He resembles Orlando Bloom, going to play with the pirates in the hole

That’s funny! I was wondering why he looked so familiar. I looked at the name, and thought ‘nope’; then I read your comment.

All are probably illegally in the country and doing what they do in their own country. Here they are protected by political fools and think and operate like major criminals because of it and they are even more dangerous here and act even worse then at home where very swift justice would be seen for outlaws like this.

Don’t make producing valuable street drugs your profession and immensely reduce your risk of falling victim to violent robbery. Simple concept.

A fool indeed would even TRY to infuse a slant on politics, especially Obama, into this conversation. FYI: It was the Bush(ler) regime that created all of the ongoing unrest regarding immigration. Actually it was that old bitch union-busting Ronnie Reagan who initiated the ’cause’ but the Bush(ler)s brought it into the front and center position it is now. Remember GW getting tagged for having ‘wets’* working his Texas ranch digs? He soon after ‘let them go, since he hadn’t realized he was in illegal mode! BS! *(his words [on the record], not mine)

What ever happened to that whole “convict AG Eric Holder of treason(or for being an absolutely irresponsible dumbass)”campaign a few years back after “Operation Fast and Furious” shit smeared our justice department….(would saying they were “dirty sanchez’d be going too far?ah whatever, it’s the best I can do at this hour)…. ??? Not to get off topic… Just wondering.

I am confused. Sounds like the robbers shot at themselves. This happened near Yorkville.

Marcos Bautista, 43, of Cloverdale, has died, found at the scene.
Edgar Fidel Contreras, of Windsor, the one who called a friend for help.
Isidro Lopez-Bernal, 26, of Ukiah, and
Mario Godinez-Gonzalez, 25, of Cloverdale, both were arrested on suspicion of murder and robbery.

Who is from Yorkville? Whose grow was it?

It doesn’t sound like anyone was really from Yorkville it was a trespass grow these other guys found our about it or were involved peripherally and decided they wanted a bigger cut of the pie.

Were they so high and nervous that they cross fired themselves?
Or did someone open up after the goods were loaded?
Either way, that’s what you get living less than a tank of gas from SF.

Sad for their families…
