Lake County Government Watch

Where did you Rivero people get dopers and weed fiends that can read and write. How can you sit home on welfare all day smoking dope and still think clearly?
 

Maybe Markham got Rodney to destroy all the evidence in his sexual harassment suit.
 

Where did you Mitchell people get clear thinking, highly educated and informed individuals when you spend the day drinking Rod's coolaid?
 

7:52 come on more useless BS. We need to worry about Mitchell and his chickenery and not make up smut on people who have honorable retired with a good reputation for serving their community for most of their life.
 

Please 747 I appreciate your attempt at leveling the playing field, in the two choices, but really that is calling it way to close, there is no way you can even with half intelligence think about Mitchell as a choice. The crimes the infidelities, Garzoligate, Dinius, Beland, Morshed, Wright, and it goes on and on, the totality of his leadership is terribly lacking, it is quite clear, the time for change is now, and now will be the time.
 

Sorry 753
it's from spending all day with their lips on Rodney butt. The coolaid only help to kill the pain.
Hey 752
I work hard everyday, paying my taxes, and support some dumb ass like you, working for Napa co.
 

7:52 It shows you they are wrong about weed. You should try it because you don't seem to be thinking so clearly.
 

Mitchell supporters motto. If at first you don't succeed blame it on the weed.
 

I see Red shot his wad and went back to watching movies from the 40's. I knew he was a windbag all along.
 

8:00 That's exactly the point we've all been saying. To me it's very clear but to those in Rod's camp who are free of independent thought it's still confusing.
 

Markham supporting Mitchell amazing. Years of bad mouthing Mitchell only to support him later, now that's amazing !!!!!!!!!!. Hey Markham have some backbone.
 

I have no need of weed, dope, booze or paint fumes to see we have only one choice in November and that's a vote for Frank Rivero for Sheriff of Lake County.

What we now have has not worked and has to go. We need new progressive thinking in that office not special interests, cover ups and deception.
 

When will Rod Mitchell come out and speak for himself and stop hiding behind his yes men? We want answers and not BS Rod and we want it now.

The day you slither out of that office I hope to be there to see you sobbing over the world not understanding you. Fact is we do understasnd you all to clearly. You are corrupt and immoral and the good people of Lake County deserve better.
 

Markham, man up like you did when you stood up to Rod. Go talk to Rivero before backing Mitchell. He is no good for us and we need a new boss.

Yoiu could have run for Sheriff but you didn't. You supported Baxter because you saw him as just what we needed but he lost. Now we have just two choices and you know in your heart that anyone is better then Mitchell. He has destroyed the department that you worked hard to build up and he has no second thoughts about it. You know he doesn't care about you.
 

We are placing new article on the Manifest, there is an article on the Rivero campaign kickoff going up, as well an article on the Credit and how our credit score has become our God. Quite interesting, there is also going to be a funny article on the current state of our U.S. currency that is interesting.
 

OWD I want to see more Rodney cartoons, they are right on and the resemblense is amazing.
 

Pull your illadvised endorsement Jeff and do it now. You know you hate him and you know him better hen most. Why did he lose your respect?
 

Markham and Ringen needs some backbone or is it creditably? They sound just like Mitchell: it was me, it wasn't, it is, no it's not me, someone else did it. snakes together, stays to together!!! What a legacy they have.
 

Red C, If what you say is true, I am sorry. I to got the GOB treatment as well. As life goes on, I am making 30% more per year and better benefits. I only had to look back for two years before people realized I was better than the department I had served for. Even if Rivero was to review my case, I would not not take my job back no matter what. Red C, I know you have asked alot of good questions on this sight but please realize, From one tossed to the curb Deputy to another, do you think Mitchell is right in his betterment of this county.
 

Ringen is a non person and no one pays the slightest attention to him. He's a malicious windbag and cut from the Rod Mitchell mold.
 

Post 817,we Love Jurgen, he does such a great job, you can go to the comic tap at the top of the paper and click to see all of his cartoons we have posted. We keep the gallery there. Jurgen was a thorn in Mitchell's side for many years it is said that Mitchell hated him! LOL so Jurgen now lives in Hawaii, and has been watching us since we started the Blog almost a year ago.
 

Mitchell has done nothing to better this County. He only bettered himself, not his wife, his kids, or anyone else. sorry only his butt kissers that he promoted.
 

What happen to the Mitchell supporters. They must have gone to daddy Rodney house for some milk and cookies or maybe some weed.
 

If they're smoking weed they must have made a stop at Beetredrobs cause everyone knows he grows the dankest buds in the county.
 

Hey Rob hows your garden looking this year?
 

Funny how you all have turned on Ringen! Who's next? Baxter, if he doesn't toe the line? Beland? Landes? Gotta testify the right way in those federal trials, you know. Don't want to leave Frankie hanging in the wind....
 

I voted for Baxter, same as Markham, I don't believe Mitchell has been the Sheriff we need, but, and I repeat, but I will never vote for Rivero. Rivero is the worst thing that can happen to law enforcement in Lake County. I did not want to vote for Mitchell in the primary, but now, I will be forced to vote for him to help make sure Rivero is NOT (Lovelace approved) elected.
 

WOw, look who is scared that RIngen and Markham now support Mitchell. Eventually the oil rises and everyone can see it. Rivero is the oil and people are eralizing he can not do that which he promises. False promises and not ability. Remember, bottom of the promotion list...... 512 wrote about a lot up there. I see people wanting to believe in something but not realizing it is a fantasy. Question: if so many upity ups were at the Rivero campaign bash, why no press and hoopla? Because, like this site, it is a lot of wishful thinking. You people should have found someone else to support if you are turely so against Mitchell. Rivero ain't the one. He emits that all on it own, if you can see through the smoke and mirrors.....
 

That is why it is so easy for us post 909 we move on truth and actions, the display of character and honesty we don't have to make any decision on who will join and help and assist us, people do it of their own volition. People's own actions are the only contributing factor to the sides they themselves choose to be on. We have asked no one to join us, they simply do, because it is right and it is just. You and Mitchell cannot hold that high standard, the history of Mitchell, Rob Brown, the other GOB's and the entrenched power for the past 15 years is sullied and cannot be repaired in the publics eyes. There is no turning one way or the other in our view, we have our values and that is why people come to us, if they make decisions such as Ringen, then so be it that is his decision.
 

I agree with 914, except for the spelling errors. and 913, true true. Rivero will destroy Lake County LE.
 

Post 914 what the hell is an uppity up? There were at our count 115 people in the room at any given time, and what a great event it was, so not real sure what this uppity up is.
 

Your in dreamland 913, but you know what you lost the primary and you will lose the November election, so live in your little dream world for as long as you can.
 

Lenny has written a great article on Epilepsy and it is posted right under the weather on the Manifest and 2 other new articles are up. Check it out when you get the chance.
 

Oly, its a figure of speech. You should have figured that one out. I am just saying, why is there nothing anywhere to support this alleged pouring out of support? You guys can not run this department for Rivero, and I believe that is what it would take. The man can't do it. Should have picked someone else....
 

