Good post… BOTH times!!! There seems to be an echo in here!!!
BTW what happened to the save the info button in the sign in section??? It’s NOT there on my screen at least!!! Just wondering!!!
Yes the “remember me” option for commenting disappeared yesterday for me too.
I SEE!!! Said the “Blind Man, to his Deaf Friend”!!! Thanx for the info, maybe if we post about it enough someone will bring it back???!!!
Okay thanks, I thought it was just me 😕⁉️ But it also didn’t hold my comments for approval… So I kinda figured it must be a glitch. Poor Kym😥 Like she doesn’t have enough to do already ⁉️ I really appreciate your help and hard work Mrs Kym ❣️
RIP to the young man and may your family find comfort in one another ♥️
Argh, I have no idea. Let me see if we can figure this out.
Should be fixed now.
Fyi, Its back!
Thank you for letting me know. I thought I’d fixed it but I wasn’t 100% sure.
Somebody commented the junkies not able to get their drugs due to the fires
is making them crazy, causing a spike in crime; makes sense.
Condolences.
Wow, thanks for the info, I live in an area where I need to be careful.
Where is the campground at the Bayshore mall?
Should just say a homeless woman and her homeless child killed someone.
Prayers for the family of this young man. These two SOB’s need to get the death penalty for their cold, heartless act. I pray this will not turn in to another “Kitchen” trial.
Amen Rolo
She doesnt have enough $upport to evade this. And where are the throngs of commenters echoing sentiment for the folks living in this squalor? I seem to recall many commentors begging sympathy and solutions for the members of these camps. Even success stories by city officials who hired someone from there. Well here is the problem. Eureka has been overrun by junkies. @mayor @supes wtf are you all doing about this? Waiting for betty chin t o solve these issues is not acceptable. Clear the camps now! Clean em up, and clear em out. Clean up your city already, it’s filthy.
3 hots and a cott from here on out. Condolences to the family. Tragic this keeps happening in our beautiful Humboldt.
Occult ritual? In a cemetery after all.
I don’t understand how this mother can look at herself after helping her son, (her baby) to turn right into a monster! Helping to arrange the murder of someone else’s child, because her son couldn’t keep a girlfriend at 15. Extremely common problems for such an age, to be solved by dating some other teenage girl, NOT murdering, in cold blood, a child who agreed your ex was attractive. The mother needs to rot in prison for never giving her son the guidance needed, and instead removing him from homes where he may have learned some compassion.
Wow! That’s a lot of detailed information. I take it you know the people involved?
U need to worry about your own messed up kids and remember, she didn’t raise him mark patty and missy did.
Drugs, drugs, drugs…..
My hometown is in shambles. Clean it up Eureka, CALIF.
I can only hope this murder didn’t occur over my Mother’s or Grandparent’s graves.
@mayor @bos Yep yep yep…Clean it up…now!
No comments about her race or skin color… surprise surprise… interesting comments or lack of, for such a heinous crime… where’s all those conservative haters
But aren’t you the one to always point out nationality or race shouldn’t be an issue and those who make do so are evil? Hmm… must be more important to hate on people either way than have a goal.
Nope trolling anti troll
Satire
No. Attack certainly. Sarcasm maybe in a stretch but the remarks lack humor or irony or anything else to make satire. Defining a racist as a conservative hater is simply an simple minded insult.
Maybe put Betty C. in charge of all the transient camps, at least hers aren’t this bad.
