I wonder if he might be available to racing stripe my new car,maybe some flames also. Hard to find paint guys with this level of talent.
It’s the A team van lol
He is part of the lesser known b team
Looks like the H team…
yeah, heroin much Larry?
YES!!!
I pity the fool!!
I love it when a plan falls apart!
I Pity the fool
Didn’t know he was a member of the A-Team.
Typical of the Pot culture in Humboldt Co. nowadays!!!
Reefer Madness: is that you?
So a man drives while under the influence of some drug, carrying a sizable volume of pot in his vehicle, deliberately hits a woman and drives off but all you think is important is to defend pot? [edit]
Or bash it? Just sayin’. This goes both ways on this comment thread.
This was the Van up on the bank and in the ditch on Elk Ridge on Monday December 9th. Also the same guy who’s RV caught fire on Elk Ridge in September 2019. He was told to never be on Elk Ridge again…..hopefully he’s getting to notion he is not welcome.
The A teams van was a GMC not a dodge lol
(..just here for the van comments…)
Did he steal the pot too?
From the dump he’s always breaking in him and Forest
He should get 20 years for driving a Dodge.
What you like Ford, they drive like a tractor… Oh I know you like Chevy/GMC, they drive like a huge car with a truck bed… Drive a real truck, test drive a Dodge ÷/0.
Awwww, dems fightin words MBD!!
Dammit you’re right though, they do drive like tractors! 😂
I like Fords… but they drive like bricks for sure!!
My 7.3 power stroke will tow your low powered dodge to shelter cove and back bud
well it does in a way the 7.3 is a international engine and cummins is owned by ford … makes you wonder.
My 85 Ford/ international 6.9 IDI is a charmer, and yeah, built to rumble along like a domestic tank..
It gets better mileage than most modern diesels amazingly.
A Neanderthal moving firewood.
I love it
But come on people…marijuana does not increase crime, so say the So. Humboldt folks. Of course these are the same folks that showed up in mass to shoot down the Terra Gen project because it will harm the view shed or aesthetics of the hills around Petrolia, Scotia, and Rio Dell.
But none of them has shown up yet to protest the huge impact to the view shed and the aesthetics that the white greenhouses are having dotted all over the hills, ridges, and valleys of our great County!!
Pathetic hypocrites!!
Bill – 👍👍👍👍
Omg really? I don’t even understand the issue with the white greenhouses? Want to live somewhere where there are no people and no mountains to see what everyone else is doing, move to the high plains of the dakotas or wyoming. Just sayin.
I am pretty sure those are not the same groups of people. I, for one, think the greenhouses are as much a pox as the Terra Gen. A little harder to stop the greenhouses, though, and a little less permanent. But I agree with you… it is hypocritical if one feels as you said.
Do you drink wine? What about the fact that grape growers destroyed the Eel River? How about the almond growers in the central valley who poison groundwater and give their neighbors cancer through pesticide drift? And how about the fact that all of their employees are illegal immigrants?
I guess we should just abandon agriculture all together.
The shakemobile strikes again!
They better lock this guy up tight before he wins a Darwin award.
How is the woman he struck?
JMarie, thank you for caring about the woman who was intentionally struck with a van!! Most of these comments are folks (men?) trying to one up each other talking about trucks with nary a word about the victim. I know that’s sexist but it’s prob true.
I hope she’s recovered.
She’s okay! Thank you to The first person to take any concern in her well being in the comments! She’s got some bruises and a couple scratches. But mainly she’s praying that this psycho gets what he deserves; a humboldt county jail muffin and a big ol sip of powdered milk to wash it down 🙂
Bill your becoming like a broken record,same comment differant story!!!
Cmon 2020….Someone has got to say it, and since nobody else is that leaves me to bring up the obvious. Everybody wants to look the other way, but our problems are right in front of us.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Merry Christmas!
Bill, greenhouses can be taken down relatively quickly. Giant multi million dollar wind turbines….. somewhat more permanent. Not that I condone either….but the comparison is poorly thought out imho
Taken down and the plastic put where? That’s one of my worries… where does all the plastic go? Bulldozed into the ground? Burned? Or just left to shred in the wind and blow around the landscape, proud hillbilly style?
I pity the fool !
Lol
I just wanna to know what happened to the honey drew bridge chump I think that’s hi ac handle he hated the devil lettuce.
This guy doesn’t even look like Mr. T.
What a scam.
Real Mr. T, We Love You!! 💕
“…at approximately 6:50 am, …”
An argument for sleeping in right there.
Don’t forget “It’s legal”…
Cannabis is legal.
Just say no!
Why should we care about addict on addict violence?
Dope scuffle!
Drug addicts steal!
🕯🌳Because its Christmas. 🎅☃️🎅☃️
Merry Christmas willi
And I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids!
Why dodge it when you can ram it. Too soon?
I hope the woman is ok or at least can make a full recovery.
That’s your best comment yet Willie Well done
My main takeaway from this article was that a woman was intentionally hit by a van. Hence the assault with a deadly weapon charge. I just hope she will be okay.
All else is superfluous.
To all of you who think this is a joke, My Aunt was the one who was struck so can you all pray for her or shut up. Seeing this makes me sick to my stomach
To all commenting Innocent till proven guilty. There are 2 sides to every story, I am his sister I live I’m So Cal. I would love to know the truth. I was told there are cameras proving he didnt hit or hurt her I don’t know if this is true I was told the lady lied for whatever reason. If he did hit her I want to know if shes ok. Please comment if shes ok or if this is true or false. Signed a loving a concerned sister
Lmfao at all that was involved and all that made a coment on here. To much time on yo hands or something like that.
I wouldn’t say I have to much time on my hands, I would say on my lunch break at work. Hey looks like you commented also gotta lot time on your hands
The pedestrian “victim “ is lying. She has a personal connection with the accused and she is trying to use false allegations (& various other tactics) to harm Lassiter. I have seen her verbally attacking him in public and I have spoken to several people she paid to make false claims against this man. Lie much, Aunt Lisa?
