I dont get it .Residents asked to shelter in place ?that statement makes no sense to me. There is no shelter thete that I don’t know about .Maybe someone can explain it to me because I’m at a loss .
It’s bureaucratic language for “Stay where you are “.
Stay where you are??
What if you are standing on the corner of Kenmar and Kenwood Roads?
Then you get out of the way. In other words move it or loose it.
Lol! Figure it out
Shelter in place. Stay in your homes. Stay where you are. Don’t go outside.
it means don’t go outside.
But, but it’s nice outside today!
Stay in your personal shelter (your house) don’t come outside!
Shelter in place is a term that means stay indoors, preferably in a room with no windows, for protection against possible gunfire.
Means to stay in your home
That means keep your ass in the house mark LOL
And, what about if you just happen to be there, but you are not a resident? Does the mandate not apply if you aren’t a resident?
Seriously???? If you’re not a resident of that home and you’re just visiting….it means to stay where you are unless you want to get shot!! Use common sense people.
Its like a school lockdown. Except your on lockdown at where ever you are currently at until they clear the situation.
Shelter in place means to stay in your home until the coast is clear.
Shelter in place: seek immediate shelter in the place you are at.
It does not mean your home, etc it can mean your friend’s home, your vehicle, a local business whatever-get to shelter in that place immediately.
Go to your local gun shop ie Grundman’s or Wildwood saw shop and asked to be signed up to be trained in the use of a firearm. When you feel competent you can go out and buy a brand new .45 cal auto pistol with 230 gr. hollow point bullets. Then you can just sit in your house with your gun on your lap and wait. You are protected and safe
Hmm, it means that you should grab your camera and run outside and try to locate the source of commotion. If you find it you should try to get as much of the action recorded as possible. I suggest you provide a running commentary on the action and occasionally state that “this shit is going on youtube” or “oh my god, oh my god” or even “world star, whirl star”
Don’t leave your house don’t answer your door shelter yourself to avoid harm
Has anyone mentioned what shelter in place means?
My goodness!
Golly!
Gosh!
Stay or get out of the way and stay that way until further notice. Boom.
What about shelter in space?
Shelter in place means “Don’t attempt to leave your house”
Why, then, don’t they just say “Shelter in Home”?
When something doesn’t make sense…GOOGLE IT.
👍👍 right!
If you need attention, get a puppy!
it’s not rocket science.
Shelter in place during combat situations or threat situations means to stay inside, take cover, don’t be out in the open, don’t be a dumbass and walk into line of fire, don’t wave your arms saying lookit me lookit me I’m a big ass target
What it means is, that if you can’t figure out, go outside and let natural selection happen!
At 1145, roads are still closed off.
Really? Use common sense, or do you have any?
Humboldt county sherrif department swat team has a house surrounded right around the corner of my house kenmar and kenwwod and using the loud speaker tell someone to come out with there hands-on there heads..
Where is the house at?
my cousin lives a block away
How confusing. First they say “Shelter in place!” Then they say “Come out with your hands on your heads!”
I live on Kelli Way and can hear the Swat Team telling Christian Lewis to come out of some house with his hands up. Not sure on the first name. Does anyone know exactly which house it is?
Would that be the the young guy who was out poaching deer, was approached by CDFW game warren, took shots at the warren, and ran?
I wondered, too.
Still trying to get the individual out on their own.
Please, please, common since. What you were born with. Where you feel safe stay there.
OMG you folks are comedians. You must live for this kind of situations. Your hilarious.
There is enough crime happening around this area to do a “Live PD” show.
Omg, I would love to see a local version of the cops show. We have so many characters around here, that would just be a trip!
