Convoy Headed West From Redway

ConvoyThis morning a convoy of law enforcement gathered between Redway and Garberville at the Cal Fire station then some, at least, headed west on the Briceland Thorn Road. There are reports of over 10 vehicles and between one and three chippers.

According to Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Samantha Karges, deputies from her department are again assisting the Department of Fish and Wildlife with serving a search warrant. Yesterday, they were in the Elk Ridge Road area. Today, they are in the Blue Slide Creek Road area.

We’ve requested more information from the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Same old same old. No.matter what the “law” says. Thanks for letting us know, either way, when militarized police are swooping through neighborhoods like they are in Vietnam or Iraq all for a plant that should be as legal as tomatoes. . ironic that funding for these actions now comes in some part from a lot of people that have either been raided or had to deal with raids. Most of the permit holders have been rocking for years, in the “black” market, now under the guise of some white market savior’s coming into the light. Gimme a break. The biggest joke is listening to people that have made their entire adult living selling her talk about the “”black market” y’all are too priveledged. Until it’s treated like a plant, nothing has changed. Hope everyone has a awesome spring. And don’t piss off your neighbors, they are more likely to rat these days for their own well being.. such a silly spectacle to watch. I notice a lot of guys and girls who grow now ask “did you guys get a permit” ? In colloquial conversation. None of your business.

There’s an older guy with a beard tied in a ‘pony tail’ that drives a blue Ford truck around Fortuna and Rio Dell. He has a handicap placard, yet he rides a Harley all over; and walks and moves just fine. He takes handicap parking from the real handicap people who need it.

Who qualifies for a Disabled Person (DP) Parking Placard or DP License Plates?

You may qualify for a DP placard or DP license plates if you have impaired mobility due to having lost use of one or more lower extremities, or both hands, or have a diagnosed disease that substantially impairs or interferes with mobility, or one who is severely disabled to be unable to move without the aid of an assistive device. You may also qualify if you have specific, documented visual problems, including lower-vision or partial-sightedness.

This was a direct copy from California DMV

Most states consider drivers disabled if they:

Don’t have full use of one or both arms.
Can’t walk a set number of feet without stopping to rest. Some states set this number as low as 50; others, as high as 200.
Can’t walk without using a cane, crutch, brace, prosthetic device, wheelchair, or the assistance of another person.
Have a Class III or Class IV cardiac condition, as set by the American Heart Association.
Must have portable oxygen to walk.
Have a visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with correcting lenses.
Have a visual acuity of 20/200 but with a limited field of vision in which the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle of 20 degrees or less.

The entire history of humanity can be summed up as people murdering other people for resources. As long as ganga sells for more $$ than heirloom tomatoes, it’s gonna be a valuable resource, and people are gonna get murdered. Taxes and arrests and militarized police swooping through neighborhoods and environmental degradation are just ancillary details to the resources-murder narrative. (Though the environmental degradation narrative is finally maybe eclipsing this soon.)

The solution is to inspire about 10,000 “Johnny Ganjaseeds” to grow enough of this resource and sharing it freely that it costs about the same as juicy tomatoes.

You can look up the property and the ownership pretty easily at the courthouse. Pretty sure the owner of record at that time was [edit]?

Kim,

I don’t understand why you’re alerting potential criminals that the law is on the way. That gives them the opportunity to flee and/or hide their guns/illegal money/drugs etc.

If your purpose is to inform the public about what’s going on in their community (which is important), why not wait until after the busts have occured? As it stands, you’re giving aid to the criminal growers, since a legal grow has nothing to be concerned about from a caravan like this.

I’m confused. Do you support protecting illegal grows from being shut down?

Wasn’t the purpose of the laws to regulate unpermited grows? Seems there is no hidden agenda when the fees used from permitted grows are used to eliminate unpermitted grows as per the regulation. I wonder if the permitted growers are ok with having their undercutting competition eliminated.

