Three Dead; APD and DTF Investigating
With the permission of the Mad River Union, we’re reprinting Kevin Hoover’s reporting on two tragedies that occurred this week.
Two people were reported dead while another was reported overdosing, and later died, just after 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20. Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn said there was no sign of any crime or physical trauma, but that death investigations are being pursued both by APD and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Drug Task Force (DTF).Ahearn said police are concerned that all three deaths could have been caused by drug overdoses or fentanyl exposure. He urged those who are planning to take drugs to exercise caution.
The three deceased individuals are in the custody of the Coroner’s Office. Toxicology results aren’t expected for weeks. Meanwhile, police are already attempting to trace the source of any drugs the three might have taken, Ahearn said.
The first two victims – a man and a woman – were reported by someone who entered a tent in Carlson Park at 4:01 p.m. and found two possible bodies.
Eight minutes later, a 54-year-old man was reported overdosing outside the Soilscape Solutions building on Samoa Boulevard, being used for the City of Arcata and Arcata House Partnership’s new “Safe Parking” program. The area outside the front gate has become what the reporting party called a “staging area,” which is occupied by vehicles not admitted to the facility. CPR was apparently administered to the man, but he died at some point thereafter.
Identities are being withheld pending notification of relatives by the Coroner’s Office.

No sign of any crime?
Drug dealing is not a crime?
Biden’s Open Borders kills three more, this time in our local community. I saw some night vision video just the other day of a whole troop of illegals in camo with backpacks hoofing drugs in while Border Patrol’s time was consumed processing illegals that voluntarily present at the border. Is this the cartels’ strategy, diversion from drug pack in routes? 100 pounds of fentanyl, enough to kill 20 million Americans, confiscated by Alameda County Sherriffs yesterday.
Joe Biden did that!
Biden didn’t killed anybody. Fetanyl is coming from China in thousands to put small numbers. The country needs good detox programs to help the people with addiction. This country is suffering a fetanyl epidemic. Very sad.
Biden’s irresponsible border policy is letting Fentanyl pour in…
Got Proof??? or just your opinion???
I always go with the facts…If the number of people over dosing on fake fentanyl locally and across the nation hasn’t gotten your attention perhaps this will. These facts are very easy to find.

The fentanyl will make here no matter what…it’s just a sad fact….it doesn’t matter what laws are passed and or who is currently sHitting in the white house
News Flash: Mexico is now the dominant source of fentanyl.
Synthesized from Chinese precursors.
Fentanyl may come from China to Mexico but then it’s smuggled into the US through Biden’s intentionally porous border. Then it’s consumed by Americans and they die. Biden’s culpability for Americans killed with fentanyl is arguable but he’s certainly done next to nothing to keep fentanyl out of the US. Biden choosing to do nothing is a choice with fatal ramifications.
Biden’s inaction is criminal…
they killed themselves by doing the drugs
Uh people were coming over when Trump was president to. Oh and how’d his wall turn out..
With Fentanyl, Morphine, and generally all opioids, you simply stop breathing. Then you die.
Yes, IMO, people who take drugs should probably exercise caution…
Street drugs probably are not even Fentanyl, and there are totally synthetic substances being pushed that are so new that even the people who make them don’t know what they will do.
If you take street drugs, you are foolish. If you die, it’s your problem only.
Mexican and Chinese drug cooks do not give a fuck if you expire from taking their products.
It’s a slippery slope from the first beer or the first joint to dying in a crappy tent in the middle of nowhere.
Drugs are bad.
Here is an interesting article with lots of facts from cdc and DEA about fentanyl deaths in usa:
https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/fentanyl-what-is-it-and-where-does-it-come-from/article
Article said that may, 2020 to april, 2021 there were about 100,000 deaths in usa, about 64,000 due to synthetic opiods like fentanyl. Most of the fentanyl is made in China.
“DEA laboratory testing reveals that today, four out of 10 fentanyl-laced fake pills contain a potentially lethal dose (2 milligrams)”.
DEA website says:
“Illicit fentanyl, primarily manufactured in foreign clandestine labs and smuggled into the United States through Mexico, is being distributed across the country and sold on the illegal drug market.”
