It's the Mitchell Camp's & DSA's way of being Anonymous.
 

I read the one page paid political advertisement supporting Rodney Mitchell in the Record-Bee. I'm amazed but sadly not surprised he and his group have stooped to such a dirty campaign tactic and publicly spreading untruths. So far their attacks have been through his anonymous supporters accusing Rivero of everything from a criminal to a psychopath. This is exactly the type of campaigning that has soured me on Rodney Mitchell.

Sheriff Mitchell has no interest in addressing the issues in this campaign or ways of improving his own office. It is clear he would much rather publicly spread rumors in attacking his opponent. I do hope our community can see through his corrupt political practices and are as disgusted as I am.
 

Troy did present and excellent question. I hope he asks that same question of Mitchell and his supporters.
 

I don't recall Rivero saying anything about suing. The only place I heard that is from the Mitchell supporters who throw things out then pick it up and run with their comments.

This attitude of these Mitchell supporters some of whom are LCSO Deputies is very disturbing and as I see it represents the attitude of Mitchell himself. I do not want a law enforcement official or officers who feel they can make such reckless accusations or feel the dirty, name calling politics is the way to go. I question the integrety of the people spreadinmg this.

Come on Mitchell and Rivero, get to the issues and outline your plans and stop the m,ug slinging. It just makes people angry at the level people will stoop to get elected. The more of this I hear the more I feel there is sometning to the talk of public corruption.
 

Troy 8:30 - you did publicly endorse Kip Ringen who you praised as a co-worker in the SO. Now that is your right and i respect that but be accurate. Your questions and observations are very good and I'd like to hear them addressed by the two candidates not a bunch of Deputies pitching for Mitchell.
 

Ok I've had it, the full page ad I just saw in the Bee will swing my vote to Mitchell. I was a Baxter voter leaning toward Rivero until this morning. Can someone tell me how to send a donation to Mitchell.
 

I'm looking into the future so whoever gets elected, Mitchell or Rivero, their performance needs to be impeccable. If not we'll see a new challenger and our real life soap opera will continue.

I talked to a young mother at the fair last night and I'm still upset by what she shared with me. This had to do with Mitchell and what he apparently did and therefore causing a very negative effect on her life and that of her daughter.

I’m upset too by Rivero’s past and present performance. Some key people on his team have yet to discover the true man behind the candidate they so trustingly support.

I’ve been a Mitchell supporter but after the recent arrest of Tom Carter I find myself struggling to maintain support. I’ll never vote for Rivero so now what do I do?
 

Just take your donation from your left hand and put it in your right hand Rod.
 

Anyone who is foolish enough to take political accusations posted on a paid political add as fact needs to have their heads examined. The add is nothing more then more smoke and hot air as well as a political hit piece aimed at their opponent. It's so easy to do the spin but they can't even stick to the true facts.

If what the add says about Rivero is true then why did Rod Mitchell hire him in the first place. The information is available as public record and certainly available to a trained background investigator. Is this true that Mitchell hires criminals to be his deputies? What about the other deputies? Do they have a criminal record wich was ignored? I seriously doubt it and if it were true then Mitchell himself has surrounded himself with criminals and has failed in his duty to the community.

Mitchell, answer the many questions about your own activities and history. Answer questions about your man agement of the office and let Rivero answer for himself.

I too voted for Baxter and I saw him as the most qualified and capable person to reorganize that office. He didn't spend his time attacking his opponents and spreading rumors. He merely stated he disagreed with both of his opponents in their management styles. Mitchell and Rivero need to do the same before they anger even more people. We are tired of the pettyness being displayed here.

Now going into the November election we have but two choices, Mitchell or Rivero. I will not vote for a man who feels he must stoop to mud slinging to get elected. I will be voting for Rivero and hoping for the best.
 

Criminals support criminals, well said however I think the phrase should be applied to the Mitchell camp.
 

*****Criminals support Criminals*****

Don't forget what happened the last time you told Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Six Voters that *****Criminals support Criminals*****
Apparently you have a short memory.
Now that you are saying that the Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Six Plus voters are still *****Criminals support Criminals*****
Lets see who has the better memory come November.
I'm betting that the Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Six Plus Voters that voted for Change are not *****Criminals support Criminals*****
Besides since when is it a Criminal offense to vote for Change?
 

I agree 1:01 but don't just take the word of Mitchell's paid political add. Run his record yourself or call him and talk to him. Find out what the record actually shows not what they say it shows. They change words very easily to make things sound like something they aren't. I did run it and I saw no convictions. This can happen to any of us.

Now if you are saying this thinking you are clever creating doubt then you make yourself look foolish. Get the facts for yourself not from one side or the other who have a special interest in this.
 

Hey 910
Mitchell knows, and I know. I will say something well before the election. Mitchell should come clean first. Let's not forget the Lake Co. Incident as well!! Remember my little black book Mitchell!!
 

Ok so even though we shouldn't help out the corruption supporters here is a bit of legal advice we have for you. If you contributed to the ad, but did not know, and that is really did not know what the ad was, you are pretty safe at this point. However if in anyway you assisted in the writing of the ad and contributing information, you have a serious problem, and should at this point at least be thinking about trying to cover your ass. However under oath you and others will be asked for the names of the creators and those who decided what information to put in the ad. You will not be able to eliminate all individuals from prosecution as someone had to create it, and those that paid for it will be top of the list of course. The Record Bee will as was said be alright, and the statue for libel filing against a newspaper is 20 days, a very short period of time. Libel filings in California are to be done within 6 months. Now just to help you out some of the criteria, are that any aspect of what you distributed is not true, and you distributed it to a third part via print or recording are quilty of libel. The other critical aspect of Libel which you that created the ad hit right on the mark, is professing the truth of it, in other words when you distribute in print(The third party by the way is the public) and indicate strongly enough that what you are saying is 100% total truth, you have really set yourself up for heavy legal penalties. So if you participated in any manner the creation of the ad, you should really start thinking about who the fall guy or guys are going to be and who is going to get off the hook. Now as far as destroying the computer files and such where the ad was created, that sorry will not do you any-good the fact legally is the ad was created and if all decide to say "Mickey did it" all will be held responsible. Just thought we would help you out a bit.
 

8:16 You are a joke. Bruce and those coordinating this site are not the ones posting their thoughts. It's the concerned people of Lake County posting. I'm sure you Mitchell people don't give a hoot what the people are thinging, which you've proven many times. I suspect the people don't care about your opinion on Mitchell. His history and corrupt practices speak for themselves. All you do is make it easier for us to see through his lies.
 

Nice post Ollie that does hit the nail on the old head doesn't it!!! Are you sure they did not list LCN the RB and Mitchell next to those definitions? LOL
 

I see the cut and past gang are at it again. It's nice to see them get the boot right away so we don't have to wade through their tripe to read what people are thinking.
 

By the way 823 you are responding to a cut and paster, he has been pasting that same line for several days now, which is why he gets removed each time, we thank you for your support and setting again the dimwit straight, of course he will repost his same line again, we think someone wrote it for him and now he has to use it until someone else writes him another one.
 

