Tina Sampay does have a selective memory. She was not there the entire time from 9. a. to 5 p.m. every day. There is at least one day she arrived later. As previously reported, even when she was there, she walked in and out, clicked her pen more than taking notes.
If it is an opinion or coverage Tina Sampay likes, it is real; if it is not, she screams racism and judges people she does not know.

So loco decided to do some real journalism these days except the shit is irrelevant when you have the comment section open showing the ignorance of the surrounding community. Ryan Burns you should be fucking ASHAMED of this platform and I think LOCO comment section sheds a lot of light into why Josiah was killed by one of YALL LOCALS. You guys are intolerant, racist and ignorant and Ryan Burns you are too to stand by this shit. You don't give a fuck what happened or the vigil it is just a story to get
She says: "With limited media outlets in the area where HSU is located" - hahahahahahah, she has NO IDEA. We are the most over-mede-ed area I can think of. Papers, including a daily, multiple TV and radio stations that do news, LoCo, which is a hybrid, all using social media in addition, blogs... the truth is she wants this kid strung up from the nearest tree and hanged by the neck until dead, guilty or not, it will make her feel good, so that is how she thinks it should be. She should not be admitted to the college, she lacks basic understanding of the INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY which applies to ALL people in this country. (White included)
ReplyDeleteShe also refers to this area as a 'settler town' - again showing her ignorance. Arcata is a University town, and that spreads to McKinleyville, Eureka, Fieldbrook, Blue Lake, Trinidad - McKinleyville, as the bedroom community for Arcata and Eureka, is an amalgam of both. She has concocted her own reality. It's really very sad. A young man was killed and no one seems to want to find out who it was, they've decided they know who it was even when the evidence isn't there.
ReplyDeleteThe investigators have a big job on their hands, as many of the witnesses have probably gone home for the summer, some may never admit to having been at that party. It's all very sad and tragic. Making up stories isn't going to solve anything.
I just left these two comments on her blog. If she is intellectually honest, she will publish them - AND take a lesson from what I am saying, not spew hatred in reply.
DeleteI'm curious what her grades are at HSU. It takes considerable time to be a SJW, and have time for labs, libraries and leisure activity. Or be on the basketball or track teams. She seems to spend every minute of the day being a martyr for something that didn't even involve her to begin with. ~TMOB
ReplyDeleteOne more. From her own "journalism".
ReplyDelete"It is important to note that I am a recent journalism graduate of Humboldt State, who was also a reporter and editor for our campus newspaper. I have won various awards for my writings including a national award for a weekly column I produced, Slauson Girl Speaks.
I decided to take my own time and writing abilities to be an additional source of information for the public."
Look lady, you are not a Peabody award winner here (and I doubt you'd even try for one, lest you claim it's too racist or whatever). You're an arrogant opinion writer and seem to be hinging your entire career on a single issue. Thousands of people get "journalism" degrees every year, and you got one from a college in the middle of nowhere. You need to climb down from that perch you think you're entitled to and earn it first. And there's a lot of them that are far better at what they do than you. But keep working at it.
I used to have that attitude just after college; that my shit didn't stink and being loud and proud got me attention and respect. It didn't. That's just a figment of your Imagination Tina.
Also Ms. Sampay, you don't get to have "handles" or "monikers" in REAL journalism. Put your real name out there and have the cajones to accept what comes at you-accept some responsibility if it gets you a punch in the face, let alone a knife in the heart much like the young man that was on the receiving end of such. Especially if your journalism is well.....a shade of yellow. Until then, at least sit in on a few of the court appearances and frame your opinions on facts, not rage. ~TMOB
Not to mention a google search shows only one article. You are correct about using a moniker. No one seemed to have heard about her blog before she got mentioned for her rantings about this community.
