Adina Flores And Shelby Pryor And Anger And Threats To Sonoma County

Sonoma, CA (Special to ZennieReport.com) Adina Flores And Shelby Pryor are a couple who lives in Santa Rosa, California, and of late, have established a rather unfortunate and counter-productive reputation for themselves in politics (see this website link passed to me by a concerned citizen who did not wish to give their name, even to me: https://adinafloresfacts.com/), particularly with respect to Sonoma Supervisor James Gore. So much so that this Oakland blogger felt compelled to weigh in on their doings from the perspective that they should check themselves before they wreck themselves. Upon closer inspection, it seems they’re already on the way toward doing that, and so, in the opinion of this blogger, a course correction is drastically needed – in particular, with Shelby Pryor AKA Shelby Dodson.

Adina Flores And Shelby Pryor’s Homespun Activism Sad 21st Century Adaptation Of 1960s Activism

For reasons that may have to do with their own economic misfortunes as much as any concern for the plight of poor Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color, Adina Flores And Shelby Pryor have become the latest to adopt a sad 21^st Century interpretation of 1960s activism. It says threaten, point, shout, and in general be unruly and disruptive, anti-vaccine and anti-tech – all with the wild idea that such actions actually bring about positive social change, but in reality negative and dangerous interactions. What you’re about to experience is a trip into a kind of never-never land that is by turns liberal, then conservative, and then just plain pugilistic.

It appears that Adina Flores has not held a good job for a long term. According to her bio in California Globe, Adina Flores “is a biracial civil rights activist, investigative journalist, advocate for natural wellness and former government employee based out of the SF Bay Area. By means of satire and hard data, Ms. Flores is inspired to bring transparency in politics to the people.”

Adina Flores Insecure Employment History A Factor

But the reality is that from 2013 to 2023, Adina Flores has bounced from one not-well-paying job to another (a habit that’s common for women below or just over 30 in America). That written, Adina is college-educated with an AA from Santa Rose Junior College and a BA from Golden Gate University.

Yet, even though Adina Flores’ Linkedin claims “Experienced Director of Communications with a demonstrated history of working in the hospitality industry”, her real experiences have no hotel listed; instead, she’s worked assitant jobs for a few months, with only a three-year stint as Chief of Staff at the luxurious The Fountaingrove Club, as any indication of employment stability.

Now, Adina’s 33 years old, a very good Freelance Contributor to the California Globe with no other job listed, except public figure. While Adina has at went from job to job every year and a half since 2013, the same can’t be said for her fiance Shelby Pryor, who also goes by Shelby Dodson.

Shelby Pryor Is A 14-Year Military Veteran Who Now Works For The Twerkulator Party Bus

A 14-year military veteran who attended American River College before serving our country, Shelby Pryor is 38-years-old, and for the last five years as held the role of account executive at The Twerkulator (a party bus company), and to quote a passage is “6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, and, as he put it, ‘super athletic and very healthy.’”

Shelby Pryor’s also prone to bouts of anger, and it would seem insistent on presenting a persona that at turns makes him look like a night-club bouncer, and then other times a frustrated man with something to say that he believes you’re not going to like, as he said on his Facebook page.

Shelby Pryor’s Background Contributes To Anger Issues

Shelby’s background and experiences seem to cause him to take actions that keep him from gainful employment beyond The Twerkulator. His cause, of late, as well as for his mate Adina Flores, is to be, of all things, anti-vaccers. The Press-Democrat reported: Shelby Dodson believes his vaccine hesitancy is unfairly being used against him. Dodson, who lives in Santa Rosa, was in line for a job with Eden Housing, an organization that develops or acquires homes for low-income qualifiers. His start date was Aug. 2. His compensation, he said, would include a complimentary two-bedroom apartment for him and his girlfriend. Then Eden Housing asked for proof of vaccination, a requirement Dodson could not meet. “I’m a person who believes I should live for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” he said, “which is literally what this country was built on. Or what it says it was built on.”

So, consider that Shelby Dodson AKA Shelby Pryor gave up a job with a paid-for two-bedroom apartment for him and Adina. At a time when many would give their right-eye-tooth for free housing, Shelby junked it only because he has an issue with the vaccine. Which means the well-being of Adina takes a back-seat to Shelby’s own personal beliefs.

That information leads us to consider a series of behaviors that have made Shelby persona non-grata in Sonoma County, and yes, all having to do with getting vaxxed, his legendary anger-managment issues, and words he uttered to Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore.

In April of 2022, Sonoma County won a long-term extension of a workplace restraining order on behalf of Supervisor James Gore. Superior Court Judge Patrick Broderick ruled that Shelby Pryor made a “credible threat” against the supervisor at an April 19 board meeting. The details of what was said aren’t as important as Gore’s reaction to them.

But the overall problem is that, as a number of people have observed and is clear from Shelby’s social media entries, he has anger issues.

The next question is has Shelby ever received a post-military psychiatric evaluation? Given the episodes where Shelby has said or did something he should not have, or completely blew a great job, it’s wrong for Adina to enable the worst in Shelby’s behavior. It’s also wrong for the California Globe to be seen as supporting his anti-social behavior. It’s giving him what, in his worst moments, he may see as an opening to be threatening to someone like Sonoma Supervisor Gore, yet again – and possibly with life-ending consequences.

“But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.” “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” – Colossians 3:8-17 ESV

Addendum: The Right Way To Address Disputes With Public Officials From LeAna Powell

In closure, the best way for people like Adina and Shelby to handle a dispute with a public official is to tell your story, and not make threats. That is what LeAna Powell did in bringing her tale of harassment and abuse by the Office of then-Councilmember now Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao to Zennie62Media. Here’s LeAna’s story, which triggered an Oakland Public Ethics Commission investigation that is still active over a year later:
