[UPDATE 12:51 p.m.: Video From Surveillance Tape] Grandmother Helped Foil Violent Home Invasion Robbery in Cutten Yesterday
An alert grandmother helped foil a violent, armed home invasion robbery attempt on Berry Lane in the Cutten area of Eureka early Tuesday morning.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told us, “My dogs woke me up growling menacingly…about 2:30. I got up thinking it was a bear in the garbage…We have a bear that has been frequenting. [If we make noise], it just freaks and takes off…I heard something at my screen door. I looked out and didn’t see anything.”
She started to go back to bed but then she said, “I heard something cough. Two coughs…I quietly opened my door. There was something coughing in my front yard.” She thought it might be the bear “huffing” but she didn’t see anything.
She closed and relocked the door. But then her dogs alerted towards the back of the house. She says she was particularly concerned because, “My dogs normally they just barked. [This time,] they just had a deep menacing growl.”
She was a little worried. She explained she didn’t have much backup. “It was just me, my chickens, my grandsons, and my dogs,” she told us. “I went to my back door….I could see someone at my travel trailer…Someone coughed in the back yard of my neighbors. Then my neighbor’s motion detector floodlights came on.”
At 2:46, according to her phone, she called 911.
Soon, she saw a “a lot of police.” She told us, “The cop cars just kept coming…It turned out that the guys that were trying to break into my house went into my neighbor’s.”
She said her neighbor later showed her tape from his surveillance system that filmed one suspect trying the back patio door and then walking around to the front.
Later she discovered that two men “smashed out” her neighbor’s front window and pointed a gun at him and assaulted him violently when he tried vigorously to resist.
“If you saw the inside of the house, you could see the struggle was fierce,” she said. “Blood all the way through his house…The bruising was just horrendous…I just cried when I saw his face.”
Luckily, she said, that when she called “there was a deputy just two blocks away.”
She said she learned that as the deputy was driving through the neighborhood, he saw that the neighbor’s front door was open and the window was broken.
The deputy and other officers were able to catch one man they believe to have been involved. Another escaped.
Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that “there was a home invasion on…Berry Lane and a male victim received moderate head injuries during that home invasion.” She wrote in an email, “One arrest was made and it is believed that one subject is still outstanding at this time.”
The woman who lives on Berry Lane said, she thought “the cough was signaling…Some kind of code.”
She said she doesn’t know why she and her long-time neighbor, an older man, were targeted. “I grew up in the house I live in. You hear about home invasion. It usually involves pounds of weed. I don’t know why they would target my neighbor. He’s very quiet, very lovely,” she said.
She added, “They didn’t hit a rich neighborhood. In our neighborhood we don’t have doctors and lawyers. We’ve got school teachers—middle-class, hard-working, family people. A lot of people have been here for decades.”
Then she said, “If [they] would have gotten in my house, [they] probably would have killed us…If this officer hadn’t been on Beechwood drive just two blocks away I don’t think my neighbor would still be alive…The Sheriff’s Office was phenomenal last night. They responded appropriately in force and rapidly and I think that is the only reason my neighbor alive. They just saw the door open. If I hadn’t seen that guy at the trailer, I would just have thought it was a bear and wouldn’t have called anybody and he’d be dead.”
This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On July 16, 2019, at about 2:51 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the area of the 6200 block of Berry Lane in Cutten for the report of an unknown subject attempting to gain entry into residences.
A deputy on patrol in the area arrived on scene within one minute of the call and observed a male subject running across the roadway into the yard of a nearby residence. While attempting to locate the subject, the deputy was contacted by a 63-year-old male who stated he had just been the victim of a home invasion and the subject observed fleeing was believed to be one of the suspects.
According to the victim, prior to the deputy’s arrival two suspects wearing ski-masks broke a window and entered his residence while he was inside. When confronted, one suspect brandished a firearm at the victim. A physical altercation ensued between the victim and the suspects, during which the victim was struck multiple times with the firearm and other objects. During the altercation, the victim was able to remove one suspect’s ski-mask and obtain a description of the suspect’s appearance. Following the altercation, the suspects fled on foot from the residence. The victim sustained moderate, non-gunshot related injuries and received medical treatment on scene.
While patrolling the surrounding areas, a sheriff’s deputy located one suspect, later identified as 20-year-old Pares Terrance Pool, walking near Walnut Drive and Avalon Drive. Upon deputy contact, Pool fled. After a short foot pursuit, Pool was taken into custody without further incident.
Pool was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, battery with serious bodily injury, resisting a peace officer and conspiracy to commit a crime.
The second suspect in this case is still outstanding at this time. He is described as a black male adult, in his 20’s, approximately 6 feet 1 inches tall, wearing dark clothing, a ski mask and red Nike-style shoes.
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the reporting party in this incident for reporting suspicious activity in their neighborhood and preventing additional crime from occurring in the area.
Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity should contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.
On July 16, 2019, at about 2:51 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the area of the 6200 block of Berry Lane in Cutten for the report of an unknown subject attempting to gain entry into residences.UPDATE 12:51 p.m.: This video is from the neighbor’s surveillance tape. It shows two men skulking around his home before they broke in. https://neighbors.ring.com/n/2nm8R?fbclid=IwAR3xAInFpl-m3Bj7uaiS_ev54Wrvo8z1ms6Xh0qgQ_zlHSjWW8oCxRsrVTg