Deleteshe needs to leave Humboldt county. she knows nothing, except her own big mouth that she likes to run on and on with
ReplyDeleteJohn Chiv you are a huge piece of fucking trash, you whitewashed low life moms basement living white supremacist klan dick sucker. The county is gunna have your neck and I'll be the first to parade it downtown and spit on your fuckng grave. I hope you die immediately from a car crash today. I hope your family dies one by one in front of your eyes while suffering a heart attack. I hope you truly die painfully and no one will be at your funeral cuz no One loves you
ReplyDeleteBig words from you anonymous. Scared to use your name? I didn't publish all your previous comments but this one I did.
DeleteJohn kill your self please
ReplyDeleteWhite people are the most evil race out of the human species, and you advocate for those Neanderthals. It's not even confirmed if crackers are even human. Whites are a plague on this earth and can only be eradicated by the truth. Which is that they are walking demons on earth, and anyone who advocates for them are fucking animals . Like you , you fucking bastard. These frackers still think of you as lower than them.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if racist or just trolling. ~TMOB
DeleteWow. And people wonder why you have to moderate comments.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed that the people who are full of hate and anger think they are a good person.
ReplyDelete^Agreed. Way to spread your love and light humans! (sarcasm)
Delete&& to John, I'm sorry you have to read such hateful statements directed toward you.
Spewing hate is only continuing the cycle of something that individual claims to want to see stop? A bit contradictory eh?
Fuck you rose, You're probably just white trash.. Why is it that every forested place that we know belonged to native Americans are all predominately white dominated areas ? Because white people bring disease and death wherever they go. Walking plague and I can't wait til society here has you out numbered and imprison you because your sunburnt skin. Back to you john you lying piece of shit. You're the worst journalist ever, that's why you have to go to Humboldt where all the ignorant crackers reside to spit your shitty fallacies. The truth will come out about you neanderthals and white dick lovers.
ReplyDeleteYou sound nice.
DeleteSeeing as we have a court date tomorrow chiv, for this type of behavior of you stalking and harrasing me online when I am doing a public service FOR FREE and you still wont stop, is sickening. It is ok as i am prepared to go to the fullest extent of the law in pursuing you and your antics. Stop posting lies about me or our time in court will not be over anytime soon. It is a shame yall are this OLD and have no sense of judgement or "journalism" ethics. What ever platform you have here for people to attack me means nothing because I know what I am doing is way more important than wasting time to slander someone. See you at court tomorrow. 2:00 p.m #ChivsDayInCourt #WontBeTheLast slow news day??
ReplyDeleteHave fun trying to take Chiv to the fullest extent of the law Mary. Shows how little you know about the legal system and freedom of speech. For me but not for thee, right? ~TMOB
DeleteWow, they're threatening you! For what? Reporting on the hearing? I figured since I commented here, it was only fair that I should post the same comments on her own post on the subject. Then I got an email demanding to know why I was harassing her. So apparently reporting (in your case) and commenting (in my case) is harassing. Funny. I would consider commenting to be engaging in communication with someone who claims to want to have a conversation. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to put on the record here that Mary Machavelli (who posted above using that name - [10.106.36.54] (mobile-107-77-xxx-96.mobile.att.net. [107.77.xxx.96]) - Mary Machavelli tls12732@gxxxx.com) is Tina Sampay ([10.106.36.54] (mobile-107-77-xxx-51.mobile.att.net. [107.77.xxx.51]) Tina Sampay tls127@humboldt.xxx - she responded to my comments on HER blog with a series of emails using those names. SINCE SHE IS ACCUSING YOU OF HARASSING HER, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT SHE CONSIDERS COMMENTING ON HER PUBLIC POST, ADDRESSING HER ACCUSATIONS AND CHARACTERIZATIONS IS HARASSMENT. For the record. Wouldn't surprise me if she is also 'anonymous'.
DeleteThanks Rose.
DeleteI had commented on her as well and tried to offer some positive advice. I had also commented elsewhere about her and the only information I used was from either her blog or her own statements on LinkedIn. She also replied to me accusing me of stalking her and such. While I am not a journalist, I have a background in research so that is what I do, research. I believe people have the right to all available information on a subject and if I can provide it, then I have a duty.
