This is news? Are you people serious? A man, on a bike, stopped for a vehicle violation, and they found grounds to search. Go figure. Sounds like more NPD gestapo tactics at work. Oh, and I am sure this man is responsible for all the copper thefts in town, thats slander, you just called him a thief you idiot.

No he was stopped for a Vehicle Code violation. From the story During the investigation officers said they allegedly discovered Bixler was in possession of methamphetamine. As far as copper theft well it is what it is. You never hear about a fully employed drug free person arrested on the subject.

Michael, since you insist on assumption and stereotyping when it comes to arrests I believe you have no grounds to complain if we start making assumptions about Republicans and stereotyping their behavior.
Unless, of course, you have no problem being a hypocrite.

Steve you are welcome to make assumptions about Republicans or any other subject you want. I will point out the Republicans in Government have no power at this point. Also if you can point to one Napa county copper theft suspect not on drugs or in possession of. When arrested I will shut up about it.

Maybe those among us who feel superior could try to take a moment or more to see life from the perspective of someone who (even from a position of pain or vulnerability) has too much pride to accept the stigma of being in need of the social translation of "the lowest of the low" homeless shelter or addiction counseling.