Mitchell supporters, be afraid, very afraid of Rivero. As should the rest of Lake County. County LE will go down in flames and crime will run rampant up that guy. Rivero can run a mortuary, but his LE experience is pretty non existant.
 

Sorry 921 we are not following you, you guys can't run this department? outpouring of support?
 

924 Where the hell have you bee Lake County LE already has gone down in flames,thanks to your buddy Mitchell.
 

Mitchell have proven he can't run the department either. He is a corrupt politician and no law enforcement professional. He is an embarassment to his profession and to those fine people who have dedicated their lives to serving their community. Mitchell serves Mitchell while servicing the tax payers.
 

9:24 - You are describing Mitchell which he has shown by his past record. He can't even run a mortuary let along a sheriff's office.
 

Half the GOB's are gone! Any new IA's happenning this week. LOL
 

Mitchell is the poorest excuse for a Sheriff that I've ever seen. His department is a joke and it's all his doing. Hell I would rather see a trained seal as Sheriff then Rod. Rivero will prove to be a good Sheriff. He may or may not be the best but he will be better then what we've had for 16 years. How can you Mitchell people in good conscience justify his mismanagement and screw ups?

Rivero could get elected and walk into his new office, close the door and never come out for 4 years and still not be as bad as Mitchell.

What are you Deputies afraid of?
 

Any new IA's this week are still in the process of being covered up until some responsible person puts it out. That won't be Rodney.
 

do any of you understand Rivero can promise you this and that new program on and on thoughtout the weeks until eletion day, BUT it is the BOS who calls the shots. His ideas sound good but I doubt any of them can get passed through the vote.

OH yes the sub station belongs to the state of California and the County has nothing to do with it sturcture so if there is an issue with leaks or whatever it is upon the state to make the decisions, infact in a couple of years there will not be any one in that building except court offices and of course the holding cells side.
 

Rodney's reward for 16 years of unkept promises is not another 4 years until full retirement. Sorry to the rest of you corruption supporters. Maybe Garzoli needs some help selling insurance. You could bid on the county's insurance because I'm sure they won't be able to get any coverage when all these lawsuits are done.
 

All this worrying and rumor mongering by our deputies is something we all need to be concerned with. What kind of department allows such unprofessional conduct. Well, the answer is clear and simple, Lake County SO under Rodney Mitchell and his thugs and yes men.
 

Does the BOS run the department? I think not. They do control the purse strings but many of the plans Rivero has outlined cost nothing so they would have no say. He speaks of reorganization and the creation of things every other department has like a chain of command, proper training and supervision, accountability and an appreciation for the good work done by employees. Do you really get that from Mitchell?

Why are you people so afraid of new ideas and change? Do you really think your department is run properly?
 

If the LCSO is such a great place then why does it have so many people getting arrested or fired and why so many law suits? The answer is mismanagement and no leadership plus a small group of arrogant officers who think they are real Cops who are above the law.
 

can you Rivero supporters answer this for the readers?
You love to make note of Mitchell's sex life how about we discuss your Canidates' love life.

We understand he and His wife are separated, and we also know how Us men have Needs that need to be fulfilled, so riddle me this Bat Man, who is doing Rivero, or who is he doing?

since he and his wife are not living under the same roof, don't come back with he is Celibate cause that just doesn't compute with all that Charisma and gushing smile, surely he has some philly's in his Middletown stalls, so come on we want to know, since we all know about Mitchell's thanks to your recordings and reporters who spy on him even though it was long ago............................clue us in we're listening.....don't avoid this as it will get posted each time until there is an answer posted.
 

There ya go 946 exactly what Rivero talked about last night, the SO now and Mitchell now is no no no, you can't do anything you can't change anything. What a joke.
 

Mitchell himself could never get hired by any decent law enforcement agency. He was a part time reserve when he came here because Sac Co. wouldn't hire him. He is the boss only because he was elected not because he was a great Cop or leader. If he were at a real PD or SO he either would never have been hired or would still be a patrol Cop. I suspect he would never have passed probation. Listemning to his DSA gang I wonder how many of them could have made it on a real department.
 

Mitchell needs change , his panties are quite stained .
 

Rivero and his wife are not separated, dips*%t.
 

to get a first rate answer to why do some go bad you would have to ask the ones who got into trouble, any line of work has it's problem people, I know where I used to work they would hire 10 people and by the end of the probation period we were lucky to still have 4, just because someone wants to be a certain career person does not make them one.

people have complained why they don't get shed of some and when they do dismiss them again the why's, I don't have the need to know the details that to me is personal issues and non of my business, but then that is me minding My own business and keeping my lot in life clean.
 

9:57 - Another stupid statement. Mitchell and his affairs speak for themselves.

Rivero does live with his wife and son and he's not out chasing other men's wives. Perhaps you should pay more attention to your own wives with Mitchell on the loose.

That said it your time to accuse Rivero of being a Cuban druz lord or his supporters of being old fools, stupid Mexicans or pot smokers. You make me sick you two bit assholes.
 

9:46, My IA consisted of far less than what is going on now or in the recent past. Like I said Before, I am making alot more now and have a better style of living than before. But now I will not have to depend on the public to watch my back against the GOB as the time has past and the truth has come out. Granted to late for many honest/good deputies. To answer a much ealier question, No, I did not get justice nor do I care to pursue it. I ran my patrol beat for the people not against them, I had what ever info I needed with one maybe two telephone calls. The citizens trusted me and I trusted them. I paid the price thanks to my coworkers and department and hope the next Sheriff is not as Statisticly motivated let alone GOB friendly as this one, to much can be hidden.
 

Its been said that DSA officers and Rods boys have been going around threatening to quit if Rivero is elected. I think you should do just that, the department doesn't need people like you. The community who pays you don't need people with attitudes like yours. I wonder how many agencies would jump at the chance to get some schmuck from a second rate corrupt department as yours.
 

Rivero and his wife were so separated foot in your mouth
 

Thank you for your service and your positive attitude 10:15. We need people like you but Rod has made it a point to rid himself of anbyone with progressive ideas or who doesn't saddle up behind him.
 

Rivero would fire them anyhow and replace with his illegals and all the poor people of his ethnic group who have been overlooked.

People are overlooked in the dept hiring because they do not pass the test, kinda like the reason Rivero didn't make Sgt infact if he had of made sgt we would not be having this convo.

you will see a horrible decline in services and response who the hell wants to work for someone who want to toss them under a bus and call them dishonest, his little outburst at Middletown was what you will see forever he is not the one you need. If you think Obama has disappointe the American citizen just wait....
 

Lyar lyar pants on fire. They may have been separated at one time who so have many of us. Fortunately they were able to work things out. At least Rivero wasn't out longcocking everyone else. Where is your wife?
 

Another stupid post by 10:11. Can't you dopes do better then that? You are a real help to Mitchell's campaign and we all appreciate that.
 

I know you are but what am I? Grow up corruption supporter your information is stale. You know not of what you speak.
 

as much as you want Mitchell out I don't want Rivero In. so we can agree to disagree with respect and man up to say we will not change so I bid you a good night and God Bless
 

You do now you dope. Mitchell has a proven record of doing just that. Where the heck have you been?

