Yyeeee hawwwww! Welcome everybody to the wild wild west,where everyday is like Eliott Ness. This isnt news. This is A.P.
Eliot Ness was a crime fighter. He brought down Capone. He was not a gangster. Get your facts straight.
I was wonder what the heck he/she meant.
It’s a rap song but they left out the words that would make it make sense, “let let me welcome every body to the Wild Wild West a state that’s untouchable like Elliot ness” California is the name of the song
From Oakland to Sac-Town, Alderpoint and backdown
Tupac.
Rap songs rarely make sense. The rappers just say whatever rhymes. When they can’t come up with an actual word that rhymes they just make up a a word (but it’s not really a word) that rhymes with whatever lyric they’ve stolen from a real songwriter’s song.
If Elliot Ness were alive today and heard his name in a rap song I’m betting he would round up the posse and go serve a warrant on their rapping asses.
Yep im mental ,ahhhhh die ahhhhh george?
Not just that either Elliot Ness was NOT in the Wild West he was in the 20’s or so in Chicago IIRC!!!
Eliot Ness was one of “the untouchables,” so the line, “a state that is untouchable like Eliot Ness” is describing how untouchable the state is and does not relate to the phrase “wild wild west.”
Crazy f-in lunatic’s!!
mental illnesses suck for neighbors sometimes 🙁 . lucky he didn’t kill her this time . but people think everyone has a right to live . so expect more of this , lots more
It’s fuckin drugs plane and simple
You got that right, prescription pills or the illegal crap all the same
To quote the article “intoxicated neighbor”. He may have mental illnesses but drugs & alcohol are what push people over the crazy edge (sorry, lack of a better word there. Not meant to offend).
Also note the word “possibly.” We don’t have knowledge that the suspect was intoxicated.
You’re right Kym. I totally missed that. That’s for the correction.
I like Humboldt . The Indian river communities are the best because it is the Wild West. True to his word God has made Heaven on earth here in the great land of the Emerald Triangle Humboldt County!!!!!!!!!
Where is Cool Mo Dee when you need him?
Thanks to rump, every mentaly disabled person can buy a gun. Smdh. Unreal.
Seriously? Where did you get your facts a Cracker Jack box? smh.
A Cracker Jack box is where you get the prize. Facts are found on cereal boxes.
lol
Because, unfortunately for today’s kids, the good ole days of prizes in the box of cereal are long gone. Damn cereal police!
He and the Republican delegation rescinded a law that would have prohibited gun purchases by certain mentally ill persons. Check your facts.
So that means every mentally ill person can buy a firearm, read their comment, I know the facts.
That is not true. this is yet another liberal lie. Trump only put a stop to the Social Security Admin from declaring certain seniors mentally incompetent without any due process. The order in no way allows mentally ill people to now buy guns. Stop spreading your liberal FUD.
You’re assuming the guns are, in fact, his, as in he purchased them. Lots of stolen guns, “borrowed” guns, are used in crimes. And, just an aside, why does EVERYTHING get blamed on Trump?
Because That’s how midget minded people think!
I think lately vehicles are more of a threat
Looks like Sharon can buy a gun now!
Crazy is what crazy does .
Hence your offspring issues. You sit here blasting news comments yet you can’t even get your own shit together.
It’s been found! Thanks everyone!
Better get your truck detailed….
Nice truck, thankfully not totaled. 😊
I like the color of the truck. Haven’t seen that on a Toyota.
Ya left the keys in the truck didn’t ya?
This is awesome, where are the coppers when you need them, exactly nowhere in sight!😂😂
Its going to be a bitchin summer and this is just the start of rural Wiley crazy shit.
There was a large presence of law enforcement in the area searching for the man.
Looks tough but that heavy steel bumper and winch is going to destroy the front suspension on that poor little Yote.
Right?? Shoulda put that $3k into getting a proper farm truck. Don’t get me wrong I love tacoma’s but that rigs like a toddler trying to carry a sledgehammer…
