Make people responsible for their actions. Why do parks have signs warning us not to feed animals. Same with humans. Are they receiving aid so they can live off the public? Will we be like SF and let them steal up to $1000 without penalty.

Lysa Williamsen

The problem is not going to go away and most likely only get worse, so viable solutions is what we must do to keep Bend beautiful for us all including those less fortunate.

Solutions are NOT wild camping or tent camps in the city, managed or not but treatment centers for drug and mental issues!!!

Terri Holm

The “homeless” need to be screened so that the people that want and need help will get it. The people that “choose” to be homeless as a way of life and the evil doers need to leave town.

Psychiatric counseling, drug counseling and employment counseling. God helps those who help themselves. If they will help themselves, we are all there for them.

Judi Vanderpool

Believe both city and county commissioners have made it too easy for homeless to settle here. They need to take the city owned land in Juniper Ridge area and build the camps they’re wanting to put in neighborhood there. This is a problem they’ve created so let them use their land to fix it.

Jon Krutsch

Need to put some focus on root cause.130 person increase over last year with all the covid money and eviction moritoriums. What will the increase be when those programs are history?

James Grube

Stop enabling bad behaviors and consequences for bad decisions!

Ben Hargis

Enforce existing laws.

We need to follow the Utah model. Such camps, whether "managed" or not, should never be put near established neighborhoods or schools. They drag down property values and create danger for school kids. There is plenty of land in CO in which to place these camps where they won't infringe on anyone.

Would a conservative state government be the solution?

Ask this question in conversation!.......Why is it that having a slovenly-slipshod-dirty lifestyle reflection a prerequisite for most all homeless and their camps?

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 doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

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.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Jane CommunityMember

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.

Robert Spaet

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

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

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.

Robert Spaet

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.

Alex GERRITY

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.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

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!

Gerald Wonnacott

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.

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

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.
