Driver gets 51 years to life for Adenhart death

SANTA ANA – The repeat drunken driver convicted of three counts of
second-degree murder for the alcohol-induced, high-speed crash that
killed Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others last year wept
Wednesday as he was sentenced to 51 years to life in prison.

Andrew Thomas Gallo, 24, who was also convicted of two felony counts
of driving under the influence with injuries and one count of hit-and-
run, will likely not be eligible for parole until sometime in the
2050s.

Gallo apologized to the families of the victims and asked that they
some day forgive him. "I am truly sorry," he said. "I want you to know
I never intended to hurt anyone. I am not a bad guy…"

Some more on this case

"Not only was he driving under the influence, he was obliterated," the
judge said, noting that Gallo was on probation at the time for an
earlier drunk driving conviction. "Mr. Gallo, you have devastated four
families — really five families with your own."

Drunk drivers are everywhere and they never stop. By far the biggest
drug problem we have.

Ostensibly Considered Recognition of an ACTUAL Social Malady?

Recognition of *Alcohol* as THE WORST, MOST DEPRAVED Drug
Afflicting Our Society AND Societies World-Wide?

I have seen recent posts by Saddam in other groups, so I know he/she
is alive and well.

One certainly can't call this a 'light sentence' nor a 'slap on the
wrist', but ...
it's not Life, and it's not Death (which Saddam might have advocated).

And, as long as they have parking lots next to bars, this will be true. I
wonder what they think their customers use those parking spaces for?

Designated drunk drivers?

I used to work at a software house in a storefront in a so-so part of
Long Beach. My boss lived upstairs, and there was a biker bar next
door. They'd fire up a ****load of those hogs when the bar closed,
sitting there idling forever. What are you gonna do, knock over the
first one? (He eventually bought a house in quiet neighborhood).

Yeah....That's why they have zoning laws. If you live in a commercial area,
you've got to expect some after hours noise.

The big thing now is mixed-use development.
http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall...cs/default.asp
Funnily enough, the concept goes back to the early last century when
the storefront I mentioned was first built. The idea is for people to
live and shop where they work so they don't have to drive to the bar.
Funny also how people would rather have a house in the 'burbs, if they
possibly can.

So what happens if you buy a new house in an expensive New Urban
walkable development, and you know there is a neighborhood church
going in down the street, and it turns out there was a secret
agreement between the church and the developer not to let buyers know
it's really a megachurch and your street turns into ground zero every
Sunday? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=liberty+station...ch+smoking+gun

What exactly is the problem here?

If I had to guess, I'd say excessive traffic and noise, but the TV
station didn't say why the developers are being sued.
