LOL, great minds think alike. If the sheriff doesn't do anything, maybe a couple of large, muscular, shaved-head, tattooed thugs visiting Nate Tyler and Judith Hill and asking them some questions might be appropriate, LOL. Maybe we DO have to learn to fight fire with fire. Our civil approaches do not seem to work.
HA~! Yes, I see your point and definitely feel your frustration in ways that would be impossible to explain, however, there is a GREAT "line" in the famous movie "Roadhouse"~! "Be nice, until it is time to NOT be nice"~! Ha Ha Ha! ALL American Patriots have been extremely patient for many years and even decades in many cases, which is the most "Constitutionally correct" path to take. So, for now, stay cool and calm because should the time come to take any defensive actions "we" will be on the solid "high ground" and that my friend can often make the difference that determines the final outcome~! Historically, warriors who have afforded the enemy every possible opportunity to cease in their attacks, more often than not resoundingly prevail~! There is just an unusually elevated power that exists for those who honestly personally prefer peace, but who are forced to take defensive actions to save themselves, their fellow countrymen & women, and of course their country~! Criminals never do well against folks who are defending their own homes, communities, and countries~! That IS the extraordinary "power of Nationalism" that the criminals of humanity everywhere fear the most~! As well they should ;-) This is exactly why the criminals in government & their evil media have been attacking folks who love their countries (AKA; "Nationalists")~! This also reveals who are NOT criminals in government and society, because they always promote the "Nationalists" (This is the very reason for the "MAGA" concept and movement today BTW). Have a great and fun day & stay healthy & out of harms way~!
And why the left keep infringing on the 2nd Amendment, which explicitly states that the government has no right whatsoever to limit our firearms. ".....SHALL NOT be infringed". They know they're pushing us to the edge.
Yes patriot No One Important, you are 100% correct~!
We can't let these criminals of humanity "push us to the edge" because that is exactly what they obviously want us to do to save their lives from the justice that they so richly deserve~! We (Americans) have ALL the "chips" in this sick game, and we would be foolish to give the criminals anything that they want at this stage. Sticks and stones ;-) Besides, these criminals of humanity and their jack-booted thugs will NEVER physically attempt to take our guns, because they know damn well that they would never live long enough to collect their next paycheck~! HA~! So, all that "we" need to do is be patient, to see if the US Military is going to do their jobs, or if it will be necessary for the American Patriots in the general population to handle this "little matter" as The American Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and our other founding documents so well define~! If the US Military fails to keep their oaths, then the duty falls to us and things would get pretty messy but so be it~! Until "we" (Americans) are actually physically attacked by the criminals of humanity and their "goon squads" of treasonous scumbags, we hold ALL of the ultimate power, and we absolutely MUST be Constitutionally judicious with its application~! We should be in no hurry for violence, however completely prepared just in case~! It is truly terrible for so many good Americans to be prepared to defend themselves, their families, and beloved country, but that is the price of freedom that must be paid from time to time. For what it is worth, I don't believe it is going to come down to that, but we can't afford to take any chances and being prepared mentally and physically is all "we" have left now... Have a great evening and keep the faith~!
No One Important. No! We are not there yet. We are a civilized community not Chicago!! File it away. They are still listening to the people. The road got pushed through, is proof! 👍 Strength through trueth.
You are definitely NOT alone, so should you ever need "security" yourself just let me/us know and we will make sure that the criminal element is abated~! We here are people of peace, however that never means that we are "helpless" and we have absolutely no tolerance for bullies in any shape or form~! Be well and enjoy every day~! Sincerely, Mike
Jeff, I am so very sorry and concerned that you and your family have been going thru this ordeal. There are some very nasty, ugly, vindictive people in this county. We see them, we hear them, we know them. The apathy and intentional dismissal of your complaint by Ozias, the sherrif, and anyone else who can help is appalling. This is NOT how I want taxpaying citizens treated. You deserve better, especially as a multi-generational family of Sequim. This is also not fair to your neighbors, who, I'm sure, don't like the situation either. I'm disappointed in Nate Tyler's behavior, especially since he ran for a public political office. Well, at least now we know his true character and intentions. I like the personal body guards suggestions. And the car wash idea. Take care!
