For the interested here it is from Steve Lehto's channel: Oil Change Customer Sued After Worker Kills Someone w/Car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVXN1oEWKZE That guy also did one on the subject of this thread: Court Orders All ISPs to Block Three Specific Services: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LrieGDMac8 > -Jim P.