Go out today and talk to as many people as you can. Conmvince them of the importance of this sheriff's election and suggest they look at the two candidates. I'm sure they will see Rivero is the right man for the job at this time and Mitchell's record has sealed his doom. Try to talk to at least three people every day, more if you can. We can't afford complacency and people who sit back and vote without being informed. Worse yet we can't afford people who do not vote so encourage them to register and exercise their rights and obligation as Americans.
 

It does get them upset post 825 and as we have told them over and over, if they can post intellectual comments, and hold their own with the citizens on this site, their posts can stay up. We have asked them over and over to defend their choice of sheriff in Mitchell but they cannot, and simply refuse to take us on in an intellectual conversation. Very sad.
 

Ollie post 758, right on! Man that is scary that is a perfect description of what we have going on right now in our county. Thanks!
 

I want to hear the straight hard hitting questions the man said he asked Mitchell and Mitchell's answers. Hell, if he managed to get a straight and truthful answer out of Mitchell he's doing something no one else can.
 

This is not the Jerry Springer show, I'm not going to answer that question. It's confidential between your wife and I. I know the law, I'm the sheriff and I watch Springer every day in my office on your dime. Vote for me, I'm a great guy.
 

The citizens are watching corruption supporters, this is the place to be, let's do it defend your man Mitchell. Let's debate his leadership skills, has people skills, his morals, as you can see citizens, this is not an easy thing for the Mitchell supporters to do. But with great anticipation do we always wait for an intelligent one to come on board, and not try to bring Rivero down to Mitchell's level but to try and bring Mitchell up to Rivero's level. We continue to wait. We do invite you to read the excellent Bio on Frank Rivero which is on this website Rivero for Lake County sheriff, and also posted on the Manifest at www.lakecountymanifest.com

The Manifest
 

Sixteen years of promised kept and hart hitting law enforcement. Just look at my record, the one I put on my web site not the real one. I have the experience as a politician not the other guy. I have all the special people and Lake County's old timers behind me. I'll give everyone a CCW permit. Why just last week I issued one to a seven year old boy. I'm misunderstood and there are people out there trying to make me look like a fool and a lyar. That's right that dirty old Bruce guy spins my lies and makes it look like I'm lying then people think I'm a lyar. He lies, they lye, everyone is lying and I can't even keep my own lies straight anymore. No comment, its a personnel issue and confidential. Rodney K. Mitchell, a men you can trust with your wife.
 

Hey Mitchell have you ever done business with Gary Buchholz? Weren't you his boss? Just doesn't seem ethical for a boss and employee to do a real estate deal together.
 

So what ever happened to the 50 Cal gun and ammunition that was used to blow holes in the metal plate at the shooting range? You know the illegal weapons that were used with Mitchell's full knowledge. Someone know where that metal plate is at now?
 

Is the 50 cal weapon the issue or just one more sign of Mitchell's management and lack or leadership? This is the way he runs his department.
 

Here is a recent comment concerning local media and their relationship to the citizens who are suppose to be in charge. Notice the continued use of the word elitist, gee where did we hear that before, oh that's right the Lovelace group has been calling out the RB and LCN (although the LCN has now been almost totally marginalized) for this very thing. This quote is from a media watch dog group in California.


Maybe "citizens" is the wrong word. Citizens govern themselves. Golden State elites seem to be turning Californians into subjects.

On to the news media elites. Democracy itself is under attack in California, and what are the supposed watchdogs of freedom, the free press, doing about it? When they're not applauding, they're strategically averting their eyes. (wow description of RB and LCN or what1)
 

842AM
The Grand jury should be looking into it, an some other deals Mitchell and Buchholz has with a group of investors. Why do you think Garzoli and Perdock stayed on the payroll so long? investors together, stays together.
 

Send those e-mails to Gary and Mandy today, flood their e-mail and voice your dissatisfaction with their fascist ways. I just sent three one to Gary one to Mandy, and one to the staunch Mitchell supporter Hammers everyone please take a few moments and follow the lead of Ollie, look at post 739 and take the few minutes to send off an e-mail here are the addresses:

mfeder@record-bee.com

gdickson@record-bee.com

chammers@record-bee.com
 

Who appoints the Grand Jury? A Superior Court Judge supposedly draws names from a hat of those registered voters who have expressed an interest in serving. If you think that's not a fix I'll kiss your kazoo. You know they'll find just the right people.

I've been told by several people who have served on the Grand Jury that their power is minimal at best and they are kept from investigating the things that need to be looked into, like corruption.

Investigating political corruption and corruption by public officials should be the job of the DA. Our DA wants nothing to do with it. Most DA's in California have their own public corruption units and go after the crooks. The DA in LA Steve Cooley who is now running for Ca. Attorney General has put a number of these people in prison. That's what is needed in Lake Co.
 

I'm still very suspicious about the $10K political donation given by a Lowerlake contractor to Rodney Mitchell. That seems like a lot of money for a local campaign. No one could lioke Rod that much and I don't think the price of CCW permits has gone up that high. What is this person expecting to get from Mitchell in return for his $10K? Just one of many questionable things Mitchell is involved in.
 

What is the cost of placing a full page political advertisment in the Record-Bee? I suspect it coses quite a bit and it's not tax deductable. Are the friends of Sheriff Mitchell who claimed responsibility a registered political action group? You know that's the law.
 

How many good people reposing in our local Cemeteries has Rodney Mitchell and his gang registered to vote?
 

The Record-Bee took the add because it means money in the coffers. That's why they are in business not to publish the news. It's money and Mitchell is willing to say and pay anything to get elected. Truth or fair practices have nothing to do with Mitchell politics.
 

I look forward to the day Rodney Mitchell skulks out the back door of his former office saying, You won't have Rod Mitchell to kick around anymore." What a great day that will be.

I wonder how many of his gang mem,bers will be there to drive him home and to give him a going away party? Hell, I'll pay to sponsor a going away party for that jerk.
 

Who delivered the newspaper add to the Record Bee and how was it paid for? What friends created the add and supposedly support it? Why are their names not included in the post? Intentional ommission is equal to deception.
 

Hey 858 and 901
that can be a question for Mr. Anderson and Mr. Rhoades? If 842 is correct it appears to be a conflict of interest.
 

Besides being a Safeway box boy what can Mitchell do when he's booted out of office? Will his pal the Mendo Sheriff hire him as a deputy. Probably not, no experience. Will he bring Rod in as a consultant in leadership and management of a Sheriff's Office? Probably not, again no experience.
 

I suspect bth Anderson and Rhodes will duck such a hot question before the election. I'm hoping that after the election whoever wins will take a serious look at what's been going on in Mitchell's office. That place is in serious need of an enema. Good bye Rod, flush.
 

They may have no choice if the new AG is interested in corruption by public officials. Rod you might think about packing your tooth brush, your parole officer hasn't even been born yet.
 

If Rod goes to the joint will Mrs. Rod get free health care from the state too or is she just SOL?
 

Look at the bright side Rodney, you'll lose weight fast eating prison meals and running all the time.
 

You can start your own prison gang Rod just as you've done at the LCSO. It wouldn't sur[rise me to see several of your close supporters in there with you so you have a head start. You can call them Rod's Rascals and take over the license plate stamping business.
 

