Dayum, WTF is up with all the Stabby People??? in “Narcata, lately??? Looks like about every othere wqeek or possibly less someone is stabbed in “Narcata”!!!
So was someone arrested? Or released with an order to appear?
Good question jack, 2 in the hospital, 1 gone. Was anybody arrested?
Sounds kinda weird.. this is humboldt though lol
It’s hard to read this shoddily written ‘report’. I’m wondering if the stabber had his knife taken in self defense and the original attacker is the dead guy.. ???
Anybody have any answers as to if the perp is the 3rd person or a mysterious 4th person??
The guy that is dead, was not the attacker.. He was with his girlfriend and friends. The attacker tried starting problems. I’m not going to give any further details though while it’s still under investigation.
Right, who stabbed who. Hope there’s more info. put out.
The three of them got attack by a bum outside of the ATL.
Wrong.
Yes. He was arrested. I’m devastated to say that the deceased one is my best friend’s brother. I’m still in shock about it. Such a good kid, so young. People now are just too comfortable with weapons. Mixing alcohol, drama and knifes/guns is NO GOOD. Such a tragedy. Please pray for the family.
Knives are much easier to obtain then guns. A stab wound is very serious. Hurts like the dickens.
thank you first responders and arcata police. I hope that you guys are okay… take a few days off work and cherish your loved ones.
Another mass stabbing. All I want is some common sense knife control. Make America safe.
Don’t forget screwdrivers. Nobody needs a 4 in 1 driver.
Snap-on sells a #2 phillips screwdriver that has an overall length of 16 3/4 inches. Who outside of a professional motorcycle racing team needs that kind of driving power?
You go to a screwdriver show and you can buy whatever you want with no background check.
Do you always have to go to this sad old joke every time there’s a stabbing? It’s soooo old.
I will admit, Arcata has a stabbing problem. Still, I was sleeping a few blocks away last night and I didn’t get woken up by gunshots, so that’s nice.
Sounds like you just want firearms to have suppressors so you can sleep better?
Um…someone unscrweing the shields on nuclear warheads? You have no idea what I can accompolish with a screwdriver.
I just hope there is a way to portray someone as racist and then try to leverage that to sow division more generally.
Don’t worry, Stars, I’m confidant they’re on the case. A lot of dedicated people stepping up to the plate, and they love their work. It’s a tough job sometimes, but somebody’s gotta do it.
Indeed. True “warriors” (of the social justice type). These are the same brave souls who use the cover of night to terrorize innocent citizens by vandalizing and attacking their homes. We should all take careful note of the behavior of these people and give them and the things they say/do exactly the amount of respect they deserve.
Way to sow division I Like Stars. Do “they” have you on the payroll yet.
We have common sense knife control. That doesn’t mean that some stabbings won’t occur. Once we have common sense firearms laws, some shooting will still occur as well, but fewer.
Knife control, definitely slow down a criminal. Good thing felons follow the laws otherwise gun laws would be dumb. People in prison are definitely worried about new gun laws, is there no such thing as common sense anymore? Make guns illegal for everyone to limit what criminals can get. Cocaine is illegal, that sure slowed its prevalence down in the criminal world.
So there would be less murders if we take away homicide laws in your opinion….
Anarchy = order?
Doubt it.
I remember when arcata was majestic.
Drake Goodale kept the peace.
Almost forgot Ranger Bob Murphy.
Gosh those were calm days.
We need to demand immediate action! Call your Congress creatures now and demand common sense background checks, mental health evaluations, 10 day waiting periods, databases, fees and blade length regulations, tax stamps and edge requirements, for all would be knife buyers and blade carriers!
Let us wave these bloody shirts and use these casualties to further our No Knife agenda!
False Equivalency
Knife is a silent killer, don’t underestimate it.
Please grow up. A person is dead.
It’s trying REAL hard to make knives as much as a threat as a gun. If one of those dudes had a gun the damage could have been wayyy worse and with much less effort. It takes balls to stab somebody, not so much with a gun. Guns are easy.
