Crazy all over .reodell will move up the ranks to trashiest town in calif
Are you kidding me? “Trashiest town in California??” Here are the stats:
Violent Crimes per 1000
Eureka 5.79
Fortuna 3.82
Arcata 3.1
Rio Dell 2.35
Ferndale 2.17
Per capita stats do not account for all factors that attribute to more densely populated areas having higher rates of crime.
Or the fact that fortuna and Rio dell residents go north to participate in their thieving ways. Constantly see this in the booking logs and the net…
Just pour some gunpowder in the wound and light it. Cardiraized and sealed in one pop.
1st i suggest you both chug as much whiskey as quick as ya can!
them ya gotta givem’ a bullet to bite down on.
then the “pop”.
then the cop…
How the hell are guns getting into the wrong peoples hands!!! It just keeps happening!!
That’s curious. In this instance, how are you certain that a gun was in the hands of the wrong person?
It was a attempted home invasion, one of the suspects got shot. The other one took off.
Attempted?!? Home invasion? It WAS a home invasion and he got what he deserved! Guns in the RIGHT hands in this situation!!!
If either of you would like to contact me at [email protected], I would like to understand more of what happened.
Old Man looking out for himself. Good for him!
He won’t try that again. At Least not as long as the older man has the gun.
All guns should be locked in a safe, but the one in your hands defending the safe and what yours.
Here, here!
If he dies, that would be the first official homicide there like ever right?
Self defense isn’t homicide.
Any death at the hands of another is a homicide. It’s whether or not it’s was a “justifiable homicide” is always the question
Incorrect. Homicide is the killing of a human. There is justified homicide, and criminal homicide.

Good to hear the hospitalized suspect was taken into custody.
its the wild wild west…
No one is dead. He was shot in the leg inside the house he was stealing from. He was treated and then went to jail. Thieves should not mistake elderly people for easy targets. Not always the case.
Bada Bing!!yeah ask the guy who tried to steal my purse who got kicked,ouch.Just because we’re old don’t mean wereDEAD!!!watch it
rio dell hasnt had that much problems