The family that wanted to reopen the Happy Valley Gravel Pit- I’ve known this family MY ENTIRE LIFE. When shots were fired in to their front yard, they called the police & were told it was probably just kids playing around. When the family insisted they were uncomfortable & wanted an officer to please come out & make a report, they were told no. What kind of county has Clallam become? I so badly want to hold on to the image of what this place I was born in used to be like. But I just can’t see any of it is left. My heart just breaks
Thank you! Somehow I've got to remember that because I love to quote it (incorrectly). My grandpa was in the Battle of the Bulge and is thanking you from above.
Jeff, The Sheriff's Office has been a mess for decades. I my family has received the same treatment from CCSO under Sheriff Benedict. Benedict went as far as calling my employer at the time of our burglary verbally filing a complaint with my department. Benedict complained that I was "talking" telling my neighbors of CCSO unprofessional, poor response, and lack of follow up to a $30,000.00 burglary to our property. The deputy in question whom I made comments about regarding this incident was later fired and even charged for continuing the same behavior upon other victims of criminal behavior. Its a club not a professional Law Enforcement agency at CCSO. Its so close net they made Benedict's office secretary the second in command! She's now the undersheriff? Her background is little in the way of former L.E. Her experience is decades of sharpening pencils as a teamster office employee in the sheriff's office. Is that even certifiable with in Washington State Law Enforcement Training standards? Our property burglary was only one incident we have endured with CCSO. A more serious arson wasn't investigated nor even documented to a family cabin we have had in the family since 1909 on fish hatchery road. Evidence was not placed no one knows where the evidence collect by a deputy went? Only the evidence property sheet was found, no report.... We have been vocal very vocal of CCSO for a long time. Going back to the era when the then CCSO sheriff crashed his personal car then reported it stolen.... He was seen leaving the Dungeness tavern loaded before the ditch crash. Dukes of Hazard - Look into that cluster of an agency. Its the heart of many issues.
Russell, from your description of dealing with CCSO (who follows the Commissioners lead) your DIRE NEED as a business owners is not being met. How many other citizen's stories are out there?
I have been an accomplished analyst, with a strong background in the field of law, for many decades, so I have seen a tremendous number of cases of governmental abuse, especially in government management, law enforcement, and court systems in every state that I have lived in~! Thankfully, there are always some honorable police & court officers who themselves are fighting the corruption within the very government that they work for, so "we" (Americans) must stand behind the good folks in government~! I have to disclose that I have never personally lived in a state that was not believed to be "Blue", but I am also very well aware that "Blue states" are only assumed to be "Blue" because of the mass corruption of the voting/election systems in those states, so the good news is that there are a LOT more folks in those states who are decent conservative law abiding people than is currently understood and appreciated. This too shall pass ;-) Anyway, my heart goes out to you for the unprofessionalism and abuses that you and your family has suffered at the hands of corrupt government players, but you are definitely not alone~! I can't testify for sure, but the evidence is overwhelming that folks who life in what are assumed to be "Blue states" suffer a HUGE number of government abuses than the folks who live in what are called "Red states"~! There are many cases of governmental abuse in ALL states, however it really is undeniable that "Democrat" controlled states are the most corrupt. As an old American Constitutionalist I greatly dislike being forced into using political terms, because American Constitutionalists are NEVER "political" as a strict rule, however the facts speak for themselves for anyone who has the insight and integrity to see and speak on them~! I believe that both the Democrat and Republican party's will be going down in the near future, because our Founding Fathers were absolutely right when they warned "us" (Americans) of being played for fools and controlled by the already well known and understood easily corrupted "two party system"~! Take care and stay safe, as America is returned to The Republic that "we" were founded to be~! Sincerely, Mike
I I had 2 less than satisfactory discussions, one with the Undersheriff and one with the Sheriff, during COVID, and 1 very bad encounter with both at the County Health Witch’s meeting declaring the mask mandate.
I have written to both and to the current occupant. No responses.
I have no faith in the prosecuting office. I called the sheriffs department when a neighbor tore up speed bumps that were installed on MY PRIVATE ROAD. The sheriffs deputy said that he’d forward it to the prosecutor. This is property destruction and I paid an individual to install them since no one can respect my road and speed down it (my road is gravel).
So I agree with Jeff, there is certain privilege in this county.
Yup. Time to get rid of the County Commissioners. They obviously serve no one but themselves. Isnt doxing illegal? Where is the County Prosecutor in all this? Is he missing? That person needs to be gone and we need to have someone who protects the public from these self-serving office holders. Unfortunitly, its looking like he needs to go too!