And you are an authority on this how?
Uh, research the homicide rate in London and the weapon of choice in almost every case.
How uncritical and irrational does one need to be to realise gun control does not prevent death, it just prevents MORE death.
Between 10:05 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. PDT, [Paddock] fired more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his 32nd floor suites in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, which killed 60 people[a] and wounded 411, with the ensuing panic bringing the injury total to 867.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting
Please cite the last knifing that killed 60 and wounded 850 in 15 minutes….
I’ll wait patiently.
Dr. Linkletter, TLDR needs his own scintillating headlines blog full of links he doesn’t himself read, nor think about.
It hasn’t consciously occurred to him, but he hopes no one asks for worldwide gun vs. other causes homicide totals.
He hopes no one asks why he doesn’t frothily support anti-everything laws—since everything kills more than if we only stay home and parasitize local blogs with cherry-picked abstract data, like good DNC chatbots who only need click their heels thrice for the Secret Service Angel Patrol when nutters with knives come running.
It’s very difficult to own a gun in China. The mass destruction weapons of choice there are;
1. knives and swords
2. explosives
3. running people over with vehicles
4. poison
#2 seems to happen more frequently there than here.
China’s mass murders don’t hit the papers as often, but here’s one;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shijiazhuang_bombings
That’s like blaming your pencil for failing your test
Automobile will smoke those numbers, besides the fact that whatever gun laws are passed criminals will still get guns. They are not looking to follow your laws. That’s pretty apparent I would think , since they kill humans ,and that is AGAINST THE LAW. Ridiculousness, cracks me up.
Y’all got ZERO so far..
FYI.
And the killings proceed with knives in Arcata, your point TBR? It’s ok to kill with a knife but not a gun. One track mind.
Assuming that is my point is another mistake you have made, I suppose.
Oh, you have no point, just conspiracy theories on people using more than one name. Please ban guns and multiple user names for TBr
All of them got a lot- Timothy McVeigh killed 160 plus people with fertiliser. The real issue is that there are always people who are lawless- think of themselves as above the law. For example Mexico doesn’t allow citizens to own gun yet has the highest per capita murder rate. There are countries with relatively high ownership of guns (few are as high as the US though) such as Iceland and Canada that have low murder rates.
One thing that makes a place have few murders is the safety its citizens feel. Their trust in their neighbors, police and government to keep them safe so they do not feel the need to act for themselves. On the opposite side is that uncontrolled crime creates insecurity and people get used to settling their own disputes by violence.
I’m not really disagreeing with your point.
But my point is that comparing knives to guns is ridiculous.
Kind of like comparing guns to bombs, which also happen to be illegal, unlike knives.
McVeigh had to buy off the radar ingredients for his device, because he knew that too much of certain materials would be a ‘red flag’.
Common sense laws that prevent easy access to highly deadly materials are good.
If there are either law abiding, self controlled,respectful citizens, then guns are going to be seldom used. Or guns can be removed from the citizens but to remove dangerous gun from the country or make them unmodifiable into dangerous ones, it needs a Constitutional Amendment and a cooperative populace. And who is going to cooperate with groups both right and left constantly using hateful, denigrating speech towards their fellow citizens for everyone to hear?
With criminal gun violence so uncontrolled where even killing children is no longer shocking, where a accusation of racism gets a hundred times the press space than a random killing of the most innocent bystander, knowing the government can not offer even an illusion of safety nor even muster much outrage with convicted felons found with guns or effectively keep them out of the hands of the mentally unbalanced when they already have laws covering that, who is going to allow such as you to change the Constitution ? You have already expressed utter contempt for those who disagree with you. Why should they trust to your benevolence in making laws controlling what they see as the only thing standing between them and a government you would have act on your contempt? I don’t and I hate even being in the presence of guns. Your willingness to insult or to try to censor people with differing opinions is a huge warning that trusting the law to those like you is more dangerous than any gun. Because when you say such hateful things regarding even the most ordinary people, why should anyone not question your intent?
