Yes, if the feds leave brown and wheeler should bring in the national guard

Michael Miller

The destruction, violence, and anything that constitutes "riot" needs to end. Peaceful protests need not end.

Jo Kendrick

Criminal activity is criminal activity and has to be stopped. The Mayor needs to grow a backbone.

John Philo

They aren't protests they are riots and the riotous perps should be in jail for the crimes.

Nancy

We all agree on Peaceful protests. However these protestors just want to destroy property, Homeland Security has the power to defend a Federal Building (Section 40 USC 1315) Recall Kate Brown!

Heidi Owen

Let the business owners have a crack at those idiots rioting,looting etc. That's nothing to do with equality,anyone who thinks it is(kate ,wheeler) , are complete dumbasses

Janet Rawlings

Let’s do something constructive to makes changes.

dave klym

Peaceful demonstrations are fine, but ANTIFA's riots should never have been allowed to start. The PDX Mayor, City Council and Governor should be held accountable for all the injury and destruction.

Joseph Wick

they do not even know what they are protesting

Marcia Y

Enough is enough Gosh, people who vandalizes other people's property who cares whose it is needs to be arrested if it's my property or your property or the governments they need to be arrested..period

💛🖤 RAG 💛🖤

ENOUGH Rioting, burning and destroying property!! Portland is getting known as Oregon's HELLHOLE allover the world! Who would want to live in a city with an incompetent mayor and governor !!!

Nancy

The train should be destroyed. This man who made the train is a convicted sexual predator and his train should go to the dump. Please listen to this young lady, her life matters!

Terry Whitted

They should never been allowed to start.

Jodi Dwyer

Domestic terrorism is illegal. Peaceful protesters is one thing, what is happening in PDX each night is criminal activity. Tax payers should not be held responsible to pay for revitalization.

I think it's one's right to protest. If people want to continue protesting it's their right.

Peaceful protesting should continue if desired. No more rioting, looting, graffiti, etc. Respect for the police and property. The storm troopers must leave. Only good trouble.

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

Richard Williams

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Joanna Lee

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

Shane Murray

The homeless have trashed the forest out there. It makes me sick

Greg Deadbolt Leach

Time to move these people to the Attorneys and Judges front lawns!!!

Karen Thrower

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

Jeannie H.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

Nancy

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

Lynn Marie Leehmann

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

Brad Aimone

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

Nancy Roquero

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

Lisa York

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

Debbie Boyd

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

pamcuny

I worry every year WHO is in the woods starting fires, whether deliberate or unintentional consequences…

Tammy Salka

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

Jeff Sanders

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

Latterdaysaint

There needs to be more homeless shelters in the city!

Kim Kahl

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

steven

I just heard the recording. He lied about lying. Gotta go.

David Kline

Sad to see this happen.

Susan Kate Mayer

Good job DA! Glad someone is doing their job

Ceiling Cat9001

Recall him.

Michael Hickey

Why is he still in this position, come on Deschutes Co. This is pathetic.

Laura Wattenbarger

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

Anne King

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!

SunnySunshinestein

He needs to resign.
