On its self , but nothing being done about the source of the plague that is running rampent in our beloved humboldt I hope the lady servIves her injuries
Amen. Trump ’16. Fence at the border make this country safe, sane, and secure. Do it now or do it later. Change I would make from “Make America Great Again” would be to “Somebody’s Gotta Fix This *#*@.”
Youre ignorant if you think a big fence and prejudice against immigrants will make “America safe again”
Trump 20FUDGINGNEVER
Uh, a fence isn’t going to solve the meth problem either.
An underground pipe.
Your right. Generally the filth of fortuna does their crime in other cities… this must be a special breed of fortuna dumbness…
Mogtx, plenty is being done, every time they find someone with a large amount of meth or Heroin the Court let’s them go.
This place is beautiful
My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family~
My 2.5 year old daughter was murdered in Fortuna by a so called properly raised native. There’s no excuse for violent crime and no revised version of prejudice will fix it. Get real, people … crazy IS crazy!!!
This story makes me sad.
Sounds like the FPD has her name anyway.
Your silly if you think the meth is coming from across the border, it’s probley getting made next door to you or someone you know. It’s a shame that we as a culture try to blame everything on immigrants when we are the ones killin eachother
Pretty sure you’re wrong. Its coming from mexico. If there were meth labs here you would at least hear of a bust every once in a while…ive never heard of any. Only hash labs blowing up.
How many stabbings does this make in the past month? I hope she make a full recovery and blessings to those who attended to her.
Why not give the public more info Fortuna P.D.?? seems a lot held back why.
Someone asked a similar question on the Fortuna Police Department’s Facebook page. Here’s how the department responded:
Thanks Oliver Well they sure have NOT asked for the publics help either .
Hugh u think its so no fence move ur sorry ass down there where u belong
