An apparent traffic accident occurred at approximately 1:54 a.m. on Hwy 36 at mile marker 43.09 near the Riverbend Trailer Park east of Dinsmore. Later investigation determined the driver was a male who appeared to have a gunshot wound to the head.

A dispatcher from the Emergency Communications Center relayed that he had “massive head trauma.” Reports from people who came on the scene later state that there may have been a car chase with multiple shots fired.

Samantha Karges of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed there had been a shooting. She said, “The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. Deputies are still out on scene investigating. I don’t have any other releasable information at this time.”

Scanner traffic indicates that two women are being questioned in connection with this incident.

You get the government you deserve.

If people are voting yahoos into office based upon popularity and which smoozer will give them laws that benefit only themselves and friends, like Rex Bhone/Sunberg/Estelle, then you get what you got.

Less than 20% of eligible voters even bother to show up and the majority are Baby Boomers who already got theirs and NIMBY any sort of economic development. So we got the elderly, many of whom will be dying in next 20 years, determining what the current economy is like, and as you can see they only care for themselves and large corporate interests. It’s why we have a housing shortage and no jobs.

But hey, keep acting like nothing gonna change, maintain the status quo, and don’t bother to get good people to run again the yahoos while supporting their candidacy.

Some of us dirty Boomers have owned a business – and yes, ran it for service – NOT profit, profit, profit.

For those of us who are accountants we know what the capital account is.

Crony capitalism as opposed to actual capitalism –in which a buyer and a seller voluntarily engage in trade (Not fraudulent commerce). The product does not cause harm, the people involved are honorable, the exchange for value isn’t regulated.

Crime is not caused by the laws, people and reps you have been brainwashed into hating. It happens in big cities and small towns. It is caused by people, not some law, or lack thereof. But I realize that its easier to sit behind a keyboard and blame an entire generation for all your problems because of when they were born, and claim the world would be perfect if only you were running it, right?

I’m not sure how much this has to do with this incident but I do have an innocent question to ask. I heard this same sentiment just the other day. It went something like this:

‘Our problems in SoHum stem from Estelle selling out local growers for big corporations coming in to grow weed here. These corporations/businesses/people are bringing in their own people for working, selling, and buying weed. They are demanding of the local folks to what, where, and who they can buy from. This goes beyond weed to groceries and everyday supplies and businesses to patronize.’

This person described this as serious, devastating, wide scale ‘economic terrorism’ and placing the blame squarely on Supervisor Estelle, and not of stereotypical ‘greedy local growers causing problems’. This person mentioned Harborside Dispensary out of Oakland and others in particular. This person seemed reasonable, smart, and engaged in the community.

Can someone explain this in a nutshell for me? What gives? I don’t understand, this is new news to me. Maybe it’s a column in the making. Thanks.

Why would a big corporation come here to grow weed? Because we truck in the best soil amendments? I doubt it. Big cartels and big time crooks, yes. There have been many big grows busted this year. Not nearly enough, I know, but still.

The name. They come for the name. When weed is legal and sold nationally and internationally, the Humboldt name will come with many years of recognition behind it.

That’s worth a lot to the branding and marketing of products from the US.

That, and we have the lowest cultivation tax rate in the state. It’s not that complicated to see why companies would find a reason to want to have at least some production capacity in our county.

As to politicians getting kickbacks for favors, that’s an old tradition and needs no explanation.

There are very few places in this County were a corporation could grow enough marijuana to make it worth their while. The plain fact is our geography is wrong for mass production of any field crop, there are too many Hills and not enough big open valleys. And a lot of the natural dirt around here is clay-based, which is not good for growing much of anything in. It seems a lot of people forget this is a Statewide law, not just Humboldt County but it is now legal to grow in all of California. The only reason prices are tanking( and have been since 2:15 was passed) is simple supply and demand, there’s too much supply for the demand. It wouldn’t matter if there were no regulations, the market is oversaturated and prices will not be coming up anytime soon.

The idea that certain locations bestow unique qualities to their products is a marketing gimmick. You can grow grapes where grapes can grow; given the right soil conditions, moisture, etc. you can grow anything. It’s much easier to grow cannabis (or any crop) near major points of access and distribution. Given so much HumCo grows are indoor already, why not just grow it in Oakland or LA?

Oakland or LA are full of people and buildings. Indoor warehouses are possible, but electrical input is very expensive. Easily farmed flat land is limited and we still need food. It’s natural to grow trees and grapes and cannabis in mountainous, rural areas where other crops are difficult.

Cannabis production requires skill and good genetics. We in the Triangle have the expertise and genetics and dedication to compete with the world. Sadly, we have been beaten down a bit by over-regulation and excessive taxes and fees.

Have you tried to sell a pound lately? Just because it’s going for a lot in the dispensaries doesn’t mean the people growing are getting paid a lot. I mean an iPhone is expensive as hell, that doesn’t mean the little Chinese Factory workers is getting paid dick.

Y’all are missed the point. It’s not that you can’t grow pot in the Hills, obviously you can we’ve been doing it for decades. The point is the price is getting so low, for people to maintain their profit margin they have to grow more of it. And the topology of the land around here for the most part is wrong for mass production, without investing millions in clearing Lands and running irrigation. Not to mention the logistics of transporting in materials and fertilizers and exporting finished products. Almost all the major wine vineyards are still grown in valleys and they’re still closed two main arteries of transport, there are very few wine vineyards in remote locations in the middle of hills. Rolling Hills in already cleared valleys are quite different than the extremely steep hills in the ruggedly forested mountain ranges of Northern California. Even The Vineyards in bricelyn are in Creek valleys that we’re naturally cleared of forests.

