"Lets put his fat ass in jail. That should silence him.
I, Redding Blogspot Blogger Earl Allen Boek grew up on the streets of Redding in the mid-fifties. Since my parents were divorced and mom worked days at Rexall Pharmacy and Fountain, while Grandma Mini and Grandfather Fred Markgraf watched my sister and brother and my blind uncle Larry, while running The Redding Roofing Company, At the ripe old age of 7, I was able to experience growing up in Redding like no other.

Today One Of Our Neighbors Was Killed
Today we lost a neighbor, but we can't really call him
that can we? This home had turned into one of our
drug houses recently and new faces were seen and
saw me while on safety patrol. Rough looking men,
staring hard back at me, as I made no secret, I was
watching them.

Heroin I'm told what was causing all the traffic at all
hours, their neighbors and I had been discussing it.
Most up here living are predisposed to live and let
live. Until the needles start showing up in your mom's
hedges when you try to trim them, or one of them
passes out in the street and appears to be dead. Or
another is caught attempting to steal your generator
left at mom's house after your four years stint as her
caretaker. Then it's on isn't it. The police of course
can do little and they tell you so. SINTF one of the
best things going in this regard, still takes time, and
these folks now pickup and deliver for one customer
at a time these days folks. Very little illegal drugs on
hand at any one time. And of course, what they do
in their own houses is sort of their business isn't it.

That is until 9 RPD units ascend upon your mom's
little cul-DE-sac, firetruck, ambulance and dozens of
support Highway Patrol officers and others are searching
your entire neighborhood for the suspected killer. The
ROBO call warning you to stay in doors, be on the
look out for a fellow with a red mohawk. Maybe armed.
Call never mentions he just stabbed a fellow in the neck
with a knife like some slaughter their livestock before
they are cleaned and eaten-ed.

Over the course of almost 3 years, over 18,000 miles
and 5 drug houses (not just grow houses) we're talking
about 24/7 hard drug sales operations and an adjoining
neighborhood meth lab. These patrols were performed
with very little backup, even none at times. Maybe they
really had no one to send, maybe because the officers
on patrol didn't like the idea of me volunteering or the
fact that I had called for them each to have cameras.
Who knows, at the end of the day, one of these druggies
from one of these homes files false charges and one
unethical union officer who thinks he has a axe to grind
with me. "How dare I perform, free volunteer safety
patrols with little or no backup for 2.5 years at the time
successfully. What will my work do to the scales of
Redding justice. The very day I went to the city and
secured a city license for NEXT DOOR CITIZENS PATROL
I was arrested for "illegal use of pepperspray" against
a drunk, druggie and reckless speeding driver. I was
falsely accused, falsely arrested, falsely jailed, tried
and convicted. The members of the local DA office
all seated outside my court room, celebrating the
conviction of a innocent man. Even my accusers own
words to his relatives that he had taken out and raped
a women after a dinner at Dry Creek Station was
with-held from my jury.

After today, I am reminded again, I'd rather be tried and
even convicted of something I did not come close to doing,
by twelve than be carried by six. Let me hear a Amen.

REDDING NEEDS ANOTHER $200 MILLION FROM THEIR SO CALLED SAFETY TAX
These highly controlled and staged events don't change the facts. These measures were already voted on and turned down by the voters. Re-colored and re-packaged as a "safety" tax, it is highly unlikely that given this blank check by the citizens of Redding would actually make any of them a bit safer. In fact, judging from recent events and history the opposite is more likely. Many Redding residents are totally happy with the detailed study purchased by the tax-payer that showed (after comparing our police department with others nationwide) that RPD's problems with coverage was NOT having enough officers on the payroll, but the way they were being scheduled. Since the looting of the CITIZEN owned Redding Electric Utility was discovered (millions a year were siphoned from REU's profit) forcing rates to go up to seniors like my own 84 year old mother, to pay the outrageous saleries and pensions of existing and retiring officers, the city has hunted for a way to replace THAT blank check. Don't be fooled by the shell game. Having new funds, instead of using City reserves, while cost and fees in every agency increased, including RPD once very bloated budget and force, these new taxes, will allow the city to continue doing business like they have instead of making real changes. If successful they can then use general funds for more funded and unfunded pensions, including pensions for new hires. The known pension liability admitted too of over $200 million is only the tip of the iceburg, they know it, and you need to know it. This is the same city council that put citizen comments at meetings at the end of the sessions. That shut down a panel of volunteers who were getting too close to the truth how REU was being operated and where monies were going, regarding rate increases. Who refused to make the results of the first draft available to the same citizens they hooked to pay for it. No Accountibility Equals No Safety Tax.

Redding Citizens BEWARE Politician Past and Present Are Stealing Your Land and Birthright.
The lastest SPEAK YOUR PIECE article found in
your printed paper is NOT showing up on your
electronic version. Since it is a political piece and
promoting the so called "safety" tax issues, can
we assume this was done on purpose, to ward
off any comment? Or just maybe an over-sight?
The writer list many good things these tax measures
will bring the city and county. Sadly, he has a bad
memory, there is not guarentee what-so-ever that
voters would actually get any of the promised
benefits being touted by the promoters of these
measures. However, there is plenty of evidence
that suggest, if these measures were lucky enough
to be passed by voters, those holding the purse
strings will do exactly what they've done in the
past, use these funds as a blank check to help
fund or off-set the funding of pensions funded and
unfunded, pluse the new pensions required if we
actually allow RPD to hire more officers, when a
recent study, costing $155,000 of tax payers
money found, that RPD did not have a officer
shortage when compared to other cities the same
size nationwide, but it did have a scheduling
problem. Evidence about how city management
and councils will react and treat such information
can be found when this first draft of the study
was kept from the public (voters) citizens with
even talk about setting it a fire so it could never
be seen.
Not to mention the funds needed already exist
in the general fund. Sounds just like the South
City Playground, someone has their eyes on
these funds maybe to help acquire them a
piece of citizen owned land to compliment
their private businesses, when they leave office.

REDDING, NO ACCOUNTABILITY NO NEW SO CALLED SAFETY TAX PERIOD

"Like any citizen patrol that I haven't been too keen on sponsoring because of the safety aspect, we'll work with them like we work with any other community group," he said.
*********************************************************
Earl Boek
Don't count on anyone but yourself while on safety patrol. If they
actually come and back you up, that's icing on the cake.
*********************************************************
EARL BOEK - Today
Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko has also voiced concern about potential vigilantism by over-enthusiastic members of the group.
*****************************************************
As the Sheriff and Chief both know, even when trained officers react in a "over-enthusiastic" manner, it can cause citizens to turn up dead, of natural, and other causes.
If you are able to operate out in the community performing safety patrols (by invitation only) in local subdivisions without incident,
or backup, for 2.5 years, you must have been doing something right.
AGAIN, NO ACCOUNTABILITY NO NEW SAFETY TAX
