Good deal!!! Now go find HIS supplier, get ALL that shit out of here & the Meth as well!!! If they would put half of the time & money into cracking down MORE on Meth & Smack this county would be a LOT more pleasant to live in!!! As opposed to those growing the “Heathen Devil Weed” without paying through the nose for the privilege!!!

‘Bindle’. There’s a word I haven’t heard in a couple decades.
Wonder where the “tip” came from. A ‘wronged’ client or business associate? An angry ‘ex’?

Bindle, aint heard that used on the outside. Tips means rats been squealin. ‘Tips’ usually come from the last mule who got busted hauling, the next level dealer who got busted, or the combo all of the above platter.

From what I have heard; Some, if not all of the ‘H’ found here locally is both grown, made, and processed here locally, Del Norte, Trinity, Humboldt and Mendocino Co. Is this true and have others also heard this?

No. It takes acres and acres of poppies to make 1 oz. of morphine base, much less heroin. Pounds would take huge fields..The poppy fields would get spotted.. Most comes in by Mexican cartels where it is grown and made in Mexico..

Heroin and meth Supply of any sizable amounts are not produced locally, this shit is coming through Mexico from South America! that’s why every time you see a bust with more than half a pound of heroin it’s always a Mexican, with very few exceptions. Yes I know plenty of white Tweakers get busted with Heroin too, that’s because their users and low levels Street dealers not suppliers.
This is one of many reasons why we need stronger border security on all of our borders, it has absolutely nothing to do with “Mexicans” it has to do with the fact that Canada and Mexico are different countries then the United States. They are the only two borders the US shares with another land mass and all kinds of things are coming into this country illegally through those two borders. From drugs to illegal weapons, known terrorists and hardcore gang members, not to mention Millions of people looking to sign up for government subsidies. How ever most of it mainly comes through Mexico’s borders because Canada actually gives a shit about their border. Mexico actually provides transportation from their southern border to the US border for immigrants looking to enter America illegally.

Mexico does not provide transportation for immigrants from the south to the north. They don’t do much to prevent “rich” immigrants from making their own way. Why do you think the darn coyotes transporting undocumented kids to the states offer X tries for Y dollar deals? Because it usually takes more than one try to make it past the enforcement in Mexico.

The poe immigrants fleeing violence in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala get picked up and sent back, to a violent death. by gang members sending a message to anyone who dare run. We gave Mexico million$ to step up enforcement in the south to keep the politically embarrassing immigrants from making it to the US border. This was started under the Obama administration and continued under Trump.

Mexico’s government issues travel visas to immigrants looking to illegally cross the United States borders, they hand out pamphlets that gives step-by-step directions on how to do it and then they allow them to pile on a train that takes them from the southern border to the northern border… coyotaje do not guide people through Mexico, they guide people from Mexico through the United States border into the Southern United States.

The US military is working hard every day to protect the production of heroin in Afghanistan. Production is up 300% since the start of the US occupation. They are not going to give up that market to some rogue weed growers in Cali.

The dark stuff that makes its way into CA is from Mexico. Many farming villages left the weed market when prices plunged a few years ago. They increased their production of heroin, meth, synthetics.

What, precisely, in this article, gives you the idea he is an “Illegal Immigrant”, besides his obvious nationality???

You meant of course his Latino name, not his “obvious” nationality, because the whole of your chastizement is that he may not be an illegal or, in this case, in violation of the terms of his visa by engaging in criminal activity. So, unless he is an American citizen, ICE is exactly who should be called. Too bad that citizenship is not routine information supplied by the police. Might end many a fruitless discussion.

If you are going to climb onto the horse of virtue, you best know which is the proper horse.

Supply and demand
We wouldn’t have such a problem if we didn’t have so many junkies living amongst us.
If they don’t get dope from the cartel, they get pharmies from the locals.
Don’t feel sorry for Junkies, get rid of them!
They’re the problem.
No demand, no need for the supply!