Illegal immigration was only a fraction of what it is now under Trump. Biden’s illegal immigrants will annually number more than the population greater Los Angeles – EACH YEAR
Unauthorized immigration declined steadily from 2008 through 2020 with much of the decline coming during the Obama years.
2021 saw a spike in border apprehensions of unauthorized migrants with 1.6 million apprehensions (25% of which were repeat customers).
The population of the greater Los Angeles area is around 19 million.
Everything can be described as a fraction of something else, it’s kind of how numbers work.
Remember when Obama’s administration changed the definition of “deported” to anyone who was caught at the border trying to enter illegally and sent back? Rather than just those processed having been found illegally in the US? Which meant that people “deported” while in the US actually sizable dropped while the stats showed they increased? And, since that administration also stopped “focussing” on illegal immigration, legitimized categories of illegal immigration and simply was barred from asking, any stats on illegal immigration are dubious at best.
But the stats on foreign born in the US have steadily increased since the 1970s and the illegal percentage of the being illegal, about 2/3, shows illegal immigration has increased under Biden. https://cis.org/Report/Estimating-Illegal-Immigrant-Population-Using-Current-Population-Survey
Of course the non government entity, the Center for Immigration Studies, that supplies such stats is also politically denounced by another non government political organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, who now rails against their stats.
It is likely that every private citizen in the US has a better idea of the numbers of illegal than any official or semi official stat keeper, who find what they want to find.
There are other reputable non-partisan think tanks that have a different view of the statistics:
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/
One reticence I have with the CIS numbers you provided — by their own admission they have a low-immigration/pro-immigrant philosophy and their research is geared towards supporting their point of view. I’m not disagreeing with the idea but it should make one cautious of their numbers.
I think most thinking folks struggle with the problem of immigration. It’s largely driven by economic forces and our own ancestors got here because of the same desires. But unchecked immigration has the potential to disrupt the economy to the point where everyone suffers to a degree.
But there are those fleeing brutal conditions elsewhere who see the US as a salvation. Where’s the compassion for those folks?
I honestly don’t have a solution but vilifying all immigrants isn’t productive and neither is the fear-mongering of mlr.
And how many of each kind are there? The ones fleeing brutality at home versus the ones seeking economic advantage? You know how you can tell that there’s a problem with assuming victimhood? Well, for one thing, illegal males- the usual perpetrators of brutality- out number illegal women- the usual victims of brutality- for those of prime working age. While those under 18 and over 55 are closely matched And by far at a lower percentage. For another, proportion of the illegal males in US prison for crimes of violence are far in excess of the percentage of the illegal population in general. And mostly were known to have an unfulfilled deportation order. Can’t screen out those who will never be scrutinized. As in California’s sanctuary status.
These are the CBP numbers of folks detained with felony convictions.
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics/criminal-noncitizen-statistics
Well said Tim.
If there are any studies that peg the number of immigrants seek asylum and jobs to rug smuggling, I’d like to see them. My understanding is that the vast majority is smuggled by ship or hidden in cars and trucks legally entering the US. Since the US needs a migrant work force at the same time that living conditions have become impossibly dangerous in Central America, the least we can do is get our facts strait.
You might want to look at the companies that hire these folks. No jobs, no immigration!
And currently with the high demand for workers, the motivation for immigrants is also high.
Lol, that’s hilarious coming from someone in a county that’s known for people not wanting to work more than part time or for less than $20 an hour. I’d hire an illegal immigrant over a Humboldtian ANY day of the week. Employers hire good workers and they’re not stupid enough to stop.
For the sake of argument, let’s say that you are correct, and that the illegal workers are way superior to our worst local workers, what do we do with those local workers who nobody wants to hire?
It seems like bringing in millions of illegal aliens is just enabling employers to exploit those illegal aliens, drive down the wages of low end American workers, and make our low end workers unemployable.
Obviously the main goal for Dems is to import people who will mostly vote Dem.
Not to mention illegal immigrants compete for the jobs held by Americans, suppressing the wage growth of Americans leaving them behind the rate of Bidenflation, losing income and savings faster than they can make wage gains. This will drive American families into poverty.
Yes because there are so many US citizens clamoring for jobs as farm workers, landscapers, construction laborers, motel maids, and more as minimum wage workers.
