Yesterday, about 11 a.m., a woman in Fairhaven on Samoa Peninsula reported to law enforcement that she and a five-year-old child had been sprayed with bear mace in an altercation with a neighbor. There was also a report of a firearm being brandished. One person was detained.

Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department told us this morning, “Deputies arrived on scene and located two adults and one child experiencing the residual effects of bear mace. Emergency medical services provided treatment to the involved parties on scene.”

She explained, “Upon further investigation, deputies learned that the two adults, a male and female, had been in some type of disagreement, during which, bear mace was deployed.” But, she said, “It is unclear at this point who actually deployed the mace.”

The person who had been detained was released yesterday. Karges explained, “Due to a lack of evidence and witnesses, no arrests were made on scene. However, the case is being forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review of potential future charges for involved parties.”

Debunk it then smart guy. Or is that it? Maybe you can post a link from Mother Jones or Media Fact Check Bias to convince yourself you’ve proven a point. You’ve said nothing.

Obama/Biden built the cages, deported more, incarcerated more. I’m no fan of either but Selective outrage is bias. No accountability assures repetition.

Trump sent a very strong and clear message about coming into this country legally. Some chose to ignore this message.

A little off topic. The reason the childern were seperated and seperated from Their “parents” is because many of those children are brought over for sex trafficking and thise are not really their parents. Yes there is a big business in selling off children for sex in this nation. There is no recored of the children being brought across the border illegally so people will kidnap kids in mexico and bring them over and sell them.

Please rethink your hatred of seperariin children from adults when taken in by border patrol bad situation but it needs to be done.

Now for the ones that are with their children the parents put the children in that situation why is the law enforcement to blame when the parents made the choice? Just give it some.logical thought imsted of the media emotional manipulation.

The reason those family separations happened was because children became a pass for adult illegal immigrant. Court cases ordered children released and that meant their parents were released too. You rage against Trump as if this free for all was not created by people opposing “caging children” in the first place. When the press and liberals acknowledge that this is why it happened, then maybe a reasonable immigration policy can be created and encoded. Where future illegal immigrant sees the US has an actual enforced policy and that slipping across the border no longer gets a better outcome than following the laws.

But that would mean no open borders, which despite the protests, is exactly what so many liberals want even if it means a free pass to all sorts of criminals and damage to the US community.

So to be clear it’s okay to hold children in detention centers if they cross alone. That’s totally cool, it’s just not cool to put them in the same spot if they are separated from their parents? Good to know it’s not a concentration camp anymore if they’re orphans, someone should let Geneva know. By the way the trial of Derek Chauvin, the killer of George Floyd, is coming up next month, so any liberals might want to prepare their justification of how riots are now good despite the last 2 months of panicked chest clutching hyperbole, if he is found anything other than guilty.

You don’t like it now? remember last time this up aka most of last year, you were appalled and shocked by how a fascist could do such a thing. Hell I had to look up the meaning of words you used to described trump when he did this almost identical thing. You know the presidential press secretary makes about 180,000 a year you should apply youre doing a better job than Jen paski. Got any defenses for defending genocides as “different cultural norms” or should we circle back to that later? And I say it’s virtually identical because trump and ice both claimed that the majority of migrant children “in cages” came across by themselves, there are no known parents to reunite them with, which is the only thing Biden’s pledged to do, which he hasn’t. So there is no difference both presidents are detaining “orphan”children. Liberals and the media just don’t give a shit now

” conditions that include no basics like soap and water.”

That is total bullshit. Yet here you are spewing it mindlessly like AOC did; a total fucking lie. And you NEVER “have time to look into it like you would like”. So why bother commenting if you are ignorant of the facts? Because that’s what libs do. Every opinion is based on feelings, not facts!

Mike hit the nail on the head. There IS NO DIFFERENCE. Only now liberals don’t give a shit! And the open border policies that you all espouse will ensure many more children will be sexually abused, used for entry into the US and ultimately “in cages” while you pretend to give a shit.

Seriously, that’s some serious info picking to fit your agenda. Many children who were by themselves were not the children of the ” parents” but were used by Coyotes or sold to people so they could appear as family. Go to the Border and look at the amenities provided. quite lovely.

2800 out of the 467,000 that were apprehended illegally entering our border. Let’s say an average of 3 people to a family, So about 1.7% of all illegal crossers are being separated from their children. That’s assuming these children had two parents with them. I wonder what the percentage of separation is for criminals violating other laws that are held in custody? I’m guessing 100% of criminals who violate laws in the United States that are held in custody are separated from their families? Many of these children who do not have other family members willing to take them are held in centers across the United States, many of them abused by their caretakers… Perhaps we should change these laws and start housing the children in the jails with the parents. Or should we just not arrest parents for any violation of the law because we don’t want to separate them from their children? Perhaps penalties for breaking laws should only apply to some laws?

I’ve said the hardest job for people that voted for Biden will be to justify his actions without blaming trump. How’s Biden handle the migrant crisis? By expanding a facility for children ages 14 to 17 with capacity for 700. It’s trumps fault, just ignore this new prison i built for kids, liberals literally “OK”

Whoopdy fucking doo! Obama was sued for inhumane conditions, Trump was sued for inhumane conditions, and Biden will be sued for inhumane conditions. That’s what lawyers do, they sue. Where are the results of the Trump lawsuit? Where is the proof that children were drinking water out of toilets? There is none. You’ve said nothing. I can post links too. It’s just easier for you because search results and the media are almost completely biased to the left. Anybody can make the claim that “it was worse under Trump”. And that’s what left wing hypocrites do, including so called journalists, devoid of any proof.

I am no Sherlock Holmes but I am pretty sure the mace was dispersed by the container it was in. Furthermore, I assertain the container belonged to one and only one of the disputed parties. I believe further investigation of the container will reveal the true culprit in this haeneous crime.

It is possible that the sprayees were sprayed by the sprayer because they got too close to the sprayer without masks on and either the sprayer did not want to catch COVID 19 and was standing their ground or they were wearing cute bear masks or the sprayer thought they were violent felons from Idaho.

That an article on a child being maced by adults in California became a ill informed and divisive pissing contest on Federal immigration policy should be a stark lesson on just how unconscious my neighbors and fellow citizens remain.
Kids being used for anything = bad.
Neighbors blaming each other over policy = bad.
Bickering about politics = bad.
I could keep going but you should all get back to your G.E.D. prep now, stupids.
