Steven Daniels you have got to be kidding. You compare 4th of July traditions with slavory and gay marriage? The 4th of July is a celebration of the founding of our country.

Yes I will miss the enjoyment of our neighborhood getting together in the street with simple fireworks for the kids, remembering and talking about our Independence and why we support and practice this event.

I don't see how fireworks will cause a fire if they are done in a parking lot with no trees around, stupid ban by a liberal unpatriotic city council

They wouldn't have to make a stupid ban if stupid people would use them responsibly. But that's asking too much of republicans like yourself.

No, I won't!

They are an unnecessary and wasteful form of entertainment. They are often a PTSD trigger for many combat veterans. They are a sensory trigger for people on the autism spectrum.

Protecting our land, wildlife, and fellow humans with sensitivity to explosions is by far more important than the entertainment of the few.

They are dangerous and many people that use them are disrespectful towards other people AND their property.

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 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!
