Rose...
does this mean you believe in Global Warming? I'm not being a smart ass here, just really curious.

If not, it would seem you just posted these links because they are anti-marijuana. I'm not assuming anything. Perhaps you can straighten me out and explain why you did post this "study?"

Was it just a case of, "I'm just saying?"

No. I don't "believe" in "Global Warming" but a lot of the pot-advocate warmistas here do - I just find it amusing - as I always have - that those who lament all of mans' "guilt" and who are so willing to don the hair shirts ALWAYS give pot growers a pass. Whether it is diesel in the rivers, or Vilica style bulldozing of entire hillsides and fouling of the creeks (for which they so readily sue normal people) to the "make the rich pay more (but not the pot kings who can afford $70,000 engagement rings and Hummers..."

It's just funny, Dave - like rhetoric carries the day - no respect for the real people who do follow the rules, using the rules as an attack mechanism but not following them, and especially those who preach "justice for all" when they practice anything but. The disconnect is so huge that it is impossible to ever put this thing back together.

The "new normal" means you can be put on trial for letting your kid walk in front of you on a sidewalk, but a guy with 9 felonies is let out to (almost) kill a man...

The Fernbridge Cafe guy gets arrested BY THE DA - oh what's the use. Humboldt County is sick. And there's no cure that I can see.

Well... I totally got the ironic humor, and rather enjoyed Rose’s poke in the ribs of the warmistas. I don’t know how anybody could have gotten that Rose advocates the Global Warming agenda with this post.

Good one Rose! You made them flinch.

Some of us can even know that pollution is bad, global warming has been happening for 22,000 years, and they are separate issues.

Also
I personally am not against marijuana, but I am against the waste and pollution of the indoor grows. Not a good way the save the planet. I totally get Rose’s focus and agree with her. It is a little two faced to whine about pollution while being a major contributor by using energy, and in a few rather dramatic cases cause great pollution though diesel spills and other chemicals.

Some outdoor growers that I know, grow responsibly. If anybody uses marijuana for medicine, they should make sure that it has been grown outdoors in a pollution free manner.

Exactly, Ernie - we have been against POLLUTION and WASTE since the 70s and even before. Dammit, back to the land and eschewing material goods was what the Hippie movement was all about before it got twisted by drugs.

We were there - recycling (which is GREEN) was what it was about - reusing barn wood for houses, patching and embroidering clothes, the base from which reusing glass and rubber tires (for roads) etc. sprang.

And corporate America, after Love Canal, came along. Somewhere along the way, the shysters like Al Gore discovered they could use the nation's "catholic guilt" to beat them up and make demands, herd them into a particular mentality, and essentially create (as Crichton eloquently pointed out) a new religion.

And so many of our friends bought the thing hook, line and sinker - one former friend telling me how he and his wife had to wear sweaters in their cold house because of global warming. To which I said, "WHY would you do that? When your neighbor has a $5,000 a month PG&E bill and you are applauding their lifestyle choice?"

I can understand frugality - saving money, eschewing material things, living off the land - I can't understand the hair shirts and self flagellation. And I especially cannot comprehend the blind hypocrisy of it all. Nor can I remain silent about the result - one of which is keeping a shitty Da because he is pot-friendly, especially knowing the price being paid by victims in this county.

As far as pot goes - grow all you want for yourself, I don't care - what I do care about is the picking and choosing that goes on here - deciding to ignore lawbreakers who flout not only the pot laws, but the business laws and tax laws - at the same time spouting the we hate the rich meme.

I'll give the soapbox back to you. :)

Sometimes I can be as thick as mud!

Irony. Of course. I should have finished my first gallon of coffee before asking you that Rose.

Good points Ernie.

Greetings everyone!
I am asking you to ignore the impostors of Nicholas Bravo and to tune in to The Nick Bravo Show exposing corruption in Humboldt County and beyond. I am also working on future episodes of Ayn Rand specifically the book The Virtue of Selfishness.

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.