Come on Clint, yo momma read it to you and its all not true.
 

Clint, it's Monday morning, you are up early. Getting ready to go job hunting?
 

The rate for posting that ad in the Bee was 1,404 dollars!!!! Now here is a requirement that is listed on the Record Bee rate sheet. This is an absolute requirement for political ads: Taken directly from the RB rate sheet, this is going to blow your mind, we suggest you send further e-mails asking why this requirement was not met!


POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS
All political advertising will be charged at highest earned rate and
must be paid in advance. “SIGNATURE AND INFORMATION MUST APPEAR WITHIN THE AD.

Did anyone see a signature and information, with the exception of friends and neighbors?

Sending this off to Dixon, Mandy and Hammers, let's see if they have an answer to this one!!
 

So is that ad and those words linked to Rob Brown as yet?
 

There sure is a lot of concern over the R-B ad considering all the talk about how it will backfire and only hurt Mitchell.
 

I believe that Mr. Anderson or Mr. Rhodes would investigate the Mitchell conflict of interests and cover-ups. Just because someone wins the election does mean they can't be recalled by the voters. However wins the D.A. race, better keep in touch with voters and keep a close eye on corruption this time around. A clear message is being sent out to all elected offices.
 

DEBATE
Lowerlake Community Action Group Wed Sept. 8th 6-8 at LowerLake Park.

Must be true it's on Rivero's website, folks.
 

Message just sent to Dixon, Hammers, and Mandy.

Can you also explain why this criteria which you post on your rate sheet was not met, the friends and neighbor line on the ad doesn't quite seem to stack up to signature and information requirements. Is there some legitimate reason for this, not spin, but truthful reason? This is not looking real good folks, and we are growing quite concerned about the role your newspaper is playing in these elections. We have been a great assistance to you in marginalizing LCN, we believe you can have a role to play in these elections, but this is not the way to do it, Please include an answer to this question when you respond to the public as to your actions on ad approvals.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS

All political advertising will be charged at highest earned rate and must be paid in advance. “

signature and information must appear within the ad.
 

If it is true then no lawsuit will fly.
 

Of course there is 926 those of a more intellectual acumen, understand fascism and the need for clear and transparent reporting in the media. The issues we are discussing are not associated with the content of the Ad, that is a no brainer, and a useless diatribe and disparaging a political opponent, that is see through and is not the issue, it is the actions of the RB and the untoward and ill-advised ad decisions. We are sure that as you look at the last set of comments you must agree that our line of thought is spot on. If you do not then you are yet to reach a level of intellectual competence that would allow you to engage in meaningful conversation with us.
 

Corruption supporters you must post content, actual content, can you defend the RB at this point with what has been presented? Can you defend Mitchell with his record of performance? You see you have no credibility as you seem only to be able to post odd and strange attempts at bringing Rivero down to Mitchell's level. Let's try this, try putting up a comment without using the name Rivero. Try to focus on your boy Mitchell and your defense of him. Let's see how that works.
 

Come on corruption supporters, we know you don't like having posts removed but you must focus, focus, focus, on this basic concept defend your boy Mitchell, you have seen the list of his leadership skills, you cannot continue to attack Rivero, you cannot bring him down to Mitchell's level, try to make a post without using the name Rivero, and defend the actions of Mi.tchell. It is amazing that we have been asking this for months and not a single Mitchell supporter can do it..Stunning really
 

Yes I can defend the Bee it was a truthfull ad backed up with facts and paid for by concerned people that know the crap spread by your group af losers. Great job Bee
 

Well post 946 you have just answered the question of intellectual acumen, or in your case the lack of!! LOL
 

But no defense of Mitchell, hard to do isn't it!! ;-)
 

Maybe when Mitchell gets to prison, sweet Rodney can start his own wine company. Prison made pruno "Sweet Rodney's private reserve wine". sold only at prison commissaries!!!
 

Sorry using the terms the peeper is not what we are asking you. Come try to act as if you are communicating with sharp intellectual people. Try, try to defend Mitchell, pretty tough to do isn't it!
 

Nope that wasn't it, come on..lol we are really on the floor here, watching you with these weak childish posts. Come on show us you have some intellect. Defend your boy!!!
 

LOL Ollie you are killing me, keep hammering these idiots, they really can't do it can they!!
 

Amazing not a single defense of Mitchell...LOL
 

Good enough.
 

Oh Corruption boys this is going to be a sweet sweet week for the Rivero campaign, we know you don't know why, but just keep your eyes peeled, take the blinders off, and you will soon see the error of your ways.. This is going to be fun.
 

After hearing how much good the ad was going to do Rivero I would suspect that maybe Lovelace paid for it.
 

Maybe I am a dunce but their was no boat patrol on duty at the time of the fatality either. As a matter of fact, the on call boat patrol deputy was not available, at least by phone. Dispatch had the fair security hunt him down. Now, he is on call which means he has to be readily available and able to be contacted, by cell phone or whatever means. Being at the fair is not the problem. Not being NOT able to reach him is. Two people died on the lake this weekend and there was no boat patrol available. Being BUSY is no excuse for improper coverage on a holiday weekend. Maybe the families were more disrespected by lack of coverage and emergency personel on duty.
 

Exactly post 1036 but to the person who you are responding to never never never attempt to tell Lovelace what to do on our Blog. You are in no position to dictate, you are here on our site the citizens site. Not your site, now if you want to put up a post do not I repeat do not challenge Lovelace, you will lose that battle. What post 1036 is refering to was an attempt to justify the poor management of the sheriffs office over the Labor day weekend. It did not fly and post 1036 is spot on. Now if you want to place you comment back up in reference to 1036 do so, but back off of telling us how to run our Blog!!!
 

Post 1035 we are thinking about sending them some money as the Ad was very effective for us, but alas no one had the balls to put their name on it. Golly isn't that something, such staunch supporters and afraid to use their name in a full page ad, and curious enough even the Bee allowed them to bypass their own rules of political ad placement, ya that's a real stand up group! ;-)
 

I just sent 3 e-mails to Dixon, Mandy and Hammers! Join in everybody, this is very important to bring these people in line for the rest of the election. Send you e-mails the address's are posted above by Lovelace!
 

IF Mitchell is a right on guy. Then why all this animosity, pro or con? show me its all Hopkins fault and Mitchell was duped by Hopkins and he really is a good person. Before you start can I ask did he call the attorney general to check on Hopkins or just his report about Mr.Dinius. Show me the light so I don't think Mitchell is dishonest. I should be able to trust the sheriff. It could be one of my kids or me, with his fingers on the scales of justice.
 

OK Folks...
Lets use some common sense here in regards to the Meeting with Mitchell, Ringen, Ford & Brown. Yes, there was a meeting at Rob Brown's house. Outside on the Porch. None of the 4 have talked to anyone, other than each other, as to the content of the meeting. So, then how would it be, that a poster on this Blog, "reveals" the so called "Topic of Discussion"?

