I don't think you would enjoy Detroit if you got the house free. It's about as bad as Havana without the decent weather

Things aren't looking too good for the conservative slate. Are you going to redefine left wing fringe?

Oh? Did Lovelace win as a left wing fringer?

Or did he call himself a "business owner" who was against grow houses to get elected? Got himself the HCDSO as an endorsement... yeah, right.

You can redefine left wing fringe when the left wing fringe can run as who they really are instead of lying through their teeth.

Mark Lovelace was elected by people who know exactly who he is, an environmental activist who they support. Those sour grapes sound bitter too.

Stillman what does she 'deserve'? That she hasn't already gotten from "her" town. Is she 'happy'? Does she have a pleasnt life with love and true freinds in it? Or is she up tight trying to convincer her self about what she's molding Arcata into. (Oh don't look at the Bar's and the cig butts on the street) - Also two of her homes were busted (PG&E locked out) for being grow homes - she didn't even know - she's such a 'good' land lord - man was she pissed!

As to Lovelace - he won even with Paul P. playing Nader Spoiler - so kick him that 12% more of the PROG votes.

and YUP everyone knows who Mark L. is and what he is and was - it got him elected.

Thing is that statement Rose "can run as who they really are instead of lying through their teeth."

Is, well I don't know how to stay it. One of the greatest men in Humboldt died this year - would you say that about him?

Lets go for a walk on Roger Rainbow - see the water line, the chickwire fences and so forth?

What the hell do you think that was for - but no one would think of saying what you said about Lovelace about Roger.

Yet you could - and I love the man so much - I never cried (and still do) as much as when I think of him gone!

So how come its okay (as I've often asked) when so many of the "old boys" grew and everyone knew - but no one said anything about it?

BUT Lovelace is a PROG and suddenly HE's supposed to put his whole histroy out there?

We've been though this all before - go speak with Jack Noble - if you know him - about what's what - if you know him well enough that he'll trust you to tell you ...

Or Kenny Barelles - or any of the "old boys" -- again if their PROG's their liers - if their "good old boys" their charming ...

I guess - Rose you (as I always said) either heve NO IDEA of what went on in Humboldt - or bought or ignored what you heard as so many did and do ...

But to NOT give Lovelace a pass - when you'd give Roger and the rest - its too wild.

Its like when Terry and Renner ran - they were the Librals back then - totally supported by the people in the hills ... in the know ...

Anyway its a loosing battle - your in such denial - about all this - never mind - sorry I bothered you --

ROGER WE MISS YOU!

Maybe it was cause the "old boys" did it with style - and were gentalmen - and these new punks ruin homes and all that crap ...

Still no reason to bag on Lovelace - he's who he is - everyone knows what he did up in Freshwater - et al ...

and who is freinds are ...

and we're all down on grow houses -with punks that screw up homes - and don't live in them - and don't talk to neghbors - and play scary gang bang games -- we ALL are down on that ...

Prog and Conseritive alike ...

9:19 that was wild,wild stuff as JC would say. Roger was a great man. Mark is a scum bag. If you don't get that you are the one out of touch. Because the nut jobs elect another nut job doesn't make mark any less a phony paid radical lobbiest. When you know the slimmy games that went on, Alex talking Brian into running then rolling over for her radical pals as a start,you just might start to realize how screwed we really are.

Paul Gallegos

The Humboldt County Grand Jury found that "Weak leadership and poor managerial practices" have undermined the office... Implicit in all evidence gathered by the Grand Jury - including interviews with the D.A. (Paul Gallegos) - is the unfortunate truth that the D.A. (Paul Gallegos) exhibits a limited understanding of how things are done in the department" Gallegos "lacks the global perspective needed to keep the department operating efficiently," and quotes an unnamed staff member as saying, "The D.A. (Paul Gallegos) does not fully understand the functionality of many of the things we do here" - Years later, in his own words: "I’m not an administrator, they didn’t elect me to be an administrator, they elected me to make sure this office runs..."

Douglas & Zanotti

CASE TOSSED The district attorney misrepresented the law and failed to provide evidence of former Eureka Police Chief David Douglas' and Lt. Tony Zanotti's innocence during a criminal grand jury inquiry into the 2006 shooting death of Cheri Lyn Moore, defense attorneys argued in court documents filed Thursday... ”Our judicial system stands as a real and necessary check on the grand jury indictment process,” one of the documents states. “This court has the authority and the means by which to halt this prosecution, which is justified neither by the undisputed facts, nor by the law.”

