The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors honored the victims of the mass shooting in Half Moon Bay. Supervisors also pledged to improve living conditions for laborers at sanctioned farms in the county and to identify housing in unsanctioned locations.

The shootings took place in the county's District 3, represented by Mueller. He said he was in the district a year ago marching with farmworkers in support of victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and would never have believed that Half Moon Bay would be the scene of its own shooting a short time later.

He said the county needs more permanent affordable housing for farmworkers like the Moon Ridge complex that opened in 2001, as well as needing to work with farmers to upgrade existing housing. He also requested that a survey and report be compiled detailing how many Asian farmworkers were living and working in the county, saying that that figure is not well known.

The county activated its crisis response team to provide mental health counselors to those in need. It can be reached at 686-0101.

Half Moon Bay mass shooter Chunli Zhao may have been motivated by $100 repair billThe disgruntled worker charged with killing seven people at two mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay on Monday told investigators his shooting spree was prompted by his boss demanding he pay a $100 bill… Was it white supremacy!? I don’t believe it… the only reason people kill minorities is because of racism…. Joking aside, I think he overreacted for just $100.

$100 repair bill put Half Moon Bay gunman over the edge, prosecutor saysZhao Chunli is accused of killing seven people in a mass shooting that has highlighted the working and living conditions of California farm workers. The problem is men. If getting a bill makes you kill a bunch of people, the problem is you and people who have the same selfish anger. Amazingly, women don't act like that. The second shooting at the same farm over squalid working conditions, huh? The real tragedy seems to be 🍄 lacking quality to cross Gavin Newsom’s table at The French Laundry for him to care before this latest tragedy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Half Moon Bay farm to build permanent housing for workers after mass shootingAs investigators peeled back the layers into a mass shooting at two mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay, state and local officials uncovered cramped living conditions and allegations of low wages at the farms. This has been going on for decades, and I 100% guarantee there are other locations, even within San Mateo County, that are much the same. Yeah, thats coming out of their checks tho 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 we laugh but.. inhumane conditions… seriously, you think these farms would survive if they didnt have slaves? So are we NOT going to talk about the Asian shooter? What happened to StopAsianHate ? He literally deleted five Chinese farmers, there are no words, descriptions or pictures of these Chinese farmers. Instead, we are portraying the shooter as the victim of all this?!
