Bikini Bar That Served Killer of Angels Pitcher Nick Adenhart and 2 Others Ordered to Close

• i went there last year with a buddy. we just happened to see this place and stopped in for a beer. the waitress informed us that in order for her to serve us, she needed to hold our drivers licenses behind tge counter. we looked at each other and split. talk about I.D. theft up front and center!

• In Cahoots is where Adenhart and his friends were headed.

• I thought his last drinks were at In Cahoots in Fullerton?

• To: Bikini Bars are Fun. The bar was closed because they violated the laws, NOT a political issue pretaining to Democrats, Republicians or any other political reason. Laws were broken, lives were lost, others ruined. If you believe Bikini Bars are that important, I suggest you seek medical assistance for your dependency and or mental health problems.

• No bar should be shut down just because someone drives away drunk. These encroachments on freedom are why Democrats lost the House this politics season. I'm a Democrat, by the way. Its not about safety, people. Its about freedom + responsibility. Freedom to go into a bar and get trashed and NOT drive home drunk, the way responsible adults do all the time. This idiot/murderer was unfortunate, but he was (truly) a criminal. The bar can't know if a prostitute visits, a child molester visits OR an alcoholic visits. If a prostitute sells her body after drinking at a bar -- does the bar owner go to jail? If a child molester molests a child after drinking at a bar -- does the bar owner go to jail? So why then if an alcoholic drinks at a bar -- why then does only in this case a bar owner go to jail? Maybe they did run illegal operations of gambling -- fine, toss the book at them for whatever their crimes are. But to be shut down because of a political show or because a criminal made criminal actions is not right and its not fair. This is simply the way for politicians to fluff their feathers and Conservatives to pretend like they have family values while lying about freedom and the Constitution. The bar did not kill anyone and neither did any of the other guests who left to home safely. Gallo was the murderer. And he didn't own the bar and could have just as easily been drinking at his own house! Anyway, I remember bikini bars from college and they were fun. We never murdered anyone and always got home safely. And how drunk we got never depended on a bartender breath-a-lyzing us (which would be ILLEGAL if they even tried to pull that kind of a stunt anyway). Either bars are illegal or they are not. If you like drinking wine & beer, then stop making BS rules to punish the owners of the companies that let us do that responsibly. For those customers who are irresponsible -- yeah, let them go to jail. But the bar owners should not be tarred and feathered by people who themselves have probably ordered one too many at least once in their own lives. And, no, that 21 year old waitress was not going to be able to stop you.

• "We're so relieved that this has come to closure," Covina Mayor Peggy Delach told the Trib. Yes, Peggy...it's the bars responsibility that three people are dead, heaven forbid we actually assign fault were it's due:no one forced Andrew Gallo to drink to excess, and get behind the wheel...THAT'S the reason why this tragic event occurred.

• Good catch, Anne. Gallo had a passenger, Raymond Alexander Rivera, who was hospitalized after the crash. Gallo fled the scene but was apprehended a short distance away. A third vehicle was also clipped but it sustained only minor damage and its driver, Esteban Quiroz, was not hurt.

• They're using the Adenhart death as an excuse to close down a shady bar. Covina, stop acting like you're "getting closure", you're being opportunist. I don't blame you. Lord knows shady businesses that try to operate outside their licenses (Massages? That's a strip club, don't play.) should be shut down, but let's call a spade a spade here: Adenhart is just a convenient excuse to shut the place down.

• I thought one passenger in the car Adenhart was in & both brothers who were drunk survived? This says only 2 people survived? (Gallo & Wilhite) I believe the brother fled the scene but he survived, right?