Nah.
I have contempt for misinformation.
It is not a ‘debate’ that the election was stolen; it was not.
There is no room for disagreement, therefore, to promote that the election was stolen is a lie, or worse.
To say vaccines cause more death and diseases than the diseases themselves is a lie, not a disagreement.
Your comment is filled with innacurate blame.
So, I respectfully disagree.
You ignored the hate speech rhetoric that Trump espoused and enflamed the worst of America with, making it popular and acceptable, all the while blaming liberals for their hate of said speeches.
You complain of insults by people, yet you haven’t said the word ‘Democrat’ in ages.
It’s always “liberals” and similarly you have made your feelings for “liberals” completely clear.
Myself, I separated Republicans from Trump and maintained that good Republicans would never support Trump.
Breaking news TRB…
Vaccines are possibly being linked to Herpes Zoster as a nasty side effect.
(Shingles), is a very painful, potentially lingering, viral
condition.
The long term risks, impossible to guage in the near term, are beginning to rear their ugly heads.
Unknown yesterday, headlines today.
What a difference a day makes…
The risk seems to be associated with multi dose vaccines, as the occurances were differentiated between a first and second dose.
Yes, the incidence is again, very uncommon, but when it comes to vaccines, nobody likes surprises.
Put links in when making allegations. According to this it might be a driver for a very small number of people already suffering from autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). Maybe. It was such a small sample they couldn’t tell.
https://www.rt.com/news/521622-covid19-vaccine-herpes-shingles/
Of the 491 in the study, 6
presented with Herpes Zoster (shingles)
after vaccination.
5 after one dose, one after the second dose.
1.2%
Unknown whether the vaccine caused the shingles or triggered it.
It seems likely that lots of people have had chicken pox.
Trump was histrionic and inarticulate in his speech but liberals in general, at least as respresented on this site, as guided by the TDS in the press, attached inappropriate interpretations to them to make them confirm their worse fears. Then accuse anyone who even faintly believed he had a point (or specifically in your case just disagreed with you) of being misinformed (ie too dumb to know better.)
I’m sorry Kym chastised you and you decided to resolve the conflict with adding the word “respectfully” while still keeping on pigeonholeing people by their name rather than actually reading what they say. I know it short circuits hard work by just insulting the person according to the name you identify but there are compensations if you do. You would save time by others not trying to correct your misinterpretations of what they said or not having to try to drag Kym in her role of moderator into your arguments. I know you feel unjustly targeted but that is true for most people and no excuse for offense.
I can buy tannerite from Ace Hardware.
Sure, but if you wanted a pallet worth, you would likely be due for inspection, unless you’re a special effects guy or something.
We encourage all persons involved with binary explosives to report any suspicious behavior or unusual activity surrounding these materials to ATF and to local law enforcement authorities. (Suspicious behavior may include a customer attempting to purchase large quantities of binary explosive materials while knowing little about the product, or a customer who acts nervously or behaves in an unusual manner.)
https://www.atf.gov/explosives/binary-explosives
Not all bombs are illegal and tannerite-like binary bombs are pretty easy to manufacture.
And comparing knives to guns is not ridiculous when knife wielders kill more people than the people who use certain rifles and our benevolent overlords are attempting to criminalize possession of those rifles under the false pretense of “saftey”.
Guns are an industry and lobby that produce talking points, rhetoric and propaganda.
Knives are an accessory.
Is ‘benevolent overlords’ mean ‘elected officials’?
0121 hours, most likely drug deal gone bad, real bad.
Or 4 drunk friends, then the one guy found his friend banged his girlfriend pulled out a knife and the rest is history.
