Humboldt County...where it's the 60s forever

[Jhenderson]

Quitting YOUR job because you don’t agree is laudable. Trying to stop someone else from working a legal operation on private property is criminal. If law enforcement dealt with those type of protesters as the criminals they are 2 things would happen. 1st the protesters would educate themselves before putting their freedom on the line for illegitimate causes. 2nd, the real issues of today would gain traction because they wouldn’t be overshadowed by all the foolishness in today’s news. I have no sympathy for those in the video blocking a working mans way. Their ignorance is no fault of anyone but themselves.

And i totally agree, with this particular situation, they are in the wrong, on many levels, just sayin some potests are legit.

Zackly. Protest the right thing, at the right time, in the right way. That takes research. Blocking loaded log trucks at a mill entrance ain't it.

I believe they can be charged as terrorists as that is what some protesters faced when they protested a local furrier here in Portland a few years back. The protests ended immediately and they never returned. If you try to change someone's mind by using duress or stoping what they are legally doing, or something along those lines, that seemed to fit the terrorist guidlines in this case.

I think the best response to the behavior of the protesters in the video would involve three Bald Faced hornet’s nests and a leaf blower. Entertaining to watch, and “earth friendly” if the leaf blower is battery powered.

Porosonik.

Yikes, but effective. Then again if someone is allergic to bees you could gain a manslaughter charge.

Then again, everybody's allergic to something. Like maybe LEAD....?

I believe a more politically correct term may be vitamin L Oh yea, thats right its California so the dreaded metal lead, is a big no no. I suppose if you shoot with lead in thst state, they are afraid someone might get hurt. Maybe they ought to mandated shooting a safer projectile such as feathers? Im sure a several million dallar new government agency could manage a feasability study on safer non-harmfull ammunition. Probably need to ban, or better yet, tax gunpowder on its emmisions. Sorry, rant over.

Actually that is a 660, the Mac kind with a bit less plastic, and damned heavier, than more modern saws calling themselves 660.

Wow!! Was I off.. Really must quit doing Humboldt county (shall we say) herb... Acres site says 23+ lbs without the bar.. Put a 30" on and I'd bet my wife wouldn't weigh that much.. Quite a saw. Thanks

Actually that is a fairly wide old Oregon rollernose bar. It balanced a hell.of a lot better than the 660 Stihl with that same length bar, even with a lightweight bar. Stihl could take a lesson from Husky and Mac on balancing saws with bats longer than 20".

I've been known to do what has become EXTEND A SPIKE... I whittle an old falling spike in half and weld it to the original after maybe a little custom fitting. Never have liked setting my saw down and the nose tilts into the dirt, mud, and/or pavement. But I like the longer bars.
