Call netflix&complain.
Making our sheriffs look so crappy just sends the msg its easy to get away with crimes here. Not that i think theyre doing a great job but announcing it to the world just makes things worse.
We need to take back our hills, bring back what i call the Humboldt Grimms fairy tales, the tales meant to scare folks into thinking twice.
To all those thinjing of home invasions just know many of our hill neighborhoods are armed&organized.

I wonder who is going to foot the bill for the flight and treatment? If I am following the snippets above correctly, about the person getting shot breaking into someplace, I suspect the taxpayers are. Which means most of us collectively spent a few hundred thousand dollars. Just a guess.

I suppose you’d offer milk and cookies instead to someone breaking into your house. “Oh do come in, you poor downtrodden soul, you’re not responsible for your actions or the effect they have on others. Take whatever you need!”

No, id shoot them too, but then im not going to allow the demons that have him to possess me and suggest he doesn’t get medical care.

Ill defend myself, but i dont need to hate to do it.

The burglar has lost his way, but i have not and further i prefer to still belong to an Organized society that takes care of medical care, fire, roads for everyone, not by class intellect or whatnot.

Rather than his bullshit paradise cy would have us committed to.

Not sure what you think my version of “paradise” would be or if you simply lack reading comprehension skills, but my comment was more along the line of I’m tired of paying for people who do stupid things.

I’ll gladly support the common good, but if you intentionally choose to be an idiot that’s on your own dime.

True that, but yet what have you paid kym kemp for this venue?
All this information she provides to you and us as a whole.

And there is a public investment in the internet. Private parties have out bid each other to get ownership and possession and now a lucky few get to cash in and we pay.

Its complicated. We are seeing the early stages of that economic model in the mj industry. The cannabis companies are out bidding each other to be “placed” for profit.

Different dynamics, same economic model, same level of complexity that tries to pretend its easy.

I think I actually HAVE payed Kym, by patronizing at least one of her advertisers. How about YOU?

Didn’t do a good enough job. Probably pot related when someone was bragging or selling?

Wait and see. It could be cannabis related, or not. They may have known each other, or not.

Writing rules to live by…written in 1949 by George Orwell.
“(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
(ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do.
(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.
(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.”
If they were adhered to here, there might be cogent thoughts expressed, and maybe intelligent conversation.
Then again, George Orwell rolls over each day.

The shooting was right across my street here in rural Burnt Ranch….. another cannabis related shooting… we need to get this industry out of the rural residential neighborhoods, especially with a grade school on the street!
