MSNBC reports on Shasta County’s embrace of Trump’s Big Lie.

Eureka SWAT Incident: EPD and HCSO are on scene off Broadway between W Del Norte and W Hawthorne. Unknown what the original call was for, but officers have been there for several hours and are possibly searching for a warrant suspect in the area. HCSO SWAT resources have responded and fire is staging

Pretty chilling reporting on the Brett Watson restraining order hearings from the T-S’s Jackson Guilfoil. According to Guilfoil, Arcata city attorney Nancy Diamond testified that she became scared of the former city councilmember after receiving a warning from Arcata police chief Brian Ahearn.

Excerpt:

“(Ahearn) said the most potential for violence was Mr. Watson shooting himself on the dais,” Diamond said.

She said Ahearn added that the council would have to go into active shooter protocol — run, hide and fight — if this happened. Diamond testified that she feared Watson targeting her and other council members before committing public suicide.

City staffers testify in Brett Watson restraining order hearing

“The thought of going in and out of my office and running into him is scary,” Arcata city attorney Nancy Diamond said in testimony Wednesday morning.
