Nick Adenhart: 1986-2009

For the sake of humanity I hope you dont breed.

Thanks you for taking this story and bringing it way of the damn spectrum of why people are mourning the death of 3 people in the first place. You've made it quite clear that you're just the prime example of why marijuana should be illegal due to the pathetic nihilistic attitude you've developed. You think that you are being anti establishment and radical by being raving prick.

You're messed up man.

There is nothing good about a 22 yr old kid who loses his life senselessly.. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the world made a big deal out of Mother Theresa's death....and no one said she wasn't a hero...or compared the two.

Face it, your comments are abrasive for the sake of being so, and aren't relevant to anything except for shedding light on your over-the-top bitterness towards the way this tragedy has been covered by the media.

I get it. There are far heavier tragedies in this world than the death of a baseball player and two of his friends, but is this your idea of spreading awareness? Weak.

Thats pretty heartless and fucked up. I'm betting you're one of those people who gets some kind of of sick pleasure out diverting the focus of a tragedy onto yourself. Why don't you just post "LOOK AT ME" or "HE DESERVED IT, NOW SOMEONE PLEASE ARGUE WITH ME." Well...it worked.

bd, you CAN'T argue with me, I'm right.

In this case the violator already had a prior dui and was speeding through a red light when he struck another car and killed 3 people. Thanks for adding to the moronic head count on here.

Well you are an asshole. This guy did everything right in his life and it is a tragedy. That is why it is mentioned, thanks for being a grade A dick. Do you call yourself a Liberal or Democrat, cause you talk like a right wing asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will tell you why this guy is not different from other human beings, but very special in his own regards. This cat tapped into the vast well that is the human spirit and realized his call in life. He was fulfilling his own dreams, all the while most probably bringing joy and pride to his own family/friends and undeniably bringing joy and pride to fans of baseball. I believe the loss of young talent, in any form or field, is tragic because the human race is robbed of someone who is very willing to give of themselves and of their talent. Not every 22 year-old can bring joy to so many people, while bettering themselves mentally and physically.

Maybe he is more important than the thousands of others who die everyday, contributing nothing to society. The argument might hold merit. The loss of a homeless man is nonetheless sad due to the unrealized human potential that will never materialize. I can only hope you and I are both so fortunate to bring joy to others while doing something that simultaneously brings us joy.

This guy was a human being who actually meant something to other human beings. You just don't hear about the countless others who don't share the media spotlight from time to time. I believe that is enough to warrant a celebration of his brief life, however one sees fit, don't you, cerealforeal?

Like I said, no disrespect. But yall definitely fall for it.

So what about the death of a child in rural Uganda? Them being born there is out of their hands, and yet their death doesn't deserve spotlight like this guy that was lucky enough to be born in one of the wealthiest nations in the world? Actually you wouldn't be phased one bit if I told you that a kid just now died in Uganda. Shit you wouldn't even want to know his name.

"One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."

I`m with cereal. A good man who had a chance isn`t necessarily better than a good man who never had an opportunity.

I get what you're saying, but isn't that a lot like posting a video about poverty, hunger, and AIDS ravishing Africa, and then someone posting comments asking"how are these people any different from the millions of homeless and impoverished in a America?" That would be an a dick move, would it not?

He played baseball and reached his ultimate dream–a dream that almost every young boy in America has had at one time or another. America can relate with this better than a child who dies in Africa.

Remember cerealforreal, tragedies don't only happen in third world nations; Americas has its own.

I know not only third world countries should get spotlight, but putting so much emphasis one on lucky man... shows you how backward humans really are. This man was lucky enough to make it to the MLB, how is his death a tragedy? Just a few centuries ago, you'd be luck to live up to 30. This guy had an amazing 23 years of life, good for him but his death is no tragedy. How many people are born into the world's worst conditions, and never make it to see the age of 5? The age of 2??? Too many.

I'm not saying this guy is nothing, but I don't get how this outweighs the deaths of people that grow up in the worst possible conditions ever. Too many people in advanced nations take life for granted.

its a tragedy because a promising young man died. This guy was living the American dream he worked hard and made it to something big. You are right people die every day but it dosent make somebody elses death less important if that makes sense

I think I know where you are coming from cereal. I think it just that he was young and going somewhere. If a kid in Uganda was just becoming successful in say Tanzania..

And what exactly have you ever done to mourn a dead child in Africa? Put down the bong and stop trying to act philosophical when it comes to death and social status. You make asinine comments as if anyone was claiming this mans death was more important than anything else. The only difference is that more people are gonna be aware of who this young man was and where he came from. We here on Earth call that identifying. Grow up.

All gone too soon...I do wish the media would acknowledge the other victims. Tragic.

per cent,

The media does acknowledge other victims. We just don't everybody the way we do celebs.

Actually, the local media (and Current has a bureau in LA so idk whats up there) has been very supportive in covering Henry's story and the other girl who died.

R.I.P. Nick Adenhart. It's such a tragedy. I was at the game last May when he started pitching. As an Angels fan, I'm truly saddened by what has happened.

OnePercentofOne, RIP to Andy as well. I am big fan of Nekromantix and it was sad to hear.