I really wish I could say the obvious.
But you can’t, A lot of people would like to say the obvious but the P/C police will delete you. I wish someone would compile the stats in the last 3 years of violent crimes in Humboldt- Trinity county and rank it by ,well you know,age or education level or something.
What is obvious to me is that wealth inequality will kill us all in the upcoming economic crisis if we do not get the rich paying their share of the tax burden, and also rebuild a sense that we are one nation working together for everyone’s best and highest good.
What is equally obvious to me is that a lot of people look at the most superficial elements of a situation and exhibit a remarkable lack of curiousity.
Thats the root of bigotry btw
Well put.
You bleeding heart liberals will kill us every time
Pray tell us, what the impacted colon conservative solution to crime is. Could it be, like:
A. Build more prisons, but not in my backyard.
B. Something, something.
C. Success!
Yet, when some showboat con rips off workers, contractors, launders drug and mob money all to the tune of millions it’s just “white collar crime” and let’s all wear his cool hat.
Nailed it
Actually, according to the Underpants Gnomes, C. should be “Profit!”
I watched the video and I will say the obvious…Blue shoes+blue hands = Blue Man Group. Case closed.
Also, looks like the poor guy hit his head while getting in the police car. I wonder how that happened?
I believe the suspect was bleeding when located by law enforcement. And the victim resisted vigorously and is believed to have injured the would be robber.
I was kinda hoping it was cop related, but if you want to go ahead and ruin my fun with your wild fantasies, well then, fine…….
Bigots, bigots everywhere and ne’er a dope will think. ( sorry to Samuel Coleridge.) Spewing about conservatives as if that was equal to racism is the left’s version of knee jerk bigotry. Same stupidity weapon pointed in different direction.
“The Left’s Version”? Knee-jerk bigotry’s been the Democrat brand since 1864.
It wasn’t an abolitionist who shot Lincoln.
Some people are so at a loss for brain power that they post other people’s comments, even highlight them. Why would someone do that?
But you endorse a bigot, that’s all we need to know…calling it knee-jerk reactions is a pathetic, weak argument, but that’s nothing new.
Nah. With masks on, who knows? Lotta lily white tweakers running around, waving the stars and bars, absolutely crazy. One of these people, no matter where they’re from or other, is going to break the wrong window, kick in the wrong door. I’d like to say I’d hold off and give someone a second chance, but it is unlikely. And I’m as “liberal” as it gets. I just haven’t given up intellect for buying into the blind consumerism of believing the lies and blaming everyone else. Blind follower conservatism is the mental disorder, not being concerned about others.
Conservatives don’t generally “follow” anyone. It’s the natural state for those individuals who trust their own abilities to believe that they themselves are their best choice for a good life because they have succeeded already. They object to the government burdening them with obligations to support others who have not done what they did or making changes by fiat that get in the way of their ability to take care of themselves. They as much as anyone feel validated when they hear similar thoughts from others but they would be what they are if they never heard any support.
Liberals on the other hand are prey to an endless army of people telling them about how they are owed yet they have little confidence that they can achieve this without government making it happen. They love government fiat that makes everyone
pony up to achieve this equality because they have no faith that an individual can possibly be as successful . No matter how many times government action has ugly side effects, they have faith that this time they will get it right.
In truth both are right because there are different people with different capabilities. Whether you are liberal or conservative depends on whether you think that individual freedom will give the most people the most good or you think that government regulation does it. I like the freedom more just because is a challenge and that is its own reward. I am happier with my earned share, even if it is not as much as some others. Whereas always being told what others have while you don’t and complaining/demanding equality sours even what successes the government can manage. No one who relies on handouts ever feels as secure and happy as the person who relies on themselves and is even just somewhat competent about it.
Right. Sure. Are you living under a rock? I dropped my Republican Party registration back to Independent when the Orangutan in Chief stated “there’s good people on both sides.” There isn’t. My great uncle was murdered by a nazi prison guard. There are many, many “liberals” who rely on intellect rather than blind following, as the current “conservatives” seem to espouse. Follow. Follow blindly into the abyss. Shout “Constitution” when you have zero understanding. And, naturally, believe everything your beloved leader says.
Thank you, Trinboltacino
Guest is really good at hating on liberals with eloquence….even if it’s not accurate.
Accuracy doesn’t seem to much matter much for many though.
WTF? Most of the 99% don’t do home invasion robberies. The facts are the facts, and acknowledging them is not bigoted.
I agree that we need to work better together as a nation, but we have been throwing money at black communities for years, and all it has done is bankrupt local governments, with no improvement to crime rates or and minimal reductions in poverty. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results… The economy is booming right now, and this guy could easily get a job that pays for an apartment and a decent way of life if he chose. Maybe not in Humboldt, but plenty of other places. If you have a dirt-poor, ubiquitously black community, you end up with Cook County Chicago, the murder capital of the country. If you have a dirt-poor ubiquitously white community, you end up with West Virginia, with a terrible drug problem, but not a tenth of the violence. Taxing people and economics aren’t gonna fix that. Not saying I know the solution…
ernestine, you can’t be serious! This guy doing a home invasion robbery is the result of us not giving him more money through one of the many programs already in place giving out money!!!
You are the epitome of what is destroying this country….liberalism is a mental disorder.
Namely: no personal accountability for ones actions, no respect to others, not part of society, sense of entitlement to free money with no responsibility to give back….on and on.
Wealth inequality is why this home invasion happened? You dude are a fruit loop!
I do believe there is something called a job one can get to earn some cash. Wealth inequality? That’s life, but let’s tax that 1% as they should be.
What’s rich?
Every time you guys want to solve income inequality, you raise the income tax. This punishes working people. The rich don’t pay income tax, only working people do. The rich pay capital gains tax.
You mean the minimum wage right?
Rich dont get taxes they have money that makes money in the bank, and they dont work a 9 to 5 they have assets that bring them income most able to write off and pay no taxes, dont be mad at the rich for being smart and not having to pay taxes like a jackass while working themselves to the bone. Grow up you big babe
The point is that it is the middle class that gets punished. Over and over.
“dont be mad at the rich for being smart”
Three cheers for “Money changers” !!! NOT.
Yeh that was trumps boast, he was a real smart guy because he pays nothing in the way of taxes. When Obama said ‘they didn’t build it”, referring to the rich, that went right over their heads. He was rightly pointing out that it was taxes that paid for roads to their factories, public education that supplied a knowledgeable work force , police, fire ect. Wealth gap eventually sunk the Romans, just a question of time before it happens here. But hey, look over there at that shiny ball!
Not quite. Obama was not referring to the rich at the point he said that piece of innanity. He was referring to the idea that collective action where a group does something that an individual can’t which he tought a justification of taking more in taxes. He said “The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own.” But in the end he did say “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” He fell back on the typical liberal idea that discounts the individual’s efforts in favor of the magic of government action. Unfortunately then he cited examples where the taxation was self imposed for the benefit of those taxed and repaid by users. They were loans by the government, not give aways. He missed out that things needed to produce enough to justify their cost to the people WHO PAY FOR THEM. No surprise there.
Trump inherited the money he bankrupted. Who bankrupts casinos? Dumb asses do. He was such a liability he had to shop for loans inRussia. He cheated contractors, employees, people that bought into his brilliant schemes. He’s a grifter. He’s dishonest like all his Republican hypocrites. To hold up President Amber Alert and his swampy cronies and the rest of his spineless followers in politics, religion and otherwise is so laughable. They’ve proved themselves to be dishonest and a disproportionate amount of them seem to have a penchant for bigotry and disregard for the rule of law. You let Trump destroy any semblance of honor in your party.
“He was rightly pointing out that it was taxes that paid for roads to their factories, public education that supplied a knowledgeable work force , police, fire ect.”
Grace Commission Report: “None of the taxes go to services for the people. Let me point this out now. Your income tax is 100% voluntary and your liquor tax is 100% enforced tax. The situation is as different as night and day. Consequently, the same rules just will not apply.” Dwight D. Eisenhower 1953, testifying at the Sub. Ways & Means Committee.
“The power to tax is the power to destroy.” Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall.
I know! Let’s have the 1% pay for the 99% to do nothing! Yeah, fuk those rich people!
Equality is equal opportunity. You and everyone have the same opportunity to work hard and be wealthy. Why should somebody that put in the effort pay for somebody that didn’t?
Would you say that a person with no legs has the same opportunity as anyone else to win a race? Obviously not. They have a handicap.
If someone’s parent’s are poor and abusive, do they have the same opportunity to go to college as someone whose parents are supportive and rich? Obviously not. They have a handicap.
Maybe as a society we could look at the potential for the poor youth and help her overcome her disadvantages so she can catch up AND so society can have her contributions. Wouldn’t that be great for everyone?
So you think that -say- the NBA should be forced to hire wheel chair bound players? Or that a double amputee should be allowed to run an Olympic sprint in a motorised wheel chair? Or a person with cognitive limitations be allowed to conduct surgeries because he has an equal right despite a handicap that could kill his patients? Or how about denying a talented student access to an education because it is not fair that his parents are rich and the space should be allocated to a less talented person so who didn’t have an advantage of wealth?
How much of society’s resources should be spent in overcoming a lack of equality at birth in the speculation that there’s a hidden jewel in there somewhere? What if society discovers to the horror of liberals that there is a genetic component to success in a field or a genetic component to failure, like addiction? How much of its resources should society throw on a problem without much of a chance of success?
Or should society reward those determined to succeed despite handicaps because it has the practical result that it sorts out those who are going to succeed automatically and everyone doesn’t have to divert their own measure of success into a high number of people who can not ever contribute? What is a fatal handicap is society not knowing the difference between blocking the chance of success for self serving reasons and artifically suppressing the successful to allow room for the inherently unsuccessful to have equality.
People with every advantage fail and people with every disadvantage succeed. It is a better place where both things are on offer and not limited by the best of intentions.
Where’s the like button!!!!
well now it depends upon how long the race is doesnt it. someone with outlegs could use a wheel chair and the race could be down hill for 20 or so miles . i would bet the guy in the wheel chair would jave a better chance at winning.
The college line is a huge joke. folks not every good paying requires college. infact most colleges degrees are out dated by the time they are earned. A degree is little more than a peice of paper thar proves you can show up everyday for 4 years and do meaningless tasks while paying through the nose for it.
there is a shortage in the trades and historicialy the trades are extreamly comfortable in reguards to pay and bennifits.
Total agreement.
Skilled tradespeople are in high demand right now. We have a lot of honest work available. The reported numbers from WADC are off the charts.
Why work if I can steal?
Because we don’t sanction nor make work look better than crime. Steal some Grandma’s goodies and you too can be a flaming star. Work 2 weeks for a paycheck or some sort of compensence, and you’re tired and grumpy.
It’s hard to believe maybe, most thieves love to steal. That’s it’s form of survival. Survival is the key word. Why do we continue to exalt the dishonesty while continuing to feed the system that survives by serving the crimes against innocent people?
Crime and obligated punishment is the strength while tax and spend is the weakness. Take from the providers and give to the maintenance of Enforcement, while ignoring who’s doing the crimes. It will never self-correct itself. Victims are people too.
Very true RG.. I actually think there needs to be more programs to guide people to learn these skills… I think that while these opportunities are available in abundance… Helping people to understand what thier opportunities are and how to obtain them can also be a guiding force..
Collage. Too many art majors and psychologists and not enough blacksmiths and carpenters. PS. No one wants to work, they want free stuff from others who have gambled, borrowed and risked everything to be rich.
What? That y’all more than likely are having racist assumptions? Search engine home invasions. Thieves come in all the colors of the rainbow. Y’all gonna tell him, go back to your country & be good little parrots?
why do you assume everyone is racist? geez maybe you are the racist one. i for one was thinking something like send him to saudi arabia and see if he wants to steal there or how about let the old man take a few swings.
If hating worthless pieces of trash who invade the homes of innocent people and take their shit because they are too Fing stupid and lazy to get a job is racist, then I guess I am.
They ARE in their country. They are black, so don’t confuse the issue. This is not about illegal immigrants coming into this country committing violent crimes. This is 2 black male individuals targeting private senior residents for violent home invasion robberies. Regardless of race, these are the most dangerous kind of criminals because they are entering occupied homes with guns. That is proof they are prepared to kill the occupants. Statistics do not lie. Do white people commit these crimes? Yes, but not as big a percentage.
Blacks commit 8.5 times more robberies than whites. White victims and black offenders are 12 times more common than Vice versa.
We are in an age of over political correctness that is creating a very dangerous atmosphere. We cannot continue on this path because you are giving carte blanche to this population to commit these heinous crimes. It’s like the mother who always makes excuses for their child’s bad behavior blaming others until she creates a monster.
Just stop. Look at his picture. He is black. He committed the crime. He just contributed to the already high statistics of black violent crime and the already high statistic of black on white violent crime. It is what it is so don’t be afraid to say it. Its the truth based on fact.
hey just because he is black doesnt mean he couldnt have crossed the southern border illegally. they have found others coming from africa to mexico to cross the southern border illegally
According to the US Customs and Border Protection, there are three times more immigrants with criminal records apprehended at the Canadian border than there are at the Mexican border.
You mean because the Canadians don’t cry “racist” if someone checks where the Mexicans cry “racist” if they do? They have to be apprehended before they can know about criminal records at all.
There are 300 times less people crossing the Canadian border! Your point is busted. Do math. The largest growing gang in the US in prisons and on the streets are the MS-13. Where are the MS-13 from? El Salvador and Guatemala. Keep em coming!
Ms 13 is actually from Los angeles.
It never really got a foothold in el Salvador until we deported their leaders.
Due to the lack of law enforcement there it was able to grow and move back to the us with younger members unknown to our law enforcement here.
They have been able to exploit our immigration system and send soldiers to nearly all medium and large cities in the continental us.
Yup. Shouldn’t deport illegal immigrants just because they are violent criminals. That makes sense.
Well said
“It’s like the mother who always makes excuses for their child’s bad behavior blaming others until she creates a monster.”
That’s often literally true when kids grow up to be thugs like these. Single moms, usually. Anyone who has had parent contact while working in public schools can tell you that.