Who was hiding in the bushes? Oh, Thats right, Frankie is a known "Prowler", arrested in Florida. So, does this person have the balls to step up and admit that they were tresspassing? Or doing a high tech long distance recording? I doubt it. So, all it comes down to is someone guessing as to what the Conversation was about. But it does prove that the Rivero camp is spending big bucks having Mitchell "tailed". But while Rivero is watching Mitchell, does he ever pay attention to whom is watching him?

So, if you want to impress us, come out from behind the curtain. But then you would have to tell the truth, and what fun is that? You should give up your lame attempt at Journalism, and stay with Creative Writing. Maybe some Romance Novels? Love behind Federal Prison Bars?
 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh post 1234 nice try but that is what has been destroying the Mitchell camp all along, our inside information, nice try and trying to get some data on that but it isn't going to happen dear friend. We know when, where, why and how the meeting took, place we know exactly what was discussed and we have posted that exact information,your inquiry as to how that could happen is proof enough of its validity. Tell Brown, Ford, Ringen or Mitchell, to try another angle, that one ain't going to fly.
 

Boy 1234 sounds a lot like Jensen, could be wrong, but would not surprise me. john is that you??
 

Johnny boy is that you sneaking around in the bushes again. Come on just step out from behind the curtain, and also work on that Journalism, or maybe try little creative writing class, to hone your skills a bit more. Is that you John boy?
 

9/5 9:02pm - Oh Sandy...! Can we say, "Paranoid Drama Queen"???
 

My guess is 12:34 is Ringen. Remeber Kip when you told your good friend Jim Crane all about the meeting and he went an blabbed it all over the DA's office. You're too much Kip!
 

That just goes to show that John Boy and Mitchell are connected at the hip. jj can't use the lcn with a sm. "n" to get Mitchell's with a a sm. "m" to get his message out so jj comes here because lcn with a sm. "n" is no longer trusted.
 

Okay, I am impressed by your claims to have inside information, but I am constantly amazed about how much you do not know until it becomes public. Over and over I read this site waiting for you to catch on to what is happening and almost never do you know about things until they happen. Many of us, for example, knew of the Saturday ad days before and I kept waiting for news of it to appear on this site. Nothing. You were totally blind sided.

I am also amazed at the amount of wrong conclusions drawn from little or no evidence that appear here. Sometimes someone gets it right by accident but most times wishful thinking on the part of the posters leads them very far astray of what I know is really going on. Your inside information is not quite as complete as you might wish it were.
 

100 Could it be that you knew because you helped write it jj?
 

1:04 Rivero was at the fair every day, what the hell are you talking about? WHAT BS
 

When did the fair become the premere location for candidates?
 

Both Candidates for Sheriff and both Candidates for DA had booths at the fair. It's a great place to reach citizens from all across Lake County.
 

P.S. What kind of background was done on Mitchell and by whom?
 

September 6, 2010 12:34 PM

Are you kidding me???? Ringen most certainly did tell the exact content of the meeting with Mitchell and Brown. It was sickening that when he told of his meeting, he actually thought he did himself a good turn. I couldn't believe that he thought Mitchell would fall for it of all people Ringen can't keep anything a secret. Get a clue dude!
 

Hey Mcass is that you? If so can you play today? You gun pointing little human waste.

ou know what elese he did one morning? He was driving in from his house in Hidden Valley and he called in a HazMat for some glowing stuff on the side of the road in the grass, he said it was 300 yds long and looked like it was glowing. 15 minutes later he called off the HazMat response because the glowing stuff turned out to be the morning dew shining in the sun. What a dip shit!
 

5:32 Mitchell is a defendant for his involvement in the murder of Lynn Thorton by his best friend and co defendant Russ Perdick. How many co defendants will testify that Mitchell ordered the cover up?
 

This is the Lovelace group, this has been an amazing weekend of activity. We and all others associated with the change we are bringing to our county could not be happier with the information and most recent events that we are working on. The hate ad has back-fired on the Mitchell thugs. The situation with Tom it now appears is going to turn out to be an amazing story of corruption lying and collusion, with connections that the corruption supporters cannot imagine. The ripple effect of which we know the results, is going to be a stunning and game ending blow for Mitchell and his flock of pigeons. This is a game changer to the highest degree, and although we would like to reveal this information we cannot at this time, This week is going to be shall we say a very interesting week indeed. Please everyone stay safe for the rest of the day, we hope all of you had a good Labor, this is the official start of the lead up to November and we could not be happier with where everything stands at this point. Thanks to the Corruption boys for making life easier for us. And oh just a quick note, we have ascertained that we will be able to get the names and contributers to the hate ad, and that it will be used when all this is said and done, to put just a little bit more pain on those involved in this scam. For those of you who did the official paying for the ad, and for the RB accepting the monies you will be in the long run required to divulge this information. This by the way is not associated with Rivero, or anyone else, you troubles are going to come from what may currently appear out of your field of vision. let's keep the ball rolling, great support and great job by everyone!!!
 

The two of us at home (and this blog) think you're just plain stupid to know how to correct someone. Your sentence structure is wrong, your us of conjunctions are wrong and I’m not going to even get into capitalizing. For instance, your use of dashes in your sentences are wrong, the use of a colon is wrong and a conjunction does not end with a comma.

As stated before, this blog doesn't care about grammar or spelling.
 

Thanks Von 6:22 for the writing tip, since we all know how good you write, why it's almost as good as most of the deputies, maybe you should apply as a deputy and get some street time in so real cops would have some respect for you.
 

I had a conversation with Miss Lake County at the fair and she was real mad at Mitchell. When she was just out of high school, she was hired as a dispatcher. She was notified that she was being fired about a month into her employment. She asked to speak with Mitchell, but it was denied.

Mitchell walked up to her at the fair smiling at her and congratulating her. Mitchell said he has known her for a long time. She turned around and said no, that she only met him once and refused to talk to her when she was fired. Mitchell said he didn't manage his managers very good back then.

Isn't it funny that every time Mitchell is caught in a lie, he blames it on someone else?
 

Don't go giving credit to Von as she didn't write it.
 

A good thing you just brought up.

Von and Mike Morshed were the favored children of Mitchell's GOB's. They lived next to Mitchell and Mike even mowed his lawn! Von was a dispatcher.

Von is the first and only person hired by the DA's Office, sent to the police academy and hired as a Criminal Investigator with no street experience or even a Field Training Program.

Mike was a deputy, then a K9 deputy, assigned to the elite SED unit, made sergeant and in just one year headed the entire Investigations unit.

Mike messed up, but came forward and admitted his guilt to Mitchell. Others had been fired for less, but since Mike was a GOB (back then), he was only given a suspension. When the word got out that he was supporting Rivero, Mitchell sicked Capt. Brown on him and did IA after IA until Morshed was fired. What for? It wasn't for the any criminal offense, sexual misconduct or even a violation of a the Policy and Procedures. No charge was ever filed against Morshed.

I ask you, how did Von get a position in the DA's Office without any prior experience, never been through a FTO Program or had even driven a patrol car? Now look who is on Mitchell's election staff. Was she doing a little something off to the side? Is that why the two broke up?
 

The demise of the Morshed Family was Mike's affair with a skanky youngster from Loch Lomond, the armpit of Lake County!
 

