Mexicans. Shocking!
How did you ascertain that Mexicans are involved? Oh you are just another racist asswipe , never mind .
Whenever I read about any crime in our county, 99 percent of the time it’s “them”. We need the wall NOW!
Katie,
Looks like reading, counting, and arithmetic are not strong skills of yours.
You’ve obviously missed a LOT of news reports and/or flatly ignore the plethora of brown and white skinned Americans arrest for a wide variety of crimes.
Not surprising, as your own words strongly highlight that you suffer with higher than average ignorance.
Or maybe you’re just another punk ass stupid fucking bigot lacking even an approximation of integrity, who will lie and cheat in any attempt to get her way and who only feels empowered while trying to keep another down.
They probably just came to Ukiah to drop off some meth to Ray’s mom and then went back to Santa Rosa. Thanks a lot Ray’s mom, get off the dope.
I heard plenty of sirens in Santa Rosa, could have been this.
I saw the motorcycle with two people on it flying by us, going south bound on Hwy 101 past Ukiah. Three police vehicles were in pursuit minutes behind them! Crazy speeds. I hope no one was hurt!
It actually started in SR earlier. I saw a cop chasing the motorcycle headed northbound. The cop gave up, I could see them again once I hit gyserville and Cloverdale had two cops and a sheriff waiting for them. The sheriff went after them and they took the first Cloverdale exit which they briefly paused at before getting right back on the freeway. By the time I got to Ukiah they were northbound again by the strawberry stand with two cops behind them. It was wild
A Motorcycle is not a vehicle, maybe a motor vehicle as defined by CCC 400. IDK how many DMV peeps or LEOs who need to be educated on this subject.

What kind of motorcycle was it?
Well isn’t this a bunch of crap. I simply asked what kind of motorcycle it was, which turned out to be impossible to publish, yet this yay hoo can be publically racist. Whats up with that?
Who cares if it was a Ducati or a schwin. Its not really pertinent to the story.
Maybe not pertinent to YOU. There could be 101 reasons its pertinent to someone. Not sure why youd even say that?
Whew… I’m tired…
That was the longest chase to date this year…
They should have just pulled over from the initial contact, the idiots got caught anyway.. lol
