Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!

Continued mistrust of government's motives and their neglect to uphold our laws and lack of support for our constitution and bill of rights.
ReplyDefinitely more divided. With how much legacy media lies and stirs people up with fake info, I'm not surprised. I can't wait until legacy media gets canceled and we can start having conversations again.
ReplyI am looking forward to the 2022 midterms when Republicans take the House and Senate. I hope they have no mercy on the evil and corruption in our current government. The democrat rats are leaving the sinking ship by the dozens.
ReplyBecause the GOP leaning folks tend to invent their own reality when logic, reason, and science disagrees with their demagoguery.
ReplyLets be clear it was definitely NOT an insurrection or coup attempt! And why are the 500 plus riots in Portland, Seattle and other big cities, investigated and tired and jailed for burning police stations and so much more, they were slapped on the hand and let go! Antifa was Was parrt of D C riots.
ReplyIf there's any doubt about how divided we are, read some of the claims in this forum then compare them to facts.
ReplyIf Biden wants to unite the country.he should fire fauci because he is putting fear in people and trump had nothing to do with January 6th
Replythis is the governments main Job these days last year that is the only thing they have accomplished
ReplyLook around...
ReplyEverything is political these days. Even the virus is political. Nothing about the virus should be political.
ReplyWe have a party system. We will always be divided as long as we stay with our current government system. And as Americans we are too stupid amongst ourselves to overlook differences.
ReplyWhat a question. Of course, the country has become more divided because some really ignorant, and just plain stupid individuals who believe the bullshit put out by T. This country is deeply in peril and those who support his lies do not even realize what they are doing to contribute to it.