DeleteThomas Jefferson wrote that a well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to democracy. I don't think that a free press is the only foundation for that; I believe that we have our own obligation to inform ourselves, value the free press but not make it the only measure of what we know.
What is available on the internet may or may not be true but it is in the public domain. A writer can copyright his work but when it is public, the writer cannot control its usage.
The bottom line is, don't make something public unless you want to live with it for the rest of your (electronic) life.
Not to mention that if you put it out on any social media network, anyone with access to your social media postings, can share it with anyone else, including making it public.
DeleteI have seen & known a lot of people & it's been my observation anger hurts the person who is angry & science has shown that it is among the major causes of heavy stress.
ReplyDeleteI know I have a capacity for anger at some times & felt the rush it gave me. Made me feel strong & empowered. But the feelings of power didn't keep my common sense & no small measure of fear so I didn't act on it.
What I'm saying is I do have some insight into anger & rage but I've also seen the results of it. One of them is the inability to express the anger in a logical, reasonable manner. You don't have to go to college to know when someone in a movie makes a point with the right words. You don't have to have a huge vocabulary as simple language works better.
A vituperative rant only opens a person up to direct criticism.
My direct criticism is about the writer who expressed two wishes in direct conflict with each other:
"I hope you die immediately from a car crash today. I hope your family dies one by one in front of your eyes while suffering a heart attack."
Since I don't want to discuss your demise John, I'll use an fictious Mr. OH.
The writer wants OH to die immediately in a car crash.
The writer wants OH's family to all die before his eyes from a heart attack.
I don't know where OH's family is but if OH dies immediately in a car crash he wouldn't be around to see them ALL die before his eyes. From heart attacks. The writer doesn't say if the heart attacks would be sequential or simultaneous & we don't know which might be worse for poor Mr. OH.
If all of OH's relatives lived in one place & they all died instantaneously from heart attacks today, one might think that Mr. OH would not immediately go out & get in a car and thus be involved in a car crash.
I suppose if Mr. OH had a van & one relative wasn't feeling well he might drive all of them to a doctor & while in the car, they all die of heart attacks which he observed, & paying attention to them, did not pay attention to traffic & suffered the crash which made him die.
Poor Mr. OH. (actually I'd feel sorrier for the (fictious also) for the first responders & medical people having to deal with the deaths & accident.
I'm going to presuppose that there is one family member (a disliked in-law?) not there,in which csse I will feel sorry for the insurance company that will have to pay for all those life insurance policies.
Somehow this makes me think of both the film & tv series Fargo.
If I knew Mr.OH's family & everyone had been taken, then I would pray for them & be thankful that they had expressed their own faith & belief in prayer so that being taken suddenly while regrettable, could be seen as God's will. If Mr.OH had seen family members die then he no doubt would be praying and to die at such a time (in prayer) would not be the worst thing that could happen.
So in our fictional story about Mr.OH & his family I think rather than wishing them reunited with the Lord, a worse punishment for whatever sins the writer thinks they have committed would be to continue to live
in society today as it is with all the conflicts, suffering, insecurities & small things like bad coffee that costs too much.
And I would like to remind the writer that if his wish were granted, he would be guilty of being a mass murderer. And John Chiv could cover the trial of the murderer of Mr.OH and his family. And no doubt offend more people because that is what a reporter does. Not by design but by the intent to tell the entire story & submit it to the public so they can examine all the issues & make up their own minds.
Sampay is typical of the shrill sjw Can't Understand Normal Things crowd. She may not be intelligent nor likable, but she certainly is dispicable.
ReplyDeleteTina Sampay just posted another article on her blog.Now shes blaming Angelica McFarland for stabbing David Josiah Lawson.
