Seems like half the people driving around Humboldt are felons, on criminal probation or have warrants. No wonder there’s so much crime. Keep these people locked up!!

Im a convicted felon but also a father, an employee,and a small business owner
I pay taxes, attend local events and travel near and far in this beautiful land. I have a Mexican wife and beautiful children and have paid for my mistakes. I’m not on a parole or probation. I raise more food than anyone commenting here.. so why does everyone judge felons? A felon is not a bad person. Get real.

Your one of very few.
To me felons are scummy thieving fucks that dont care to change their ways, ever.
You made a bad choice and got caught. You live a decent life and have a good heart.
These bastards in the picture chuckle and wouldnt mind helping a kid tying off to shoot up to get a few bucks. And you dont go near that or would never think to.
I think what people here really mean to say scumfuck dirtbags when referring to guys like the ones depicted.
It just so happened they had a felony warrant is all. We all know what we see and most of them have it written on their face and decent folk can see it from a mile away.

It is NEVER to late to find a new path in life, most addicts don’t want to be addicts. It takes getting past the fear and the walls you have built around you (your cocoon) to reach out for help. Is it going to be easy? No. Is it going to be worth it ? Yes.
I encourage anyone who thinks they have a problem ask for help, there are folks exactly like you who know what it’s like to be in your situation and they won’t judge or stigmatize you.