Rivero will not fire you dopes unless you bring it upon yourselves. He couldn't if he wanted to inspide of your weak DSA. Mitchell does it all the time and he cares nothing for you, your fasmily, your rights or just doing the right and fair thing. As I citizen, a voter and a tax payer I would be happy to see people with an attitude like yours get the ax. You are not the kind of Cop we need or want. If you haven't done anything wrong and you are not one of the corrupt then why are you so worried. I would be more worried about Rod then about Rivero.

Who the hell hires dummies like you? Oh ya,Rodney Mitchell.
 

10:14 a good comback but you are still the joke of the schol yard.
 

Now you say they were seperated which is it, I accept your apology I was telling the truth, so who was he will when he was not with his MRS come on he is not that saintly you wanted to smear Mitchell and made all the public info out there but hide Riveros sex life.

I bet you don't answer, your Rivero is not the saint get him off the cross someone needs the wood for a BBQ
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 

Goodnight Mary Grace.
 

My wife died last year in a car crash that left me paralized from the waist down. any more questions I am only happy to give the answers
 

Who knows and who cares. I'll bet it wasn't some other guys wife. If one is separated I suppose the door is open for both parties unless they agree otherwise. Has Mrs. Rod agreed to an open relationship where he can run around boning everyone else's wife or goat? I suspect not but it does clearly show our Sheriff's moral character or lack there of.
 

sorry 10:19 last time I looked I had parts that Mary Grace does not have
 

Then I guess that tragidy makes it OK for Rod to run around with everyone else's wife?

I am truely sorry for your loss.
 

Mary Grace is a very nice young woman and I believe she is a good person although misguided when it comes to Mitchell. She is obviously more forgiving then many of us. Mitchell is still a scoundral and a crook.
 

I feel sorry for Mrs. M. This is not her doing or her fault. Mitchell still goes around calling her a "C" to his cronies and laughing. Sorry Rod some of us fail to see the humor in it.
 

10:22 is that why my goat is walking all goofy . I better not catch that pervert trying to violate that poor thing .
 

Goodnight Mitchell lemmings and good night to the good people of Lake County who will run Rodney out of office in November.
 

10:29 that's it.
 

Post 105 great post, thanks for the comment it was quite well said and very honest thank you.

As far as Mary Grace and all others go who would cast a vote for Mitchell it is only through a lack of complete understanding that one could do that. Or casting an eye veiled by the cloak of denial that one could look at Mitchell's record and what he has done in the past 15 years and cast a vote for him, we wish greater wisdom on those that at this point would cast a vote for Mitchell.

Please corruption Mitchell/KKKclint supporters you have to stop trying to bring Rivero down to Mitchell's level you really want to do a side by side comparision of fidelity and actions Mitchell against Rivero, you will be crushed. Stop it you look like such fools. It is the sign of a desperate condition, you must come to grips with reality.
 

The choice here is not only not clear, but not easy either. On the one hand, a candidate with little experience in management or supervision or law enforcement, for that matter. Don't try to say that private business is the same; it isn't. Government doesn't operate under business rules. Maybe it should, but it doesn't. On the other hand, an experienced administrator who has made some God-awful mistakes and is obviously hated by most of the readers of this blog. That being said, the reality is that there is still a choice come the next election. Now you may think that choice is easy (Rivero! Rivero! Rivero!) or not (Mitchell all the Way!). Neither is correct. Yeah, I know the purpose of this blog is to destroy Rod Mitchell, and anyone who might support him. That's pretty clear. But when you start talking about Kool-Aid drinkers (which is really always a reference to Jonestown, where it wasn't even really Kool-Aid; it was a cheaper product called "Flav-R-Aid" but I suppose that's nit-picking at this point) maybe both sides have been sniffing the glue of their candidates, which is why there's never a real debate about the issues. Mitchell is bad, anyone who supports him is bad, he's evil, mean, wicked and nasty. Or Rivero is a Cuban Commie Sadist Irrational Mean-spirited jerk. Neither is right, and both are stupid comments. The reality is that the current sheriff has made HUGE mistakes. Done really DUMB things. The other candidate truly isn't qualified. So where do we go? That's why a real look, not a rant, not a tabloid look, not a discussion about the sex lives of either, or what they do to their dogs with a fork in the dark of night, but the real qualifications, foibles, and experiences might shed more light than heat. Thus far, there's only been heat here, and little else. There are 78 days left until the election. How about someone, somebody, somewhere start talking about the real issues of who is the best qualified candidate for sheriff, and leave the name-calling, innuendo, belligerence and just plain stupidity aside. I know that as soon as I post this, I will then be the subject of the name-calling, bellio
gerence, innuendo, etc. But for the sake of humanity and civility, I thought it might be worth the risk.
 

11:18 when make conclusory statements that Rivero is not qualified and say Mitchell has made hugh mistakes you are wrong on both counts. You are obviously a Mitchell supported attempting to rationalize his corruption and mismanagement. Rivero is well qualified: SFPD, 20 years running a successful business, well spoken with a clear vision and decent. Your post just does not wash.
 

I would remind you that its only errors or mistakes when not known. what Hopkins and all the others did were not errors or mistakes because within the three year trial of Mr Dinius they became aware of the errors and mistakes and then allowed them to become lies.Then they used the legal system to further their ends. Please let me say this Officer Rivero might not be the person we need but to leave Mitchell in place would be a reward for his lack of honesty and ethics. I will give Officer Rivero my vote.
 

God awful mistakes, Hugh mistakes, Dumb ass things, No thanks I'll go with the other guy.
 

Well said James. I too don't know if Rivero is the person we need, but I do know that Mitchell must go. A vote for Mitchell= a vote for the continuation of the corruption we have seen in this county.

By the way I really liked your article on epilepsy, it was a good read and I learned a lot.
 

11:18 It sounds like you got Mitchell pegged. However you obviously have never talked to Rivero. Give him a call, he will call you back and meet with you. Let us know what happens. His no. is 2956289
 

If you ask Rivero a question that he hasn't been coached on he will not answer you. His trainers just can't prepare him for the unknown. They won't be working with him on a daily basis and his lack of experience in the field sends my vote to Mitchell.
 

I have met Officer Rivero and I find him to be a pleasant fellow. That said I have met so many with this local government that were nice and pleasant but in fact turned out to be nothing more than the usual anal openings in this local government at the upper end. I was the fist to make up a sign and put it up for officer Rivero, only because I have got to know what Mitchell is long before the Dinius case so for me it would be any one but Mitchell. As I stated I will not reward him with my vote.
 

Good morning Lake County, we want to put a morning post up, to clarify a few items for the Mitchell?kkkclint corruption supporters. You must stop trying to compare Mitchell to Rivero, impossible to do, that is like comparing the Dali Lama to Stalin. Really it cannot even be a conversation. You have two very simple choices here, on is Mitchell whom we all know the terrible story of, and one is for change and a dynamic new move toward justice and transparency, and that is Rivero. You cannot hope to do a side by side comparison it just won't work. You can try the Mitchell is no good, but I don't know about Rivero idea also but that is just an attempted spin, and that does not work either. You have to face reality, your boy Rodney is cooked, he is done, you cannot save him no matter what attempts you wish to employ, but you can help yourself a little bit so the pain of losing is not so bad, and that is stop trying to compare the two, boys it just does not work.
 

