No doubt, he’s out on the streets by now.
Am I the only person in Humboldt that isn’t packing a loaded gun ?
…it should also be stolen.
Yup most of us have a ccw though
Pack legally for scum like this. Ironically there firearms are illegal/stolen with high capacity mags while I have to obey by “moonbeam” laws. Oh well, better than a sharp stick I suppose.
You and this guy because this gun isn’t loaded unless there’s one chambered.
No!!!
Somehow I get the idea that a lot of these people whose mugs I see on this site, i.e., dangerous no-goodniks who don’t seem to be able to do anything but be a burden to society and take advantage of people, aren’t from around the Humboldt/Mendocino area. I’m not, either, but visit there from time to time from L.A., and find it a rather charming place, despite the societal problems. Maybe that’s why Nor Cal locals get an attitude about yo-hos from elsewhere crowding into the place. Feedback on this will be greatly appreciated.
Hey, I don’t pack while surfing!
Leaving a possibly stolen gun lying right there on the beach where any innocent child could find it and possibly use it to steal drugs? Shame on you!
But what about those pesky sharks! 😂
But Charlie, you don’t surf.
In other pop culture news, this guys got a legit Mr. T ting going…
what kinda narcotics? so they couldnt find any drugs? is he smiling because he flushed the drugs
No he’s smiling because he know he’ll be out in a few hours.
I don’t believe this for one minute, there are laws prohibiting felons from possessing guns!! I hope the police posted a Firearms free sign on his lawn, that will prevent him from ever having a gun on the property again…
