So a man drives while under the influence of some drug, carrying a sizable volume of pot in his vehicle, deliberately hits a woman and drives off but all you think is important is to defend pot? [edit]

This was the Van up on the bank and in the ditch on Elk Ridge on Monday December 9th. Also the same guy who’s RV caught fire on Elk Ridge in September 2019. He was told to never be on Elk Ridge again…..hopefully he’s getting to notion he is not welcome.

But come on people…marijuana does not increase crime, so say the So. Humboldt folks. Of course these are the same folks that showed up in mass to shoot down the Terra Gen project because it will harm the view shed or aesthetics of the hills around Petrolia, Scotia, and Rio Dell.

But none of them has shown up yet to protest the huge impact to the view shed and the aesthetics that the white greenhouses are having dotted all over the hills, ridges, and valleys of our great County!!

Pathetic hypocrites!!

Omg really? I don’t even understand the issue with the white greenhouses? Want to live somewhere where there are no people and no mountains to see what everyone else is doing, move to the high plains of the dakotas or wyoming. Just sayin.

I am pretty sure those are not the same groups of people. I, for one, think the greenhouses are as much a pox as the Terra Gen. A little harder to stop the greenhouses, though, and a little less permanent. But I agree with you… it is hypocritical if one feels as you said.

Do you drink wine? What about the fact that grape growers destroyed the Eel River? How about the almond growers in the central valley who poison groundwater and give their neighbors cancer through pesticide drift? And how about the fact that all of their employees are illegal immigrants?

I guess we should just abandon agriculture all together.

JMarie, thank you for caring about the woman who was intentionally struck with a van!! Most of these comments are folks (men?) trying to one up each other talking about trucks with nary a word about the victim. I know that’s sexist but it’s prob true.
I hope she’s recovered.

She’s okay! Thank you to The first person to take any concern in her well being in the comments! She’s got some bruises and a couple scratches. But mainly she’s praying that this psycho gets what he deserves; a humboldt county jail muffin and a big ol sip of powdered milk to wash it down 🙂

Bill, greenhouses can be taken down relatively quickly. Giant multi million dollar wind turbines….. somewhat more permanent. Not that I condone either….but the comparison is poorly thought out imho

Taken down and the plastic put where? That’s one of my worries… where does all the plastic go? Bulldozed into the ground? Burned? Or just left to shred in the wind and blow around the landscape, proud hillbilly style?

My main takeaway from this article was that a woman was intentionally hit by a van. Hence the assault with a deadly weapon charge. I just hope she will be okay.
All else is superfluous.

The pedestrian “victim “ is lying. She has a personal connection with the accused and she is trying to use false allegations (& various other tactics) to harm Lassiter. I have seen her verbally attacking him in public and I have spoken to several people she paid to make false claims against this man. Lie much, Aunt Lisa?
