Hmm my only other guess would be maybe staples? Kind of a shot in the dark though lol Best Buy might be the move unfortunately

I know the best buy in norwalk has some audio equipment like that. You could probably check online to see if they have it in the store

The only place I could think of would be target possibly.

You can always check online and see what they have in store to save the trip

Will do, thanks for the tip.

I knew the guy. Was a member at LA Fitness where I work. Literally had a full conversation with him at my desk days before the accident. Tragic. Prayers for the families.

At least he’ll be going to jail for a long time. Man, what a way to absolutely ruin your life. How hard is it to not drive when drunk?

Where did I say that the Norwalk victims didn't deserve justice?

The cases would be comparable if the Norwalk driver had run away from the scene of the accident and hid from police.

My point is the delay has to do with the due process of law. If you compare the list of charges they are comparable cases.

Also who cares if the victims were passengers or pedestrians, all of them deserve justice.

This case is not very comparable. The Norwalk crash was a single vehicle in which the people that died were passengers in the car that crashed. The driver also went to the hospital. In the Stamford case, the driver ran over two pedestrians, fled the scene, and hid from the police. A fatal hit-and-run is enough to arrest someone. Charges can be added later.

There was another fatal crash in Norwalk in November and it took the police one month to arrest the driver, who happend to be hispanic.

If you are arrested, you have the right to go before a judge and challenge the legality of your detention (habeas corpus). The police can't just hold someone indefinitely while they figure out what to charge them with. And in cases like this, it is really important to get the charges right because there are no do-overs (no double jeopardy) if the police screw it up.

Better to wait a bit to make the arrest than to have the driver get off on a technicality.

I agree. I have no idea why he wasn’t arrested the night of the accident. Fleeing the scene of a not only an accident, but one where two people died. I’m sure they could tell/administered a field sobriety test to know he was drunk. Class/race privilege or bad police work, something wasn’t right there. Glad it looks like they have him dead to rights though

That would be fine for him to post bail, but to not get arrested? Reeks of class / race privilege. If he had to go to a bail hearing, then they could have placed restrictions: e.g. no driving, no fucking around out of state, etc.

OTOH, the article says it is not clear if he was allowed to be out of state, so maybe we don't know all of the details.

Although I agree with you he should’ve been arrested on site for DD at least and several other things, he would’ve bailed out the next day. The accident analysis took awhile and they wanted to make sure their ducks were in a row before going ahead with charges that will stick

I think you aptly explained why it took a month. Which isn't that bad all things considered.

24 year old from Greenwich driving a 2022 Mercedes.

Probably the first time he's experienced any consequences in his life.

Good, but why does it take one month to arrest someone who mowed down two people at high speed, fled the scene, and was caught hiding to evade the police?

Cool

Taco Bell obviously

From personal experience in the magnet schools for middle and high, I had a few good teachers, but plenty of awful ones, some who did not even bother showing up to class or who simply put on movies. And the administration was not very active in trying to prevent bad teachers from being that way or active in understanding the student population at all, often absent themselves. My high school was very clean, and the diversity was excellent, but I not only felt unchallenged, but like I was wasting my time. The magnet schools, at least, also really underappreciate and undersupport the arts, in my experience.

Partially as a result of teachers who, when present, often have little respect for their students and the intelligence that they already have or in their efforts to be friends rather than intellectual role models, the students stop caring; my high school’s unofficial name was “fake school”. Most of the learning happened on my own outside of class for my own interests. There are lots of great teachers and great students and great administrators, but they are surrounded by opposites.

We’re from Texas so we like to think we know good tacos. Ha! Glad to see some agreement though. :)

Like taco project as they pour a darn good margarita with a nice selection of tequilas and while delicious those taco prices are a little steep but the adage you get what you pay for rings true. Stamford has some great choices but if you get a chance when it gets warmer do the drive to New Haven for Food Truck Paradise on Long Wharf. Its worthy of the drive.