ReplyDeleteIs this article true John ?
https://www.slausongirl.com/single-post/2017/05/29/Who-is-Angelica-McFarland-And-Why-Wasnt-She-Brought-To-Testify-In-The-Murder-of-David-Josiah-Lawson
If a person of color was being prosecuted on the evidence in this case this silly, immature, self-important dim-witted irresponsible little girl would be screaming her vulgarities out of the other side of her mouth. It would be a racist lynching. But of course, that's what she wants.
ReplyDeleteAnon, Tina Sampay is free to print whatever she wants on her blog. Just as you are free to make your own decision about anything you read. You need to make your own decision about what you believe, what you read, what is fact, what is opinion and what is speculation.
ReplyDeleteI report on court cases on my blog based on evidence presented in court.The Lawson homicide is being investigated and after the preliminary, there has been no new information presented by the APD, DA or in court.
all i know for fact, is that there is a killer out here among us and that should trouble all of us.
ReplyDeleteTrue anon but equally troubling is the shoddy investigation by APD and the people who left without talking to the police that night and those who made this tragedy a media circus from day one by talking to certain media before the preliminary had even started and are continuing to use the media as a distraction while the investigation is ongoing, people not related to David Lawson, the victim in any way.
DeleteDo you have a court date with a Mary Machiavelli, and if so what for?
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteIt is strange to me that Tina Sampay is a product of the same program that I graduated from. I know that the Journalism Department back at HSU has seen a number of deaths, including the amazingly good (and viciously strict) copy editing professor George Estrada, but I am deeply disappointed in the Jack's website and apparent lack of editing. I suppose, given that Tina is no longer at HSU, that perhaps the number of rapid-fire deaths in recent years may have left the department unprepared.
On the meat of the matter here, Tina Sampay claims that all of the comments here, on LoCo and around the web on the topic of Josiah Lawson's untimely death are racist. This is for reasons she cannot quite elucidate without apparently being overwhelmed with emotions, one of which may be fairly stated to be hatred. Aside from the irrationality of her disdain toward you and an entire skin color, she vituperates sickeningly and at the level of a poorly informed high school freshman. She demands that everyone adopt a position in which the only possible perpetrator is a white local. Loudly, as if the potential of that scenario had been negated. Why?
The brothers and other witnesses stated and testified that they had clearly and unambiguously - not - seen Josiah stabbed, and all of the Brothers United testimony described the other victim there, Zoellner, having been courteous and non-confrontational. Sampay still loudly screeches about white people. I find that to be a rather disingenuous and questionable position to hold. If Sampay has inside information, then she needs to inform the police. If not, then she needs to eat her hatred and consider that her byline would never be welcome anywhere outside of dubious racist/racialist rags. Her take on things is too skewed and full of ignorant and oblivious talking points from the depths of whole-cloth revisionist, fantasy-laden ethnic mythologies. She sounds about as sound a thinker as my fellow Latinos who romanticize the Aztlan-based propaganda in the absence of self-knowledge and in the desire for storied histories they can wedge their life narratives into.
Given the suspicious circumstances that met the responding EMTs and police, there are some who have gone into the deep woods and theorized a very poorly placed attack on Zoellner may have killed the president of the BU club. This is not the position of all the commentators, white or not. Nor is it the position that Zoellner is innocent just because no witnesses saw him, even in close quarters combat, with a knife, and none saw him stab anyone. Again, white or not.
I find it disturbing that someone so very hateful and spiteful would be allowed to attend, much less graduate from, my alma mater. The Jack is a typo-laden, incoherent, practically unedited disgrace. From what I have seen of Sampay's blog, she is definitely either a product of that LumberJack, or was one of its net negative influences. John, I hope she makes the mistake of overstepping her boundaries. I can think of no more effective way of removing such a noxious personage from the community.
Best regards,
A Different HSU Journalism Graduate
Refreshing, well written, and appreciated. Sentiments a fellow reader [myself] could not put into words.
DeleteThank you
Thank you A Different Journalism Graduate.