And as someone who complains vociferously about inflation, what part of rising wages contributing to rising prices do you have difficulty grasping? At least try to be consistent with your complaints.
Your cheap produce also costs schooling, medical care, welfare fraud, law enforcement, and all the other costs associated with illegal immigration. Nothing is free. Illegals are expensive.
So if I go into a sporting goods store and pocket some goods, is that “unauthorized” shopping?
Stop watching TV.
$100 bucks you addicted to Fox news
Your talking points are aligned with Fox news
And or OAN One America News!!! They are as bad or worse than ‘Faux Spews’!!!
You are making shit up again.
You’re very wrong
Democrats stopped the Wall when it was 90% completed.
Not exactly. 90% of what Trump was trying to build, maybe. However, 90% of the southern border? Not even close. And remember that the funding Trump used was diverted away from the DoD and Biden returned some $2.2billion to the DoD from the border wall funding which was illegally diverted in the first place (Congress authorizes spending and Trump subverted their authority with the diversion).
https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/along-us-borders/border-wall-system
Let’s focus on the current situation. Trump had the best border security record. Trump secured the border and his wall would have been extremely effective, if completed. Biden’s border policy is virtually non-existent. Border security is now a disaster with thousands of illegal aliens from around the world invading our southern border weekly. This is what you voted for and a reality you seem to accept.
Obama’s Custom and Border Patrol numbers were arguably better.
The wall built during the last administration has been fairly useless as it was repeatedly breached by common tools, often with hours after a section was completed.
There is a huge influx of migrants because many other parts of the world are in upheaval making the US seem like a refuge. If you were in their shoes you’d probably be trying to get in too. It’s a much more complex problem than you are stating.
You mean 90% USELESS???? There were already people going over the top & under it as well!!!!
It was working well at the choke points but wasn’t completed thanks to Biden’s dangerous and wide open border policy. Had the Wall been completed with immigration laws enforced illegal immigration via the southern border would have been reduced by 90%. Now we get what you voted for…
Good one.
Speaking of “Illegal Immigrants”, how’s tRump’s wife, Melanoma/Malaria???
I find it unbelievable that Mr. and Mrs. Trump reside rent free in your head.

Wow
Creepy Joe didn’t force people to take drugs.
When were you born yesterday.
Illegal drugs have come over the boarder for decades not months decades.
Stop blaming one person instead of yourself. What do you do locally to stop drug abuse?
The President is not a god. He is just another human. People love to place blame on anything besides themselves.
We are the problem. Society now let’s fix it together and stop blaming he or she.
Wake up already.
I am sure creepy Joe is also causing your gas to go up.
Demoralization campaign
I am curious, is that from memesformorons.com? Or the RNC?
I see the left resorts to demeaning the right as usual.
And falsely equating soldiers committing war crimes to economic migrants seeking work isn’t demeaning?
https://gab.com/QAnon211/posts/108188891533206769
Liberal Democracy is under attack.
Just imagine all this censorship turned around on your voice, I may not agree with your position, but I think we all need to step back and and reassess our goals.
It isn’t censorship to point out that the meme you posted has demonstrably false numbers and is a false equivalency to boot and hence, it’s irredeemably stupid.
Spot on. It’s an invasion.
Keystone would be delivering oil to American refineries driving gas prices down within months of now if Biden hadn’t made the mistake of stopping the project on his day one. Why? Americans are still burning the same amount of oil but paying much more. What was Biden’s mistake meant to accomplish? Reduce global oil burning?
Link us to the video. Otherwise I will assume it is just more RWNJ BS.
You’re racist. That’s lame. You should move to utah
Because there were no drugs in America before Biden.
Never so much fentanyl killing Americans before Biden
Right.
??No sign of any crime????
Then why is this article in the “CRIME”
section?
“Here’s your sign…”
(Isn’t that what was said about the Greenwood Heights murder?)
“Nothing to see here folks, move along”…
yikes. thats strong stuff. does the heart give out or stop breathing? what causes the death with fent?
Heart attack
uhh no. opioid OD does not cause heart attack. In layman terms it slows the bodies respatory and heart rate so you just shut down. That is a simplified version.
It killed my son. I know what it does.
