I grew up with him. He always liked to fight but I never thought he would use a gun. Welcome to prison (again) this time for life I hope. Now my opinion is you use a gun on a female your a chicken shit. Now you get to rot I hope

What’s really scary? People on various crime groups on FB that lived near where he shot the woman, recall her being chased by him in the alley off H St, screaming for help. He was out to kill someone.

Does anyone else want to see the crime rate for the area broken down by demographics? It seems that 2/3rds of the crime, crashes, and deaths around here involve natives. If we could show that then maybe people would actually start caring about these people enough to help identify the root causes of these issues.

Settlers are not natives and the natives lost that war. Ha Ha you win. The judge all ways wins. He did wrong and did not wont to be judged by his choice.

“her being chased by him in the alley off H St, screaming for help.”. Scary.
Why didn’t somebody help her?

People don’t want to get involved. When I was 21, my fiancé was beating me. I grabbed our infant son and ran down B st Eureka, yelling help. No response. He caught up and took our son. So I stopped and screamed “ HELP, someone took my baby!”. THEN people came out. This was 29 years ago. Sad

I always go outside. I’ve been victim to violence. And I have no problem stepping in and helping someone out. It sucks that we have all separated ourselves from each other. “Oh, she chose to stay.” “ it’s her own fault.” Bullshit. Help each other and two people might still be alive right now.

So people will go on line and report that a woman is being chased through an alley yelling for help, that’s the extent of their intervention. I understand not wanting to get involved but if more people knew that the result of their actions would result in a mob of resilient neighbors and coming for you, some may reconsider crossing the line.

Did anyone see this guy, Ronald Allen Crossland, in Arcata on Saturday the night before the murder?
Im pretty sure I saw in the area of the Plaza/ Arcata Co-Op. Just curious if anyone else did.

I’m honestly shocked that he didn’t murder someone years ago. Ron had the personality of a serial killer and our system failed us. He slashed a women’s face at a bar once and classic Ronnie, “I didn’t do that” in a dumbed down innocent voice. He did the same after he murdered this grandmother. He was a meth user, a pathological liar and now a murderer. I can personally sleep better.
