Santa Barbara doesn't have a police problem, Santa Barbara has a drinking problem
Iya Falcone busted for hit and run DUI.... geez...I always thought Iya was a little spacey sometimes, but not a drunk....well, she's friends with fellow boozehound Joe Armendariz so if Joe is a preacher now, maybe he can help her..or maybe she'll use Joe's defense that drinking never interfered with council business!
but I can't fault Iya for smacking her Beamer into a Prius....way to go Iya!!now, to the booze issues....for the practicing alcoholics....the Independent has a few columnists cheering about the joys of Tequila tasting and homemade beer...the News-Press pushes booze, candy flavored cocktails and the Bon Vivant lifestyle...but as Nipper fully well knows, promoting drugs can kill people...
the Funk Zone has changed into the Wine Zone where you can taste wine....then there's the 4 hour Beer Fest at Elings Park in October..see how many beers you can get down in 4 hours??
a former SB Planning Commissioner busted in Beullton for DUI... then we got Tony DeNunzio and Peter Lance blaming the cops for their DUI arrests....(Lance's case was thrown out on mistake by Judge Brian Hill)
the latest blurb in the News-Press was about poor little victim Tony DeNunzio..the NP says he took a beating in a controversial arrest...the News-Press will never learn it seems..and then goes on to say Tony will begin a 15 day electric monitoring for a "battery" case....he choked the 18 year old kid of his girlfriend! then he's got to wear an alcohol detecting bracelet for his DUI conviction..all that costume jewelry must make him very popular in jail!!oh wait, the News-Press says Tony has to wear the bracelet because he failed to report to the County Jail for a separate bracelet issue, according to drunk driver atty Daryl Genis...now, I couldn't make heads or tails of the story which was written by Angel Pacheco..it made absolutely no sense at all!!
the News-Press is completely covering for Daryll Genis who is protecting drunk drivers and trying to blame the cops who catch them! how stupid can you be Wendy and Nipper??
but the taxpayers are footing the bill for Tony DeNunzio's antics...and Joe's, and Iya's, and all the others..this is why we have a Nanny State because there are so many adults behaving like babies!!!
so we got some folks in denial it seems...drinking alcohol will never improve anything..it's a depressant...the more you drink, the downer you get...and in SB it seems to be an epidemic...drinking, drinking drinking....ok so go ahead and drink..but stay away from driving your vehicle until you sober up...my sympathies go only so far..
instead of drinking, you can write a book, you can knit a sweater, you can take a walk, you can take a class, you can embrace the emptiness....and gals, you can play with yourselves in front of me if it helps ya stop the booze...I'm here to help!! really...
but seriously, duck it kick it do whatever you can because it will surely mess things up..the booze will...and to the folks who are serious about staying sober...I salute you!

So here's a question, Mick. With all these fundraisers and Santa Barbara events promoting and featuring alcohol consumption, what are the policies/practices of law enforcement regarding these events? Do the cops station themselves nearby and pull over event-goers who might be DUI? If not, why not?
who am I the Cheef of Poleese?? well, I don't think there's enough cops in SB to catch all the bottle-feeders..but cops have been known to stake out a place from time to time..but the key is the bar tabs..look at the bar tabs..look at Tony's bar tab!!
Right you are Mick.... There aren't enough cops to babysit and arrest all of the drunks in this town. But we do focus on "target rich environments" when we can. These people like Lance, Denunzio and Armindarez just have no personal responsibility. There are so many drunk drivers in this community, we're lucky more innocent people aren't killed.