Sorry. Wrong. It’s respiratory arrest
Oh momma I am so sorry for your loss. ? Really it is everyone’s loss. The commenters who say terrible things. HELLO. IT HURTS US ALL! Broken families. Lost generations. Parents, grandparents, great grandparents raising orphaned children. Social stigmas forcing a twisted agenda. Sorry, not sorry these pusher men gotta go down too. Longer stronger punishments for the dealers of death. First time popped 10 years with no parole options. Murder charges when linked to a death. Enough is enough.
Madazalam for the win
Its the democrats utopia
Really?
Don’t be such an ass. People died, this is not the place for your pathetic attempt at witicism.n
blind partisanship limits ones critical thinking ability. you just sound dumb because it’s way more complicated than “it’s the democrat’s fault”.
What was repeatedly said to no avail when Democrats blame Trump for everything.
Almost always respiratory arrest – they stop breathing. I had a friend OD once, blue in the lips, not breathing. His pulse was fine. The blood was pumping but no oxygen was getting into it. I administered a shot of narcan to him as well as mouth to mouth. He recovered.
Fentanyl is a very powerful synthetic opioid. Opioids slow down your breathing — too much and they cause you to stop breathing.
I believe the heart stops if it is from fentanyl because it is an opioid and opioids slow your heart rate.
Fentanyl and most other opioids actually have minimal direct effects on the heart. Fentanyl is used extensively in anesthesia for patients with heart problems because it is safer for the heart than other types of drugs. The problem with fentanyl is that it can slow or stop breathing, causing the body to run out of oxygen. This lack of oxygen is what damages organs and can eventually cause the heart to stop. If a person has their breathing artificially maintained by a ventilator, for example, they could be given fairly large doses of fentanyl quite safely.
Thank you for clarifying that fact about fentanyl.
Ignorance is killing a lot of people.
Yep. Hypoxia.
Fentanyl is not an anesthetic; it is an analgesic opioid agonist for pain reduction
By anesthesia, I meant the field of anesthesiology. Fentanyl is not used by itself for sedation or anesthesia, but many anesthesia regimens use heavy doses of fentanyl to reduce the required dose of more dangerous anesthetic drugs. Opioids are extremely safe when given under the care of a doctor who can support your breathing and place you on a ventilator.
Opioids absolutely do have both sedative and hypnotic effects at high doses, though, which is why people who overdose become unconscious. You can be unconscious from an opioid overdose and be breathing and oxygenating just fine, but there is a very fine line. Again, respiratory rate is always the problem in fentanyl overdose.
Its the brain steam that shuts down at the root.
I love the statement from the smart people. Take illegal drugs for recreation responsibly. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Sounds like there is a strong dose in town.
As unfortunate as death is, these people made their choice. Doing stupid stuff from drugs to reckless driving to any manner of bad choice can indeed cost lives. The more unfortunate thing is that the idiots in the legislature, crooked judges and attorneys and a totally irresponsible refusal by local PD and SO to patrol, arrest and prosecute, and some have even gone as far as to make these things totally acceptable. It’s time for change. If the Chiefs and Sheriffs would come back to reality and realize patrol and police presence would reduce crime and thus actually reduce their workload it would be helpful.
You think more patrol and police presence in the homeless camps and “safe parking” areas will fix this? Idk, I bet it was fentanyl. Maybe not, but that shit is so toxic and a bunch of dumbasses with cheap scales are mixing/cutting it into products. So easy to overdose.
Actually, yes I do. Not just homeless camps, but streets in neighborhoods. If police were patrolling, arresting drug dealers, and then the losers who put the site and release policy in effect would instead make drug dealing a serious crime instead of, for all practical purposes, giving them a high five and sending them back to their distributor for another load, things would be different. California is a failed State across the board when it comes to fighting crime. But it isn’t rocket science to realize street crimes are less likely to be committed while police are actively patrolling instead of sitting in the office waiting for a phone call reporting crimes that have already been committed.
The results of a dark and shitty future. Death by escapism.
Police can’t and will never stop users, they can only profit from cops and robbers game of asset forfeiture.
Don’t hate the player ?
We are in the end times thanks to the democrat fascists. No hope in getting rid of them either.
According to the book Dark Age America we are in the decline and fall years of our current civilization. Although the Democrats can only slow it down they do not actively push it forward as does the GOP.