The taboo against acknowledging statistics on crime and race, particularly interracial crime, is one thing that lends credence to neo-Nazis and such. Leaving it to racists to acknowledge these facts is not an effective to response to either racism or crime.
But before the end of WWII, a Nazi was actually a Nazi, not the designation of every human being who was simply not a liberal or a member of the despised majority.
~it was: “the only good red is one that’s dead”.
Deplorable as the following little ditty:
“Ring around the rosie.
A pocket full of posie.
Ashes ashes, we all fall down.”
Left field Matrix is so visual.
Breaking things down in to racial terms: Given the crime statistics mentioned, the question is why. Why are there racial disparities in crime? Is there some inherent genetic or cultural defects present, inferiority, if you will? Or are we witnessing the inescapable effects of historical and generational trauma? As individuals, and as a society, we need to begin to make those distinctions. Is this evil verses good, or simply the inevitability of cause and effect?
Cultural defects, leading to abdication of responsibility, preoccupation with short-term selfish gains, and an “everyone owes me” mentality. “Historical and generational trauma” does not explain or excuse ghetto culture.
Sorry, but your misread of my comment is disappointing. I’m making excuses for anyone. I was just wonder what the cause of racial disparities in crime statistics. You seem to be blaming a morally defective, ‘ghetto culture’ . Since ‘ghetto’ has a racial dimension that goes beyond poverty your are coming down on the side of a defective, inferior, black culture. In a country so saturated in white privilege, it’s black entitlement, ‘black privilege’ at the root of the problem.
We have a local, white version of ghetto culture in Humboldt as well and it also breeds criminality. Ghetto culture affects some groups more than others, but that does not mean that it is a characteristic of any group as a whole.
What do you think creates a ghetto culture and what does it look like?
Mostly, bad parenting. Emotionally immature single moms, lack of positive male role models…… passed on from generation to generation. Not all poor populations succumb to ghetto culture.
Jim said it best: You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
A ghetto culture is found anywhere the GDP is net negative, often due to the action or inaction of its inhabitants. An area where the GDP is made up of weed farmers who pay little or no taxes, illegal workers who pay little or no taxes, and the chief export is illegal weed which produces no taxes is duh, ghetto culture. Gubberment needs to do this, gubberment needs to do that, none of that will happen without a positive GDP. The white ghettos of northern Cali ship weed to the ghettos in southern Cali. Ghettos beget ghettos.
Want to make a million dollars in Humboldt? Open a tattoo parlor and piercing joint that caters to pit bulls. See…..moe ghetto culture.
“Is there some inherent genetic or cultural defects present, inferiority, if you will? ”
Careful road weary, some folks will reply to that question with complete confusion. We are a society where we are more comfortable when we deny the obvious. It’s something we’re committed to overcome. The right/wrong normally gets trounced.
What was it Hillary said, “bring them to heal”?
As if that is an option. Either spelling- heel or heal- needs the agreement of the individual to whom it is being applied and there will always be those who refuse to accommodate. That’s why liberal ideals sound good- everyone wants people to be what they think of as productive – but always proves a failure when turns out that few really support that ideal when its applied to them personally.
Amen. People need to stop hiding behind political correctness so they can do what ever they want.
Now seems like an appropriate time for this:

Is this about thieves or race?
Yes
It should be about culture, not skin color. Not all cultures are equal. Some don’t do civilization.
You can change your culture. You can’t change your race.

