Well, he left no doubt about his intent.
Stop judging, he was DEFENDING HIMSELF!! Judge not, people are quick think they know what they are talking about, without all the facts!
Yes, l agree! Stop judging, he was totally defending him.
So Kym, are you deleting any post I make? If so, tell me so I don’t waste my and your time. Thank you
Nope. I was gone dealing with family stuff today.
Who has a picture of this punk so the people of our town know who to keep an eye out for
Hey Kym,
It should “bleeding”, not “bleed”, in the following sentence:
“Upon the officer’s arrival, he located a 25-year-old-male bleed profusely from the head.”
It is a press release. We publish them exactly as sent to us.
Your reporting should not be considered reporting! You leave out alot of facts and copy and paste is not reporting… laziest “reporting” ive ever seen but that explains why you havent moved up as a reporter
But because you dont beleive in freedom of speech im sure this will be deleted lol
You are absolutely right that this is not reporting. We do reporting but this is not an example of it. It is a press release from law enforcement as it states at the top. We post the majority of press releases we get from local government agencies including law enforcement. If you have concerns about what is missing from this press release the Ferndale Police have a phone number you can call at the bottom of it.
In regards to your other comment it was deleted as it insulted another commenter. If you do that again, be aware that we ban commenters for insults. That can include insults to me but generally does not.
Thank you for atleast posting this and I cannot wait til the truth comes out and you can “report ” on that
I know im right and if you want to know the victim refer back to the drive by shooting in Arcata…
