[UPDATE] Convoy Near Willow Creek This Morning

ConvoyThere are multiple reports of Humboldt County Sheriff’s vehicles convoying with Department of Fish and Wildlife near Willow Creek this morning. Lt. Ernie Stewart of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that deputies from his department were in the Willow Creek area yesterday and presumably this convoy is from them also but we were unable to confirm that before publishing.

Today there are reports of between 10 and 20 law enforcement vehicles, one pulling a chipper, that are east of Willow Creek off of Horse Linto Creek Road on what a local describes as River Access Road just south of Coon Creek.

Lt. Stewart promised us information on yesterday’s raid later today and we’ll ask about today’s convoy also when he has some time to answer questions.

Finally! Let’s see Willow Creek get a week’s worth of action. Btw- I hope they heavily audit the production and distribution from Emerald Scamily’s industrial farms. And if they find that they are back-dooring product into illegal sales I hope they revoke their licenses and fine them into bankruptcy. That would be proper.

You do know this is dry snitching. I can’t stand anything about them, but I’ll die before being a narc. Either grow some balls and do something or shut up with dry snitching.

Ha Ha Ha! No thank you. I love your concept of “dry snitching”. You probably think we are all on the “same team”. We are not. “Grow some balls and do something or shut up…” Ha Ha Ha! That is exactly the lame mentality that has allowed our county’s mom n pops to get run over and demolished by corrupt and greedy greenrushers. I have balls. Bigger than yours. I post here because even though its just an anonymous post with no weight to it…perhaps if others can see it and agree with their own observations what is happening then maybe we can get some attention and justice. I guess you think it would be cool for me to track down [edit] and punch them in the head? Ha Ha Ha! I would get an assault charge and they would continue scamming out our neighborhood. That’s how it works in the real world, bro. Yes- it’s weird how we all now hope that the authorities will clean up our mess. But I’ve been advocating for eradication of mega-grows for over a decade. I am not on the “same team” as the greedrushers who came here for the loot and the drama and the baller lifestyle. I never was on the “same team” as them just because they grow weed. That’s pathetic.

None of the legal growers I know are trying at all to sell legally. They sell to whoever calls up with cash. Maybe this year they will try. The state will be able to figure out that you have a legal grow but no product in the legal pipeline (BOE cannabis sellers #). When they figure out that growers are diverting to the black market they will call in the chipper guys to come and grind up your biz. Snitching is not required, these fools will snitch themselves out.

Its all illegal according to the supreme law of the land, every leaf. Where you want to take it from there is up to you, but there is a path for all within the definition of legal as well as illegal for growing. Environmental messes left as a result are both illeagal and immoral.

I agree! Well, not about the chippers being a good thing in willow creek heehee.. I don’t think anybody likes the chippers being in their ‘hood, but I definitely support the cracking down on these supposed legal farms, who are just black market enterprises who paid off the county to leave them alone. I don’t like it… and I think the county is going to have to answer some questions if they are implicitly allowing an illegal enterprise to operate under their nose with no oversight.

Anyone else notice how terrible the plants look at emerald family farms? You can see the mite cloud swarming over practically… all yellow and burned looking.

Sorry but Green Diamond was no longer working at Coon Creek when I moved here and there was lots of water there so if it is dry now it could be from all of the grows up the hill or all of the well drilling that took place in the last couple of years.

I think lost coast outpost should do an article on the legal grows that still dont pay there employees and burn them. The legal growers that threaten to kill there employees if they go after them for payment. The truth should come out. Most of these growers are big pawn shop owners here in humboldt. Sad.

The Christian definition means treating your neighbors as you wish to be treated. If I was a water stealing thug who treated my neighbors badly, I would wish for someone to come along and straighten me out before I lost my soul. Anyone who works on being a good neighbor has a perfect right to expect something similar from their neighbors. There is no requirement to love evil or the people who haven’t given it up.

You’re confusing yourself with God. What the Bible says about government is in Romans 13- 1-7 “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.”
And it gets worse! “The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.”

Darn Bible is never quite what people think. It is most frequently about self examination and self understanding first . Then, having done that, you might start to think about other people’s understanding. So until Trump is proven to have been a law breaker and removed from office by legal methods- not just your fantasy that since you don’t like him, he must be- don’t look to the Bible to justify your own lawlessness. You are no Jesus.

weed is legal, so that takes away the “doing evil” — Jesus was a rebel (and a hippy?) who wore long hair and sandals. He was for the downtrodden and meek. He liked the poor better than the rich. He was tolerant and kind. “Doing wrong” is so confusing post prop 64 — at least with 215 the law was clear that medical was OK. Now, there is a whole host of legal issues, but it is not “illegal” so therefore not against God.

Judging folks for weed is against Jesus. Though shall not judge. We already “pay unto Caesar” what is his in the form of sales taxes, which are way too high in CA already.

I’m agnostic about trump, but I admit I like that he defends Christians and weed users at the same time — he is pro-Christ and pro-pot. I think there are a lot of faithful Christians who feel the same way. Jeff Sessions, on the otherhand, has mis-interpreted the bible with his view of pot and of minorities.

Anyway, Jesus hates nazis too… even if it’s just the local “Pot Nazis” who complain about their regions only viable economic crop.

Hating isn’t a good trait. But taking control of our neighborhoods is a good concept I think. I have a family and want to live a decent if somewhat outlaw existence. I don’t have any patience for these organized crime groups of people from other countries or others parts of the country moving in and shitting all over my neighborhood. If we had done a better job of keeping them out we wouldn’t have so much heat on us now.

I do hope you know that not everyone that moves here from out of state is here to exploit the community, resources, and land. I am someone who migrated from elsewhere 5 years ago without the intentions of getting rich quick. In fact I left a career where I was earning more to live in this beautiful region of the pacific northwest because money isn’t everything to me. Money comes and goes but quality of life in the urban centers is poor in my opinion and is not conducive to my overall health. Obviously the greenrush attracted alot of unconscious and greedy slimy people, this cannot be debated. Where there is a quick buck to be made the degenerates will come. As a young man who lives in the same community as you who migrated to northern Humboldt to find a better quality of life I remind you that not everyone here is apart of that greedy demographic and that new faces can bring alot of fresh energy/inspiration into the community.

I would hasten to remind you that the greed you mention is now encouraged by the new law, prop 64, and has turned the “green rush” into a scheme to blow it up even worse, by greasing off politicians. Now the police look the other way when they drive past 7 acre grows to bust mom and pop with more than 7 plants.

Jesus would not approve.

Reply to  rickyg

Owner of Honeydew Farms went to a Board of Supervisors meeting and publicly requested that grows w/o permits be punished. Other permitted farms have also called for this. Why? Because unpermitted growers are depressing the prices on the BLACK market, which is affecting these permitted farms….because they are selling on that market too!! It’s a farce and our county government is protecting their illegal behavior. Since track n Trace is obviously failing we need some busts of these farms. It’s not snitching. They have done everything to take everything from the mom n pops of this county. Now they fund the chippers and the abatements. I’m glad people are finally seeing this. I’d suggest writing to the office of the US Attorney General. I have. I included a short list of farms that I know are engaging in conspiracy to distribute across state lines.And they are doing this by selling outside of track n Trace. These guys have scammed every mom n pop and deserve to be destroyed.