“I really wish I could say the obvious.”
I’ll say it for you. This woman’s dogs saved their lives, and there is something VERY wrong with people who prefer cats over dogs.
Cats and dogs are lame. Only one way to roll – Meth Gators!
Krokodil?
‘Meth-gators’: Tennessee police warn flushing drugs could create hyper-aggressive alligators
“Folks … please don’t flush your drugs m’kay,” the Loretto Police Department wrote in a Facebook post.
Great comment! I’ll say another obvious thing- It is now up to the Humboldt County DA office to prosecute this crime aggressively and get a very serious sentence rendered if found guilty. This is a terrible and violent crime. The police did their job. Now I hope the DA finally does their job! Oh- and give that dog a bone and a hug for me…
I don’t completely disagree. But I’d still like the DA to do their job- for those who don’t want to keep a loaded gun at hand. And I do consider myself liberal as far as that means anti-authoritarian in letting people do their own thing in their own space and evening the playing field for those who want to work and contribute. Okay- maybe I’m a libertarian w/ a liberal social disposition ha ha
Typical ‘Dog Person’ mentality. Kiss your dog on the snout much ? Might as well lick it’s ass orifice too because that’s what it’s been doing.
In Saudi Arabia, dogs are considered vermin, thieves get their fingers cut off and house invasions get shot dead.
Lumping everyone in a group together usually doesn’t help. I doubt all dog people or all Saudi Arabians are exactly the same.
You’re right, Kym. People are people and everyone’s different. i stand corrected.
It’s called statistics. It has nothing to do with racism. They didn’t target them because they were white. It wasn’t a hate crime even though it was hateful. But statistics show black on white crime is higher than white on black and black on black crime is greatly higher than white on black crime. The biggest killer of black men is other black men. That statement is not racist it is a statistical fact.
But that’s what liberal has come to mean. Victims are all lumped into the assumption they are good and are due protection when when they may be just as evil as anyone else and protecting them as a knee jerk compensation allows their evil to grow out of all restraint.
Victimization should be stopped because it is damaging to good and bad alike. But it should not be rewarded either because it rewards good and bad alike.
Then move to Saudi Arabia if you like it so much. Just don’t let the wimmin folk go outside alone lest they be legally stoned to death or set on fire.
You don’t comprehend too well what you try to read.
Maybe re-read it again or have someone help you.
i was pointing out a contrast of two cultures. Where did you see any of my preferences ?
Go back and try again.
my comment was, i admit, a bit retaliatory to the very ignorant statement,
“…and there is something VERY wrong with people who prefer cats over dogs.”.
i’m not a pet owner anymore because they’re too hard to loose. However, it’s been my observations that cats tend to be much more sensitive to their surroundings (and bad energy signals) than dogs. And yes, that could be out my backside maybe.
My observations is that cats are less sensitive than dogs, preferring to consult only their own feelings, but dogs are simply more forgiving.
Dogs are the oldest ways of alerting us to anything invading our space.
The original burglar alarm.
😂🤣😂
Two words: MICE!
that is one word.
Damn. Sorry!
Thanks Guest.
State the obvious? 𝐌𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.
Here I’ll say it. In at least the past few years the majority of criminals apprehended for committing these types of crimes (home invasions, armed robberies, burglaries, etc) in this county (because the news on this site is local news for this county that’s here for the citizens of this county even though anyone anywhere has the option to read it) have been black men. Like it or not that is the fact. Nothing racists about it. For those of you who will say it inevitably let me just stop you by saying yes people of other races have also been apprehended for these types of crimes.
There have been some groups of black men who have targeted people here. Some connection to the marijuana black market in the bay areas is my best guess. And it’s probably a specific gang, who happen to beblack, targeting as a specific crime operation – https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/12/06/oakland-arrests-made-in-series-of-marijuana-grow-robberies/ so if a black gang has decided to fleece the hicks of Humboldt, than they are not likely to recruit other races for these crimes just like the Mafia took time to spread out from its Italian roots. Until then it gave Italians a real black eye with the public. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Italian_Anti-Defamation_League
But as for violent in general, most has not been race specific and not the fatalities at all.
I dont agree.
Not this particular perp.
I’d guess crime of opportunity.
Needed drug money…
The weed crime is most likely due to people bringing city folks (of any ethnicity) to their work or storage spots to do sales.
Our community is full of soft targets and dumb (not street smart) growers.
Dont trust people you dont know well.
If you dont have a market, dont grow weed!
All of you people with no custies are a problem!
Over production and environmental degradation has blown up the spot.
Thanks!
Maybe not him but the other crimes referred to. But then there is nothing saying different either.
Sheesh I believe you hit the nail on the head.
The obvious being that with three arrest stories, two of which involve very white alleged perps, you want to make a big deal about this guy’s skin color?
They just made a white supremacist flyer about black issues too.
An arrest of a black man is obvious fodder for the white struggle movement.
And we should expect an orgy of racial bias popping out of every corner with most comments.
That’s what I see.
Yes, you would be just as determined to blame white people as others are to blame black people.
Really?
Maybe you can show me where I’ve done that?
Whenever I accuse a commentor of saying something, I give people a link to that comment.
You know. Because people are full of shit, basically.
https://kunsoo1024.wordpress.com/2019/07/17/do-you-want-to-know-what-collective-racism-is/
“People are full of shit, basically”.
@least once a day, I’m guessing.
You are people.
I had a great response that I’m deleting.
But I’m going to explain.
It was a call back to “What about Bob.”
When Dreyfus storms into the room where Murray and the kid are playing and laughing.
Dreyfus tells them “I want some peace and quiet!”
Murray says “I’ll be quiet”, the kid follows up smart ass like and says “Ill be be peace”.
Well, since your using my words, and you called me people, guess what you are – in my smart ass response.
Like I said, I offer links.
Mr. Guest realized he is full of shit, or he’s looking real hard for an example. I’m prepared for either.
So yes, I’m people, but I’m not full of shit.
You have repeatedly announced my comments were racist without merit. It is just a knee jerk reaction from you when anyone disagrees with you or when it has not even been my comment and you just think it is. I’m not required nor is it sensible to dance to your tune. I do not care what you think.
I believe Kym, referred to it as “righteous indignation.”
To many, it’s just more intolerant static that plays into a division that doesn’t need to be further inflammed.
I’ve done my research into this guy.
He offered links to point out where he’s been “published”, to back up his push to challenge people with their own beliefs.
He has put a tremendous amount of time and effort into helping expose the 9.11 truths, even ran a silent auction for the victims of 9.11.
He has definitely taken some hard knocks, trying to do what he thinks is best, in his own pursuit of “the truth.”
I heard a well known modern day philosopher say that he “would rather be wise than smart”.
There was also a great quote about the fact that just because you are a Nobel Laureate, doesn’t make you a good husband/father.

