    There's alot of homeless in Humboldt. Alot of ppl people that deserve to he heard. JP & Caity? Not so much. I gave them a place to stay and they repaid me by bringing drugs around our newborn. They tweaked on our stuff. Stole it. Then ripped our house off blind. We wer broke, and still helped them. They caused issues between me and my mom who I still haven't spoken to. I helped them because they said they where getting Clean....I even gave JP a deal on a Jeep I had. He proceeded to destroy both jeeps and felt like I owed him. His "wife" brought tweaker traffic over and ended up going behind our backs to get us evicted because we asked them to keep drugs out of our house or leave....they are LITERALLY the reason I left eureka and THE REASON I have little empathy for ppl in their situations....everything going on with them....is karma and they deserve it and don't let either of the fake kindness fool you....they burned EVERY bridge n option they had in humboldt....JP even ran a sober house for awhile and lost it cuz he got his "then wife" back on dope......karma is a mf I'm telln ya. AND IM 90% SURE THATS MY FLANNEL HES WEARING THAT HE STOLE FROM ME.

      Yup, I figured this when all they could do is complain. Need to send all these tweeker losers to internment camps out in the Utah and Nevada desert. I got so sick of, 'the feels' everyone has for street people when they don't understand how much they play off that victim mentality and then when someone does show them some genuine kindness they just take advantage of all they can and then think they are owed even more. If California wasn't such a victim-mentality driven communist state then I would of stayed but you're seen as a bad guy if you defend yourself against these types of people in any way. Need to pull out the stops and let lawful people carry guns and shoot criminals on their property, then you might see homelessness start to dry up when those losers realize they can't get over so easily on everyday people anymore without seriously risking their lives. California has become a toilet bowl for these types and it needs a courtesy flush since yesterday

      @@patrickk4180 I think you let your empathy get the best of your intellect. I grew up around and knew plenty of people like the losers in this video, they had emotional problems and chose to use hard drugs to cope instead of hard work. It REALLY is that simple because I've met others who had worse upbringings that were able to focus on the right things and self-motivate properly. Our pity for them is what's keeping them down because they will find someone who believes their sad story and they KNOW it... Plus, if you're in America you can't hold a candle to what a REAL hard life is compared to a place like Cambodia.

An old gf of mine would use a tracker on her phone that counted days from her last period so she knew when it was safe to not use a barrier, Catholics did the same thing for years.

    Over 6-7 yrs ago JP was doing amazing living at clean and sober house, working, driving legally…. He was making good money too think he was doing brickwork of some type, I remember this because I was living there at same time. He slipped up and then it was over… he lost everything.. but he was fully capable of holding down a job and I know he cld do it again if he figures out his priorities and put his mind to it.

      Yup. They feed off those bad feelings people have for them only to continue their cycle of burnt-out fringe living at the expense of all others around them. CA needs less restrictive gun laws and some castle doctrine so the good locals can help exterminate these cockroaches. That way the ones who genuinely need help will stand out from apart of the leeches or snap out it sooner. No more pity parties for human garbage, flush em and forget em

    Interview the robot. He's in eureka and he's everywhere and nowhere at once. He travels solo everywhere. He's fairly young, frizzy hair, hangs in the winco parking lot at nights quite often. Sometimes hes out of his mind crazy (drugs i suspect) but other times he's lucid enough to communicate. Sometimes he recharges in the sun, thus my nickname of the robot for him. He has to have a crazy story to tell. Ive always figured he was the hobo soul of eureka cause he's everywhere but only in eureka.
