Now the question is will the DA prosecute them? For example, the DA/Sheriff know who broke into & robbed Murphy’s Market in Trinidad on May 24, 2018. No case has been filed by DA even though they know where the suspects are. Sheriff won’t even tell Murphy’s bigwigs who want to press charges. They only said one suspect is a young Yurok man. The other is a woman he runs with at times. She actually came into the store right after & tried to get a clerk she considers “cool” to give her cash for one of the stolen cigarette cartons. Very brazen & unafraid of prosecution.

Then it hit me. Supervisor Sundberg, influencer in chief of HCSO, is also Yurok. The clever young woman may have figured that doing crime with Yurok men might be her leverage to never pay consequences? If they indict her, she’ll squeal on her cohorts. So brazen is she that she walked right in the store the next day trying to get drug cash for stolen cigs. Some would call that stupid. But some would call it the emboldened result of being clever.

Ryan Sundberg is no longer a Supervisor. Steve Madrone won that seat in the last election.

We have one more Supe’s meeting w/Sundberg this Tuesday -the last meeting of the year. It is usually the worst of the year due to many people are gone for the holidays. December 23, 1913 ushered in the un-Federal no-Reserve debt notes made out of thin air.

The link shows a photo of a person in a ski mask on Dec 15, 2018 yet the arrest is for a robbery on Saturday November 4, 2017. Why not book them for both robberies?

We need more armed citizens CCW. Didnt these criminals get the memo? You will be dealt appropriate punishment on the spot. Maybe more CCW would lead to more armed criminals. ?

Wow, those people were staying at the house across the street from mine.

at least I won’t have to deal with them for a while.

I think there might be some dogs in their house, somebody might want to check on those, they aren’t very friendly.

Maybe since you know the location, you should report this to animal control.

W.B. Moran. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat offender. New employment options in Humboldt. Career Criminal. The thievery is out of control in our town. Wish we could corral these offenders and keep them out of our communities. Bring back hard labor. I’m sick of this crap!
