Can you say white trash? Throw the trash out Humboldt!!!
Our population would drop by 3/4.
When I saw the headline I immediately thought of these two. Haha.
Like mother, like daughter. Sad but true. I’m willing to bet someone in their immediate family plays a banjo. Stories like these – you just can’t make them up.
Holy hell!.. I saw these two at the bar last night! Daughter punches some guy in the back of the head and gets kicked out, 60 seconds later mom comes in and hurls a pool ball across the room at the same dude…
Gotta love the sohum bar scene!
I also witnessed them gettin thrown out of stone junction. But I was across the street.
Glad to hear Kenny is back. Good news fir sohum
Kenny is working in Eureka but I called there because it was too early for Garberville.

The difficulty of reporting in a small town is that you often know the people you write about. Often you write about their worst day when you know them in much better circumstances. In this case I know Electra. In all my dealings with her, she has never been anything but helpful and honest. I don’t know what happened but my heart goes out to her.
Best thing I’ve read in the comment section yet.
I would bet alcohol happened. Some of us shouldn’t drink… I was kicked out of the Eureka Knife and Gun Club once (I won’t go into the detail)
Gimme back my EBT card, dammit.
I’ll tell you it was one hell of a ghetto scene,…
Garbervilles finest at it again, turning Garber into garbage,…
give me a break. Bar fights are going on in all bars across America. I don’t hear about that many in town. Screw you calling us garbage. What beautiful city do you come from? Don’t make me go into all the good things about Garberville….I’m too busy.
To be fair, if you are named Electra, life could be a bit hard. Superhero or stirpper are the two occupations that come to mind.
Or Buick
It surprises me how quick people are to judge others. It’s as if they’ve never made mistakes in their lives. It’s easy to feel superior from your couch.
