Skateboarder Stabbed in the Arcata Area Last Night
Last night a man was stabbed in the Arcata area.
Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department, confirmed that a stabbing had occurred and told us,
On Oct. 28, 2020 at about 11:50 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a local hospital for the report of a stabbing victim.
Deputies made contact with a 28-year-old male victim, who told deputies that he was stabbed by two unknown subjects while riding his skateboard on Upper Bay Road in Arcata. The victim was then reportedly transported to a local hospital by a friend. The victim is expected to survive his injuries.
This case is still under investigation and we have no further details to release at this time.

Hmmm… he was riding a skateboard at midnight ? Lots of bum camps out there ?
Big bum/drug camp just south of Manila… right next to the bay.
Sheriffs should clean it out.
South of Manila seems a bit out of the way for a stabbing on Upper Bay Road in Arcata.
Most of you don’t get it.
Bum Camps = Garbage = Fires = Filth = Drugs = Burned out Bodies = Stabbings
Guy was out in the hinterlands at midnight on a skateboard… dunno why,
might be interesting to find out. Reckon he had an interaction (of some sort) with bums/druggies.
Got stabbed.
Either that or maybe 2 guys were out driving at night looking to stab somebody on a skateboard.
Yeah, true enough Manila ain’t close to upper bay road.
Just pointed it out so maybe the Sheriffs will take ’em out. (Temporarily).

Oh boy. I haven’t heard gobbdley-gook like that since the Symbionese Liberation Army was around.
Might read up on em if you haven’t.

Ahhhhnother masturcongratulatory narcissist chile of “The Greatest Generation”. Too cowed by your parents to suggest that there may be another way. Too weirded out by the hippies to ask a question, and too solitary a perspective to feel relevant to anything right now other than a tall can and a right hand. Your world is an awesome place where all one has to do to figure out what’s good or bad, lie or true, red or green, over or through… All we ever had to do is ask you. I never thought that your description of the events, what happened in the proximity of BUMCAMP was a clever ruse, to set the law upon them, thus ridding us of their objectionable presence. You scalawag! In future times I will be totally onboard with framing a homeless person with GBI/attempted murder.
Y’know, just for kicks.
[edit]
mainly just meth = stabbings. occasionally a crossbow.
Where the victim was, and your den of iniquity/big bum/drug camp are nowhere near each other.
How about we just lay the blame on 5 black youths from New York?
The Trumpettin Pumpinkin will surely back that one (just a feeling I have).
All humor aside, you are part of the problem.
[edit] This world doesn’t need more paranoia birthed classism.

What exactly is the problem? Who exactly are you to arbitrarily judge people as being “part of” it?
Better yet, does behaving as a keyboard warrior on this website solve this “problem”? Could it be possible that you’re wrong, and that the very act of making damning proclamations as to who is and is not “part of the problem” may pollute and undermine your “problem”-solving efforts? At what point do we draw the line? If the criteria for being “part of the problem” is to simply disagree with anyone for any reason, based upon their own arbitrary worldview, then are we not all “part of the problem”? And if that is the case then is there even any point in making the cliché assertion that anyone is “part of the problem”?
Just some food for thought.
True but they will just go some place else. My question is why is a 28 year old riding a skateboard espically at that time.
Why shouldn’t they be? 28 isn’t old. They probably are still using the skateboard from the time they were a kid. Remember, the first skateboard “stars” are in their 50s now. One of my grandkids uses her board all the time to get from one end of town to the other. She prefers it over a bicycle.
As for being out that late? Is there some law that people can’t go out at night that I am unaware of? After all, they are 28, not 12.
Is there a curfew for 28 year olds that I have not been informed about? Or is it the skateboard that concerns you? Skateboarding is not a crime.
Skateboarding is NOT a crime! Speaking of skateboarding… did they ever find Animal Chin?
LOLOL….I understood that reference.
Fucking Rad! I was hoping somebody would!
Have you seen him?
😁😁😁👍👍👍!
Maybe he doesn’t have a car. Maybe he was on his way home
Gang related or Biden/Clinton voter?
The victim may well have been a “Biden/Clinton” voter. 🙂
Do you imply you approve of crime against law abiding citizens, provided they are Democrats? Or do I misunderstand your happy face?
In the Arcata area it would be a safe bet all parties involved were Biden supporters. I think it’s official policy in Arcata to burn Trump supporters alive.
Give it a break[edit]!
Seconded.
This planet is getting safer all the time. Stabbing cases are spiking, everyone needs to wear steel mesh in public.
They need to make knives illegal
I guess that no one told the 2 unknown subjects that “skateboarding is not a crime”.
👻
💖😜💀
Commenters grab some compassion on your way off the keyboard! I’m sure you’re not, but in your attempts to be funny or politically astute, you all sound really hard hearted.
Agree. Reading the comments on local blogs makes this area sound like it’s exceeding its max capacity for a**holes. But my experience in person has always been the opposite.
Hope the victim is okay and heals quickly.
Not sure why people are questioning being out on a skateboard at night. It’s legal, it’s safe, and a great way to get around town.
Well not to bicker but apparently it wasn’t that safe….
I’ve said it again and again. Arcata is just stabby, it just is.
Fish On, Bill!!!
Yes I would call attention to that bum camp and all the sewage and garbage going into the bay near oyster farm. Oysters anyone ?
Skateboarding is a mode of transportation. I live in Arcata with my bedroom window right near the street and the boarders are active at all hours…coming home from work, or a friend’s house, whatever. The stabbing is the shocking part of this story, not the hour of the skateboarding.