The Lake County Sheriff's dept. under Mitchell is a disaster.
 

Good morning gullible people. Ready for the next dose of indoctrination?
 

Change is coming whether your for it or not. Mitchellthugs it's count down, your days are numbered. Profiling stops Nov. 2nd, Porn on the job stops on Nov.2nd, you can't function on the job, fired! No more Mitchellfreepasses, a great day of change Nov 2nd. The break up of the Mitchell Gang starts when Rivero takes over. Great Day of Change for Lake County.
 

I would love to see the look on hoppys face while the judges statements are read and then the findings from the State Bar Investigation . How will he explain perdicks interview with John Flynn and the fact it took over three years for the prosecution to figure perdick was boozing it up at Konocti .
 

When the insurance company finds out they have to provide legal defense for twenty five defendants and those defendants are accused of Murder , accessory to murder , perjury , witness tampering , wrongful prosecution . No they will ask for prosecution and they will add insurance fraud to the list .
 

There was a court order for hoppy to turn over perdicks blood sample and hoppy refused . If perdick was drinking at Konocti then the death of Lynn Thorton was murder . Remember perdick as chief deputy and a member of Team Dui was well aware of the consequences of his reckless abandon of life .
 

Please take note everybody there are several new articles up on the Manifest, Lenny has done a great write up on Epilepsy, that one is located right under the weather on the front page, another is the overivew of the Rivero Campaign kick-off and an article on the God in our society or credit score..Please sign up as a member on the Manifest when you get the chance, it is quick and easy to do, and thanks everyone for the support.
 

To: Can you Rivero supporters answer this for the readers?

I hate to break the news to you, but Riveo and his wife got back together several months ago. Rivero moved out of his house and all three of them are living in his big house. If there was any flack between Rivero and his wife, I believe his vacation indicates different. He spent all last month just with his wife and son in LA and San Diego doing the Disneyland and San Diego Zoo stuff. So if it is window dressing, who the hell is he going to show off in LA since the voters are in Lake County? God you guys are idiots.

Oh and Rivero never cheated on his wife. Unlike Mitchell cheating on his wheelchair bound wife SEVERAL times.
 

A huge mistakes was made fifteen years ago by the voters of Lake Co. When Rodney K. Mitchell was elected Sheriff. Mitchell a man with no leadership skills, A man that mislead the voters, A man that took corruption in local government to a new all time low. Today Mitchell is asking us the voters for, four years. Let's say no the Mitchell on Nov 02, 2010.
 

I disagree, Mitchell did a great job until he was re-elected last time.

What was a good, honest Sheriff that watched over his men and women, changed into an ego driven mad man who would crush anyone who does anything against him or his GOB's. From a guy who loved his wife and even left in the middle of meetings to help her at home, to a sex crazy moron screwing anyone he can no matter who gets hurt. And we still don't know if he used his county car for those meetings. From a guy who ran on "The Sheriff's Office is to top heavy" to returning the lieutenants and captains positions. From a strong manager to Perdock mess and Garzoligate. Maybe Kip forgot but I did not when Mitchell punished Kip by putting him behind a desk right in front of his office so he could watch Kip doing basically nothing.

So ask yourself, do you think those actions would have happened of Rivero was in charge? Mitchell really needs a mental health exam.
 

Not one penny of our tax dollars should be spent on the Dinius lawsuit. Mitchell and his gang of thugs, should pay it. Dinius could own 25 houses in Lake Co. Mitchell can sleep with the homeless, Mitchell can get free food from the food banks.
 

Kip behind a desk in front of Mitchell office, doing nothing!!! Talk about wasting our tax dollars. Mitchell may need more than mental health, Could he have an STD that's affecting his head?
 

How many sexual harassment lawsuits will be filed against the County after Mitchell loses the election?
 

11:18 We're all civil here. You're right to a point about the malicious comments made about each candidate. but isn't honesty and integrity expected in a sheriff of our county? If he will cheat and lie in his own home what makes you think he will do the right thing in his office, when it comes down to going after an innocent man or covering up a for his top deputy. There was definitely no honesty or integrity involved in that situation.
 

10:13 wow!! how do you define civil!? I sse Rivero supporters on here making vicious and very personal attacks that go way beyond politics on this site. Does not meet my definition of civil
 

To the citizens posting on this site, we want to inform you that all of you have just broken the record for comments in a 24 hour period, we hit 284 comments in the past 24 hours. As many of you may notice we have a lot of new and sharp people posting, the site is essentially going viral in the county, there are not to many citizens, government officials etc. who now, do not visit this site. It is rapidly becoming the place to be for information and constant discussion in the county. This is going to be very important as the campaigns progress, great job everybody and let's keep it up! Thanks for all the help and support!
 

The problem post 1025 is you want civil to mean don't say anything wrong about Mitchell, well friend it does not work that way, you do the crime you do the time, and in this case the crimes are against the citizens and the time is getting hammered for it. If you want to list something that you know is not true and you have the details please post it, but you cannot cry just because they are being exposed and then say that is not civil. Now you have to have a little bit of a thick skin on Blogs it is their nature. For example the now dead, anti-Rivero web site has an overview posted that we could have said was not civil, but we did not whine about it we just went after it, and now the site is dead. So that is a mote point. But overall I think you simply do not like the honest criticism.
 

10:34 must make Ollie feel real important being able to delete the posts that do not fit his version of the truth
 

10:39 Ollie civil means an honest dialog about candidates that does not include speculation on STD, mental health and that is just from today!

nor does being civil include accusing those who disagree with you of either being guilable or a member of the GOBs. I am entiteled to my opinion just as you are inentiteled to yours. Personal attacks are not civil. and that is why this site and you qualify as rabid rivero rabble


BTW I am not a member of the SO or a GOB. I voted for Baxter and like many common citizens will vote for Mitchel in Nov.
 

Oh sorry post 1048 you just lost all credibility, that voting for Mitchell part puts you in a category of ignorance and the inability to correctly address the issues. Now lets talk about the civil side you keep whining about. The copy cat site is called the Hate Rivero Site....Oh ya that is real civil, you are dear friend the pot calling the kettle black. Nice try though.
 

10:51 Ollie you just made my case just because I am voting for Mitchel, I must be ignorant. Even Baxter talked about getting this out of the gutter showing some respect for honest dialog. just today on YOUR site is talk of STD, mental health and infidelity. the hipocrasy here is appalling and Ollie you lead the pack.
 

1048 Thats funny most of the Baxter supporters I know (and there are quite a few)say they will either vote rivero or abstain from voting. Not one of them have said they will vote for Mitchell.
 

11:08 guess we will just have wait till nov and see. Some on this site seem to feel that is just a formality since they have already declared rivero the winner
 

We did make a point and it was the point we wanted to make, let's talk for a moment about the word ignorance, we will start with a base definition and let's see if we can make it fit for you and your choice of Mitchell.


ig·no·rance
   
–noun
the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.