Sid,
Kym is welcome to post as much of your bullshit that she feels contributes to the conversation.
I however wont be responding to you in the future.
I dont fraternize with people who think Sandy Hook was fake.
Its easy to see physchosis loves company…
I prefer to work alone.
The error you make is using that paint roller instead of a fine tip brush, when you incorrectly accuse me of something I’ve never done.
You are a good person, I’m assuming, who needs love and support and a gentle reminder to use your gifts in a better fashion.
Fair enough that many people here are pointing out the obvious, and your voice is losing its relevance, when you push the negative side effects of your thought processes.
“Righteous indignation ”
You can accept it from Kym, but being a positive part of the conversation will help your points.
Intolerance is an equal opportunity employer.
The links though guest! He offers links! Even though you can find anything on the internet to support your cause, TRB has links to it! Its all about the links, I tell you man!
Providing facts to back up your argument is generally considered a good thing not a bad thing.
Links are not facts. They are simply more information that requires judgement too. Frequently, depending on the person doing the linking, they are just a reference to another person sharing the same opinion. As if two people having a mistaken idea are better than one. It’s surprising the number of people who can’t distinguish the difference.
@ Kym, I responded to guest here.
Is it not worthy or appropriate?
Or am I wrong in thinking I hit ” post comment” and there is nothing in your queue?
Sorry to bother you.
“Anger is a gift, patience is a virtue.”
As an anonymous Guest, I dont know what your talking about.
Please provide a link.
If your the same Guest as above, I just said your full of shit, not racist.
Staying anonymous as Guest means me and others may misidentify you with other anonymous Guests, who may be be posting racist comments.
It’s your choice to be “Guest”.
Or maybe I unjustly accused you. But that is why I asked for a link.
OMG! Brian posts links! Run! Hide!
Please explain, in the light of accusations that came to the fore during the nominations of Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, how the dispositions of the issue reflected “white power” in the case of Kavanaugh but not in that of Thomas. Or did it reflect “white power” with Thomas in the way you contend it did with Kavanaugh?
Yeah, I’m gonna keep bugging you until you either provide a satisfactory logical explanation or concede the point.
I’m no expert on Clarence Thomas.
But firstly, Anita Hill was not raped. She accused Thomas of sexual harassment.
Brett K. was accused of rape.
Thomas was nominated by white power and voted in through white power.
But I dont think Brett K. and Clarence Thomas cases are very similar, other than in both instances it was better to be a man than a woman.
It was a white men not listening to a black woman, if I must find something racial quickly for your example.
Joe Biden recently apologized to Anita for his part in not listening to her.
On 25 April 2019, the 2020 US presidential campaign team for Joe Biden disclosed that he had called Ms. Hill to express “his regret for what she endured” 28 years ago, when, as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he presided over the confirmation hearings in which she accused Clarence Thomas, President George Bush’s nominee to the Supreme Court, of sexual harassment. Ms. Hill said the call from Mr. Biden left her feeling deeply unsatisfied.[42][43]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Hill
Fail!
Kavanaugh’s accuser was found not credible. There was a reason she had to be persuaded to testify: she did not want the accusations contained in her letter to Feinstein to face the scrutiny of a full investigation with a public hearing.
If you want to compare the allegations against Thomas and Kavanaugh, you could just as easily contend that the Thomas case was stronger because the alleged incidents took place between adults and in the then-recent past.
In both the Thomas and the Kavanaugh cases the politically opportunistic allegations, not supported by any record of any established process, were deemed out of line. You have no basis for contending that those results were based on “white power.”
Joe Biden is responding like a jellyfish to the identity-baiting that has broken out in the Democratic nominating process.
You can believe whatever makes you feel safest thirdeye.
Well that’s a matter of opinion now isn’t it?
And, the Poor White Me contingent is still trying to peddle their twisted altright bs. As annoying as fungus gnats.
There’s been a handful of violent criminals from the same southern state here very recently. Been paying attention? Interesting that they didn’t report where this moron is from.
Mr Erik Kirk.
Good job! I followed your pingback to your article.
I’m glad others are noting what’s happening.
The threads that really lit up recently were about white supremacist propaganda posters. Does that mean we have an undue prejudice against white supremacists?
No, the that white supremacy thread ended up becoming about the problems with blacks. Poor, uneducated, single mothers…..you know all the shit you said here too.
Trying to compare the BPP of 1960s to white supremacists in the 2020s.
Pretty fucking blatant racism.
Some even found a way to highlight the upsides to slavery.

….. on a white supremacist flyer article.
You linked to the wrong post. Given your manipulative approach to these issues, I suspect deliberate deception.
Here’s a link to the post that tried to claim an upside to slavery.
https://kymkemp.com/2019/07/11/male-juvenile-identified-as-posting-white-supremacist-recruiting-fliers-in-eureka/#comment-835094
Uneducated single mothers of any race tend to cause problems down the road. You’re the one trying to rationalize such problems by invoking race. Daniel Patrick Moynihan was on the money.
Your manipulative game of trying to tar anyone who disagrees with your POC-can-do-no-wrong-because-of-historical-grievances narrative as racist is old, tired, and played out. And it plays into the hands of white extremists.
Anyone can read the threads on the neo-Nazi poster themselves and decide whose arguments have merit.
Actually you are the one with the manipulative game, straight out of Gaslighting for Dummies. Who do you think reads and comments here, a bunch of dumbshits? I see a lot of altright word salad bs repeated over and over and no matter how many times you repeat it , it always ends up the same, pure bs.
Is the obvious that the arrested fellow is black? Is that the point you soooo wish you could make? Have you scrolled through the crime pages on here? It is not dominated by black folks, it is dominated by the local white population. Does that mean we should all be terrified of every white person we see? should we share a knowing nod everytime another white guy gets arrested for car prowling and drug possession?
I’d submit that we should all take a moment to recognize how many internalized biases we carry around everyday and how unhelpful they actually end up being in helping us to navigate this muddy world.
The article just below this one on the couple that committed strong armed robbery similar to this crime only has 3 comments. I wish I could state the obvious.
Good obvious point & example Daniel! Proof in the pudding if there ever was!
Not so fast JustSomeGuy.
Our internalized biases are why we are alive today 7/18/19. Up until recently humans procreated primarily as a result of bias in mate selection. Imagine if bias didn’t make the rules required for our existence.
Young humans just reaching reproductive age, don’t believe mating bias exists. Old folks understand the bias and ask for the permission to leave biases unchanged.
Darwin’s explanation confirms the importance of mating bias.
Can political correctness ever be correct ? No, it’ll never happen as long as 3 people are still alive.
Statistics 101. Compare the number of crimes associated with certain groups to their portion of the overall population, then decide if whether or not there is a disproportionate representation of some groups. The raw numbers of crimes do not provide a meaningful comparison without knowing what portion of the local population is within any given group.
Yes, there are risk factors that help identify whites to avoid – druggies hanging out, belligerent guys with skateboards…….
What city is he from ?
What city is he from? Most likely hell. Did you think he was a Somes Bar native?
Definitely better think about building walls because we don’t have any native born folks capable of this…(sarcasm for those who have trouble detecting it.)
i build walls every time i move to a new house. nice big beautiful walls. hey walls work
Yes they do.
I wonder if Gavin Newsom lives behind a wall? Maybe we should build bridges over the rio grande instead of a wall? Bridges with free government cheese and foot massages on the other side? Hmmm I might be on to something here.
Oddly Area 51 has no fences.
Yet no trespassing goes on there.
West Baltimore perhaps?
UGLYVILLE!
Sacramento ..
Good job granny!
chicken pot pie? so far willie there has been zero proof of your claim and i honestly don’t get it.
Wish he would have hit my house…both would have left in body bags and the coroner would to attempting to notify next of kin. If these POS have any.
That’s why they didn’t; most punk criminals prey on weaker targets.
Looking California, feeling Minnesota?
Wish Chris was still alive!!!
“‘My dogs woke me up growling menacingly…about 2:30’…..She closed and relocked the door. But then her dogs alerted towards the back of the house. She says she was particularly concerned because, ‘My dogs normally they just barked. [This time,] they just had a deep menacing growl.’
Dogs are awesome.
Yes they are.
That was my main take away from the story as well.
That’s why so many people have dogs.
We created a whole new line of animal because they gave up independence for us protecting and supporting them.
A good cat will kill mice and rats that are not as big a problem in most homes.
Great job reporting, Kym! You get the whole story, fleshed out.
I was always confused on what word to use, flesh or flush…until just the other day.
Now, your example cinches it. No more confusion.
Horrible, hope they get locked away!!
Fully!
Dogs are awesome!
Grandmas are awesome!
The sheriff was awesome!
The victim/survivor defended himself heroically!
All 4 deserve a medal for their outstanding bravery!
I agree with ‘quest’
I wish I could say the obvious too. Oh never mind I will. Weed related!!
Is the suspect local?
Seems the worst criminals come in from somewhere (most likely hell) to try to prey on the locals.
2 grown “men/cowards” with guns in the middle of the night trying to go after a grandma and her dog in her own home, sick!
They should get life in prison.
Foiled again criminals.
Despite being only 13% of the population these young fellas such stay quite busy!!
Young men are only about 12% of the population in California and yet are responsible for the largest proportion of the crimes. Damn, do you think we should build a wall and keep them out? I hope not. I have three of my own.
No, but if they tried to bring their whole southern continent with them, we should sure consider a wall!
My, aren’t you coy.
A wall to keep teenagers out? Now there’s a worthy cause. But only if it’s all races of teenagers.
I’d kind of miss mine.
A big wall! Keep those damn kids off my lawn!

