Let’s see, I will drop my stolen gun out the window, the cops will never know. I’ve been convicted of felonies, but I didn’t know I couldn’t commit them again, no one told me. Why are they bothering me about a firearm, they don’t get people high, geez. I know I’m not very smart, none of us druggies are, we are picked on because people know we are stupid, and we do things that will get us caught. Like selling drugs at all hours of the day and night. Oh well, thanks to idiot judges, DA’s, and the governor, I will be out in a few hours, and set up shop again, no big deal. And thank you covid.
A big thank you to the Eureka Police Department’s Problem Oriented Policing Team (POP). Keep up the great work.
Xanax saved my life a one point. It’s definitely not for fun or partying on but under a doctors supervision it can be a miracle drug. It all depends where you are in life.
Yeah, cocaine did that for me.
Omg same thought here..
LSD for me. This whole thing smacks of systemic bio- pharmacologic elitism. This gentleman, and those like him toiling accross the nation, might be America’s greatest heros. The are like first responders for people suffering from the grinding daily vacuous banality of ordinary consciousness. Thank you for your service!
Another repeat felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition which he was arrested for originally, jeez, I have heard this story before. Like over and over and over again!
I don’t see the 57 cents I gave him.
