Well, it’s an hour and 15 later–what’s up, is this the fabled 100-house raid? Update please.

It takes awhile to drive these country roads.
They are heading to so.hum for quantity. Houses in arcata and sunnybrae are not big enough for their time, rest easy. Good Scoop there Hank- visuals and all, and here I thought you were resting on your Laurels.
Looking closer, they bring their own news trucks???
There’s multiple reports to KHUM that agents are in Arcata and Sunny Brae as well as going up Briceland Road and on the wildcat.
The Fortuna Riverlodge is the ideal spot to stage this event with the motels across the street, Denny’s open 24 hours a day, a gas station and the Eel River Brewery.
Who is up on the roof with a camera?
Ahh, never mind, I see It’s a RiverLodge cam. 🙂
Is it just me or is KHUM slightly non-neutral in their coverage so far this morning?
Are we pro-dope now?

I just received a telephone call telling me that they’re in Redway too. I’m going to follow up on my way to work.
A funny thing happened this morning at my house at about 7:30 a.am.
These two men in bullet proof vests came to my door here in Arcata. Very large hand guns on their hips, and an ear piece they must have been hearing lots of good stuff in.
They asked me if I would like to buy some Bureau Agent Cookies!
This explains EVERYTHING!!!

It looks like the KEYSTONE COPS are at it again… I wonder if they are smart enough to add some of the good stuff to there cookies… I doubt it…
Everyone needs to drive by the Red Lion and Riverlodge at 3 or 4 a.m. and HONK YOUR CAR HORN endlessly as you drive by. At least we can keep those asshole scumbags from getting any sleep!!!
Hands-off My carrots!