Actually we did have a “wall” for young men. Military draft. But the time they got out, they were much more self controlled. But as usual, the ability to misuse a military took over, making it a bigger abuse of than a solution to adolescent ineptitude.
if this is a racist comment then it is 12.6% and then that is all african americans now if you mean black males the percentage would be less than half that but i would look to the statistic of males raised without fathers and crime rates, then you would see a huge correlation
You really love these threads don’t u? I can picture u grinning to yourself anytime a post about a not white person pops up. Can’t wait to post some infantile non-clever remark any chance you get. Tax payer maybe you should get out more and meet some people, broaden your horizons a bit. Nah probably too late for that.
Nailed it.
[edit: If you have evidence, contact law enforcement. However, on this page, please don’t accuse people without evidence.]
She has lost all credibility after being found to delete and ban commenters from her facebook group. i have personal knowledge. as far as the granny goes, do you really think someone cooking meth in a house would let law enforcement in to that house. the chemical smell never goes away and historically these houses have to be demolished.
🕯🌳👍🏽
Granny honey, you did great in calling the cops…. but… next time, please, don’t unlock and open the door. Oh, and exchanging neighbor phone numbers in order to call each other to share warnings would be a great idea too.
These news releases lately really leave us scratching our heads.
Don’t intervene.
Open your door in the middle of the night and yell ‘hark! who goes there?’.
Advertise that you’re alone and without protection, minus the growls of doggies.
With PR releases like these, who needs enemies?
Well looks like he made mama proud. Execute that pos
The foot chase was across the street from my house. Deputy took off after the guy, but left his sireeeen going for a few minutes. That’s okay, because my wife wanted to walk out and see what was going on. I tried to ‘splain why she shouldn’t, but… At least they caught one guy. THANK YOU TO ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE INVOLVED!!!
These poor young oppressed men did nothing wrong. They’re just undocumented tenants. If the old folks would have just put up a “gun free zone” sign, the thieves would have just went somewhere else. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
I will state the obvious: Why were these two particular residences targeted by the criminals? Was it random, or something else?
Well if I would have carefully read this article instead of the LoCo version, I never would have posted my first comment above.
That’s not irie.
We should have pity on the alleged theif.
He could be disadvantaged by society in some way….
He wasnt provided with all the accoutrements that those damn people that work have…
Free up you socialist shits!
He needs …..
Housing
A Vehicle
And Money
I bet you think your so funny, Good luck with that.
Yep. This type of comment gets repeated over and over. So boring, so old, makes no sense and is easily scoffed at. Kinda sad.
A clear attempt at wealth redistribution. At least they were only hiding behind masks and not hiding behind government bureaucracies.
Just another example why we left this xxxx hole, the people associated with crime and drugs and people that accept it as there own Wild West. Have your day Humboldt poverty has down loaded, no weed no money.
Uh oh, Emeral! Don’t know how long your post is gonna last😀
[…] the skin color of the person photographed in that third story. Now go to those comments (84 now, 1 added since I took the screenshot). Note the very first comment: “I really […]
Yo!!!
That is a real racist trope.
Why didnt emerals post get deleted?
He may be a shithead alleged thief but bigoted slurs are not tolerated!
Yo!!!
You all tend to call me a racist for not having compassion for illegal aliens or derelicts…..
But you allow emeral to express actual racist sentiment without rebuke.
Shenanigans! You hypocrit shits!
You wouldn’t know actual racism if it was right in front of you!
All anyone needs to do, for a simple bit of research is open the “Crime” tab at KymKemp.
There are hundreds of pages if not thousands. Each page has 10 posts.
Some posts are regarding cannafarm raids.
Some are vehicle related – and if you remember examples like Marci Kitchen, I would count some as violent crime, but didn’t yet.
Anyhow, just go looking through the pages.
https://kymkemp.com/category/crime-2/
I’ll help crunch the numbers if someone wants to get real crunchy.
Also notice the comment counts. If the crimes are from a minority, the comment count is larger. Mostly comments condemning minorities for their crimes.
(Excluding the recent white Supremacist flyer, which was an article about white power, but still be ame a discussion of the problems with blacks)
But most comment counts are quite lower when the crime is by white people.
It seems the big white struggle mostly lies in trying to stay out of the crime section for Humboldt county.
Another struggle may be trying to come to terms with your racial bias as a community, in general.
Comment counts are larger because of back and forth banter. Nobody’s apologizing for violent white criminals around here.
No one is attacking white criminals for the color of their skin and insinuating their entire race is violent either. The comment count is up for several reasons, including the fact that the story has information that other websites don’t, BUT one reason is the racial tension. Brian is right. In general, posts with those of non-white ethnicity get more comments many with racist undertones or overtones (I’ve deleted several that violate my rather light rules.)
Thank you, Kym
Race baiting is too easy. Easy distraction, like gender, sex etc. You’re no stranger to the fact that internet addicts are idiots. Brain dead wastes of oxygen. You know better than anybody who the regulars are on your blog. So what do you expect from them but low blows? That said, if you look at comments as either insulting or not, then what? I’ll tell you: you see insults, to which very few argue with anybody calling a white criminal an ugly fat inbred hick. I dare you to either write or commission an article about political correctness. It’s a stupid game that fuels itself. The more you ban a word, the more power the word has, and more brain dead wastes of oxygen will try to push peoples’ buttons with it. Case in point, this post on this blog, which is a form of modern day public humiliation in the first place.
Just a quick perusal of your “crime” folder and the stories that are just press releases don’t tend to get many comments. Marijuana stories get a lot.
This story is particularly brazen. Home invasion while occupied is not the usual anywhere in the USA. The first hand account plus video certainly draws more eyes to it.
Outside of pot this is the most comments (in the last few weeks)prior to the confused white kid poster:
https://kymkemp.com/2019/06/29/driver-tried-to-flee-last-nights-fatal-crash-into-home-on-foot-but-citizens-captured-and-held-him/
This one is a pretty low count and he is not white:
https://kymkemp.com/2019/06/28/passenger-believed-to-have-tossed-heroin-out-car-window-so-was-arrested-says-hcso/
Classic.
We can spend the next 5 days giving single examples for any point.
But as a whole, I’m right.
Did you read the article that was pingbacked @ your comment? You’re just trying to find examples to defend your bias.
Regarding the posts, unfortunately you have to click each article around page 7 of Crime, that’s where the comment count isn’t visible anymore.
I actually did this 2 months ago, when I was tired of racist hypocrisy. I explored it long enough.
My point is true and accurate:

Those three articles combined dont have more comments than this one.
And none are regarding the race of the pretty white boys.
There are more racist comments on this one thread than total comments on those 3.
Look at my response. It took me moments to compile that.
Because it’s really frickin simple what’s going on…
No pingback on my comment. To what are you referring?
One of your linked stories is a press release. .. as I noted, press releases don’t get many comments. The other 2 are pretty short on narrative.
This story is long on narrative with video. And a very brazen crime.
I figured my comment would spur you. Do a real statistical sample and let us know how racist we really are.

