Convoy Headed Up Alderpoint Road Monday Morning

End of a convoy

A little before 10:30 a.m., a convoy of law enforcement vehicles exited Hwy 101 and eventually turned onto Alderpoint Road. One person reported seeing “10-15 trucks with a chipper.”

Another said there were about a dozen. He added that they appear to be Humboldt County Sheriff vehicles as well as vehicles from the Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as “a couple other unidentified vehicles.”

Destroying our economy and sending our recourses and finance’s to corporations in the city,and government in Sacramento. Some of these supervisors are ruining the very thing we’re paying and elected them to protect. OUR lIves,our communitys,our county

Let’s see. We should be paying our supervisors to protect 5000 plant out of state greenrushers with their enviromental damage who sell their weed out of state which is where all the money they make goes. They don’t even fricking bother to get California plates on their grow dozers to help pay for the roads they are trashing. Get real.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a Tooby Ranch rd up there. Not that I’m actually looking for it. But please tell us if there’s a road sign I’ve missed? But we all up here know what happens to road signs lol.

On the documentary Murder Mountain Sheriff Honsel was crying the blues about not having enough resources to investigate all the missing person cases in Humboldt. Doesn’t seem to be any problem staffing convoys three times a week. Priorities.

There is no money in finding missing or deceased persons. Issue 10s of thousands in fines and the boys can have a party, with cupcakes.

And if the deputies were out in the woods every day looking for missing persons you would complain that they weren’t in town busting meth heads. Or catching thieves. What would you propose, the Sheriff’s dept search every square inch of Humboldt in the off chance they would find someone?
There are 15,000 illegal grows in Humboldt, they aren’t going to eradicate themselves.

Most of the illegal grows will eradicate themselves economically in the next year or two. The sheriff’s office is just cashing in early.

It’s already full of gangsters heroin and meth addicts. There is a reason it was ranked second most deadly county/ city (Eureka) right behind Oakland. It’s turned into a shit hole because of weed.

Deserves a parody. Somebody talented please take it and make it topical and interweave several different convoys:
a chipper & enforcement convoy like the one from today’s news,
a convoy of fire crews like is totally common to see, and redux on foot, cutting literal fire lines,
a convoy of growers, moving their product down the line,
a convoy of prisoners in buses with escort, on their way to Pelican Bay,
a convoy of incoming buyers, hippies from the Bay Area singing duets with Siri or Alexis AI voices…

There has always been less pot in Humbolt compared to now because we said come here from all parts of the world and you will prosper by blowing up small mega grows, large mega grows or just a massive mega grow. Meth( biker meth) was here, very little heroin, now the blue meth from below the wall has taken over this communit.

Does anyone know if any “abated” folks have actually paid a fine?

my understanding is that the ‘fine’ amounts are being added to the property’s tax assessment. it is not a typical judge issued fine. i could be wrong.

According to Planning Dept head Ford, they have collected over 1.4 million in fines as of a couple of weeks ago. People pay them directly, they are not added to the tax bill. The Measure S tax is added to the property tax bill

This ‘mocumentary’ that FUSE channel put together on Humboldt is a glossy, sensationalized hype of the canibus industry. It started with showing the beauty of the area and turned dark quick. As for the SD guy that went missing, he was a punk trying to make a quick buck, raping the resources and disrespecting the locals. Look for trouble, it’ll find you.. Lumping Alderpoint and Rancho together is bullshit.. I grew up there. Two separate sets of people(no Bulges)that are still good folks and care about each other and the town. Unfortunately, the area keeps going further down the rabbit hole with all the derelicts that are there who roam the streets, stealing shit and disrespecting the environment. This negative spotlight on Humboldt isn’t doing it any favors and will just show government and reinforce the efforts of law enforcement to clean it up. Way LONG overdue..

You are so right, but we know that the people that put these shows together aren’t from here and have no clue. A Netflix crew has been here off and on for months. They have actors acting out a lot of their content, not locals. I can’t wait to see how they demonized Southern Humboldt as if we are all a bunch of drug crazed criminal dope growing maniacs, every last one of us.

That can apply to the whole world. The marijuana angle is what these shows are highlighting, it’s intriguing to them.

“This ‘mocumentary’ that FUSE channel put together on Humboldt is a glossy, sensationalized hype of the canibus industry.”

Yep, that’s called television, entertainment.

There’s a reson why it’s termed the BOOB TUBE.

If it’s on television, it ain’t real (or largely diverted/sensationalized from reality).
This is increasingly becoming true also of the internet.

I know, I used to work in the industry.
Consider this…the largest corps that own the largest media “news” outlets are also those whom own the largest entertainment outlets.

Ben Franklin (as alias Richard Saunders in his Poor Richards, 1739) wrote that:
“Historians relate, not so much what is done, as to what they would have believed”.

History and “fact” are merely created by those with the power. money, and resources to define and disseminate them as such.

Permits are a scam! The facts are that very few get permits. And the BOS knows it! It’s dirty politics as usual. That’s why the BOS paid the sheriff $ to add deputies to this Marijuana crew. Deputies that are now NOT working regular patrol. So the sheriff gets money from the BOS then the county gets money from the fines(Big money) and they want more money in measure z or O, cause they don’t have enough deputies Or $$$ ?!!
But hey, all you guys that hate weed and the weed growing industry get a regular photo op from the media loving sheriff showing all the weed getting cut down!
The thing I’ve failed to see is ANYONE going to jail for it! Lol!!!
Nope it’s simply a message that if you don’t have a permit, you don’t have any plans. In other words, “pay up the man from your ability to make money or we take your ability to make ANY money at all.”