So as you can see, use of the word ignorant is not a disparaging comment, it is a very specific definition of an individual like yourself who is acting without information, a proper learning, and a lack of knowledge.

Now there is no doubt this is the blinders called ignorance you are wearing. So no your point is not made in fact you made our point from the perspective of your ignorance towards having the proper understanding of the issues and the terrible performance, you see friend, you cannot look at Mitchell's department his performance the lawsuits, the civil cases the loses of deputies etc etc etc..and then say you are still voting for Mitchell, as I am afraid that is Ignorance.
 

1051, you voted for Baxter and I take it, you did it because you believe in Baxter and not Mitchell. Baxter now supports Rivero and he has not changed in any of the things he stood for. In fact Baxter wanted a Civilian Review Board (so does Rivero). Baxter wanted a solid chain of command that does not change week to week (so does Rivero). Baxter wanted a review of all IA's done by Mitchell during the last few years (So does Rivero). Baxter wanted a larger Reserve force (so does Rivero). Baxter believes in properly manned substaions (so does Rivero). Baxter did not agree an any way on how Mitchell had runs the Sheriff's Office. Baxter believes this so much that he has placed his support fully behind Rivero.

Another reason to look at removing Mitchell that you might have not known. There are only three minorities on Mitchell's staff which are women and none are deputies. No Hispanic, African American or American Indian. None of those women support Mitchell for Sheriff. Rivera has resigned to be an RN. Esburg (who is a command correction officer) was removed from the jail and placed in a small room supervising only two deputies. The only one left is Marybeth and she is keeping to herself.

One of Mitchell's idea's: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
So if your shinning light (Baxter) was your choice for Sheriff, it only seems logically that if your shinning star supports Rivero, you should too.
 

11:28, that would only be accurate if there wasn't a quid pro quo for the support. Which everyone now sees. Rivero promised Baxter the undersheriff position, which is the reason Kip departed the campaign, in exchange for his support. We all know they aren't going to publicly admit it, doing so would be admitting a crime, but don't doubt for a minute that it happend. Baxter shopped the idea to Mitchell first and when he was turned down, went to Rivero. So as you can see, Rivero was Baxter's second choice.
 

Post 1152, hahahahah you have your facts so screwed up. You are so transparent(in a bad way)...Let us recount for you the exact words of what happened with Baxter and Mitchell. Baxter upon thinking about running went to both Mitchell and Rivero, Mitchell said this.."Don't run for office against me and I will give you stuff to do". Rivero welcomed him into the race, and wished him well. Mitchell was never Baxters choice and in fact early on that idea was written off. You will also notice that about mid way through the primary Baxter started really hitting Mitchell hard, thus as you could discern Baxter made an early choice that Mitchell was not the guy to hook up with. Now Baxter was never promised any position in the Rivero team during that timeline. Now after the Primary has been completed we know where Baxter is going. So you see my friend we have far to much information and far to much detail for you to try bantering this back and forth with us.

Kip was never promised any position, again your facts are lacking terribly, Kip was assuming the position, and that was based on his own desires to get 3 more years in for a 9% increase in his retirement pay. Therefore again and we hate to keep doing this to you, your facts are totally wrong and a very typical Mitchell/spin attempt. But it just does not work. You want to try something else??
 

11:52 kip left when the position he was promised was offered to baxter.
 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ollie drops the hammer on that corruption boy!!! When will you guys learn?? lol
 

12:23 ollie just because you say it does not make it so
 

Oh ok there ya go when given the exact facts, no it is not true just because you don't want to believe it. Your done.
 

8:53 was incorrect about Hoppy refusing to give up the Perdock blood test. The jury was told that 3 hours after the accident, Perdock's blood tested clean. However, you should also know that at least some of the jurors didn't trust any of the blood results, because they weren't given directly to another agency, but stored in a deputy's car trunk, then in a substation where SO's (including Perdock, who wasn't denied access) had keys to the building where the refrigerated evidence was located... Same thing with the sailboat lights...the motorboat was moved by none other than Perdock himself I believe, and he and his insurance agent were given access to it while it was being stored as evidence in the boat barn...with the sailboat.
 

Why didn't Mitchell take Perdock keys away?
Why didn't Mitchell lock Perdock out of RIM computer systeem?
Mitchell is one failed leader.
 

I hate to break the news to you, but Riveo and his wife got back together several months ago. Rivero moved out of his house and all three of them are living in his big house. If there was any flack between Rivero and his wife, I believe his vacation indicates different. He spent all last month just with his wife and son in LA and San Diego doing the Disneyland and San Diego Zoo stuff. So if it is window dressing, who the hell is he going to show off in LA since the voters are in Lake County? God you guys are idiots.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Talk about making Lake County Dizzy with a Spin, seem he took off all that last 8 months to be planning and purging his campaign and so apparently getting the Mrs to agree to go do some showmance for the cause is what has transpired and if all of Lake County cannot figure it out I just told You.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
while all the deputies have been out working their jobs, Rivero who wants to be their boss has taken the whole year off having Walt Disney Fun and making the world think he is campaigning, well apparently talking the Mrs in taking one for the Gipper is working the campagin.
I feel for the deputies who have covered shifts left because of Rivero going out while they do all the work to all of Us that is so lame.
 

12:50 oh ollie please!! please dont tell me Im done oh please.

you can give your opinion of facts that is your right, does not make it so. my orginal complaint is one many have with your narrow focus, if I agree with you I am one of the many enlighten citizens rising to your holy cause. If I dont see it your way I am ignorant, or a member of the GOBs subject to attack on all fronts and on any subject. so the label rabid rivero rabble fits and fits best on you.

BTW havent seen anything where Baxter has come out and endorsed rivero
 

FYI
apparently the Rivero Rejects have not the info on the ethnic make up of the LCSO
there are Hispanics
there are American Indians

and there are others that I will not include as their privacy is important and I am not going to out them
 

109
Mitchell approved it! and now you blame Rivero. Mitchell is a real lame.
 

sure Rivero hands in a paper saying I want to take a leave of absence to run my campaign agaist you, Denied, what planet did you land here from
 

Baxter just sits back and waits he is not going to play all his cards right now because he is smart, Old but smart
 

Maybe his wife can now help keep that dump of a property he lives on cleaned up. It's an eyesore.
 

Opps 8/16 @ 11:28 post. No hispanic deputies? What about Jose Zepeda?
 

Little ollie at 12:23, trying desperately to re-write history because the real facts don't put him or his cheating candidate in a good light. People who know the truth aren't buying it.
 

they don't like to count Zapeda as he is on Mitchell's endorcement page
 

didya see the posting the other night made me laugh said
"Baxter is so old he fart dust"
 

when is Lt. Hall returning to work?
 

1:09 Rivero taking an approved leave didn't hurt any SO deputies, it was all the deputies Mitchell fired AFTER Rivero took his leave that bogged down the rest of the patrol. You make it sound like it was Rivero's fault that Smith got drunk and crashed and that Ski shot the pot grower....sheesh!
 

Was there an official press release stating Ski is the deputy who shot the pot grower? Only asking because someone who responded to the scene thought it was someone from another agency who fired.
 

1:09 please stop your crying!!
 