Sid,
You still are afraid to take a position on Sandy Hook.
I’m not afraid to take positions.
Call it what you will.
@kym.
This is what he does, when he want’s to fight.
He’s probably more confident behind the keyboard.
I’ve never made statements to what sandy hook, yet he keeps pushing…
For what?
Picking a fight?
There’s more at stake than challenging me to engage in his deliberate attempts to paint me with a wide brush.
I’ve tried to be specific about his tactics and plenty of people are getting fed up with his way of hijacking these threads.
I appreciate it when his contributions are solution based and unifying, but it’s getting real tense around here and weaponizing the language can have consequences…
I don’t mean to focus on him. There’s too much real work to do with all these challenges facing our community.
Grateful for the forum, kym.
I know you got your hands full….
Peace
The pingback was on your comment.
It moved to a comment below yours. I think what happened was someone responded to you and it moved the ping down. It also makes it seem like the comment is not a response to you.
Your “financial redistribution” comment was part of the reason this was written.
https://kunsoo1024.wordpress.com/2019/07/17/do-you-want-to-know-what-collective-racism-is/
I dont know that your racist, but I know you have a bias.
It’s very evident most people do. The Triangle is of the Emerald type, not Bermuda. So we didnt mysteriously shed bias and racism when the rest of America hasn’t.
Its evident in the comments, through the articles.
Notice how little race comments came after I posted my original comment regarding race comments.
All people have bias. The only difference is those that know they do and those that don’t.
🕯🌳Agree.
My comment with regards to wealth redistribution was a clear political comment. I’ve made the same quip in various articles about theft with an equal distribution of sarcasm regardless of professed race or gender.
“Don’t steal. The government hates competition. ” Ron Paul
Mostly, I 100% laugh at your sarcasm.
I support comedic freedoms, and hope you keep up with the quips.
I think it’s hard to please everyone.
I do think we can have bias, and I think that bias was in large part showing itself in the thread, as it normally does, ( not with you necessarily) like I pointed out.
Unfortunately, with Trump being as loud of an asshole that he has been this week, combined with white supremacy fliers in town, and the ensuing debates in the thread, I think this was not the best comedic timing or point..
Regards
Actually, to present a different perspective, I actually think this thread got a lot of comments, mostly not attuned to the color of the perpetrator skin.. but because it was a crime against an Older person in his home, without obvious provocation.. that’s alarming! Maybe some of the commentaries reflect racial overtones.. True enough.. But I also think the scope of the crime is Jarring!
To be fair I attack white criminals regularly, but I usually call them tweakers.
Yes you do.
But you dont tell them to “go back where they came from”, Mike.
And you dont call them crackers, white trash, or anything near anything racially charged.
More of my point.
I have advocated for deporting them to Australia. It makes a better penal colony than a tourist destination. I don’t care if you’re white, black or brown, I only care if your a drug addict. Or a idiot. Drug addicts and idiots are really the problem. Oh and of course Arcata. We should have a wall around Arcata.
Fair enough Mike.
I wasn’t calling anyone out specifically, just pointing out a general trend for our local thread.
I think its telling.
If you looked at my comment the second it was posted, which I doubt, you had a little over an hour to read and study.
Are you sure you’re happy with you’re “look closer” moniker?
Essentially no one talks about white crime the same way they talk about minorities crimes, especially black and hispanic.
Are you an internet addict, “real brian”? As long as people make it their job to treat adults like two-year-olds, there will be adults who make a career out of behaving like two-year-olds.
I respectfully decline your invitation to digress into a debate regarding a 2 year old’s career choices as an adult in internet addictions.
But thanks anyway. It sounds fascinating….
😂 someone’s sarcasm that’s actually funny!
Sometimes I wonder if others are laughing too.
Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone.
That was funny, believe me.
IIRC you had one of the larger amounts of posts in the thread about the white supremacist flyer. By your own logic that makes you racist.
Damnation. No wonder Humboldt Co is becoming such a mess. People taking the easy, non thinking route at the slightest excuse. Yes I think there has been a gang related targeting of Humboldt Co. And I think that gang consists of black men from the East Bay. But to say that black people are all bad because of one group is a mindless response as is the knee jerk refusal to admit the obvious. Having problems with a black gang does not mean that there aren’t Irish American gangs somewhere targeting someone else. Or Russian or Mexicans or any other identity. The lefties are right about one thing- it didn’t take much for the villagers to come out with their pitchforks and feel justified being a mob.
What I wonder is why out local police have not acted to stop this group? They must know who these people are.
you wouldn’t last 3 minutes inside.
Cant show posts of me pointing out actual racism.???
Keep me under your racist calling thumb.
Kym would like us all to be painted as racist I guess.
She’ll probably delete this post.
There must be some profit in it.
Sigh, are you, like Central HumCo, insinuating that I deleted one of your posts unjustly?
You have no deleted posts. You just apparently are having trouble locating it. I will gladly find it for you and link to it if you need this “racist calling” woman’s help…
I have a certain slant of my own.
When posts disappear that have not violated your rules leads me to believe that sometimes you use your power injudiciously.
With bias.
It misportrays and misrepresents where Im coming from.
That’s your right.
I am but an interloper…
If we could only be so lucky that the woman in charge would put her judgement, not bias, into play for moderating more….
If only.
I checked. You have not been deleted. If you want to tell me keywords from the post you think has been deleted, I can find it and link to it for you.

The reply you made to Emeral no longer shows because his comment was deleted. Technically, it wasn’t deleted—his was. That’s the way the website works.
“Sigh, are you, like Central HumCo”
~same song different day – BORING as hell.
Thanks for your fairness.
You don’t delete comments,
unless it’s personal information or done this like that.
I posted a comment and it’s nowhere to be found. Saved it cause it’s not the first time. Just tried 4 or 5 times again and mysteriously it’s lost in cyberspace.
The one to Brian? I just now looked at it and deleted it.
I didn’t say anything any more offensive than other comments on this article; I just have the wrong opinion. SOP for the left. I guess it was just a matter of time.
Oh, for god’s sake, If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been reining in the personal attacks. Brian, as well as others, are getting deleted for long comments spent telling the other person how bad they are.
Argue ideas. Not the fact you don’t like someone else.
I very thoroughly argued ideas….that you don’t like. I made very rational arguments, such as the uptick in black crime in a white community, and reasoned that it makes sense that there are more comments due to that fact, not because people are racist. People, who don’t have their heads buried in the sand of political correctness, are noticing this as a recent phenomena, which is another reason people are talking, not simply because their racist. To bolster that point, I challenged Brian to look back 5,6,7 years at the comment section to see that this is a relatively recent phenomena.
The most offensive thing I said was that Brian is “the real fucking problem. Well he is. Throwing the word racist around with abandon and assuming people’s ulterior motives is dangerous. It is the reason people get smashed in the head with bike locks, and journalists get beaten to the point of a brain hemorrhage by groups like Antifa. The points I made I haven’t seen anyone else make and could potentially shed some light on alternative reasons why people are commenting. Maybe it’s not as simplistic as “he’s a racist”. Perhaps some punk, seething with hatred and bent on violence would have read my tirade and had some understanding shed into his shallow brain. Perhaps some tragedy would have been averted.
Kym, you admitted yourself that you don’t want to be seen as even partially agreeing with me as it could be dangerous. That is a rational fear and, unfortunately, what this country has devolved into. My comments are dripping with sarcasm I admit, but as I pointed out recently, are nowhere near as insulting, or dangerous, as being labeled a racist. The ideas that I argued offered rational, alternative reasons as to the potential motives of commenters, yet you whitewashed them anyway. I’m sure it gave you satisfaction but if what I’m saying is true, that my sarcasm is less dangerous than being labeled a racist (of course that’s true), then it comes off as petty and self serving. And if you have whitewashed ideas that offer an alternative to the racist narrative that liberals so wantonly throw around, you only solidify the belief that liberals are not interested in debate or free speech, hence my incessant cynicism.
Me pointing out racism in general should not be a problem for you.
Prejudice may be a more suitable term?
Your comment above says this:
To bolster that point, I challenged Brian to look back 5,6,7 years at the comment section to see that this is a relatively recent phenomena.
Yes. That’s true. The rise of Trump has given more voice to prejudice, bigotry and racism.
But no one likes to be called a racist or prejudiced, really.
The RAM leader claims his organization isn’t racist and complains he doesn’t even know what the word “racism” means.

