Richie "I should have a wing named after me in rehab" Sambora was charged with two counts of DUI, but prosecutors declined to file any child endangerment charges against Sambora. Sambora allegedly had a blood level of .13 which is almost double the legal limit of .08.
There were two minors in the car when Sambora was pulled over. Two kids. My feeling is that if Richie was involved in an accident and the kids got hurt, then and only then would they have been endangered. Apparently as long as you just drink and drive, kids in the car are in no danger and the kids on the road with their parents in other cars are in no danger.
From what TMZ was told, the rank and file police officers didn't want Richie charged with child endangerment. Why? Is he going to play a free concert for the cops and say, "thanks." Are they running around on the weekends reliving their high school days by hitting on chicks with big hair and singing "Livin On A Prayer."
What the prosecutors are saying by declining to add the charge is that it is perfectly fine to go ahead and drink and and drive and go ahead and bring the kids along while you do so. "Hell, if you have a big enough car we don't even care if they are in a seat belt or child seat. Strap them onto the hood if you want. We don't want to inconvenience a celebrity by alleging they were endangering a kid. Call ahead next time and we will go ahead and let you have the whole highway just to yourself. Oh, and when the kids become teenagers, go ahead and let them head over to the clubs on Sunset. We know they aren't 21 or anything but we think it is ok for them to go ahead and drink underage."
this sets a bad example.
ReplyDeletethis is really shameful. If Sambora was driving all over the road as alleged, those kids must have been terrified and they were certainly in danger. They should throw the book at him.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who drives drunk with a child in the car is dead to me. It's beyond unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteI have major issues with Tracey Gold for driving drunk with her entire family in the car a few years ago.
Send out the search dogs... Jax hasn't commented for several entries on here!
ReplyDeletebut at least Tracy learned her lesson in the form of an accident and an injured child. Sambora will just hop in the Hummer and go for a few again. No deterant to stop him why shouldn't he?
ReplyDeletehey you gotta work sometimes.
ReplyDeletelol..COIF did not get me.
Good to know... i was worried about ya

Well, I guess it was already no secret that LAPD is a joke...this just sets it in stone...
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that JBJ hasn't handed Richie's ass to him by now. Jon is notoriously hard core about keeping the band's "issues" quiet and out of the public eye. I wonder how many times Richie gets to fuck up before Jon kicks him to the curb? He's a complete asshat and it's criminal that they are letting him get away with the child endangering charge. They better pray that they aren't on the road when Richie is loose.
ReplyDeletehe should have been charged with crimes against plastic surgery
ReplyDeletehe has turned into a hybrid of Mickey Rourke and Martin Short
Too funny Kelly...I would also add Liberace to the mix!
ReplyDeleteThis is shameful, I guess the prosecutors and cops did not want to deal with a real celebrity case! Just wait til the next time, it will be worse unless Richie has learned from this one, but then again will he? I have my doubts. If it was anyone else they would have been in serious trouble, he just got a slap, shame on him and them!
People who drink and drive don't give a fuck. It's that simple. They're not going to learn their lesson because they DO NOT CARE. If they cared, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. Period.
