I don't usually post local news, but......
anyone living in the USA or anyone who follows baseball knows that this morning (Thursday, it's only 10.45pm here) a rookie baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was killed in a car accident this morning.
Usually, when an athlete departs our world, I really am ambivalent about it, but last night I was at the baseball game and saw him pitch. He looked good.
A promising young lad, 22 years old, on the verge of making a HUGE mark in Major League Baseball.

For whatever reason, this tragedy has upset me......he was hit by a drunk driver who was on a suspended license for a previous driving under the influence conviction...he was just too young.

RIP, Nick Adenhart. I'm glad I saw your last game, and I hope I get jury duty when that cunt that killed you is on trial.

Just Googled him
What a completely tragic waste of a talented young life, all due to drink. Plus his friends as well, and the shit also ran away after hitting them. Stated in the report that he can get 55 years, here's hoping the judge/Jury throw the damn book at him, then he won't be DUI any more for a good while.

Duke,
yesterday, the District Attorney threw the book at him. 3 counts of murder, vehicular manslaughter, felondy DUI with injury, felony DUI with fatalaties.....all kinds of stuff.
Tony Rackaukas is a cock of a DA at the best of times, but this time he came through.