2010 11:52 AM
So you believe that Baxter would make a poor Under Sheriff and Rivero would? Wow you got some balls (and no brains).

Well if Mitchell turned down the Under Sheriff position, just give him two more months and he will magically have an Under Sheriff. Like Mitchell just made an Elder Abuse Investigator out of a deputy who hasn't even been deputy for two years. Mitchell took to much slapping on that and put the most inexperienced deputy on the department into the position just to fill it.

Mitchell thought the Under Sheriff position is not needed? Didn't he also say for years that the department did not need lieutenants and captains? Mitchell doesn't know what the heck he wants.
 

1:09
If Lt. Hall returned to work, he could help right!!!!
If Mitchell had working sergeants, Lt. and Captains that would help right!!
So just like 415 said "stop your crying"
 

Jose Zepheda is not a sergeant, a lieutenant, a captain. Hell he's not even a FTO or a leader in anything? So once again, Mitchell HAS NO MINORITIES IN THE DEPUTIES CHAIN OF COMMAND.
 

Hall will never come back. He is the dirtiest cop on the department. Poster boy for GOB's. That is why when he makes arrests somehow almost all the time there is no other deputy on scene. He would hide in Finley or Upper Lake. Just ask his dope smoking friends from high school.
 

Zepeda could become one of those once he has been on the job he has only been with the dept a couple of years, so hang on to your green card
 

3:02 better spit cause you are up to your eyeball in crap, Rivero should stay out as he doesn't do anything to booster moral except to not be in the station they have learned to get along without him.
 

When Hall was a patrolman he seized more methamphetamine than the 8 man Narcotic Task Force seized. He did that for years. It was a real embarrassment for NTF.
 

Hall is one of the most respected supervisors in the department. Its to bad Mitchell has not assisted him with coming back from his injury. He's a real value to the department and the citizens of this county. :)
 

What are the two things perdick and mitchell did to prevent perdick from getting charged with murder . Claimed the lights on the sailboat were off and hid the fact he was boozing at konocti . The jury believes the lights were on and perdick was drinking at konocti and they do not trust the chain of evidence .
 

Why does Mitchell and Anita want Hall to retire?
 

Because someone came to his house and tried to interview him about Mitchell.
 

Excellent folks the corruption supporters came to play and you guys have just been crushing them, keep it, remember the copy cat site is dead, so they must come here to communicate otherwise they are playing catch with each other.
 

Was there an official press release stating Ski is the deputy who shot the pot grower? Only asking because someone who responded to the scene thought it was someone from another agency who fired.

Good try on attempting to protect the golden boy Ski. We all know he was the shooter and how typical of you. Papa Rod must be proud that you learned his tricks - when in trouble point the finger elswhere, in this case blame the shooter on another agency. Yeah that's the story and we're sticking with it.
 

11:57 - Once again you are misinformed. Baxter never shopped around with either a looking for a job. He ran for office on his own platform not Mitchell or Rivero's. He did not make it beyond the primary but rather then whine and attack his opponents he congratulated both and offered his council. He asked his supporters to listen to what each candidate had to say and make up their own mind who they feel is the best person for the job. He told them that they do not need him to make up their own minds for them. He has met with both candidates at their request, answered questions, discussed the current race and asked them to consider the ideas he has presented in his own campaign suggesting they were good sound management tools, which would work for any department.

He came out publically making that statement. He also confirmed a rumor that Rivero had asked him to "consider" the Under Sheriff position if he were elected to sheriff in November. His answer is that he would consider it if the position were approved by the BOS and offered one day but he acknowledged the fact that at this time there was no such position at the LCSO. He made a point of saying that neither Mitchell or Rivero had offered him any position or special favors for his support then went on to wish them both luck and asked that the personal attacks by both stop and suggested they each just stick to the issues.

At the time he said he was not supporting or endorsing any one candidate at that time. He wanted to wait and listen to both candidates to hear what they had to say and give both a fair opportunity to state their position.

Now that over two months have passed since that statement and the campaigns are in full swing I don't know where he stands. I have not heard or seen him come out and endorse either candidate although he has been seen at River's campaign kick off last week doing exactly what he said he would, listening to their ideas. I don't know if he's been to a Mitchell function yet but he probably will.

When the statement was published in the LCN Record-Bee and the Outlook he has received positive comments on the Blogs saying it was a fair and reasonable statement playing no favorites and he was a class person. I agree with that appraisal and I look forward to seeing whom he will come out and support in November.

I have noticed that Mitchell does not seem to have changed his platform, which remains the same relying on his past accomplishments and programs. Rivero has come out with many new ideas and programs he says he would like to admit. Many of these were listed on Baxter's web site and offered to both candidates. Only Rivero seems to have taken the time to consider them.

The backbiting and attacks by the candidates seem to have slacked off since the primary however you read the blogs and you see people are still involved in the insults and attacks for their candidate. I've noticed a lot of mud slinging and what appear to be false statements being made with little or no evidence so dirty politics is alive and well in some quarters.
 

Some people theorized that Rivero was courting Baxter to gain the vote of people who supported him. This was stated like it's a bad or underhanded thing. I see it as a wise move since they will vote for one of them so why not go out and ask for their vote first. It looks like Rivero got right on that and Mitchell remains silent hoping these people will swing in his direction. Time will tell.

I am 50 years old, white and born and raised in southern California. Like many people I moved my family to Lake County, ten years ago because we liked the area with its beauty, recreational activities and the small town atmosphere. I do not regret doing so and I want to be a good citizen and give back something to our community. I've tried to follow the Sheriff and DA's races in the news and on the Blogs especially since the tragic boat accident came out in the news. I voted for Baxter considering him the most qualified experienced mature and reasonable of the three and I still feel that way. When he lost his bid in the primary I've tried to do just what he suggested, look, listen and make an informed choice. Right now I'm swinging toward Rivero because he has suggested new ideas and a willingness to work with us where Mitchell seems to be riding on his past record. I will look forward to seeing whom Baxter will actually come out and support and I value his experience and judgment when it comes to evaluating the two candidates.

These are the facts as I see them stated in the press. I see no attempt to buy anyone off for votes but I do see smart politics and the realization by Rivero that he can't do everything by himself and he needs a person with good sound judgment to help in reorganizing and modernizing the Sheriff's Office we have today. To those local pundits I suggest you get your facts straight before making statements that are untrue or not substantiated.

Still open but swing to Rivero.
 

It was Ski and he is on official IA leave, and funny enough why is it when all of us heard about the shooting we all guessed the name would be Ski when we saw Kiss ass Martin was not going to release the name we went and go the name, and not to our surprise it was Ski, then the rebuttal on Mitchell's web site about Ski gets taken down, and they say it is under construction...ha ha ha ha Ya right! Oh we know it is Ski and we know why.
 

My point exactly. Hall's big meth arrests happens only when he is alone. I agree NTF was made a fool, but that was from the entire SED not Hall by himself. In fact, pull up RIMS and you will be surprised to see "Morshed" had the most arrests. The largest arrest that unit did was when they worked together.
 

