A shooting death at the “alternative” camp site – over dogs. A late-night attempted robbery at the pick up window of a local restaurant. A car crash and related fight and shooting at the Chico skate park. What the hell?
There are too many things wrong with the above story to point out – but I will ask, why are these people allowed to have dogs, and guns? The story provided on Butte County Fires and Crimes describes a situation that shouldn’t even exist – an outdoor insane asylum, “sanctioned” by city of Chico “management“.
Also on Butte County Fires and Crimes Facebook, a man provided a video of an attempted robbery –

Chico crime is getting out of control. I was parked waiting for my food at Los Bestos Mexican Grill on Mangrove tonight when two men wearing ski mask came up to my car they kept saying to open my door possibly robbery luckily I was able to drive off.
Please watch out everyone this was on Mangrove Chico.
I’d say, just don’t go out at night, but it’s not just nighttime. The skateboard park on Humboldt is becoming a regular crime scene at any hour. A couple of bad guys who didn’t like each other turned what is supposed to be a kids’ playground into a meeting place for druggies and criminals – at 11 o’clock in the morning. The new park proposed for Marsh Junior is their admission that the old park is a failure. Well get rid of it!
Actually, I can think of two other things we need to get rid of – City Manager Mark Sorensen and his fist puppet Billy Aldridge. This is mismanagement. Can you believe we pay some these fellas over $200,000/year EACH in salary to “manage” our town? Plus benefits, and that is another problem.

Thanks to The Dude for this article from Zero Hedge – we’ve talked about OPEB before – Other Post Employment Benefits. This is the debt created by both employer and employees paying completely unrealistic shares toward very, very generous post-retirement medical benefits, leaving the rest to ride the market with CalPERS, and then left in a bag to be picked up by the taxpayers. Well, Newsom, up to his pointy ears in his own debt, has decided we should just stop paying it.
That’s so funny – hey, let’s all stop paying our mortgage, our car payments, our credit card bills, and see how fast we end up at the “Alternative Camp Site”.
When I voted for Trump, I knew he couldn’t do anything for California. It’s up to California voters. It’s up to Chico voters.
Oh, Jesus.
Chico Taxpayers Association 
Juanita, once again you have revealed to Chico taxpayers that CPD, despite the oppressive budget expense, does NOT prevent crime…CPD simply investigates them after they have occurred… feckless leadership allows the farce to continue.
Thanks Scott,
I’d like to add, we have an old, corrupt, decrepit, insubordinate, incompetent District Attorney, who needs to be replaced. Wow, I feel so safe with bums allowed to carry guns living in tents around town. Mike, you old piece of shit, it’s time to get the fuck out.
Sorry, I’m feeling pretty bitchy today.
