The Oregon government and local police force has done a HORRIBLE job at keeping crime down, protecting cities, citizens and federal agents. If they can't do their job, TRUMP WILL.

Oh yeah, Trump did a great protecting when he incited the riot at the Capital on January 6th. Then had the unmitigated gall to pardon his MAGA idots for their crimes. What a guy...
I usually spend a number of days each month in the Portland area, including downtown. Having worked in downtown Portland for many years, yes it's not what it once was. Having said that, it's definitely not a "war zone" and nothing like Trump and his minions would like you to think.

A bunch of crap from the Trump administration that hopes to incite a violent response that justifies the use of violence and military action. Illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. Get them out!

Because the exaggeration of conditions in Portland, LA, memphis and Chicago is nowhere near the actual events. He and his henchpeople including traitor dereamer are only creating a reason to occupy american cities and attack the democrats.

It’s a very small minority that’s causing a problem and for the most part, the marches are peaceful and none-combative. Portland’s problems, generally speaking; are the homeless sleeping on the streets and trashing the area, and not people marching in the streets.

people can walk around the trees
ReplyABSOLUTELY!!!! Reflect, love and consider our children's-children's-children's.........
ReplyOf course you keep the trees! How long have they been growing; longer than the trails. The path can meander around the trees. Bend is supposed to be a tree city, right?
ReplyTrees produce oxygen, intercept airborne particulates, and reduce smog, enhancing a community's respiratory health.
ReplyDo we really have to even ask this question... Can the designers not figure out how to go around a few trees? The trees are iconic and beautiful and deserve to be spared and shared.
ReplyI absolutely agree with the previous comment. They can work around the trees to make a path. Those are 2 very stately trees. The disabled folks for whom the path is being fixed would probably agree.
ReplyKeep the trees. Gonna knock down a beautiful tree just so you can walk in a straight line? Really? Figure it out. Don't take the trees out.
ReplyTrees are more important than the convenience of humans. This is not Idiocracy.
ReplyWhy cut down those beautiful trees when re-routing around them is possible?
ReplyWe already take out too much nature and replace it with concrete. This is Bend and half the beauty of our area is the abundance of nature interspersed throughout everything.
