These type of events are getting to be more prevalent these days. What’s going on in our “once” great County? More and more people are dying and for what?? Drugs, augments or just plain STUPIDITY!!

Rates of violent crime in CA have been going down since 1992. Our current rate in Humboldt is less than half of the state average at that time.
That’s my cousin. He was a good boy
So sorry you and his loved ones have to know this pain.
I grew up with his Mother, a wonderful woman, a great Mother of a wonderful son! This senseless act of violence only exacerbates hatred! People have no moral sense of right and wrong, we are being lead down a road of uncertainty, social media fuels the fire! Our Country has not been made GREAT again…I only see HATE again!
That’s the corner of the Plaza 😳 I would think there might be security camera footage of that area.
there abolutely should be! if there isnt thats aburdly stupid of arcata city police ad local businesses that have to deal with shootings, fights, people breaking windowns etc
There used to be a live stream internet camera on the Jacoby storehouse you could see most of the Plaza from there it was up high I don’t know if it is still there or if it was recording but I remember back in the day there used to be a camera up there
RIP
It happened in Arcata. This is about Eureka.
Still relevant.
Eureka is a good reflection of the north coast broadly, and arcata is a good gauge of young adult dynamics in the petri dish of a university town
It’s not relevant OR accurate. It’s fake news.
its jealousy.
That is not accurate. We’re nowhere near the top of that list.

Look again. Humboldt county has one of the highest county crime rates in the state. Adjust for racial bias and Humboldt has the highest crime rate on the west coast.
I thought we were talking about Eureka. Even Crecent City has a higher rate of violent crime than Eureka. Humboldt is pretty much right in the middle, statistically speaking, so you’re wrong about that, too.
Also, what in the fuck does “adjust for racial bias” mean? Is that your secret formula you use to pull nonsense out of thin air?
lol, like your humor!
Yeah, petty crime…
Seems the link you gave shows it is true, more or less. At least for 2018 it’s 7th.
Our violent crime rate per 1000 people is 5.4. I haven’t gone through the whole list, but I see at least 20 cities with higher numbers. Where are you getting your numbers for 2018?
This is for 2018 this year/right now.
That doesn’t say where its from, or what data they are using.
If past investigations of stabbing deaths in Arcata stays true, they will never solve this…
Last time I checked, Juan Ferrar is in prison.
Not according to the cdcr inmate locator.
It might be because that isn’t how his name is spelled…
Here’s Juan Ferrer’s prison locater entry.
2nd or 7th definitely understand why all my family has been fleeing this area they called home for 60 plus years. Three words meth, heroin, and weed.
its not second or 7th. its better than most places. the meth and heroin are a nation wide result of poor values and mainly affect conservative families. the big election ticket items for the east coast are the opioid crisis and education.
Good thing booze never has anything to do with it, huh?
Hey “Get some” Can i ask where your family members are moving to?
They’re moving from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg.
I hear rents are cheap near Chernobyl too, comrades.
And before that people who had lived here for thousands of years were killed or driven out by three words…..timber, gold and Christianity. But lets pretend that didn’t happen.
one word – Fear. the fact that they called them transients in the local newspapers is weird.
the police arent releasing this guys name…..but he was a regular in our community according to The jam employees…anyone on here have an idea who the victim is?
and pray tell the name of the people that thw native americian indians drive out ? because as it turns out they jave been discovering that the current natives arent all that native. isnt science a pain in the ass ?
Are you talking about Kennewick Man? DNA analysis has shown he belonged to the same haploid groups as the modern inhabitents of the area where he was found. He was indeed their ancestor.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennewick_Man
Kennewick man’s initial description as Caucasian was based on forensic phrenology. To spite being developed by racists, phrenology is not a great way of establishing race, because race is not a great predictor of a person’s actual genetic makeup. It is, as they say, a social construct. Your ancestors from 6000 BCE probably didn’t look much like you, either. We are a quickly-evolving species.
Welcome to Ciudad Juárez of the north.
Check out where Brandon Watson was last night. Description fits him and he is partial to stabbing people and getting away with it.
there is a camera overseeing the plaza. it’s just a matter of time until the guy is caught, unless it’s not the politically correct thing to do…
actually last time i talked to arcata pd they told me there IS NOT a camera overlooing the plaza,which i found unbeliavable.
there is the dea and fbi have a op in the upstairs of the post office
It’ll be racist before it’s over
Or perhaps at the time of the crime. Do you believe racism plays no part of daily life around here?
Humboldt county California
The land of low paying crappy jobs.
Miserable drug addicts.
Disability grifters.
And more
Come join the fun!!
Why are you here then?
Well, am I the only one thinking that we won’t be hearing about protests over this in two years?
Yes you are. Now go back to fox news
Why don’t you guys just ban knifes in Arcata? problem solved.
To Buster (above),
I just want to personally extend one stranger’s condolences to you and your family. My heart goes out to you. I am impressed that the owner of the Jam has spoken out about how grieved he is, as well. Our whole community will be suffering through this for a long time to come. RIP to a fine young man and much comfort to your family.
Yes! The owner expressing his sorrow says a lot, I must say. These are sad times. Condolences to the family.
Sincerely,
Joe.
My condolences to the family.