The Prosecutor is at the end of the tail on this. He can do nothing unless the sheriff files charges or Ozasis pushes the Sheriff to file charges. Without charges the Prosecutor can do nothing.
If that is the case its the first County Prosecutors office i have ever heard of that doesnt have an.investigative arm and cant use a grand jury to indict people. But that may well be so
To my knowledge and I was born and raised here and in law enforcement for 34 years and have never seen a grand jury called. I know the prosecutor has investigators for some criminal cases but normally a case is brought before him. I will check out your statement.
I, too, have an extensive law enforcement career, although not in this state. If tge County Prosecutor is unable to bring a criminal case on his own who would charge the sheriff if he commited crines? The State Attorney General? Just tryibg to make sense of it.
I misunderstood what you said. My point in my original comment was that i dont understand why the County Prosecutor hasnt taken a good hard look at the County Commisioners and their relationships with campaign contributors, NGOs, and apparent special favors at County expense looking for conflicts of interest or worse. If Jeff is correct in his reporting... and i have no reason to doubt him... there are plenty of things for the County Prosecutor to go in that direction....but he's not. Why is that?
It appears to be more and more obvious that the property owning TAX PAYING citizens (the bread and butter of Clallam County) are not on the top of the list of priorities. The citizens money is being used and abused. It’s funneled towards helping those that are not the bread and butter of Clallam County. When will the DIRE NEEDS of the citizens (whose voices are not heard) become the priority? Many are concerned about:
1) Citizens are in jeopardy of losing home ownership 2) Community Safety 3) Working citizens being overtaxed to support nonworking citizens 4) Building businesses that truly serve the community rather than enrich single entities.
It is obvious this is not being done, worse, it’s being suppressed via selective enforcement and preferential treatment.
In law, selective enforcement occurs when government officials (such as police officers, prosecutors, or regulators) exercise discretion, which is the power to choose whether or how to punish a person who has violated the law. The biased use of enforcement discretion, such as that based on racial prejudice or corruption, is usually considered a legal abuse and a threat to the rule of law.
preferential treatment
If you are given preferential treatment, you are treated in a better way than other people:
Jeff, we have Rent-A-Riot and Hire-A-Protest types of organizations to cause civil disturbance for a fee. Maybe we need a Rent-A-Thug organization to balance the equation? :-)
If I find 4 muscular men willing to work for me, the first thing they're going to do is wash my car in cutoff jeans. After that, they can start their work as body guards.
Also a fitting quote comes from Dale Carnegie. “Remember that no one ever kicks a dead dog"…… when you're being criticized, it's often because you're doing something that matters.
This brings up the red flag of HB 1399, the "Modernizing, harmonizing, and clarifying laws concerning sheriffs, chiefs, marshals, and police matrons" bill.
Luckily it was left for dead in the house chamber this year, but be assured it will come back again every year until passed. It will effectively remove the sheriff as an elected official and let the commissioners appoint whomever they want. Super dangerous bill! Pay attention closely and oppose it at all costs, if passed the sheriffs office will become a blatant enforcement wing of the political elite in each county.
I am easily confused. I thought that the Washington State Patrol was under the Governor's command. Sort of like he signs their paycheck? And that the SPD is under the direction of the Sequim City Council. Sort of like they sign the paycheck? Didn't someone post a comment referring to an event just after WWII back in the Southeast. Was the movie Walking Tall based on that problem in the community?
Sheriffs are the ONLY elected law enforcement officials. This means they are technically only accountable to the voters, not some board or bureaucrat. But with the perversion of our system Sheriffs have become just as beholden to the money flowing through NGO's as anyone. Of course, WA state Dems want to remove any accountability to voters and place sheriffs under appointment of their buddies and NGO funds.
Not in King County, they are appointed by the County Executive. When I lived in King County, we voted to keep the Sherriff's Office an ELECTED position! Apparently the County Executive(Constantine) didn't like that position and a few years later it was sent back to voters. They the elected to have the sheriff's position to be appointed. I just shook my head at the idiocrasy of King County voters!
to be fair -- without any way for the common Joey, Judy, and Jamie to stay informed (i.e. a working press/news) they only vote for their "team". Schools have dumbed down a whole couple of generations, and the media (including social) has done the rest. Then, add in making voting too EASY (although, it comes with bills that need to be ignored, too).
It used to be a point of civic pride to go TO THE POLLS, in your neighborhood and have your name crossed off THE LIST. Now..? No one knows what you do.
