It's up to the parents to tell their kids what the rules are. If the parents don't know then they should look it up. I see kids riding their bikes on the side walks all the time. Doesn't make it right.

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.

Both E-Bikes and Pedal Bikes need more control by Bend Police. Start issuing tickets instead of Warnings to violators and impound bikes for repeat offenders.
ReplyTheir should not be any bikes allowed on and roadway that does not have a designated bike lane or at least some shoulder space! It is dangerous irritating, problematic and they should not have any right, they dont pay any road tax, gas taxes, nothing! Totailly backwards!
ReplyYes. I bike but have seen a trend in riders ignoring traffic laws and safety rules. More & more the "elitist" mentality of riders, who seem to think laws don't apply to them. This is being exasperated w/new riders jumping into the e-bike craze!
ReplySafety measure just like for motercycles