James Lucarotti, that was a great post and very well written thanks for posting it on the site and the citizens all appreciate your input and ideas you put forth. Well said, thanks for posting here and please continue to give us your ideas. I to came from Southern California 9 years ago, send an e-mail to sheriffmitchellwatch@gmail.com and we can trade story's, and I will be happy to give you more insight and ideas on the upcoming election. Thanks again for posting.
 

Respected supervisors? That's a laugh. Ask Carla and Santor at LPD who their entire shift shut down from Hall's arrest stat's badgering.
 

For those who were not at Rivero's party at KVC, Baxter was there to support Rivero and made no attempts to hide that. In fact he stood with Rivero for a while and than spoke with numerous persons about his support.
 

Hello Deputy 2:18 "Baxter is so old he fart dust"

I guess I'm old and fart dust myself. One day you'll be old and fart dust, I wonder if that will make you stupid or incompetant? That guy has been a Cop for close to 40 yrs and comes from a well thought of department. Look at his persopnal endorsements, he is obviously very weel respected by those who know him. I dout they think he farts dust.

We need a guy with experience and good ideas and someone who is out to make changes to make things work better. He's all for the deputies but he's also a no nonsense guy who still has a great sense of humor.

Go back to Rod, Deputy and tell him he would have done well to have had an old fart like this and he may not be where is is right now. I hope Rivero does win and Mitchell gets the boot and I hope Baxter is willing to come in and share his experience, you need it.
 

Rivero never offered Baxter a job he asked him to consider it. That doesnt sound like a promise or buy off to me. Mitchell should have been smart enopugh to do the same thing.
 

Why do U get on this guy ski for shooting a dope dealer? Hes just doing his job and the guy pulled a gun on him. I wud shoot him to.
 

Why is it that Mitchell and his staff seem to go out of their way to attack anyone they don't agree with or who thinks they are wrong? I thought they were supposed to be public servants and would get in trouble for being rude to citizens. I can understand the two guys fighting between each other but these guys are seeming to go out for blood attacking everyone who says they wont vote forhim. He lost my vote by these antics and I usually try not to rock a boat.
 

I read what Martin said in the paper and it was a little too flowery and evasive for me. I back the deputy sheriffs who have a hard job and i dont want to see any of them get hurt but Martin was just to glib and cute for me. With all that's been going in there why don't they post whats really going on witout adding all the fluff. It sounds like the sheriff is using that for politics not for news.

God bless our officers but i dont like Mitchell.
 

How come Mitchell had his campain thing at some guys house and not open to all of us. Who is this guy and whats he get. i want to hear the sheriff talk to. where is he.
 

As we have said for many many months, we are doing this work for the good officers that are trapped in the Mitchell regime, when Mitchell and his GOB's are gone we will be able to promote our county and its good name again, the current good cops will be able to thrive and grow, and with Frank running the show good cops will join the force.
 

Rod's not going to come out in public and talk where someone can ask him a question he can't or doesn't want answer like why did you ruin my family. He's been hiding out since the election and I don't think he's going to make any speaches when he has nothing to say.

If you didn't get to Riveros talk at the casino dont forget to listen to the interview on KPFZ. It should be on soon and he has some interesting things to say. I was impressed by what I heard and I hope he keeps it up. I think hes going to make a good Sheriff and put a stop to all the arrests and firings and scandels Mitchell has done. I dont want to pay my tax money for a suit I want it to go to giving us officers in the street who look out for me.
 

Olie how are you doing to get rid of the GOBs if they havent done anything but talk stuped.
 

I herd the guy casll Mitchell on the radio and say he ruined his family and took his wife. It did sound like Gerry Springre and you could here him squirming. Im glad it wasnt me sitting in his seat. Goes to show you what goes around comes around. I dont think he ever said he was sorry.
 

Im an old fart to and Im not a dumb bell. You guys can kiss my butt and Ill show you how much dust I can blow out. You punk kids need a spanken and shudnt be wearing a badge. Go home and tell your Daddy you think hes dumb because he's old. He's probably sorry the way you turned out. Its good to be a senior and I've learned one hell of a lots in my time that you have yet to learn.
 

I guess the Mitchell hate gang got a call and had to go out of the office.
 

I keep asking Mitchell supporters why they think he is go great especially with the things he's done to fellow deputies and to his office. No answer just more BS and name calling. We have all see his record and the many questionable decisions he makes so what's so good about him?

You hate Rivero because he has worked around you and seen first hand what you do and how you do it and he doesn't like it. From what I read I don't like it either and neither does anyone else. Shape up gang and do your job right. We want to support you but with Mitchell you are all a lost cause. Im goint to Rivero.
 

Here's a thought: who wants to bet that Ski's (alleged) IA will include his blood test that surely must have been taken after the shooting. I believe that is standard proceedure in any officer involved death, at least it is in other agencys. Anyway, if they do include that blood test into the IA then I believe it probably becomes a "personnel issue" and is not allowed to be disclosed. This is most likely the only way they can protect Ski and hide his alleged steroid use. Does anyone know if any other agency besides the sheriff's office had Ski give blood maybe BNE, DOJ or god forbid - Hopkin's office? I smell cover-up - not on the shooting itself but the fact that Ski may have had drugs in his system that may not have been prescribed. Guess we'll see soon enough.
 

Can you just imagine Mitchell hiding in his office reading this Blog and knowing that after 16 years most people hate him and want to see him kicked out on his ear? He has no credibility or respect from the community that's he supposedly was sorn to serve. He's made a mess of his office and a public spectical of himself and his family. It's no wonder this guy is suffering major depression and eating anti depressants like candy. I am wondering if those anti depressents he takes don't get counteracted by the diet pills. The fat pills obviously don't seem to be working and if the AD's were working he wouldn't be hiding out behind closed doors then disappear at noon for the rest of the day.
 

Not all LE agencies take a blood sample after an OIS unless there is some question as to their being under the influence. Some rely on objective symptoms or the lack of before deciding about a BA. Others take blood as SOP. Who knows about LCSO they probably give the Cop a shot to mellow out.
 

4;49 Your right, he did identify that Carla and Santor were way below the average in work performance. Like any good supervisor he addressed it with them and Carla raised her level and Santor went to LPD where very
little proactive enforcement is required. I remember entire shifts that you wouldn't even know those two were working, unless they got dispatched to something. Now you can hear Carla out looking for crimminals when she working and that's what every citizen expects. Hall is a teacher and the polar opposite of some other nazi supervisors like Beland also known in the Berryessa area as "Helmet".
 

Post 742 we are with you and we believe it is disgusting not only the Mitchell's regime has treated the seniors in this county, but we are disgusted at how society has a whole has thrown away the respect and dignity that we once held our older population in. It used to be that grey hair and wrinkles were a sign of wisdom and through the years of experience they were to be respected and cared for. The grandmother and grandfather were the ones the younger kids went to for advice and counsel, now society disparages these seniors, and it is a shame, thanks for posting and you have our support.
 

8:37 - You make an excellent point but in this sheriff's office a total lack or respect for the community especially lower income people including senior citizens. This attitude comes directly from the top with Mitchell himself so why would we be surprised that his deputies follow suit. Go to any of our Senior Centers throughout the county at lunch time and you'll get an ear full. So many people who once voted for him and disappointed and angry at his arrogant user attitude and they see right through his phoney smile and slithering around back patting.

