I fucking hate Blanco. I live in the county he is in. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he openly reported to the public that he would not enforce the health orders the county was issuing. On top of that he had many, many of his deputies die in the prison system due to COVID, plus the jail system in the county has been criticized for issues under his watch. Maybe worst of all, he was a member of Oath Keepers.
I fucking hate this dude. To make the matters worse again, back in March, the Riverside County Supervisors voted against separating the Sheriff’s Department from the Corner’s office. Apparently there have been a number of unexplained(?) deaths in the jail system that the department has not investigated after receiving complaints from families.
He is one of the worst people in elected office in Riverside County. Somehow people keep voting for him.
Riverside and San Bernardino county area is known as “methamphetamine capital of the United States."
Interesting how often you mentioned that this person often actively does not investigate things. This due to their own reasoning being more important than the law.
Then apparently the county is also the highest in meth. I'm guessing that again they're ignoring things (e.g. reports) because of their own reasons. Which then results in way more meth than it could be.
If true, suggest to wonder why meth reports would be ignored...