Most likely 3 “home free” Arcatans that we’re all imbibing together and all of a sudden something went sideways…or something completely different and nefarious.
it was outside the Arcata Theater Lounge, where a show was happening
Take away guns, people use knives. Take away knives, people use clubs, take away clubs, people use rocks. If someone wants to hurt others, unfortunately they can.
there are recipes for things online I wont mention. you need to deal with the human heart, not the availability of tools. there was a time that nearly everyone believed his neighbor was also an image bearer of God, because that was the culture we grew up in. Now, with the death of God in the human heart, nothing stops the feral minded from becoming Ah Pook, the Destroyer.
This is why the US Armed Forces just announced that they will be issuing rocks instead of rifles from now on. The reasoning is that rocks are far cheaper, more dependable in adverse environments, and have the same potential for killing as a rifle.
Don’t be silly. Stabbing is quietist. A gun is noisy. There are plenty of guns. Even if you provided a gun lending library on the plaza, they probably would have still been stabbish
With friends like these , who needs enemies?
Thats the trouble , regardless of how we want to view each other humans are not very kind it isnt who we are .
‘ no threat to the public at this time’ come on, all these drunk, n fucked up on drugs idiots walking around arcata are always a threat to the public!!
Thanks j. Nothing to see here.
Good job resisting all the troll bate folks.
Don’t feed the gerbils
And yet…
Mmm…
Troll bait.
🥲
With all the stabbings, it’s seems like it’s time for responsible knife control legislation…Can’t we all just get along?
Well folks , here is another Rant for you guys …. Always hiding behind your phones , moms basement…. I have seen a number of times people say , guns are bad , they Kill , well duh 🙄 … Not the fact they can get them off the streets. And in today’s society that’s what everyone wants , a gun !!! Can you imagine if it was a concealed carry? Man I can play that out in my mind right now !!! And then we go to having knives, and here you go , a person is now deceased, someone’s son , nephew, cousin, friend … And this is what you cowards want to do is talk bullshit ? Come the F on !!!! Don’t be part of the problem here okay …. I wish people would conceal carry more !!!! I carry mine every day, everywhere just don’t play stupid games and no stupid prizes will be given out !!!
“And in today’s society that’s what everyone wants , a gun !!!”
Please turn off fox for a while. Please?
Heard some crazy person yelling a few block from there around 9p. What is going on, that is like 3 blocks from the apd, not too far from where the bussiness owner was stabbed about a month ago. Who are/were they? Three total?
Good question guess. 3 were found, injured or gone, but that alone doesn’t mean there wasn’t another. I mean what makes them think there’s nobody else involved?
If we get rid of guns and knives criminals will not be able to get them After all look how well making meth, herion, pot etc illegal worked. Humboldt has zero drug problems due to making street drugs illegal. It worked so well in stopping meth lets do it with guns.
Good point meee.
Yeah, we should get rid of all these pesky traffic laws. That’s how we can get a handle on all these speeders and reckless drivers. No sense in denying us law abiding drivers from having the freedom to drive our massive vehicles any way we see fit
thank you first responders and arcata police. I hope that you guys are okay. take a some time off work to heal from this and hold your loved ones close. life is precious.
ear to ear. dang. that is murder. well, that’s how you get it done. I have no idea about any details. but dang! sounds premeditated
Is it true the Arcata city council recently cut APD’s budget by $800,000 a year? That might have something to do with this stabbing and the one a few months ago, this is getting out of hand. If so maybe they should reconsider the cut.
“Arcata police are investigating a fatal stabbing that occurred at about 1:20 this morning.
Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn said the incident began outside the Arcata Theater Lounge on G Street when a man confronted another man he’d had a “beef” with and stabbed him. The fight moved into the 600 block of 10th Street and, at some point, a third man became involved.
The fight ended with the man who appeared to have instigated it dropping a knife and collapsing on G Street, Ahearn said, adding the man later died of his wounds.
The two other men were transported to local hospitals with stab or cutting wounds, Ahearn said, adding that two knives were recovered from the crime scene, which spanned multiple blocks. “
