its amazing how many Fortunians have their vehicles registered in Oregon. whip-its are dangerous, its safer just to squeeze your neck until you get all tingly.
*scratching her head*
huh? are you saying Harrison is living in fortuna?
…and you lost me with the whip-it’s comment. so i ask “huh?”
he was previously arrested for possession of whip-its and take a guess where he is from. I was told you can register your vehicle in Oregon if you own property in Oregon, like your mother’s retirement home in Brandon for example.
Condolences to the family🕊
Whipits are individual doses of laughing gas that the lads in AP seem to adore. You can tell by thousands of empties you find thrown down every ravine within 10 miles of there
To many wippdts on alp rd
Look at him. He is so young. The kind of young that is pretty…his eyes dont even look filled with pain yet. His lips are the color of Indian Paintbrush. How do so many people fall through the cracks. There is no one I would blame…not the law and not you. How many times was he taught that failure is a good choice. When did he decide to use a gun instead of his voice. I can kind of understand that guy that will be tried up ahead for killing the Fortuna fireman who had an affair with his wife. That would hurt.
Killing for money is hard to figure out.
“His lips are the color of Indian Paintbrush.”
Get real
Uh hum!
You must pick up a lot of hitch hikers eh, che? Everyone is so bright and shiny …..
Its the new millennium motives are irrelevant, But I still wonder why? Its a crazy world these days, Always be ready. I blame the video games and cable T.V. for taking our sensitivity.
I blame hard drugs like meth and opiates. I wonder why his face is so red?
Robert Holtsclaw’s family & friends have my condolences. The witness must be pretty traumatized. My sympathy goes out to him as well.
Lived in Humboldt County 57 years all my life and it’s just so scary to see what’s happened to my beloved Humboldt County saddens me
Ditto. I may not have been here as long as you but I feel the same way. I moved here to get away from this.
I was born in garb ,and now I am almost ashamed to say that because of the town it has become .all because of illicit drugs it has become tweek Central. To my recollection it all started around 1975 when the Indica seed was introduced to the panther Gap area and the rest is history
An uneven, mottled complexion is often an indication of a problem. The dude has a neck on him. Poor everybody.
