There are like three or four Toyotas in the parking lot captured by the picture.

The cops should be running those plates.

Was he driving a Toyota when they got him?

Also, it’s hard to tell, but is that a Toyota symbol tattooed on his neck?

Prius would be too difficult for him to drive. He needs something smaller!

I don’t get your way of thinking. Someone gets busted with 200 pounds of illegal weed and you are ranting about their rights. If you see a Toyota, you come unglued. You have serious issues. What I take from you bullshit rants is its ok to commit crimes, but not in a Toyota. Is this correct?

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet, brah.

Park your Toyota around the side, and no tattoos allowed.

Kym should do a story on how many Toyotas are plated in the triangle.
Interview a few cops on what they feel is the number one vehicle associated with property crime and acts of terror.
Then interview trimigrants asking the question, ‘ if you could have any vehicle, what would it be?’.

It could be the story of 2016.

Happy New Year’s everyone!

Report those suspicious Toyotas!

NEWS FLASH!!— Toyota’s are great reliable vehicles…If you check the numbers on plated toyotas in ANY city (I’m talking like population 100k or more) I bet there will be just as many toyotas registered, if not MORE then that are in the emerald triangle. Toyotas are fing everywhere, get a life.

Maybe Toyotas polluted my spring, killed wildlife, clear cut, and brought cops?

Know what you drive too, got stickers and a bill hat? That 707 tattoo?

Well,

Looks like investigative reporter Kym Kemp should settle this in 2016, once and for all.

The people that don’t think Toyotas are causing crime and part of terrorist grower uniform are the ones hating, and we know what you drive.

Kym, do this story and settle this.

Lets put on white pointy hats drive around in fords & chevys n jump those toyota a**es. How dare they pollute our rivers n clearcut our forests. Our Fords n Chevys are never involved in this criminal activity, only good honest legal activity. If you are a disgruntled Ford & Chevy owner & tired of these toyota terrorists come n join us for our 1st meeting at Barry’s place! Our s**t smells better & hope to see you there.

All the homeless are all plyled up on the lawn between McDonalds and Burger King and buy it directly behind the pizza joint it looks like Woodstock situation is getting worse and worse but if you ride without your seatbelt in Fortuna you’re like an axe murderer or if your caught on your cell phone god forbid

Safeway is zombie land late at night and early in he morning. They also congregate on the sidewalk in the shopping center making “art” out of pieces of trash. Some are so high, I can hear their brain sizzle as I walk by.

Brett used to be a kind hearted kid. It’s hard seeing that. I think he still has that goodness in him, just hard to show it when all you have is evil around you. Hopefully he changes after this. And follows in the footsteps of his late great grandfather. His grandfather was a very great man. Also his grandfather did a lot for the fortuna area. Just hope he changes his act, cause he’s going no where fast!

I have three toyotas. One for crime, one for business, one for fun.
Things get complicatedwhen I’m committing fun crimes or crimes for business or on those days when business is fun.

Oh What a feeling !

Seems like these kids born in the 90’s are having a helluva time with it, one more social barometer of a society in free-fall collapse mode…