Not sure there’s a budget for that much! Follow the money. Pretty sure Fish and Game got some funding and they are the lead agency here. HCSD just following along for backup and perhaps as a requirement? The state Fish and Game budget for enforcement is where you’ll find some basis for a good guess- possibly it’s broken down by region? Anyways a good thing to be aware of is that Fish and Game does not need a search warrant if they suspect an environmental crime. So yes- we have gone backwards in civil liberties with “legalization”. Fish and Game is now the lead enforcement agency. Where most of us used to feel they were the “good guys” like CalFire they are now worse than the sheriff ever was. Think CAMP. It’s sad. I’ve worked with them on stream rehab projects but now would never dream of allowing them anywhere near my place. They are creating new infractions every day so do not think you are cool with them. Do not be fooled! They can find something on any property and it will cost you $10,000 a day!

I find it hilarious how the Governor and his pet teams of legislators and lawyers decide for themselves which Federal laws to nullify and which ones to keep.
I find it sad that the people are so indoctrinated, they believe that the “officials” have reign over them.
READ the constitution. Don’t follow talking heads who spin you every which way from Sunday.

HINT: The Constitution limits the government to mostly FOREIGN Commerce (including drugs across the borders), FOREIGN Negotiations (including who they can make deals with which, btw, doesn’t include YOUR city-county-state- officials), FOREIGN Peace (keeping the peace is their main job, so our country can be secure in our own homes), Foreign War (not homeland division propaganda stirring up wars between the citizens), … key word is FOREIGN.
Notice, it is ‘mostly’ limited to. What does that mean? That means that govt can ask a state for permission to build a railroad, port, post office, ammo dump, fort, … things relating to the DELEGATED duties set down in writing for them to do, so they can fulfill their duties delegated to them. You can’t have communications without post offices, or training areas without forts, or travel without federal hiways and ports, … ect…

What is a slush fund? How do they fill it? Why do they fill it? What is kept secret? What is being exposed? How many trillions of dollars went missing? Why did it go missing?

Stop referring to the Declaration of Independence and calling it the Constitution. They are not the same.

Guest,the Declaration of Independence was the promise; the Constitution
was the fulfillment. The DOI explained why the people broke away from tyrants and why they were forming a new country. The Constitution was the fulfillment of the declaration.
The Bill of Rights is an example list of what the Blessings of Liberty is. The Blessings of Liberty are our inalienable God given rights that each individual is born with. The right to be left alone without hassle from anyone is one of the strongest desires of mankind. The BOR cements that right.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form
a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure
domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure
the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our
Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.”

Right before the articles begin, in the Constitution, you’ll find the quote above.
Until one knows what the blessings of liberty means, one will forever be held as captive slaves in their own minds.

The govt is not our Constitution. WE THE PEOPLE are our Constitution. WE elected the officials that WE felt were honorable enough to obey their oath to US, the people. Their oath is to PROTECT and DEFEND our Constitution that limits THEM (all levels, including city-county-state-feds), from infringing on ANY of OUR natural born rights. Would you grow a plant if there were no rulers over you? Would you defend your family if there were no rulers over you telling you you can’t defend anyone because you grew or smoked a plant? Wake up. Know what is a natural right and what is a civil man made right. Nobody has the right to infringe on another’s right. ESPECIALLY NOT the Govts. In fact, the Govts have NO rights at all. They only have the Powers that were delegated to them in the Constitution. People have rights, not Govts.

Sigh. Governments exist to do what individuals need but cannot coordinate on their own. Mostly people can not coodinate because they can not agree on what is to be done nor how to do it if they do agree nor are willing to sacrifice anything to help if they agree with what needs doing and how it needs to be done. Someone is going to be unhappy with government no matter what. Therefore simply objecting is not such a big deal as you make it. It is far from perfect but anarchy is much, much, much further into ugly.

The Declaration of Independence mentions unalienable rights but the Constitution only has the Bill of Rights. Further it does not say. It does not even guarantee directly the right to vote. If your interpretation held, it here would be nothing that anyone ever wanted to do that was not a right and therefore no government at all.

