It's impossible to drive in Denver without seeing cars with expired plates

The city's given 16,000 tickets in 2.5 months for expired tags

Now penalties are increasing around the state for expired tags and people with out-of-state plates who've lived in Colorado for a while

🧵 The state DMV estimates 92,000 people a year move to CO but don't register their car here

Now that'll cost you $$$. The new rules:

-Must register car within 90 days of moving to CO and show proof
-Will be responsible for back taxes for late registration
-$25 a month late fine

There’s a single intersection in Northern Colorado where you can get gas for under $3.40 a gallon

That’s way less than the state average of $4.78 per gallon

Turns out it has nothing really to do with oil prices

There’s a major price war brewing off exit 240 in Firestone There are four stations at this intersection. Each is going lower than the other

Phillips66: $3.35
QuickTrip/Circle K: $3.53
7/11: $3.87
State avg: $4.78

QuickTrip just moved in last month which intensified competition

People are waiting +30mins to fill up at the cheapest one

A passenger on United 328 took this video of flames shooting out from the engine. Some people told me they said prayers and held their loved ones' hands as they looked out the window. Flight was on its way to Hawaii from Denver. Glad everyone onboard is safe #9News Every passenger I've talked to on United 328 wanted to thank the pilots and crew who safely landed the plane. Without them today could've looked a lot different.

Listen to the pilot make the mayday call: "Just experienced an engine failure. Need to return immediately" #9News

Hello from downtown Denver where far-right militia groups are holding a rally. Far-left Black Lives Matter Antifa groups are holding a counter protest nearby. Lots of police and militia groups out already. Fences seem to be in place to try and separate the groups. #9News The far-right militia groups and far-left BLM/Antifa groups have been active on social media recently telling people to show up to the dueling events. I’ll thread what I see throughout the day here. Follow along #9News

A protest in front of Denver Police headquarters is small but has escalated quickly. About 50 protesters are here right now, many with shields and helmets. A van pulled up and passed out shields to protesters. Protesters are at a standoff with a SWAT team now #9News Someone with a hand axe broke a window at a building across from DPD headquarters. A resident who says she lives in the building came down and yelled at them to stop. “This is not productive” #9News

Aurora Police came on the loudspeaker multiple times to tell people the protest was declared an “unlawful assembly.” I have not heard any correction #9News

There’s a man playing the violin just feet away from the line of riot police. He’s been playing the entire time. #ElijahMcClain loved the violin #9News