Re Post.
Did anyone happen to have taped or know if a recording of election night was made? I talked to kpfz awhile back and they said they did not record it. I will be willing to pay for a copy of the program, Thanks
 

So did Von get on her knees to go from Dispatcher to cop? All the other DA cops came from another law enforcement agency. Why did she get special treatment?
 

Another was Martina Santor. She couldn't handle Ventura or LCSO. She cried and talked Hopkins into hiring her. She was never a detective and was a lousy street cop. Hey Hopkins, do you hire people using the silicone grading scale?
 

Witch one is investigating Garzoligate?
 

What ever happened to the toxicology reports from Bryan Smith's dui?
 

Some of you are such ignorant slobs, clearly writing of things of which you know zilch. Martina Santor left Ventura, not because she "couldn't make it" but because she got a job with LCSO and her husband got a job with LPD. They left to get out of southern California. She applied for the DA investigator job when an opening came along, tested and was hired based on a competitive examination. That means others applied too. And I hope she takes no offense to it, but she would rank fairly low on the "silicone grading scale." Now Von, that's another matter.....
 

I just finished reading the Clearlake Police Watch area, why in the world don't you citizens contact Your city officials and clue them in on what is going on apparently right under their very noses.

It appears that McClains' Big Dog's are riding rough shot over the dept. who are they accountable to? or is a Good Buddy system where they cover each others actions?

I recently read also of the firing of two officers, what is going on we need police in this small town where the out of towers come to dump their drugs, can you afford to allow this injustice to happen...Heck no, I am only in town for the weekend and two extra days and I will be contacting someone I know in Lakeport who is in city government because their kind of action cannot continue while lives get ruined, careers flushes, just for personal reasons.

I have decided that I would make a phone call from my home in Grass Valley to check and see if the Chief is actually working on any given day and post my results here.

wishing all of you a good summer what balance of it there is, looks like Fall is nearing.

Abby K.
 

Martina Santor is an excellent elder abuse investigator, she works very hard for our seniors, Von on the other hand couldn't cut it in her child abuse cases so now she is in charge of domestic violence investigations. She ain't so good at those either. Von still has her hand in the Mitchell pie as she double dips on weekends as a dispatcher. After all she is a "poor working mom" as she loves to say. As for how she got sent to the academy, a friend of mine in the DA's office told me how she would walk up to the prior Chief investigator and rub her fake boobies all over his head. (She does love to show those things off) He's a man so he loved it and was putty in her hands, he later said he created a monster in her and he was sorry he ever sent her to be a cop because he saw that she wasn't cutting it. But because she shed crocodile tears ever time she was called on the carpet she managed to get where she is.
 

712 PM
After reading the blog. It appears Law Enforcement is the armpit of Lake Co.
Someone should really write a book about Lake Co. Law Enforcement an then a movie.
 

Good morning Lake County, we hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend, this has been a crazy last few days, with the corruption supporters throwing their last stab efforts at saving Rodney, and we think this week is going to be a very interesting one for all the citizens of our county. We are now less then 2 months away from election day, and it will be very important to start talking to all those individuals who may still have to register and or those that we need to make sure they vote in November. The Rivero campaign will need all the support they can get from people manning the phones to sign placement to talking to the masses and making sure we pull this off with a landslide victory. The Mitchell gang is on the run and we need to keep the pressure on throughout the next few weeks.
 

Thank you for the postings and the information Mole man, good to hear the straight scope from the inside!
 

Goodness, is LCN the advertising agency for Mitchell, now they have a blurp on coffee with the cops article on the front page. These people should rename their paper the Rodney Mitchell campaign team. LOL Well at least it is transparent!!!
 

For the most part Lake Co. law enforcement is a joke. You get just what you pay for which is quite evident. That's not to say there aren't some excellent Cops here because there are. Unfortunately for them they are trapped working with people who do not measure up. Lake Co. law enforcement seems to reflect the attitude of it's leaders which is also evident in both CPD and the LCSO. Both departments need new leadership.
 

Mitchell is working overtime stealing community releations programs developed by other agencies so he can take credit for them. Since he's running for office he's slipping these things into the paper for free publicity. Not one of these programs that he is taking credit for are of his own doing. Mitchell has no ideas of his own accept to take care of Mitchell and damn the cost.
 

Why would anyone want to leave Ventura and come to Lake Co. as a Cop.

Ventura is not a big city eventhough its not that far from LA. It's a beautiful tourist area with lots of open country. LE in the area is fairly well respected so again why would you want to come here for what these Cops are paid?
 

to little to late!
Mitchell should have started the community relation programs right after the Dinius case. By placing Perdock on paid admin. level for over 11 months didn't help Mitchell. Oh let's not forget the Garzoli incident and Mitchell Refusal to fire Garzoli for months. It didn't take Mitchell long to fire Beland, Morshed, or Wright. Can we say Mitchell protected his good old boys once again.
Mitchell and his cover-ups are very clear to most voters. To little, to late. Mitchell, Try something called telling the truth. The community doesn't trust the Sheriff's department today!
 

This justification they have a family to feed as if that is a excuse to not report dishonesty is bogus. They took a oath and should stand my it or move on. I call them liars and you would call them good people. their just part of the cancer. Polluting of the governments ethics that in turn we loose faith in.
 

You can bet that mitchell and his Hit men won't be at the coffee with cops snow job. We all know that mitchell will send his best hard working honest deputy's to try and bolster his image. I say lets go to the coffee meetings and show our support for those that do their jobs in spite of mitchell. Let them know we support them and not mitchell and his hit men. Give them written questions to take back to Mitchell and his hit men.That way mitchell with a sm. "m" can't say he didn't get the message.
 

803 #1 if it's a thug and they blurp one iou 4 mitchell on taxpayers time while in uniform it needs to be reported. Stop Mitchell abuses and vote no.
 

915 There won't be any thugs there. They have all been assigned to special duty watching this Shadowy Blog with a capital "B". In mitchells FAQ He stated that his biggest challenge in law enforcement is watching those Shadowy Blogs. Meth takes the back seat again.
 

OOH BOY!!! it sure did not take long for Ski to go back to work that had to have been the fastest IA LCSO history. No witnesses no problem go back to work. I wonder if they even did a blood test?
 

What ever became of Bryan Smiths toxicology report?
 

933 No way.. You shouldn't be on the time clock if your campaigning for your boss, period. But, we all know Mitchell does his own thing.
 

934 yeah, it's to bad mitchell wasn't out patrolling the lake.
 

lets take a vote martin 1, 2 for wells, ? dutra. who do you think?
 

I read Don Anderson’s book, “408 Lakeport”. I have a greater respect for Don and his genuine commitment to Lake County. He will make an excellent DA because of his insight, integrity and first hand experiences.
 

Another day and no knock on the door for Mitchell. Could today be the day they come for Rodney? The question is not if but when and hopefully he gets to see his own jail before moving to club fed.
 

Hey Rodney have you hired counsel to represent your individual side of the lawsuit. Wow I bet you sleep well knowing how you screwed each and everyone of your co defendants over and that is not even counting the ones who were not named in the lawsuit. How many are going to testify you ordered the cover up of Lynn Thorton's murder?
 

