I agree. I remember waking to Ray’s ones night and the town patrol were out in full force with dogs and everything and they were talking to these two small Spanish girls and one guy. About ten patrol.members blocking the sidewalk with their dogs and vests. Man did they all get snooty when I asked them to move cuz their pit bulls and them were blocking the way. I guess being a hypocrite hurts

Your so full of crap . The patrol never blocked streets ! They cleared them . The patrol was a positive reaction to a negative issue .

Wonder if catch and release applies, letting him loose in Eureka hopefully he can find a way from here to where he came from. Downtown Eureka can be scary enough
