Man Stabbed and Taken to the Hospital, Say Arcata Police

StabbingYesterday evening about 6:50 p.m., law enforcement learned that a man had been stabbed in the Giuntoli Lane area by an unknown suspect and made it to an Arcata restaurant, Toni’s.

From there, explained Sgt. Brian Hoffman of the Arcata Police Department, “[The victim] was transported to the hospital and left of his own accord.” The victim, he said, was “someone we’re familiar with in the Valley West area.”

Hoffman said that there is “not a threat to the community.” Officers are checking video surveillance and investigating the situation, he explained.

Putting a whole bunch of drug addicted transients in a motel where there is already a huge population of criminals… what could possibly go wrong.

I’d be interested to hear your suggestion for what should be done.

Stop all handouts except for those willing to go into a confined treatment program at the state capital city. Let gruesome Newsom handle it since he cares so much.

Ban knives unless the person has passed a thorough background check?

If I were homeless I would be carrying a machete. Although to be honest I was homeless through out the 12th grade at age 17 and did not have any weapons. But it was 1969/70 in the San Fernando Valley and not too dangerous as far as I could tell.

There used to be a County Farm out by the Airport for such folks to clean up, dry out, get some exercise and medical attention… and then move on… It worked well for Humboldt natives…

That’s the liberal way. Plus they feed them and condone substance abuse.

Unfortunately the same impression is left with prospective medical doctors too. Not a healthy place for raising a family. Most of us have become so used to drug addicts and homeless camps having spread everywhere, we don’t notice them so much. But, while other places have problems with those things, they don’t have them everwhere all the time as Humboldt does.

Yup. Cushy suburbs. Like everywhere but the Tenderloin, Bayview and maybe Mission. Until recently.

Thanks to mack. Parks and Recreation at least when I lived there. I was court ordered community service there and it was great. Arcata should have an option for that as well. It will put them to work cleaning up their own mess. Maybe if they are court ordered to clean up maybe they will learn to clean up after their selves.

We could lose Harbor Freight. I would hate to lose Ray’s also, it is the only place that sells Coleman’s Shepard’s Pie seasoning.

Absurd, the Bay Area is worse than Humboldt for homeless encampments. Whole sidewalks on main throughfares covered in shanties and tents in the Bay Area. Civic Center in SF looks like The Walking Dead.

“someone we’re familiar with in the Valley West area.” *but we wont tell you who. Says APD* “not a threat to the community.”

All parents who think the new “Cal Poly Humboldt” designation means this is a good place to send your children…. research the area before you send them here alone.

The saddest part is they said a couple years ago that about 20% of the students are essentially homeless and are couch surfing. To me that is dangerously close to falling into the abyss.

They are building housing. There are apartments under construction right now where the Craftmans Mall used to be. Another development is underway over in the Westwood neighborhood. The Gateway project will provide thousands more. “Course, the commenters here mostly just bitch about those too.
Seems like some people just like to complain.

Well since there was only one stab. It clearly wasnt a high capacity stabbing devise. Maybe biden and his parade of lunatics made a difference banning bump stab attachments ?? NAH

Yes homeless people with Mini 14’s with bump sticks would make it safer.

Love arcata and the chaos spiraling out of control. It’s been like this for many years almost lawless you have to get caught red handed breaking multiple laws for police to care. Whenever i come down the mountain i always bring acid and mushrooms for the plaza people n give arcata a little push. Why not the shrooms are legal and the L is a misdemeanor.. Humboldt is lawless for better or worse. I love it cops don’t even notice me and I don’t hurt anyone but I do anything I want in this place with no fear of law.

I was on Amtrak from Portland Oregon to Martinez California during the day on December 2022. The homeless camps are all the way from Portland to Martinez along the rivers, forest and parks. So sad to see all the camps along the 15 hour ride. The makeshift homes out of tents, tarps and pallets. The parks consumed with homeless and the debris that comes with humans living outside in the elements: raw waste, litter and garbage everywhere!

Its like all the other degradation of society the liberal politicians cultivate it then when people are desperate to avoid it. They say for 50 billion we can solve it.! Then form committees and departments. For all the liberal arts majors to staff. And pass pointless ideas back and forth in their meetings and nothing gets remedied Just more fleecing of the citizens

looked over these previous stabbing articles and they start in 2013 to 2017 then jumps to 2023. Im not suggesting crime nor homelessness isn’t a prob but let’s be clear on what’s happening . 6 years is a big gap. Comment suggested these were relatable instances. It just reminded me to be careful what I read.
