'It's an armed invasion'
Mendocino County residents determined to take land back from large-scale pot growers

Mendocino County officials say they're determined to take back public lands from armed marijuana growers, with or without declaring a state of emergency requested by concerned citizens earlier this week.
“I've had it. We're going to get the illegal growers out of the national forest,” said Mendocino County Supervisor John Pinches.
Sheriff Tom Allman said he's already working on a plan for a large-scale attack on the illegal growers in the Mendocino National Forest.
Armed pot growers are keeping hikers, hunters, fishermen, equestrians and cattle ranchers from utilizing land that belongs to the public, county residents said.
People who live near and use the forest land are demanding that something be done. On Tuesday, they called on supervisors to declare a state of emergency and bring in the National Guard to help clear the forest of dangerous intruders.
“It's an armed invasion of American soil,” said Ann Marie Bauer, a fifth generation rancher in Round Valley.
Rest at link.....
It has gotten worse here. We tell people not to hike in the forests/public lands as there is a good chance they won't come out. There are advisarys all over the place because of this. We had major wild fires a couple of years ago. The firefighters were being shot at along with their aircraft.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

The only way that might be done is in fire teams.

I don't think political leaders have the stones to do what's necessary to clean out that forest. When cops have to be pulled out constantly and put on admin leave for shooting growers there won't be the political will to support them.
I predict a dog and pony show that accomplishes little besides clearing small areas near residential areas.That which does not kill me, better start fucking running.

I agree, it can be done. I don't think the political will is there to do it though. Originally Posted by MacLean

There is a part time team for the county. It usually takes around 3 hours to call them in because of how spread out they are. They also make up a good portion of the patrol staff. As far as reserves, they would have to go through the POST academy before they would be eligible to even be reserves in this state. Originally Posted by MacLean

SO can't put on an academy, has to be a "certified" school from POST and is over 6 months long Originally Posted by MacLean

If they went to the emergency declaration part they were discussing the governor could send in the national guard to "assist" officers/deputies with enforcement.