Of course we are old fools who don't have brains evough to make our own decisions since we are to busy farting dust. Thank the Lord we have men like Rod Mitchell to do our thinking for us and tell us what we want and need. I believe the seniors are lost to Mitchell and his mean spirited deputies who constantly spout hate for Rivero are just demonstrating what they think of us.
 

4:49 you deputies spend your time eating your own because they don't get along with Mitchell or who you consider to be lesser Cops when compared to yourselves. The people you attack have absolutely nothing to do with this sheriff's race and just serve to vaslidate the point that Mitchell has failed in his duty to train, supervise and develop his subordinates.

I laughed at your reference "like any good supervisor he addressed" an issue needing correction. Good for him but this is just what Mitchell does not do. Remember if you see untrained supervisors who are not able to do their job that's the fault of their boss who has failed to provide proper training and supervision.

I'm glad to see you have identified a good supervisor but from what we hear that man is in the minority. I hope Mitchell doesn't find out he's a good supervisor or he'll become a threat to be destroyed. When you describe Nazi supervisors it brings to mind Mitchell himself and again if you have a deficient supervisor that's the bosses fault.

You people must be closit Rivero supporters who constantly sing Mitchell's prainses while pointing out in the same line what a jerk he has become. Perhaops that's a good ploy. It help Rivero and shows Mitchell's true self.
 

What's the address of Mitchell's "Hate Rivero" blog? I'll bet that's a hoot to read.
 

Attention all Gray Panthers, Senion Citizens and old farts blowing dust our of their kazoo? Rise up and be heard. Tell your friends, family and neighbors what Rod Mitchell and his thugs really think about us. March together and run this uppity whipper snapper out of the county and replace him with someone who shows respect and sensitivity to everyone including us.
 

Past my bed time. Being old and foolish I need my rest to I'll have strength enough to think for myself in the morning if I don't forget who I am. Goodnight Lake County.
 

LOL post 915, we love you guys and we love the seniors, you know may be it is good that they think they can just roll over the "old farts" because it is the old farts who get out and vote, any and every stat there is shows that it is the seniors who always go out and vote, back when the "old farts" were growing up, voting was seen as an obligation, not a right, although we know we have a right to vote, and that includes all colors ages and creeds, the seniors also see it as an obligation, we have lost that concept many years ago, this is why we see such a small percentage of the 18 to 25 age group voting. Thanks for posting and please keep contributing your levity is great and your comments are even better!!
 

Last night one of the mitchell supporters posted that the seniors in the county were naive and being bullied into voting for Rivero. This was the same post that said hispanics didnt understand local politics. As promised I directed my hispanic senior citizen mother to the Blog. Boy was she pissed I'm sure she's getting the word out as we speak. I was raised to respect my elders and to say things like someone is so old they fart dust is rude and disrespecful.
 

Thanks 932 and I will tell you what you get the seniors pissed off and you just made a big mistake, I hope the elders in our community get their own movement and word of mouth going and really turn on the pressure on this out of control organization run by Mitchell.There could be nothing better for this county then to have the power of the seniors in this county raise the roof, and let Mitchell and the rest know that they pissed them off! To all the seniors out there if you need the assistance of Lovelace in any way please let us know, either on this thread or send an e-mail to sheriffmitchellwatch@gmail.com

You would at least thought they would eliminate his membership. hmmmmmmm

9:32, that was a classic "Moby" style post. Probably from one of the "founders" or frequent flyers on this blog.
 

Yeah your right 1053 I was just trying to be nice.
 

Sorry 1101 wrong again. I am not a founder or a frequent flyer just an informed registered voter who happens to be hispanic. I'm sure you wish it was'nt so but it is what it is and theres nothing you can do about it. My post was 100% accurate and true.
 

11:32, I don't think I'm wrong, perhaps you misunderstood my comment. I wasn't talking about your post, I was commenting on the post you were referring to. Too many of the posters here are fraudulent, made by the people who frequent this blog anonymously to make Sheriff Mitchell's supporters look bad. It's a tactic as old as blogging, and painfully obvious to anyone who cares to check it out. So in other words, the post degrading seniors was probably made by a rivero supporter in the guise of Sheriff Mitchell supporter.
 

Should have read, "Much of the "information" here is inaccurate or lies." Points off for proofreading.
 

11:23 hold on to that dream because come November our nightmare will be over. Vote Rivero for a postive change and dragging the GOB system out for good
 

Mitchell should just retire, forget getting reelected. That's not going to happen. Mitchell will loses and his ego will be hurt. But Mitchell will blame everyone else, because that's what he does best.

No Mitchell shouldn't retire, I want to see his ego hurt.
 

Rod, did you take your meds this morning?
 

Mitchell does not have enough time to take a service retirement. He lacks at least four years before he can collect it.

I predict Mitchell will retire as soon as he gets the election results and finds out he's out of office and this is how he'll do it. He'll walk out of his office and accidently trip over the body of one of those he's thrown under the bus and get injured. Then he'll milk this for a year while he goes to his doctor, a GOB himself who will say he can't work. He'll apply for a service connected disability retirement which is tax free and out he goes still laughing at the poor tax payers that he's made a career our of shafting.
 

If perdick was boozing at Konocti and the lights were on than perdick murdered Lynn Thorton . The Bos needs to protect the county and prosecute the guilty if not for any other reason than to prevent their names being added to the defendant list .
 

When will Mitchell and Rivero debate? We have some questions for Mitchell.
 

Mitchell may just go for a stress retirement caused by the pressures of his job and his realization that so many people don't like him. He's already started laying the ground work and gone to a shrink for his anti depressants. The down side to that is he wouldn't be able to carry a gun to protect himself from angry husbands.
 

7:38 Are you out of your mind Mitchell won't debate Rivero . Way to many issue he can not talk about . Rodney in your report to the DOJ you fail to mention the nine witnesses that saw the lights to the sailboat on or the fact perdick was boozing at konocti .
 

Mitchell won't need a gun, he believes he's superman ! an if Mitchell's taking anti-depressant medication, why is he driving a County car and carrying a gun? maybe Mitchell needs start smoking some pot.
 

Good morning Lake County. We are one day closer to Mitchell and Hopkins leaving office and the beginning of change to a system of law enforcement which is fair and follows the rules.

It looks like the morons are sleeping in this morning recovering from a hard weekend of having their noses rubbed in Mitchell's failures. (I know you thought I was going to say "S**t" but I won't.

Over the weekend the Mitchell supporters came on here in shifts spouting the same old thing, making up rumors and trying to insult anyone who does't see things there way and there are a lot of us. Each time they were quickly slapped down by people who are informed and people who will not roll over for their kind of intimidation. The movement to remove Mitchell just gets stronger by the day.

Remember this the election can still be lost so there is much work to be done. Go out and tell your family, friends and neighbors and convince them that Mitchell is not the right choice. Point out his failures and questionable activities and there are pleanty. Mitchell must go and we need a sheriff who will start over and build a new Sheriff's Department that we can all trust and be proud of. One that is dedicated to work for the community and not for themselves.
