Facebook is as good as a news source. "They just said on scanner they know the suspects names and vehicle armed and dangerous." Names are mentioned, I will refrain from posting them until there's confirmation. But apparently it's not in much doubt

  2. While you are busy throwing names around, don't forget the business men who are profiting from marijuana or union workers.

    Greed has no political or economic labels.

  4. Really? Supervisor Lovelace? Don't look now, but the right is getting on board the greed train. I think if you look carefully you will see the hippy/liberal weed connection fading and the conservative/libertarian weed connection growing. Evidence? Supervisor Bohn's comments in the past 6 months, Republican's endorsement of "Legalize Freedom" candidate Matt Heath (one of only two candidates endorsed in 2014 by your HCRCC!

    Finally, new Weed Inc. spokesman/lobbyist Richard Marks. Progressive? No. Conservative Democrat, yes.

    1. Lib Jon, I thought any one not progressive is a Republican. Rose, you have it on record, Lib Jon admits Democrats can be conservative!

    2. Ask Supervisor Bass, Richard Marks, Matthew Owen, Councilmember Albin if I am down with simply the D.

      And btw - I'm also down with many Conservatives - old school conservatives like President Eisenhower or any family farmer or fisherperson who understands it is our responsibility to safeguard our resources for future generations.

  5. Haven't heard any mention of Pot with relationship to this crime, but I haven't been tuned in all day... wouldn't surprise me if it is a factor, but...

    As for Jon's comments, yes, you'd be surprised who voted for "compassionate use" - what? You thought it was all libby-dems? Most people I know are sick of the 215 scam, and just want it legalized already, put an end to the unintended consequences of defacto-legalization and the resultant crime. Colorado's about to find out what Humboldt already knows, either make it nationwide or you're a crime magnet.

    We're kinda tired of the look-the-other-way -while-this-favored-group-gets-to-break-every-law-on=the-books, too. Because it is not just growing, it's taxes, it business licenses, it's fees, it's employer withholding, all the things a NORMAL business has to comply with, letting these crooks skate is, well, criminal in and of itself.

  6. Jesus, LibJob, who wants to be a Progressive? You guys are nutcases with suit ambitions destroying traditional Democratic Party baseline by catering to the Yuppie crowd whose pitbulls attack the working class economic structure. Go away, please with your pathetic "Progressive" oxymoronic crapola you've swallowed because you and fellow Progs don't think holistically, only politically for the next vote count. Idiots on parade that never learn from history.
