Good for the business owner for taking action. He couldn’t have done better. Some petty theives are one man walking crime waves.
Tommy Frost, just another in a long line of criminals attracted to Southern Humboldt. Heroin/meth Central. Drug dealers paradise. Homeless magnet. I think the criminals and homeless outnumber the decent folks at this point. It’s insanely sad…
If you actually participated in this community, you wouldn’t be stepping on your tongue.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Your wrong. I participate, we are becoming outnumbered by homeless, drug addicts, thieves and all around general POSs that will take advantage of you in a heartbeat. Isn’t democrat run California great! Tax the working class more while giving immunity to criminals.
I don’t know if you can pin it on a political party, but I agree with the rest. I do think the liberals are too nice about the homeless/drug addict prob, but on most other issues progressive agenda is smarter and more … well, progressive. Move forward or die, but do it right. These pieces of shit should sit in prison for a long time. We are turning into third world.
I don’t believe the bad outweighs the decent folks in this community. Sorry, y’all think so.
You need to get out more often. There is nothing going on here that is unique to So Hum. You guys sound really depressed. But I guess if I were a Trumpkin in a state where he lost by 4 million votes I’d be depressed.
Not particularly unique to California, but certainly unique across the country. You should get out more. I spend half of my time in a state where I leave my car and apartment unlocked every single day. Never have seen a needle on the street and haven’t heard of a burglary in the last 6 months. It’s a red state, though.
Ahhhh I believe trump won, and will win again if the impeachment fails. Only brainwashed lazy people believe socialism works.
I work hard everyday 💪 and disagree cheese.
Well, Venezuela has a nice program eh….
Venezuela is really a dictatorship posing as socialism and is parrot food your taught to regurgitate. Many of the Nordic countries are Socialist and rate as some of the happiest and healthiest in the world.
That is always where a socialist government ends up. Socialism- the way it is currently defined as either private or pubic ownership of means of production to benefit the public- always ends up as a dictatorship. The only way socialism survives it’s adherence to indivdual bad judgement is when there is still a strong election base who will periodically vote them out of power AND THEY GO. Sooner or later anything consistently socialist will have either a strong leader or agenda ridden group, frustrated with being pulled back, who by hook or crook will NOT go. And most socialists and those they reward are fine with them not going when asked to leave. If the public fails just once to push them out, democracy is rendered powerless.
🕯🌳The always the culprit. Why do you take a simple article about an idoit druggie and trun it into your own personal political debate?👁⚖🇺🇸
You guys don’t even know what socialism is. Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance, Public Health and the CDC are all “socialist” programs.
Well, when it benefits the public good, it’s called Socialism. When it benefits Corporations, it’s called a subsidy.
exactly right. Any government program that benefits the middle class or poor is an “entitlement” or “socialist” but recurrent and continuous tax breaks for the 1% are justice, freedom and the American way. Who will pay for the additional trillion dollar deficit to pay for Republican tax breaks for the uber-wealthy? People who get a W-2 with the money already withheld, that’s who.
I’m afraid it’s you who have missed the important difference between socialist benefit and a contributory benefit. Although Social Security and Medicare have socialist elements, being weighted to pay more to lower wage individuals, it at least required contributions for decades before getting a return. But of course, once people, who are pretty clueless about how social security worked, started getting paid, some noticed that they did not get as much as some others. That they paid in less and still got proportionally more back did not impress them. Nope. It was “my friend Joe gets more than I do even though we worked the same job.” Or “you expect me to live on that!” Those who always feel abused complained. The program became a whipping boy for liberals for not doing enough and for conservatives for not being truly self supporting.
Then along came Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid, which are wholly socialist programs requiring no contributions at all. And the leap from one to the other was so clouded in peoples minds that even those who receive benefits confuse which they get. Again all they know is they want more and think others who are better off should pay for it, although they’re a little fuzzy on exactly who that should be.
No, you’re wrong. “Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance” were not socialist programs although the liberals pushed as them far as they could in that direction. And of course, it was never ever far enough.
Seriously, you have become numb to it.
five years hard labor
More likely 5, if even that many slaps on the wrist & released to do it all over again!!!! :-C
Never trust a short hair.
😂
flat tops never got along with ponytails.
That’s why you wear both canyon oak!
Mullet wearer. GC, Best. Comment. Ever.
A stolen Uhaul truck and a stolen knife , he was probably about to try to rip someone off it’s a good thing he was stopped just in time . Now he lives his life by the soap 🧼 on a rope without his dope he’ll just have to find some way to cope and in the police report that’s what they wrote at least it wasn’t 187 murder she wrote .
The woman, Pullen, was charged with the drug crimes but Frost wasn’t charged with any drug crimes. If he’s driving her around, he’s part of the drug conveyance (added convenience for their customers). Unless the paraphernalia was for single use, it makes no sense.
I thought it was Sean Penn
Or one of the Bridges brothers!
Did this occur on Nov. 12 or Dec 12?
December… November is a mistake.
I requested clarification and didn’t hear back.
You have two more Nov to change – one at the very beginning of the article and one about midway. 😉
(I just checked LoCO’s Booked section to find him taken in a few days ago for sure.)
Without tossing politics into this brain salad, I will declare that the percentage of good folk vs. fucking dirtbag folk in So.Hum. is about even. and plummeting rapidly. Sad, really, it is such a beautifully cool place. Grow more weed, it can only get better…
Is that Sean Penn?
Ooh, another cop lover. How I hate those guys.
Actually just another boy masquerading as a man. Like the fuckin plague. No offense.
