The woman arrested today for refusing to leave the command area is a well known local activist

The woman in the Lost Coast Outpost coverage on Palco Marsh today is "Holly." I have known her for a few years and do know her last name but will not print it.

Her name is now listed in jail reports and it is Holly Klingel, the woman who was arrested yesterday, for resisting arrest. She is charged with a misdemeanor PC 148 (a) 1.

She was released today on O.R. to herself.

Holly is active in the community, for several causes. She is one of the Women In Black. She attends Board of Supervisor meetings occasionally, has volunteered time for the local Democrat events and has written letters published in the local media.

Nezzie Wade being denied a press pass, only being reported so far by Andrew Goff in his LOCO coverage), is a joke. She is not a member of the media and wasn't before today; she does not get to claim to be one, just for today. Especially for an anonymous paper. There are minimum requirements for who is considered press. Nezzie Wade does not meet those requirements and any member who has worked for media should know that information. Nor could that information required to verify if Nezzie Wade meets the criteria be proven instantly, on demand.. What proof does the Humboldt Edge have of subscription or advertisers? Who is Humboldt Edge? Anonymous works in comments, not when you claim to be a business or press.

Not to mention that her involvement with AHAA is a blatant conflict of interest.

With the exception of a few campers, the only agitation seems to be coming from the advocates. Are they housing anyone? Are they helping anyone move? Or is "discrimation" being played up for media that may be sympathetic?


They were given notice, ample resources and help was offered, the City has a legal ruling to evict those who won't leave voluntarily. The police and other staff are being respectful, so what's the issue besides those burning and protesting breaking the law?