Ganja isn’t a field/row crop. Prime ag land is planted in grains to maximize its potential. By the end of the season you’re lucky to find a place to set your feet and the canopy is unbroken. You could do ganja like this and it’d only be good for poor quality extract at best.

Thus the grape analogy. It would be a waste to grow grapes on flat black dirt because the workers need space to work. Wasted land. Makes more sense to grow that in marginal land that could only otherwise be pastured or fallowed.

Climate and terroir are not gimmicks; it’s fucking science! Plants have preferences for sure. If the west coast can make good wine similar to old world shit it’s cuz they are similar growing conditions.

At the end of a SoHum full sun blunt, I say to all: fear not. “We got a good thing going, a real good thing going.” Prices will rise (modestly now) with efficient branding.

To say marijuana is not a feild row crop is a ridiculous statement. The only reason it has not been a feild row crop in America is because it’s been illegal .every country where is grown in mass volume in the world, grows it as a corn row crop. And all that you have to do is jump on Google Earth to see plenty of local field row marijuana crops.

Maybe we can get the CIA to pay our military forces to protect our marijuana crops against our corrupt government. LOL

So, what happened to you if it wasn’t weed? It’s easy to control fertilizer run-off with large containers on pallets. You simply observe your big pots and when you get a bit of drainage leaking out, you know to stop irrigating. Pots on pallets prevent roots from growing out and foreign roots from growing in, which they will if sitting on the ground. See how easy that is? There are many low-impact ways to grow quality cannabis with one or two crops under the sun.

Humboldt County and California taxed and regulated the small, family farms out of existence. Supes Fennell and Bohn should have known better. If memory serves, it cost $150 just to review your property map with Rodney and the rest at the County office. In advance. Only big-money people and corporations can afford to go legit. That’s why Colorado and other States are eating our lunch.

Strict California regs regarding the growth and distribution of food could have been modified slightly for marijuana production. But no, that was too sensible.

The market is bigger than ever, production is bigger than ever, and it’s still the agricultural crop with the sweetest profit margin. Some collapse.

The cannabis market. Every year, new states and countries legalize, without the supply to meet the demand.

Because “Legal” has worked wonders here in Humboldt County, right?

The problem starts in the human heart where greed lives and hate and violence are justified. We learn what we want to, what I learned from the Bible is to love one another as we love our selves. The ugliness of human nature has depleted many people’s ability to love even themselves. I see drugs, alcohol, shopping, sexual addictions, and many other behaviors that ultimately destroy us as a way to briefly avoid the reality of ourselves and our own choices. Blaming others for ones own choices will lead to self disgust and lack of self control. Our media culture thrives on violence and mockary. A+B=C We all have a part in this.
I hope this man does not have children. It will be so hard on those that love him. I hope for their sakes those responsible are caught and held responsible. It’s horrible to not know.

Psalm 137:9
“Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock”.

What a great moral guide.

Like I said you learn what you want and both your examples are old testiment. I learned to love others. Many people miss that from the numerous religious writings in our world and choose to attack and generalize what they don’t understand. Taking an old testiment verse out of context to argue what? That it’s impossible to learn to love one another from the Bible? Silliness. If you don’t like it don’t read it but why learn it to mock those that do find some sort of peace or moral compass there. The new teatiment is a story about a man that stood up against the old laws or maybe you stopped reading in Deuteronomy and Psalms? There are some very uplifting verses in Psalms as well, you will learn what you want to. If you seek peace, wisdom, and love you will find it.

If invoking your bronze-age genie makes you feel better, that’s cool. Just don’t expect others to take it literally or seriously.

Thank you Norcalwarmth. Your comment is right on.

It’s written in parables – ‘pair of balls’. Perhaps you just can’t comprehend it.

It is well established you have some strange ideas about masculinity. So it’s a metaphor, and that’s why I should believe it? And suspending logical thought makes you feel masculine. Okay, weird.

“It is well established you have some strange ideas about masculinity”. [edit]

Current events indicate we may be at the end of this human experience. And many of us are aware that life is a school. Humanity is coming forth as never before. We can choose to connect with each other in an intimate way to strengthen the depth of our communication and to make a difference in the world at this time.

It might help such oblivious nastiness if, instead of thinking in terms of their own ethnocentric boogie men- here usually Christianity because of its involvement in western history- they start thinking about the reason insulting and belittling anyone is wrong. Always. Period. Especially on the internet, the person relying on guidance based on religion might be in a desperate situation looking for aid where ever they can find it or their reliance on it might be because it helps them to go from an embittered human to a better one. The possibility of abusing someone so vulnerable did should be enough a consideration to not go there.

Religion does not generally create evil as much as humans use it as a tool to express their own evil. It’s sort of like the internet.

That was beautiful, NCW.
Despite the swine trampling the pearls you tossed, the pearls still shone forth like the gems they are. The pearls remain beautiful.
Speaking of pearls and swine, Matthew 7:6 comes to mind.
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

Probably because it’s a public news forum. If you have more information, please share.
