UP)

    DemPilot: NO, EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF MY WAY! I IDENTIFY AS IMPORTANT!

    ATC: Delta 862, IMMEDIATE descent to avoid traffic on your nose.

    DemPilot: WHAT? YOU LET THEM GO DOWN! IT MUST BE A TRUMP CONSPIRACY! I’M GOING DOWN, TOO!

    *Horrendous midair crash*

    Media Report: “Hundreds die in two airplanes and on the ground as a result of Covid-19. How this was caused by Trump’s refusal to listen to science and the Governor’s incrrased restrictions on leaving your house as a result, next at 11.”

  4. Doctors crashing their airplanes is so frequent, it has become cliche. There is something in the psychology of doctors that make them think that since they have mastered one set of skills, they are automatically capable of mastering another. In other words, they aren’t as smart as they think. This guy is a perfect example. RIP.

  5. Sacramento needs to keep this sort of rabble within it’s own borders. Auburn and Placer County aren’t the place for this kind of self destructing, incendiary hater.

  6. Sorry for his friends and family
    There were folk that loved him.
    That being said…
    He is the one in the KKK
    Kalifornia Krash Klub

    Lazlo was in the California Conservation Corps in Auburn out at the end of Cristian Valley Road at Placer Fire Center, way back in the last century.
    It was a great place back then, wonder what its like now.

  7. “Unlike Epstein, this jerk did kill himself.
    Prove me wrong.”

    Gravity killed him. You are wrong.
    Placer county, like El Dorado county, is extremely conservative. I’m shocked this guy got elected.