Focus on Hard drugs, you have our full support!! This is the start. FOLLOW THE SUPPLY ROUTE BY FOLLOWING THE MONEY…. Time for the Sheriff Department to divest energy from the Humboldt “Pot Busts” and put the same 10 agents to work infilterate the local HEROIN METH & PROSTITUTION MOTELS, INFILTRATE THE LOCAL BAR ” HARD DRUG SCENE”… this crowd is busy from San Fran to Oregon all along the Highway 101 corridor, bars and cheap maggott infested drug hotels, look at Ukiah and Willits and Garberville and Eureka. Every community along the 101 corridor has a prostitute meth and heroin motel. Focua attention here, these motels and bar scenes are why nice people, visitors and tourists do not stay longer than a night, drug scenes with heavy drugs scare pot heads away from our Cannatourism, start running plate checks and running background checks on who checks into our small towns, use a database to track heroin dealers working our local motels and bars. Put undervovers in all the bars on the weekends enabled by body cams and id software to identify hard drug dealers selling heroin and crack and meth and molly. Go get them, follow the money, bust their suppliers, promise them easy time for turning over their suppliers. The sheriff department had full community support to end these hard drug dealers careers and lock them up to stop their poisoning of our youth, young people, and communities. Focus the Manpower on cleaning up these cracked out communities. You have our full support.

Good take these jerks down. I work in public health and I’m so saddened by all of the young local addicts in all of our Northern California communities…SIGH our youth are just being trashed by these creeps from outside the area. People that come in selling heroin they decimate communities with drugs. But could really care less what happens to the future of that community. All these babies born to mothers using, babies dying from mothers neglecting them, Daddy’s dying from overdose, not working because all they can do is lay on the bed all day it’s just ridiculous. Thank you LEO’s for getting this s*** off the street keep going!!! ❤
P.S. look at his nose it looks like somebody’s whacked him in the head quite a few times in the past.

Finally the Sheriff Department is puttimg manpower on the Heroin Epidemic, for too long all the resources went to eradication while our teens and young adults were recruited by meth heads, heroin junkies and polly poppin rave promotors. Our young people were put on the back burner by our county and the local task force- Sheriff Department. So many young people on oxycontim, meth, heroin, pills and molly. The time to act is now, not in another generation, how many young lives lost because the county wastes law enforcement resources going after pot while completely ignoring the meth and heroin elephant standing in the communities. First place to start is the Meth Motels and Heroin, Cocaine and molly bars. The same criminal gangs you find in these bars are the same ones selling the hard drugs, review bar video tape, use undercover infiltrators, promise easy sentencing for prosecution of suppliers. Work the chain all the way up to the inporters, which very likely with heroin is the US Government.

Hypercriticism not needed Namaste. Oftentimes these posts are passionate. Folks trying to get their opinions heard, their perspective seen, their subject known. Pointing out the small stuff is part of the problem excessive criticism (especially of children) squashes motivAtiOn, breeds mental illness and really solves nothing in the long run. NAMASTE ❤ Thank You Kym! ❤

Then..hypercriticism causes poor self esteem and the babes blossom into addicts. Resiliency is a nurtured trait the majority of the crowd is lacking. Sure bet this guy”s childhood was whacked. Grew up with little options and made sure in the end other folks suffered too. Coming full circle. Love and support can prevent addiction. ❤

California doesn’t care if hard drugs come across the border…they want open borders.
It’s more important to ban straws and cow farts. making us the joke of the whole Country.
Now the Nanny State wants to tell you what your child can drink at a Restaurant.
You know…. they are on top of the important stuff, not little things like heroin, meth, etc.
They only go after pot cause they can confiscate a lot of assets and impose a lot of fines, fees and penalties. An illegal bringing in heroin brings nothing to take, no home, truck, land, just the shirt on his, her back and a backpack.

These problems have left us in the position where a responsible adult with no drug history can no longer get a couple Vicodin for an abscess tooth, while druggies flood the streets.

I was Born and raised in California but I hardly recognize this State anymore. I’m glad I’m not a youngster.

By taking the drug away are we getting to the root of the problem? Why is it an epidemic in the first place? Just because you walk into a candy store does not mean you have to eat the candy. Perhaps addressing the societal problems would help too.