Rodney here are some of the crimes you could be charged with Murder, accessory to murder, witness tampering, perjury, an ongoing conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice, all under the color of authority.
 

How many will testify to the fact you ordered the cover up. I know if I was one of your co defendants I would save my ass and testify against you.
 

I would testify against Rodney just for the personal satisfaction of seeing him squirm.
 

Lake County is going to pay off big because of a few bad apples in the Lake County Sheriff's Office who lied and cover for Perdock. If these same ones lied in court then, wouldn't they lie again somewhere else? Mitchell didn't stop it then and he won't stop it now. Vote him out.
 

Where did Rodney mention any of the nine witnesses that testified that the sailboat lights were on or that perdick was boozing at Konocti. yeah Rodney your investigation is going to stand up. Rodney you just keep waving your doj report soon enough Jerry is going to be a little pissed off at you.
 

11:50
this time their ass is on the line.
 

11:50 What do you mean Mitchell is the one who ordered the cover up and the lies. See him waving that foney baloney doj report. The one that fails to mention perdick boozing at konocti or nine witnesses that testified that the sailboats lights were on. The funny thing is some of those witnesses were on a witness list that was received by BoatUS(Weber's insurance company) and some how they disappeared from RiMS. Dats da facks Jack
 

Rule # 1 - If you live in Lake County and you have a grow on your land that you are unaware of ,you -MUST BE A SUPERVISOR. Rule # 2 If you live in Lake County and plow into a sailboat causing death and destruction, you MUST BE UNDER SHERIFF. Rule # 3 If you manage to , Cheat, steal, and lie to the citizens of this community and never get caught , you MUST BE THE SHERIFF. Now run along and play fair kids.
 

And we know Martin's daddy would sign one.
 

Evidence in lake county is he said she said and judge will sign it.
 

Will Rodney's health make it the eight weeks until the election? When will the paranoia really start to set in?
 

2:53 just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean they arent out to get me!
 

I remember fifteen years ago a wind surfer lost all wind and was stuck in the middle of the lake it took two and a half hours for Boat patrol to show up. Remember no Boat Patrol after dark and less than that in the winter. Ask perdick why do think he thought he could do what he did. Hell rarely do you ever see boat patrol leave Braitos.
 

Libel that would be the add in the record bee.
 

Is the threat of libel the corruption supporters new scare tactic? If you guys thought you had any chance of proving anything you would have tried long ago!!!
 

Is This libel? Russell Perdick after boozing at konocti murdered Lynn Thorton. Rodney Mitchell arrived at the scene and gave his best friend a big hug and ordered the cover up of the murder.
 

Hey 3:17 your either brave or ignorant.
 

3:35 That is the truth...
 

If you vote for Mitchell as Sheriff of Lake County you have the wright to know your work schedule in all the positions which entitles you to be the boss. You will be Sheriff, Prosecutor, Judge and Warden. You also will be Grand Jury Foreman and editor to two county newspaper. You also have the wright to tell the county supervisors where to stick it. You have no one to account to for your actions including Attorney General Jerry Brown. This all happened the past 15 years under Sheriff Mitchell Regime. You also could play a racist, a dictator and a hypocrite. After 15 years of muddy water you can call it mission accomplished. LeRoy is watching, and his message "We don't want your kind in Lake County"
 

3:35 If I speak the truth who should I fear?
 

Listen up real good 3:14...I'm not a corruption supporter just a citizen offering some advice. It's not a scare tactic but a plain and simple fact. Libel charges are nothing to sneeze at.
 

3:40, If you speak/write the truth and can prove it you most likely have nothing to fear.
 

This is the Lovelace group back from a busy busy day. We see the discussion has been centered on Libel and Slander, we have already covered this subject in depth, so let's do it again, so you don't worry about what the new trick for the corruption supporters is. Ok first of all you are posting on a Google system, and we use lynux as our operating system, it is bullet proof system. Now Google told China to screw off, Google never never gives out any information requested for by attorneys, or court orders, with the exception of something major such as Murder or something of that nature. Number two, Libel is expensive and nearly impossible to prove, only a very few lawyers would ever take a libel case, very very very few. Number 3 here is the criteria for Libel>

1. Every aspect of what is saidd must not in anyway be true. Hersey, saying things like Rodney Mitchell is an Asshole, is not libel in anyway. Nothing we have seen on this site has anything to do with libel. If I want to say Rodney is cheat, an asshole, a dumb-ass, and doesn't have a clue as to how to run his department, and he has screwed around on this wife and he is a corrupt chump. I am just fine, don't let anyone tell you any different.

2. It must have third party distribution, not only must you say it, but it must be in writing and then distributed to two different parties. In other words if I stand on the street corner or post my opinion on this site, that is not Libel, and would never fly. So for example Rob Brown has committed libel, because he has said things that were untrue, then distributed that information by e-mail, and then made the claim that he 100% knows it is true. This criteria is almost never met.

3. If you make a statement and then distributer to a third part, you then have to make the statement that you know it is 100% true, which by the way Rob Brown has done as well.

4. Now get this once you make the statements somehow and meet perfectly all the above criteria, which is nearly impossible, then the person claiming he or she was libeled must prove significant monetary damages. So for example if We say Lake County News is a rotten bias rag, and they are liars, which they are, then Lake County News would have to prove beyond any question that they can say they lost X amount of money because of what we or an individual said.

5. That having all been said, here is the kicker, There is a motion which in legal terms is called a Slapp condition, which means if anyone tries a libel suit in our county based on our attacking the corruption supporters they will be hit with a slapp motion That motion says sorry you are trying to silence people because you do not want them to say the things they are saying.

6. Then you have the issue of money. it is very expensive to file a libel suit, and the person you are suing has to have loads and loads of money, or since it is just a civil suit you get nothing for it.

That ladies and gentlemen is the real story of Libel, keep hammering keeping banging on them, and if you really want to spin the corruption boys, and all the above doesn't sway you...LOL then all you need to do at the end of your comment or if you are talking on the air, on the radio or TV is say, it is my opinion. Period, no libel. But as you can see that is really not necessary. Hope that clears up that small time attempt at the corruption boys to quiet the Blog....Sorry boys ain't going to happen, nice try though you dumb-shits (Lovelace approved profanity)..
 

3:48 you can admit it you support Mitchell.
 

So we deleted the dummy corruption supporters post, one of them was some idiot posting about a lawyer telling a client to keep all the comments, hey dumbshit they never go away, they just go off the thread, so tell the dumbass lawyer and the idiot who is keeping the logs we said, your wasting your time get a fu*&^%g life. Since we know no lawyer would tell someone to do that you a liar, and if you are not lying, tell however is doing that it's a waste of their time...LOL again nice try no cigar, listen corruption boys when you try to scam Lovelace you always lose, we are miles ahead of you. Stop trying your days are numbered and we have covered all the bases. Watch this, Rodney Mitchell is a horses ass, he is not worth the dirt he walks on, and that ain't my opinion that is a fact!!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooo file a libel suit, you can have my 29 cents in the bank, and my old pair of tennis shoes dumbass!! LOL
 

OWD Thanks the corruption supporters were scaring me. Not
 

LOL LOL LOL LOL We are rolling on the floor thanks 406
 

Okay big boy, go ahead and delete the posts but the issues won't disappear so easily.
 

