The road signs on Bell Springs road look like sieves there are so many bullet holes in them. Someone probably missed the sign.

It sort of feels like we are in the last days of the Roman Empire. No one is accountable for their crimes anymore.

Could also be a suicide or accident. Sheriff said they have not determined if it is a homicide so I am guessing one of those.

Or it could be a homicide intended to look like a suicide, which is why they investigate instead of guess.

Well nobody is ever responsible because everybody is a victim. Please be more compassionate and understanding so you can become enlightened to this new age of letting everybody do what their spirit calls upon them to do and you can send blessings upon their learning process ( while they steal and kill and rape and plunder). Be more positive!!

Yes but “Shooting in SouthEastern Humboldt County Fatal” does sounds more like they determined something conclusively. Decisively, even.

“Fatal Shooting in SouthEastern Humboldt”, leads to more of a question, or questions.

Can’t have that.

RIP

I am so devastated to hear of this. An old friend and neighbor on a ranch all his life that was pioneered by his family from the days 100 years ago. Back when the land was respected and cared for. I left the area 8 years ago because of all the changes that made it hard to see the pristine hills being raped by greed. My heart cries for the family and friends of this wonderful man.

LOL the land being “respected” 100 years ago…Um do you not remember that timber and gold companies came into the area and destroyed all of the natural resources in the area. When did all the old growth redwood get cut?….1900-1920’s. I really don’t call that respecting the land.

If being able to sell your timber to prevent a ranch from being sold off for dope growing parcels that is respect.

This needs to be looked at as a homicide. He was my neighbor, and would never do something like this to himself.

Especially after sending the indigenous off to Round Valley so you could have the best of their land. Respect.