Well, Guest, I’ll not only call you out on your sigh, but I’ll raise with a long one. siiiiigh.
We the people created the Govts. All of them. We are the creators, they are the created. They are our creatures, our critters. We created them for several reasons, and not a single one of those reasons consisted of ‘ruling over us because we’re too stupid to figure it out ourselves.”.
The BOR is an example list of unalienable rights that are to be SECURED by the Govts we the people created. That’s the main reason we created them. Securing, does not mean giving, dividing, denying, partitioning out, micro managing, managing, ignoring, or any of the other scenarios some have somehow taken a notion to believe.
Inalienable rights are not privileges and privileges are not rights.
Inalienable rights are every single person’s and their’s only. They have a right in their property and a property in their right. Nobody has the right to take another’s rights away from them. You take another persons rights away, you face consequences. City, county, state and even feds deal out the consequences through a court of law. We the people created these Govts for setting up a system that creates order out of chaos by using a democratic ballot to vote on the constitutional laws that suit. While it’s true that the courts of today are sadly off track and unconstitutional, it is not true that we their creators can’t fix that. It’s up to us to ring the phones off the hooks and get our legislators to listen up and do right. It’s up to us to Protect our rights. It’s up to them to SECURE our rights. We created the Sheriff’s & fire depts for our protection. We built our own schools, hospitals, libraries, saloons, cafe’s, with the fruits of our labor. We travel and shop freely thanks to our Sheriff’s and Fire depts doing the jobs we pay them to do. Without them, we would lose our homes as soon as we left for town, as anarchists came to claim.
Anarchism wants no govt at all. That’s a totally opposite beast. They want total chaos, so that only the strongest mad max’s in the town take all.

A little too simplified, but I hope the gist somehow rings a bell.

If people are trashing the land, sucking up all the water and scattering poison everywhere then I have no problem at all for the cops and F&G to bust them. Permits or not. I want them busted big time as they are destroying this land we call home. I don’t care if they grow 10 plants or 10,000. In the “old days” KMUD used to let us know where they caravans of cops were headed. Now it’s you, Kym. KMUD is always a day late with most of the news since Estelle left. Now the county has spent tens of thousands on a satellite company that will reveal all those growers who decided not to be compliant. Good grief. The whole thing is a bit fat mess. People are spending tons of money on compliance, and they’re still not done, or it’s a moving target and once you’ve accomplished one thing then another is required. All these people around me grumbling about how our community is being destroyed GO TO THE SUPERVISORS’ MEETINGS OR GO TO SACRAMENTO and tell them what you think. People seem to be too lazy to make the drive and get the results we want. They seem to prefer to sit around and wish they hadn’t voted for legalization. We elect our reps to work for our best interests and now I hear that all that compliance money isn’t going to improve our roads and schools but to pay for law enforcement so that they can go after all the folks without permits. What are most people doing but grumble and complain that it didn’t go their way. Well, if you aren’t part of the solution then you are part of the problem. If the good folks of Arcata can go to their city council and convince them to remove the McKinley statue, can’t we go to Eureka or Sac to get our voices heard. Why aren’t the reps looking at Colorado or Oregon or other places that have legalized cannabis and everyone put their heads together to make this thing work for the good of everyone!? I think there might be a state wide governmental group doing this with, guess who, is their head? Estelle. Strange times indeed. And here we go again. A convoy on the Briceland Rd.

Thanks for being a good neighbor Kim. So important to have good relations with your community when you live in the mountains. A good neighbor gives you a heads up when police are in the neighborhood. 80 percent of growers have no permit and are at risk when these police are on the dirt road prowl. This 80 percent includes friends family and neighbors to many of us. Cutting weed down is one of the lowest forms of policing. These cops are not heroic nor are they saving anyone. Men of honor and heroes in our community are more likely to be firemen. Trash collectors have more integrity than these hired thugs.