The whole concept of being a community is being lost to extinction.
Which is one of the great things about this Substack column... it's a voice crying out in the dark, with other voices replying loudly.
Yes, Guaranteed the Clallam County commissioners want this very same thing. But HB 1399 would make that the situation statewide. It will be reintroduced at the next legislative session. Just look at the title "Modernizing, harmonizing, and clarifying laws concerning sheriffs, chiefs, marshals, and police matrons". The Dems in this state believe modernizing and harmonizing police means making them accountable to corrupt politicians only.
Sherrif King needs to be held accountable as well. Who does he answer to? Who paid for his campaign? It doesn’t appear that he is apolitical, according to your report. It’s actually quite shocking to see him so blatantly sucking up to the Eberles.
"My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure". Written by A. L. Tennyson. We are lucky to have a watchdog protecting our interests. Mr. Tozzer could easily be making the big bucks operating a chain of locomotives on the unpleasant side of The Puget Sound.
Sadly, Tozzer Denial Syndrome is more like it!
First they ignore you, then they resist you, then they fight you, then you win!
Jeff deserves to be heard, but some politicians only run in certain herd ruts.
Let me know when you need security brother. Dealing with idiots is right up my alley. These people work for themselves, not others.
I appreciate that, Greg.
And I, as well as others, appreciate you and what you are doing.
Looks like you got a hell of a security team buddy, if you need it.
LOL, great minds think alike. If the sheriff doesn't do anything, maybe a couple of large, muscular, shaved-head, tattooed thugs visiting Nate Tyler and Judith Hill and asking them some questions might be appropriate, LOL. Maybe we DO have to learn to fight fire with fire. Our civil approaches do not seem to work.

Quote correction, Jeff.
"You know that you are over the target, when you get a lot of flack!"
It came from WW2 days, when bomber pilots knew they were close to their target, because anti-aircraft gun muntions were set near targeted factories
Thank you! Somehow I've got to remember that because I love to quote it (incorrectly). My grandpa was in the Battle of the Bulge and is thanking you from above.
Jeff, you're not just "over the target", it is now "Bombs away!"
Truth bombs, that is.

Sheriffs are the ONLY elected law enforcement officials. This means they are technically only accountable to the voters, not some board or bureaucrat. But with the perversion of our system Sheriffs have become just as beholden to the money flowing through NGO's as anyone. Of course, WA state Dems want to remove any accountability to voters and place sheriffs under appointment of their buddies and NGO funds.
Not in King County, they are appointed by the County Executive. When I lived in King County, we voted to keep the Sherriff's Office an ELECTED position! Apparently the County Executive(Constantine) didn't like that position and a few years later it was sent back to voters. They the elected to have the sheriff's position to be appointed. I just shook my head at the idiocrasy of King County voters!
to be fair -- without any way for the common Joey, Judy, and Jamie to stay informed (i.e. a working press/news) they only vote for their "team". Schools have dumbed down a whole couple of generations, and the media (including social) has done the rest. Then, add in making voting too EASY (although, it comes with bills that need to be ignored, too).
It used to be a point of civic pride to go TO THE POLLS, in your neighborhood and have your name crossed off THE LIST. Now..? No one knows what you do.
The whole concept of being a community is being lost to extinction.
Which is one of the great things about this Substack column... it's a voice crying out in the dark, with other voices replying loudly.
How do we get more voices?
Jeff will be pushing for voices at the fair, the big bulletin board in Blynn helps, and spreading the word!
Yes, Guaranteed the Clallam County commissioners want this very same thing. But HB 1399 would make that the situation statewide. It will be reintroduced at the next legislative session. Just look at the title "Modernizing, harmonizing, and clarifying laws concerning sheriffs, chiefs, marshals, and police matrons". The Dems in this state believe modernizing and harmonizing police means making them accountable to corrupt politicians only.
No!!! No!!!! No!!!! Please people wake up!!!!!!! Don't let this happen in our community.
Sherrif King needs to be held accountable as well. Who does he answer to? Who paid for his campaign? It doesn’t appear that he is apolitical, according to your report. It’s actually quite shocking to see him so blatantly sucking up to the Eberles.
So it seems to me we have a commissioner participating in the harassment by ignoring it. That alone is pretty fricking scary.
But do love how blatant it is for all to see.
Keep doing what you're doing Jeff this just shows how you are in the right track and we appreciate it a lot.
