I was just thinking that Arcata hasn’t had a stabbing in a couple of weeks, so they were over due. Was that not on their New Years resolution list?
New Years Resolutions
1. Stab that guy I don’t like
2. Spend more time indoors
its stabby season all year in arcata
How can he be charged with no weapon/evidence?
There is a victim ie witness.
[edit] Learn to research something yourself instead of asking a [edit] inflammatory question!!!! Hints: victim statement.,..witness(s) statement, victims blood all over the suspect, prior reports of bad blood between these two….
“prior reports of bad blood between these two”
Bad blood… that the kind on the outside instead of the inside?
An arrest can be made on suspicion of a crime. Charges can be made within 24 hours.
Stabbing in the morning, stabbing in the evening and one just about supper time. Damn not agian.
“When you live in Humboldt, you can have stabbings anytime!”
I like that song.
Can you play a guitar Willie?
The lesson anti-Second Amendment folks will learn (the hard way) is inanimate objects don’t possess a “heart of darkness” but people do. You can start with firearms and ultimately outlaw anything that could potentially harm another human being, but then you’ll get to rocks.
yes but they will never require the same checks and balances for knifes as for firearms, as according to a report i saw over 70 percent of females in america are on some form of mental health drug.
Please provide a link to support that statement.
Stop it Antichrist, if people could kill 80 people with a knife in under a minute we’d be doing something about that your right
Don’t forget fertilizer, Tim McVeigh killed 163 in less than a second. Then there’ s the Bath school bombing in 1927 that killed 44 in less than a second and was the deadliest school massacre in U.S. history; that was a petrol bomb. Kind of makes your exaggerated claim of 80 in a minute seem tame in comparison. What stops a lunitic’s killing spree? I submit it’s a good person without that “heart of darkness” neutralizing the situation. In the end, it’s not an inanimate object that’s the problem, it’s what resides in peoples hearts.
Chuck Norris can…
80 people with a knife in under one minute.
the number of people saved by the use of fire arms every year is astronomical (much bigger than those who are killed by a firearm) and its kinda hard to put a definite number on because well of course you can add up everybody in the room but how do you know what room he is going to walk into next?
I’m sure you’d be surprised to learn that far more people are killed with knives each year than with assault weapons.

The CDC says about 16 % of females in America use some sort of mental health drug. That’s a vastly different number: https://consumer.healthday.com/mental-health-information-25/antidepressants-news-723/u-s-antidepressant-use-jumps-65-percent-in-15-years-725586.html
Well the British have had an “anti knife” movement for over a decade, including some wanting to ban knives over a certain length and register knives. So far it has not lead to either a shortage of knives or of stabbings.
Stabbyville living up to it’s name
Valley West sounds like it’s getting pretty bad, I came up there a few months ago to shop in Harbor Freight tools and first couldn’t get through the door because a pack of homeless were congregated there. I always spent big when I went there, supporting Arcata’s excessive tax. I don’t plan to ever go back there.
Valley west could consider getting a security guard, or maybe Arcata could be given extra money to hire an extra officer (as a type of homeless ranger), just for that area; and open up a parking lot for the transients which includes an officer or security guard just for that, maybe ask for Betty C.’s advice.
valley west does have a security guard. he only messes with the kids on skateboards though. he walks from dollar tree to harbor freight
probably stabbath?
Maybe I’ll start a cover band and call it BLACK STABBATH? 👈🏼🎸🎧🎤🎼
“Finished with my woman, cuz she couldn’t help me with my mind. People think I’m insane 🤪, because I am stabbing all the time.” 🔪
I LOVE IT!
Death and destruction….
And dont forget the chaos!!
Stabcata strikes again! Leftists Utopia where they call you a racist, are intolerant of tolerance, run wild with mob rule, and stab you cause you don’t agree. But victims can’t defend themselves.
I think you got it backwards bro. From your writing it appears that you are the intolerant one. If they find that the perp is actually a member of a right wing hate group I’ve no doubt that then you will try and come up with a reason to justify his actions. There’s good and bad on the Left, and good and bad on the right, but when it comes to spreading hate extremists like you take the cake. Time for you to look in your own heart and weigh the truth. If you can.
Researcher’s reply resonates with me, its truth cutting to the heart of Rule of Law’s comments. He sees everything through a lens of hate for “the Left”. Apt motto for extremists such as he: “Your hate becomes you.”
Counter haters at work. Why do some people continue to think that if you only a out hate a hater there will be less hate around?
I found a trimmigrant gushing blood off Covelo road on Saturday… looked like he got pushed out of a car… Any more info on that incident?
This Saturday? If so, please email me at [email protected]
From Covelo. Looking into it right now.
valley west started out as a trailer park and hasn’t changed. its more of a Glendale extension than Arcata.
