The city and police need to step up there game on this transient problem.
Or go for gofast( cristal).
Keystone cops feeling about the Eureka PD.
But our police chief says Eureka doesn’t have problems.this is a problem!!I’m not feeling safe in EurekaI
Yuh, this stuff and all the accidents and I’m scared to drive back down to Mendo World lately.
Police intimidate victim
back in the day this was not a problem because people did not rely on the police to solve their issues they dealt with it themselves, of corse now if you try that you’re the one that gets arrested. but that’s what you get when you rely on the state and federal government to solve your problems for you.
Criminales take policemans job from them. Like México.
BASTA! ENOUGH! To tolerate this ongoing crap is called enabling, and it is now leading to stabbings, robberies, gang-banging, and death. Screw a bunch of warm fuzzies – go in with a D8 and level the place, and keep on leveling until you hit the county line! (Or at least the end of the Mall). I don’t think this would stop the atrocious activities that occur minute by minute at the ‘playground’ but if the ‘playground’ was 5 miles down the way, we wouldn’t have to hear about it as often. They can all stab each other several times a day if they live out of our jurisdiction, and we won’t worry so much about it coming to the streets in the city.
When I lived in Oceanside, CA, many years ago, there were two main homeless camps: one on the bed of the San Luis Rey River, on the north end of town and the other in a greenbelt in the middle of town. Around three hundred people stayed in each one. There were some complaints about homeless people and the City bulldozed both camps, wiped them clean. Six hundred people found themselves on the streets of Oceanside and the housed residents were appalled. “Where did all these homeless people come from?” they said. Well, they came from right under their noses but they had been, for the most part, invisible up until then. So bulldozing is not such a good idea unless you don’t mind them camping under your house or in your garage.