You really think they made that one up. I could see one of these corruption supporters every hour walking the laptop over to the copier and making copies.
every hour. I just think Pat would forget half the time.
 

Nice try suck ass post 410, don't worry we don't have a care in the world in relation to your BS. It was a nice try for a corruption supporter, but not even close to reality. Get out of here your a punk. LOL
 

Opps got carried away on the spam system, if you lost a post re-post it, unless of course you are a whining corruption supporter posting no substance, also corruption supporters don't bother trying the idea of saying both are bad so I will take the less worse one, that is an old trick, and we know your only choice is to try and bring Rivero down to your level, again corruption boys it ain't going to work.
 

Ollie, I am rolling on the floor, God you have these guys nailed down to a science. I love watching you beat on them, thanks for all the hard work. You guys may not know it but a lot of people appreciate what you guys are doing. Thanks again, for keeping the Mitchell boys towing the line as well they should be!
 

What does Rivero have to do with anything? Remember, it's not his blog...HAHAHAHAHA
 

thanks post 430 but really this is not hard work, these guys are children, they don't stand a chance against the citizens and the change that is coming to this county. Thanks for the support!
 

4:10 I bet Mitchell wishes he had a delete button to make all his problems disappear. That train is running out of tracks and it is still picking up speed!!
 

Yes and by the way 410 we don't have an issues to be concerned with. LOL oh these corruption boys are weak> Mitchell needs to get a new shift on here, these guys are terrible.
 

Pat isn't libel alittle to big of a word for you or did Mgm tell you how to use it.Pat useing libel in a sentence " when I gets drunk and passes out I'm libel to wake up with a tampon in my mouth".
 

I hear Tom is on his way home?
 

441 It is a sign of a very very weak Yours.LOL Lol
 

437 OMG that was hilarious.
 

4:47, I take it Rhoades is a relative.
 

We had to take down the Anderson post, if the person would have actually said something with intelligence we might have left it up. There is no need for us to take a lot of time on the Mitchell blog with the DA race, we have endorsed Anderson, he came in first, we snuffed out Hoppy, he is gone, but our current concentration must be on Mitchell, and Rivero taking over in Nobvember.

By the way, I talked to no less then 3 different people today who got the paper and saw the Ad the corruption supporters posted. They were laughing their asses off, and here is the amazing thing, they did not know Rivero and they Did not know Mitchell, they were clueless, but when they saw the ad posting things of more then 20 years ago, and all the crap that was on it, they said what the hell are these guys afraid of, each of the 3 different people said this. Long story short thanks Mitchell scum for giving us 3 more Rivero votes. sweet!!
 

The entire Bio of Frank Rivero is up on the Manifest taken directly from his campaign web page, it is receiving huge hit counts, and there are also several other excellent articles on the paper, with more coming. Please if you have not signed up as a member do so when you get the chance, the Manifest in combination with this Blog is an unbeatable combination. With LCN on the outs and dying as fast as the copy cat site, we are setting in a perfect position for the upcoming election, thanks to everyone for the great support!!

The Manifest
 

No whining corruption boys, post some content and your defense of Mitchell.
 

Man Ollie it is easy to chase off these weak corruption boys, but why can't they post anything of value? It is just the same small childish rants. Small minded people doing small minded things I guess.
 

I've been fishin for RB and jj but after getting a "report" back from my boy, I found out both RB & jj are fairly broke,,,, so it looks like I'll be taking a look towards the dumbies behind the libel-Rivero ad in the record bee. We really liked the verbage: "he relies on people who operate outside the law to help him secure a position that exists to make sure that all citizens stay within the law".

Good use of a wide paint brush and offensive to boot! They libeled everyone who votes/donates/supports Rivero! Nice job AH's!
 

It is not surprising to hear that JJ and the RB are not doing to well, the condition and current state of our county does not lend itself to these types of publications making ends meet. With the huge overhead that RB has the only thing holding them up is Headquarters money, the same that run the Press Democrat, it would seem that the timing of the Manifest is significant and we may end up the only newspaper in the county when it is all said and done. With RB's small amount of circulation and less then sharp reporters as well as the bias they have toward Mitchell along with the LCN they now have lost all people who would vote for Rivero, which of course is the majority of those voting, and the voters would generally be the ones who would take delivery of a paper. Not a pretty picture for these tabloids as we enter into the slow winter season. Could be a web press is going to be up for sale soon.
 

3 names are now known, of the payee's and participants of the hate ad. Nice, thanks for the e-mails. For everyone out there if you have further information, on any subject actually and do not want to post on the public thread, just send us an e-mail to sheriffmitchellwatch@gmail.com

Oh the ripple effects of the rock of stupidity they threw in the water is amazing!!

In due time more to come.
 

And they are trying to scare us with the threat of libel. This Blog is killing Rodney and there is not a thing he can do! HaHa HAHA
 

5:40 PM Boy did you miss the mark. The Bee is a cash cow that helps support the metros, it is one of the more profitable properties. LCN seems to have new ads all the time and is clearly kicking butt in the readership area so I don't seen any dark clouds for them anytime soon either.
 

OOH BOY!!! it sure did not take long for Ski to go back to work that had to have been the fastest IA LCSO history. No witnesses no problem go back to work. I wonder if they even did a blood test?
# posted by Anonymous : September 7, 2010 9:48 AM

*************

No LCSO IA was done and blood was taken but was never sent anywhere Nice job Rod protecting another GOB
 

6:27 what? I was right, no witness no problem go back to work.
 

Ha ha ha ha the Bee is the cash cow, oh my God, do you have any clue what their overhead is, the running of that press, well of course you don't they are on the very edge dear friend, and there ain't no cash cow. LOL listen a paper as small as that with the distribution level they have is always going to be on the edge. Oh by the way I know the exact ads that are and have been in LCN, and their ads are way down, and I know of two who tried it and are in there now who will not be re-upping those ads. No my friend, you are way off the mark. But the good news is we have the Manifest, so the truth will come out to the citizens, which by the way with those rags in circulation it would not.
 

You indeed were right post 633, it is the way of the Mitchell regime, kill a man, oh back to work, and hey let's send you right out on another raid, Yikes scary.
 

Yes you are right when it comes to just the Record Bee they are dragging down the rest of the entities of the media group. Now using that press to print other publications is fine, and I am sure they do, but for the Bee itself nope they are a loser of a paper.

By the way I sent an e-mail to Gary, hitting him on the bias, no response. Such a shame we have these two papers in our county, well actually we have one paper, and one on line, which ain't amounting to much.
 

Only eight weeks left. Hopefully they don't try anything to stupid. They are already in enough trouble.
 