The next day, “RAM members collectively pushed, punched, kicked, chocked, head-butted, and otherwise assaulted several individuals, resulting in a riot,” the office said.

On race and prejudice:
-Prejudice refers to a preconceived idea about a particular group, while racism involves an unequal distribution of power on the basis of race.
-Sociologists have found that racism has led to a wide range of detrimental outcomes for people of color, including unequal access to jobs and housing, as well as an increased risk of being a victim of police brutality.
-According to the sociological perspective, members of privileged groups can experience prejudice, but their experience will be different than the experience of someone who experiences systemic racism.

I’m not advocating for antifa by saying any of this.
The country is absolutely turning zenophobic with Trump at the healm.
Thanks for the reminder…
I don’t think Trump can take credit for that.
I think there are forces working to amplify the hatred and it will erupt, because it is the means to further erode civil liberties and will be the excuse for militarization on our streets.
Urban Warfare in the Middle East has been the training ground for our troops.
Peace is not a profitable business model,

You, me and the General agree.
Most my comments haven’t shown up despite my meticulous following of the rules (cough) but ever since Monday raids started it seems my phones don’t work good for me in northern mendo. I doubt it’s a coincidence….
I was gone today taking my kid to Davis. I’m moderating now.
Pares Pool and his cousin are from Sacramento .Came to rob people ,
Actually.. Elders beware.. Regardless of Skin color of the perpetrator… there is a trend of youth targeting the elderly for home invasions.. it sad.. however true.. not just in Humboldt, but in California… It’s extremely disgraceful, frightening, and extremely alarming… please be aware.. and stay safe..
This fella is the poster child for serious gun ownership. Take back your community, one home invasion specialist at a time.
Thanks,
how many, or type of guns would you recommend?
A good gun for home defense is a pump shotgun with a short (legal length) barrel . Remington or Mossberg seem to be the old standby.
A hand gun is perhaps a bit more useful. However — and a big however — is becoming proficient with a handgun takes practice under competent instruction, then regular practice. I believe a good revolver is better than an auto; largely because they`re simpler in operation. Smith and Wesson or Ruger are quality guns.
The most important part of having a firearm for defense is practice and familiarity. Under conditions of stress — such as when your house is being broke into in the middle of the night — your fine motor control immediately fails. This isn`t the time to figure out how your gun works. There is a good reason soldiers, cops (the good ones), etc. drill and practie to the point of reflex action.
Remember, your weapon does no good whatsoever if it`s not in your hand when you need it or if you can`t operate it.
Yessir. Whatever you get know how to use it and know it well. The best firearm is the one you have in your hand.
Short of that carry a club and know how to mimic the sound of racking a round in a shotgun. That’s scary enough to chase most people off.
If you have children in the house or potentially visiting, keep your hand gun secured in a quick access lock box / safe, of which there are many options. And if you can, teach your children how to shoot and safely handle firearms, that takes the mystery ot of it and teaches responsibility. And they might be the ones saving you depending on the circumstances.
If you have children in the house teach them the proper use and respect of a firearm.
Proper, secure storage is a must.
Thanks.
🕯🌳Same deal as the darkroom come to 11th main in Fortuna yell out my name and I’ll come and give you the story of that night.
Let’s not lose sight of what’s important, here. Dude got beat up by an old man, and his bff ran away like a punk.
Inner city black youths buying grams of Sour Diesel for 20 dollars a piece are now heading to Humboldt county with drool hanging from their mouths and desperation in their eyes.
“But bro , this is medicine for the people, not drugs to the masses for my own self gain”.

If Trump raised his right hand in a Sieg Heil, his cultists would not hesitate to follow along.
Certainly every member of his cabinet would snap to attention and praise the Dear Leader.
These are deeply disturbing times and we normalize them at our peril.
– Jared Huffman, today on twitterati.
Dear #TrumpRally people chanting “send her @IlhanMN back” — remember it’s the sacrifice of this proud Muslim American US Marine & others like me that allows YOU to be YOU. Be grateful!
To Ilhan & others being scapegoated: this US Marine has your back! March on!
https://mobile.twitter.com/mansoortshams/status/1151685897957597186
Whether you like Ilhan or not, anybody who speaks truth to power like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InGCmxCjaWE
deserves respect. Period. Elliott Abrams is an [edit] neocon war criminal. While many of us sit around bickering about and fearing groups like ISIS or ms13, [edit]tard’s like this run the country and control the largest military in the world. Planetary omnicide is what awaits us if we don’t change our course in the short term.
Thanks for sharing that, Erik.
🕯🌳🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏽
Personally, I am pretty disappointed with Jared Huffman’s Leadership ATM.. Especially regarding doing little to stem the tide on the “human rights abuses” that are about to go down here in the Triangle.. I don’t 💯 agree with Ilhan.. But I generally do like her, and am glad she got elected.. Those childish Bully chant Trumpers like to throw around are disgusting and disgraceful! TY for the link Eric.. I do not generally watch TV..
Figures you’d think that but it’s actually the Democrats that refused to condemn hatred of Jews and use of antisemitic language by their members. And Trump did admonish his followers. Not all conservatives agree with leadership and saying so just shows close mindedness. The left has raised its hand many time to attack and hate anyone that has a different opinion. Do you know any actual conservatives? I do and they are not racist they are decent people who go to work, raise families, pay taxes, volunteer, recycle, and take their trash to the dump. They also cry at the loss of their loved ones as do liberals. They have to buy groceries or garden to have food. It’s a fool’s errand to label and group of any name, race, gender, religion, or politics as all the same. Why does the liberal party believe every group in this nation deserves a voice and freedom EXCEPT conservatives and Republicans? That in itself is hypocrisy.
This Crock-Pot (thread) has bubbled it’s lid right off !!!
It WAS about some dogs and a grandma on the phone to the police regarding two shit-heads that busted in on a neighbor. Or did we misread.
Saw a fellow that exactly matched the description of red shoes, he was wearing all black, and wore a regular baseball cap, not a flat brim, he was riding a bicycle at 5th and A street Eureka, July18th at about 1130am.
You all are dumb. This isnt about politics this is about lazy punk thieves beating up an old man, probably for drug money. In crescent city there are 3 to 6 vehicle robberies a day and the same amount of bike thefts, many from tourists, families here on a vacation they worked their asses of to take their families on. There is good in both parties. It is absurd and ignorant to say any one group is the same or deserved to be treated differently (duh that is the whole idea of racism remember?). I cannot even believe how you people sound. They beat up a 60 year old man!! And this is a political problem? You guys have so much hate in your hearts to talk about people you dont know this way! The kids on the street here are so high on meth and heroin it is tragic! My own daughter chooses to live in a camp and use meth. She chooses it! Young people are choosing it because there are no consequences for stealing, using, or even committing violent crimes such as stabbing. These are 18 to 25 year olds, and many of them have homes and families willing to do whatever it takes to help them. Instead hateful people insisting on blaming others give them excuses and blame victims for working and paying rent. You all need to turn of TV and media and get your ass out in the community and meet some of the actual conservatives and liberals working together to affect change instead of spewing this lazy hateful ignorant crap. Boo you suckers. Just put your names as, CNN, FOX, MSNBC oh wait never mind it’s obvious! These little shits deserve time! Bet you’d feel different if it was you or your loved ones head bashed in.
Lots of this discussion is carried over from the white supremacist flyer discussion.
Many in that discussion used the thread to point out problems with black communities.
It was an article about white supremacy.
Ya, theres some frustrations. Everyone has frustrations.
