Officers shot and killed a man who pulled a gun as they tried to keep him out of a complex of marijuana farms in the Lava Fire evacuation zone.

Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue told The Sacramento Bee that the man was trying to drive into the Mount Shasta Vista subdivision on Monday and pointed a handgun at a group of officers that included a sheriff’s deputy and local police.

The subdivision has been converted into a huge network of marijuana farms mostly run by Hmong families. The county has banned large-scale marijuana cultivation but thousands of pot greenhouses have sprung up. Police efforts to shut them down have been countered with claims of racial discrimination.

Don't get between a Hmong and his marijuana grow.

“Officers shot and killed a man who pulled a gun”

Do stoopid s5it win stoopid prizes.

Cost of “doing bizness”

[broken_clock]

Officers shot and killed a man who pulled a gun…

He chose poorly.

[fidelis]

Ignited by lightning on June 24, the fire is burning brush and timber in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest just to the northeast of the City of Weed.

Under the circumstances, an appropriately named place.

I read the article. The police did not kill the Hmong. Climate change killed the Hmong.

Now that the government condones pot farms

The killing of pot thieves continues

What’s the difference between now and befits pot was illegal?

The government now condones the death of those that try to steal pot

Don’t get between a Hmong and his marijuana grow.

That has been the rule of pot law/lore since we started bringing the Hmong to America in the late 1960’s to the 70’s!

[Don W]

Don't get between a Hmong and his marijuana grow. ANYTHING he is doing to support his family. You are very likely to vanish. The Hmong have NEVER messed around. A more serious people you will never meet.

[A strike]

But it’s always been a cool name.

[Kartographer]

Are you sure I thought I read he died of a Covid variant

[Cold Heart]

Covid is caused by Climate Change.

[sport]

Hell, every thing is caused by Climate Change. And racism.

[Bullish]

Officers shot and killed a man who pulled a gun…

Kinda' what they're constantly training for isn't it? I think I woulda' left the gun in my pocket.

[null and void]

COVID started in China, China is the #1 producer of that eeeeevil CO₂. CO₂ drives climate change. Q.E.D.

[Kartographer]

I thought climate change is a result of white privilege?

[Secret Agent Man]

Actually it appears that they did, and they won.

[Secret Agent Man]

“Bullet through head/ covid variant”

In California don’t mess with the Laotians either