NOTICE: On Wednesday, September 8, from 9:45 AM until 10:15 AM, the Philadephia Lawyer (Ron Green) will have as a special guest Frank Rivero during his weekly 30 minute segment on the Steve and Catherine Elias News Magazine show on KPFZ, 88.1 FM public radio. Frank will talk about the outrageous and disgusting full page Mitchell ad that appeared in Saturday's Record Bee. If you would like to call in during the show, the number is 263-3435. The segment will be rebroadcast at 11:45 PM on Wednesday night. The Philadelphia lawyer usually does his legal and political news segment from 10:30 until 11:00 every Wednesday, but the time has been changed this week to accomodate Frank Rivero's schedule
 

Which one of you genius corruption supporters came up with let's scare them and threaten libel? So after all weekend brainstorming that is the best you could come up with. Mitchell really needs to surround himself with people that at least have an IQ larger than their waist size.
 

Anyone have any info on Tom?
 

The feeling on the street is they are going to try more stupid and potentially worse moves Post 642. No one is really safe right now and we don't say that lightheartedly. The fact of the matter is "this" goes much deeper then even what has been uncovered and exposed over the past year. There are "connections" and collusion that go in a number of different directions. Not please, from a conspiratorial perspective but from a very realistic viewpoint,that cannot be denied. Mitchell is trouble, this county and certain supporting agencies are in control, the originally elitist network,is the reality. Bad men have been making bad decisions, and weak people have been standing by watching (BOS) or in some cases a part of the network (Rob Brown)..Time will tell what the end game is for them.
 

The situation with Carter one would assume would take a couple of days, the wheels of justice move real slow out there in federal land. this could be dragged out in a number of different ways. So with the Labor Day weekend today is the first day something would start. Will update as information arrives.
 

Ron!! Baby can't we do better then a half hour baby??? Can't somebody bump to expand it? This is Frank Rivero come on?? We are at the pinnacle of the election approaching? Get with Andy or someone,bump some time from something else.
 

What will Frank say that it is not true. What part of the ad was not true?
 

the problem with this blog is You seem to only kiss Rivero's backside, you hate the cops, you hate the deputies their wives parents kids step parents any jobs the spouces have, the local newpaper the editors the contributing staff writter, there is something really wrong when a group of people hate so many things, and you find it normal that is the more than usual scary thing about it, to hate just for the sake of hating and blowing your tops over every iota. what a shame to be so negitive you only life once try and being in harmony with those all around you not just the few in that hatemongers citcle of misfits.
 

all of the full page ad was the whole truth nothing but the truth....I am voting for Sheriff Rod Mitchell after reading that I don't want anyone with that background being the Sheriff and I have a large group of Friends who think the same.
 

7:35 why don't you try it too, oh wait Mitchell wouldn't approve would he, then you'd be on his target list
 

6:34 You are nuts. The Bee exports more money to Denver each year than you will earn in your lifetime. That's a fact. I know darn near exactly how much they make and it exceeds overhead by a very comfortable margin. What you don't seem to get is that if the Bee were a loser as you suggest they would sell it off since MNG is in financial trouble and could do well to raise cash. Fortunately for the Bee they gobs of money home to Denver and that helps support the bleeding metro papers. But don't let facts, logic or reality get in your way. You guys will see just how valuable to the corp the Bee is if you ever attempt to attack them as the corporate attorneys will descend on you like a horde of locust and leave nothing in their wake.
If you are correct then why hasn't MNG divested of the Bee? Small loss leaders go on the block. Earners stay. It is simple economics but apparently not simple enough for you.
 

Oh and for the record, Banks own most of MNG now so what bank would hold on to a small market loss leader?
 

Post 735 your are ignorant,(the definition we use is not informed) . You don't have a clue. We have posted our position very clearly you many times you must be new! Our position is that we are engaging the Mitchell regime to free the good cops in the SO, we want the good ones to come here, we have lost so many, We want the citizens and the LE to walk in concert with each other, communicating engaging, and working for mutual purpose of improving our county.It can be done, it takes transparency and disclosure. Don't think for a minute you can come here and lecture us on the police force, you who perpetuate the actions that hurt officers, that cause peer structures that are damaging and hurtful to those not in the "click". Your in denial, you can't think past the illusions you see through your rose colored glasses. Do not come on here and try to dispel the constant support and hope for our local police force to be gained by our actions that we have posted. As far as your other diatribe, at least you could post with out caps, and profanity, although you really hit the whining category. Now are we assuming you are a Mitchell supporter?
 

Well 742, the only thing I can tell you is I appreciate your knowledge, yet still, I think you got it wrong. The reality is only time will tell. The potential I have illustrated is as valid if not more then your amazing "cash cow" theory. Thanks, now may we inquire are you a Mitchell or Rivero supporter?
 

Sure you can inquire but I am as yet undecided. I've swayed both directions though I'll admit recent events have me concerned so I'm waiting for the evidence. I like most thinking people cannot in good conscience vote for a Sheriff found in possession of narcotics with intent to sell or distribute. So I'll wait to see the evidence.

I know that doesn't sit well with you but I'm a parent and I'm disinclined to explain that sort of thing to my children until they are older.
 

I have no problem of saying that the deputies do a fantastic job. I've watched them work in hazardous and hostile conditions. I've watched them put their life on the line even when protecting a criminal.

Having said that, I can not say the same for management. Underhanded discipline and favored promotions. Sexual misconduct and racial slurs. I've watched Mitchell and his GOB's as they watched over the deputies like a flock of vultures waiting for them to mess up.

Unfair discipline handed down by Mitchell's GOB's is a standard practice. I watched one lieutenant get demoted for using a racial word. But a sergeant only gets a suspension for having sex in his patrol car while on duty. A deputy gets a suspension and his take home car taken away for tailgating (his first and only traffic complaint) which is overturned by the courts later. But another flips and totals a patrol car at 100mph goofing off which causes his passenger to retire from injuries. The driver only had to pay for the replacement of the car and a Letter of Reprimand.

Lets not forget Garzoligate and Dinius. If you recall, Mitchell would never take responsibility for his actions. From allowing Garzoli to get his pilot license on public funds to allowing mechanics access to evidence. How much must the public take before Mitchell is out.

Rivero is the answer and will clean up LCSO. Not by firing deputies, but by giving them firm direction, a competent management and citizen's to oversee the department.
 

Sir,
your comment, "I like most thinking people cannot in good conscience vote for a Sheriff found in possession of narcotics with intent to sell or distribute."

I will point out that not only did this NOT happen to Rivero, but he was a narcotic's detective for SFPD for several years. During that time, he received numerous awards. How about Mitchell? A deputy, sergeant and detective but no awards and a nick name of "last at the scene Rod".
 

No, once again not one conviction on Rivero. Now Mitchell on the other hand will not tell you about his unprofessional actions in District 4 during a night time situation. Getting worried Rod? Do you think only Lake County people read and write on this site? Wait until I release your dirt in October. This is going to be great!
 

So tell me Lovelace, who wrote that article in the paper?
 

Well if all you need is the truth concerning anything that you think is edgy with Rivero, then we have you as a vote for Rivero. You will see quite quickly the actual reality of this game of chance that Mitchell, oh by the way don't give us the we have children line, many of us do, and we do what do for them, not to lock them into a static and entrenched system of corruption that we hand off to them. When you read the Bio which I assume you have on his web page and ask him any question you want, he will have your vote!