I don’t think you know what the definition of fascism is. “end times”?! just go to church and pray, God will take care of it.
The demonrats have been taking corporate contributions since their beatdown from the Reagan era. They are now corporate fascists! Fascism is the merge of government and corporate power! Corporations are large businesses like disney, apple, facebook, microsoft, netflix and google! The corporations own the government! Same as china! None of these commenters here even know up from down.
Doesn’t seem like safe parking
Mountains of garbage and trashed cars…
yeah, but at least they’re not in the Community Center parking lot. that was horrible.
If someone leaves a loaded gun out available to a child and a death occurs, they are in trouble. If someone’s dog bites a person, they are held responsible. If a bar serves too much alcohol to a person, and the drunk driver kills someone, the bar is in trouble. If someone dies from illegal, potent drugs, it’s seen that it’s that person’s fault for doing the drugs. Or that’s the way it goes for users and addicts, it’s the cost for the risk taken. Finally some law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are going after the providers of these drugs that kill. Consequences of jail time and removal from society is needed.
And if you die from the covid vaccine… it’s the anti vaxxers fault
Your analogy makes no sense, in this scenario if you die from a vaccine, the vaccine seller aka big pharmaceutical would be responsible, not some uninvolved person who doesn’t believe in taking vaccines. Holding drug dealers responsible on all levels from street sales right on up to the top executives of pharma companies is needed to stop all the deaths from od
Funny how you think like a rational human being and believe that manufacturers should be responsible for their products.
There has been ZERO MONEY paid to vaccine injury victims.
Wrong story, stick with context. Find the correct article. Comprehension is a missed strength these days. Oh so you mean…the plague of context. CRIPE!
If a person dies of covid when vaccination would have decreased the odds of that by ten fold but they had been made afraid of vaccination by the totally incorrect misinformation relentlessly propounded by anti vaxxers, are the anti vaxxers at fault? The bad dog doesn’t know the difference between real problem and being a nuisance. Anti vaxxers do not.
Repeat as needed- “I don’t always have to make usless noise. I have the ability to think and…”
100%. Honestly just because someone thinks it’s awesome to be an addict do they need to share it with others? It’s a culpable responsibility. What venture to say that any person that’s an addict gleaned their issues from others. Whether it’s a lack of proper prescription monitoring oh, people selling their prescriptions meds for cash. The tweaker down the street that has a stash and gets the kids going. Very rarely does an addict become an addict without a “friend “. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I get high with a little help from my “friends”. With” friends” like that who needs enemies.
Children are assumed not to have the understanding of the consequences that adults are assumed to have. The biting dog does not have to have his teeth physically clamped on by the victim to do harm but the drug is self administered by the abuser. The licensed bar may be held liable for serving but good luck with getting compensation from a store selling liquor.
So far convictions have hinged on the seller having sold the illegal drug knowing it was not the drug the addict thought he was buying. The idea that the seller is directly responsible for the use to which the buyer puts it as not yet been applied.
Ah, drug culture – what could possibly go wrong?
ah, over simplification – is that really the extent of your critical thinking abilities?
Why are we not holding fentanyl manufacturing pharmaceutical companies accountable for the death of a person similar to how leftists want to hold gun manufacturers accountable for shootings?
The ignorance about fentanyl is deafening in this thread
I do wish people used available information to their advantage
You wouldn’t look so foolish
In what way? What don’t we understand about fentanyl?
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHO OR WHAT IS THE ARCATA HOUSE PARTNERSHIP? Staging area? Why are they not admitting these folks as they said they would? Where is there transparency? What are they doing with the money? Why did the APD move our neighbors from the community center to highway 255? Agree to disagree but harm reduction is a lot safer and saves live ARCATA HOUSE PARTNERSHIPS What are you doing there WHY IS THERE NO REPORTING ON THEM OR WHATS GOING ON HERE? THOSE FOLKS ARE THERE FOR A REASON??
You all wanted this .
You wanted Defund the police
You wanted a lack of law enforcement so you could do illegal things without getting caught.
You wanted drugs legalized.
You wanted a soft approach to drugs and crime.
