In this state you are allowed to defend yourself, your family or your property by using any means of reasonable force. They bring four car loads of people I say that's a gang and start firing, seems like a suitably reasonable thing to me...

I think the problem is that you are actually on Indian land and not CA land
Any one that dose business whit the Indians are fools
Stop going to there casinos
Shit stupid Californians we let them have casinos it was suppose to get them off the dole
But just like all Calif. laws we got ****ed and the low rents won
The area in debate is a very small area on the river. Like 15 miles. Its not all of blythe. We had a trailer in this part for over 15 years. We just recently got out of it because of the ****ing indians.That was my favorite place in the world.
Ive been to tribal court,not by choice, anyone who thinks they have a shot at winning against these ****s has another thing coming.Even the west bank home owners, they are all ganging up on the indians, that will only piss em off. The indians are uneduacted people who will retaliate when they get upset, even if they are ****ing themselves, they dont think about it or care.Retaliation is first.
Ive had more problems with these assholes then you can ever imagine. I cant even tell you how many times we would get a call from the locals out there saying eviction notices have been issued, come pick up your toys,your house is going to be leveled in 2 days, only for it to be a false alarm, its happening again right now out there, im just glad we are not going through it again.
The only way to be safe from this type of shit is to be in a resort like twin palms,aha quin or water wheel. They pay the indians and your place isnt going anywhere.Expect to pay big bucks there too.
I hope it works out for the West bank homeowners.I dont want them to have to go through what I did. Its no fun.
Don't get me wrong on this issue. It's not that I don't think Native Americans don't deserve a lot of things they get now, and are all bad people. Matter of fact, my wife, kids and grandkids are all registered with the Cherokee Nation.
My beef is with THIS Tribe. CRIT is not a Tribe, so to speak. It is a mixture of Mohave, Navajo, Hopi, and Chemehuevi. The Navajo and Hopi are Native to Northeastern Arizona, in the 4 corners Region. Mohave were nomadic and never really had a land of their own.
The Chemehuevi were placed here after their (supposed) homeland was innundated when they flooded Lake Havasu after Parker Dam was built. When some Chemehuevi found out there was still part of their "reservation" above water, they went back and reclaimed it, even though they signed it over to the US Govt. for getting land here in Parker. They've already kicked a lot of people out of Havasu Lake Resort when they raised their lease payments, or just didn't renew the leases.
The individual CRIT tribe members pretty much hate the other tribes. Hopis don't like Navajo, Navajo don't like Mohave, and everybody hates the Chemehuevis.
My wife works at the Indian Hospital, and hear's all the stories. It's actually amusing at times. It's also sad with the amount of alcoholism, drug abuse, family violence, diabetes, suicide, illiteracy, etc. that's prevalent on Indian Reservations. Those troubles are a direct result of our Government "taking care" of them.
Do I think they deserve some accomodations for past wrongs? Well, my wife's great-grandmother (x2) walked to Oklahoma from Tennessee in the Trail of Tears. She was one of the lucky ones who survived. 2/3 of the Cherokees, Choctaw, Creek and Chickasaw weren't so lucky. If that 7 year old didn't make it like so many others didn't, I wouldn't have the family I do now.
So, yes. They are owed something. We took their land, their culture and destroyed their very being. We made them into a ward of the Government. Indian Reservations are the only true form of socialism active in the US, and it's an obvious failure. If they can make it off the public dole through enterprises such as Casinos, land development, and any other legal means, more power to them. But as they begin to prop themselves up, we have to wean them off public money. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
As far as CRIT, their leaders are nothing but a bunch of crooks and thieves, who are only in it for themselves, at the sake of their own people. How much money have the CRIT Tribal members received from the Casino? $500.00. Yep. Five Hundred Dollars. And that was more than 5 years ago. They can't give any more to them because they mortgaged everything they had, including the Casino, Big River, Moovalya Plaza, Aha Quinn, Big River, etc. for 25 Million bucks to fund a doomed Gambling initiative in 2000.
But the leaders and their kids are all driving around in new cars, SUVs, have new homes, while the members live in run down trailers and project tracts.
is'nt the AVI up in laughlin, on reservation land?
if so...that is the new reason why im not going!.. yeah, thats it!
This whole indian thing sucks. I have a guy working for me who is classified as indian and gets all sorts of freebies because some ancester bought or lied his way onto the indian rolls long ago. My wife and her sisters are 1/8 indian, but do not qualify because their grandfather would not keep the records of their heritage.
I have an uncle who is full-blood cherokee and several half-blood cousins, but the system is so screwed up, that I think it needs to be abolished. The majority of the indians are being screwed by crooks and their so called leadership.
Where is Paradise point at in Blythe