Gallegos has taken what was "arguably the state's best small DA's office, with a cutting edge CAST program that "trained the trainers"... into a bunch of time serving bureaucratic wannabee brown nosers, lightly sprinkled with a couple of earnest learners who are sure to split as soon as possible.

One weeps for Max Cardoza who won Angellel, and for Maggie Fleming who won so many impossible victories. Mired in Humboldt for personal reasons, they have to suffer the ignominy of working for Paul, with Yougo, yes, yougo who has freed more people as a prosecutor than he did as a defense attorney. As has Paul. Anonymous comment

Gallegos has answers for everything. I’ve never met anyone whose answers came so quickly, with such polish - except about his law school(s). He likely sounded the same way when promising to get prosecutors off their anachronistic “at will” status and onto civil service status. It never happened. Indeed, he told them, “Disloyalty will not be tolerated” – a real morale builder.

He sounds great. What progressive doesn’t want to believe in him? But it’s a myth. He’s an intellectual lightweight and self-aggrandizer who tries to please everybody with glib answers. Jim Fahey for The Arcata Eye

The Humboldt County DA's office is one of the most exciting prosecutorial
offices in California.

Its District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, is willing to charge anyone who commits
wrongdoing--no matter how wealthy, sacrosanct, or ruthless. He believes in total equality before the law. He also plans to be innovative in promoting programs of prevention and treatment. He wants to make it the best prosecutorial office of its size in the nation.... Gallegos' Help Wanted ad

Gallegos' OWN Quotes

★ ...District Attorney Paul Gallegos said he believes the statute of limitations clock, even on misdemeanors, doesn't start running until law enforcement knows or reasonably should have known of the offense. In this case, Gallegos said, that means the statute of limitations would not run out at least until Feb. 8, 2009, or one year after Gundersen's arrest and the discovery of the photographs in question...

★ "...some people actually molest out of different feelings, some times out of feelings of love....” DA Gallegos explaining why Child Abuse prosecutions were down

★ “I never said that the information was not available under the Freedom of Information Act. Quite the contrary, I informed you that our use of force policy is not a public record.” Paul Gallegos to the Times Standard 5/25/07

★ ...“One is that I do everything to make people happy which means I don’t stand for anything except for just something,” he said. “The other is I stand for something and I try to be a leader and take some people, a group of people, a community someplace and I say guess what folks, this is who I am. I stand for your beliefs. We share these beliefs or we don’t. You get the option to judge that. This is who I am and I am committed to leading us this place, wherever it is...." Eureka Reporter Gallegos defends record, looks ahead 7/3/2005

★ Note the difference between what he SAID, and what he DOES..."...So what are these issues? Top on Gallegos' list is the proliferation of "garbage cases," small-time crimes and overcharged cases that he said are clogging up the court system.

Garbage cases, said Gallegos, come in two forms: Cases that would lose if actually brought to trial and cases that are overcharged for the crimes committed. The idea behind filing both kinds of garbage, he said, is to get the defendant to plead guilty, netting a conviction without having to go into court.

Again, the IRONY is astounding! Look at what he SAYS, and then think about what he DOES! "Probably 95 percent of the cases that are filed plead guilty. In fact, there are a lot of cases that are filed on the assumption they will plead guilty, because of the time and expense involved in defending them. But these cases shouldn't even be filed in the first place, because if they were challenged, they would lose," Gallegos said. Better yet: If they weren't filed at all, it would save the county time and money...." North Coast Journal 2/21/02 Too bad he didn't take his own advice.

★ “Tim’s a stud,” he said. “He really is; anyone would be stoked to have him.” Gallegos on his second in command right hand man Assistant District Attorney Tim Stoen. (Former second in command right hand man to Jim Jones/People's Temple.)

NOTE:

"Helping Crush Progressivism" - ie: exposing the predatory litigious orgs and those who seek power for power's sake.... The original purpose of watchpaul is to post important documents relating to Humboldt County District Attorney Paul Gallegos and his handlers who seek to gain power through the acquisition of political offices. This includes, but is not limited to, the manipulations of "Humboldt Watershed Council," "EPIC," "Baykeeper," and other activist groups - the unregulated orgs. It also includes the master manipulators, such as Richard Salzman and Ken Miller.