You wanted an economy reliant on weed and kicked out or made it almost impossible for non dope related industry to set up shop in Humboldt so they could pay taxes to fund police.
You got it.
40 years ago they arrested criminals and the Bums were taken to the county line.
Don’t let the ‘County Line’ hit you, where the Dog, should have BIT You!!!
What other industries have wanted to come to Humboldt but been pushed out?
it seems that if they bring back the death penalty, fentanyl could be the drug of choice to carry out the execution
I’d say that Fentanyl is the perfect tool to rehabilitate drug dealers and users.
It’s not just happening at the homeless camps. There’s also group down in Mendocino County called MCAHVN that has been housing a lot of the addicts. The SUNSET local hotel across the street from Safeway downtown Ukiah is where they love to house them all. Had a lady dead in a MCAHVN paid for hotel room for over 2 days that the maid found her. Where’s the MCAVN workers why AREN’T they stopping by the hotel a couple times a day to check and see how the clients were doing rather than paying for the party drug den?
One of the local Treatment Services has just been ousted for misappropriation of funds and embezzlement, all of their services are shut down immediately. They will all be reverting back to RCS. Manzanita is no more. I was talking with one of their clients the other day and I asked her about being homeless and how did you dry your stuff out when it rained or things got dirty how did you clean them? She flat out said to me…” that didn’t matter, I can always get free shit from somewhere I would just throw it all out, leave it who cares . I’d either go steal some more or go to one of the agencies and they’d give me more stuff no problem .” Right now along the railroad tracks in Ukiah stretching from Brush Street to Ford Road is a large homeless encampment larger than the one by the airport ever was. But they can do nothing to rectify it the people are packed under the railroad cars with piles of garbage nearly a mile long probably a hundred people living underneath those cars as I write this. They can glamorize and talk about cleaning up all the garbage piles down there that’s seen by the General Public. One of them said what are they going to do with us they drive us out of here? Where are we going to go next ? It’s a really easy place to hide all of it, just out of sight . How is there no limit on the amount of free sleeping bags, tents, hotel rooms, clothing, food services within certain time frames/limits draining the grants. Considering what that young lady said to me you’re looking at thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of items that she just walks away from when they get dirty or don’t serve her well anymore . X that by all these clients…follow the money right down the drain. No one is looking or tracking the outcomes. With all that being said the issue is accountability we can throw all the money in the world at these addiction problems but if it is not monitored with goals set and actual real outcomes, nothing is going to change for anyone. If this broken platform is advocated for as THE BEST OPTIONS, OUR BEST WORK by the courts, the systems…just throw the money at it but nothing else what do we expect?
People take drugs. Drugs kill some people. This has been going on for my entire adult life (I am 75). Blaming the president is ludicrous.
There are strategies that actually work to avoid death from overdose. Freely available clean drugs and safe spaces in which to use them, along with available counseling and help with detoxing. Safe shelter and relief from the despair that dominates many impoverished people in our society. Help not punishment.
End the war on drugs
Plenty of rich people die of drug overdoses and plenty of poor people don’t.
Yes agreed rich people suffer the issues as well. They just hide them better behind their fancy cars and nice houses and clothes. Many higher-ups in fante jobs struggle with huge addiction.
Is Root cause is always tough to see at 75?
Bidens been in politics since you were 25.
That’s a lifetime in public service and he’s got millions.
Figure it out, for fuvks sake.
I cannot believe how many people in my and my siblings graduating classes who have died from alcohol and drug addiction. I don’t know what the Humboldt county schools are doing with this generation to education on the dangers of alcohol and drug addiction and death but I don’t even recall a single discussion by the adults in my entire K-12 years. Not saying it starts in “K”. Also, every drug imaginable could be found availed for purchase every single day on campus of my high school. Maybe a proactive approach to educate kids at the jr high or even 6th grade level before drug use starts would save children, parents, and families from suffering the devastating effects that alcoholism and drug addiction inevitably Will have.
Hooray Word You put that nicely.
Education is the only way out of this mess we’re in. 6th grade or younger in certain areas.
Maybe Chinese fentanyl brought across the open border by Mexican cartels.
Thanks Joe!
Theres no way to have a give and take conversation on RB.People never see eye to eye on anything.Blame the republicans,blame the democrats.you can never move foward
