I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.
Contrary to local things I've read about Eureka being in the top ten of California's most dangerous cities this list doesn't include any Humboldt towns or cities.

Eureka had the highest property crimes. What will help? Get tough on criminals. When a county has a reputation for strict enforcement of laws, the criminals take note.🇺🇸
A similar comment was made on my Nextdoor Neighborhood e-mail list. I had to respond that criminals don't care about what sort of punishment they'll get when they commit a crime. They're not going to steal one thing as opposed to another because punishment for stealing that other thing is less severe than the one thing.
Seems to me they're more concerned about getting caught, regardless of penalties, at least at the time they decide to commit a crime.
Williamson is the name of my County. It's a well known fact around here that criminals avoid this county because it enforces the law.
