Go to ANY homeless camp and most will have warrants.
And drugs
The system works, sadly but it was designed that way tho.
I was homeless once. Had warrants. Fought and worked to climb my way out. Correct my mistakes. Now i have a home, 2 hot rods, a business. You think because of a mistake people are no longer worth anything? People like you make the world SUCK!
Look at how masculine that woman looks. She has more testosterone than I do. Men and women have been obliterated. Drugs and big agro are a factor.
World overpopulated hence my user name
"I know this isn't my property, and I just sit here shooting dope all day, and I also declined the offer for drug treatment, but the police coming here is just bullshit." You tell 'em, sister!
Defund police 💯
@@population-_-420shut up
haha the logic
@@population-_-420did you miss the facetious tone, or was that just piling on?
@@karlynn7719 did u miss voting blue November 2020
Only (1) person accepted assistance says all you need to know
The reason they declined the help is because they want to do drugs!!!
Canadian offer free drugs as long as they are under supervision.
Not everyone can get 40hrs week Felicia
@@population-_-420BS. There are resources for people who are not drinking/using
@@population-_-420 literally again shut up
@@population-_-420 why can’t they?
The property is ODOT’s. “ I respect that”. Do you?
Actions speak louder than words.
No they don’t
Pouring through? She was posted and has a warrant. Whud she think was gonna happen?
That fentanyl makes people STUPID.
And their sense of entitlement.
I was homeless for a minute. I took the help offered and now I have e permanent housing and don’t do crazy drugs. Go figure.
Like no way man ! Thats just a myth ! No way!
@@terenceflanagan1225 totally
90 % of these people ARE NOT FROM HERE
Well yall legalized everything so they came
I used to love going over to Portland. It was a gorgeous City. Lots of fun. Now it’s a trash heap
When my street gets cleared, I feel better. I sleep better. But the clear never lasts. I miss the way the city used to be
It’s just maid service.
..and you accept that.
Disgusting.
"I choose drugs over a sober, safe place to sleep" how does anyone have sympathy for that?
Book and release another junkie....WTF. Keep moving the two blocks every day until the city trash is gone. Citizens /taxpayers want our city back.
Can that happen to Ted Wheeler & Dan Ryan too. Move along.... No compassion for the "leaders" that have let this continue for years.
Keep voting Democrap.💩
It’s getting close to election time and the homeless camps and the current drug problem doesn’t look good for those running for re-election.
If you have a warrant, this means suspected criminal, and legal arrest authorized. What is confusing? Camp designated for cleanup, noticed provided. Also, authorized.
It's their sense of entitlement and your rules don't apply to me attitude. But they found out.
What a zoo, good luck putting the toothpaste back in the tube.
Exactly! Delusional Portlanders think it’s that easy.
Odor property? No tax payers property!!!!
These folks are clueless. Gosh, Get clean and get saved.
What if you don't want to get saved
Yep, the city is running out of time to clean itself up and start attracting workers and businesses back to the central business district. The city - and all its residents and businesses - and other Oregonians living outside the city who would just like to come in to visit and enjoy a clean and functioning city - can't continue to be held hostage by a small number of folks with serious issues living on sidewalks. Provide help, sure, but not by allowing Portland to be turned into something out of a third world country. City's gotta put the foot down and set boundaries of what's acceptable.
Isn’t it cute? The city making noise again? It’s really just maid service.
@@katiemccormick8846that’s a bad thing? The cities needed maid service since before 2013…
Vote Better, or quit crying.
Many street homeless die alone quietly abandoned by everybody. What's even more sad is their bodies get eaten by other homeless and stray animals and just disappear in that darkness.
@@jsioux056 Cheat by Mail for 24 years, so there’s that.
One corner clear, you got about a whole city left to go. This is going to take forever.
If someone doesn’t want to stop then it’s useless to put them in rehab they have to Really want to quit
When you're in this situation you should be required to accept help. Not as punishment but as assistance. Most drug addicts won't just 'decide' they want help. They must be pulled into it. I feel for these folks, but the fact is they are taking the city away from everyone else who lives here and pays taxes. It's not fair.
Vote Better.
IF YOU REFUSE HELP, THEN YOURE ON YOUR OWN, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF. REGARDLESS YOU CANT CAMP WHENEVER YOU WANT.
This started to be a real problem in the US in the 1980s when the Supreme Court decided that if they aren't a danger to the public or themselves, they could not be involuntarily held in a mental health facility.
This started being a problem in Poopland halfway through BO’s second term. Prior to that not so much as a stray plastic straw anywhere. Fundamental transformation as promised.
You know what else happened in the 1980's? Ronald Reagan.
For anyone with empathy.
Homeless are far from harmless. Once they are high, they have a sense of invulnerability. Then they crash, and become highly aggressive. When threats and fists start flying, prepare your attitude adjuster revelation. They don't feel pain initially.
There are a lot of documented mis use of involuntary commits. What's needed is accountability on both sides. Available by income rentals. Treatment and social services par with organize camp spaces. Registration of homeless to a city they stay in. Not all homeless are addicts. Yet many become one by being homeless. Having a safe place with responsibilities and independence ( not a jail environment but rules as any apartment or campground). Accountability of funds/ grants used in programs. A step process would be good. Like tent to tiny house to apartment for many.
@@napoliansolo7865 Nope. A liberal top heavy supreme court did it.
I would love to get in front of the camera and really tell the people of Portland what the real story is. I worked with these people everyday and the Stark truth is far from what you are hearing.
Don't face them with the facts...their 'minds' are already made up...
Here’s your chance to tell the real story is.
Me too. When I moved here, I fell right into the “ help the homeless “ trap. Worst experience of my life. One actually showed up at my house and refused to leave. Meth is a terrible drug. But there is soooooooo much help in Oregon if you want it. They don’t.
I doubt you could do that because you failed to impart any knowledge to us readers here.
TELL US PLEASE
The outreach worker looks like he be doing drugs too 😂
Sometimes they are former addicts who have gotten clean and want to help others do the same because they know it’s a better life. Good on him for trying to help the situation.
Most of them are burnouts.
They were at one point in their lives and most of them lived in the shelter and climbed out of it slowly
What a crazy thought I just had what if these HOMELESS people actually did something for themselves, play go to CODA or Allied and make that first step to get off fentanyl.. what a wild concept.... God how Blair Best constantly skips right over that question.. that mean most important nothing else matters until you do that first question come on Blair stop blaming the lack of these treatment centers you know nothing about get in there be a journalist asked them why they're not doing anything for themselves
He’s a good human doing what he can to help people, why insult someone actively fighting his own struggles with addiction on a daily basis? I’m sure it’s far more than you’ve ever done to help our community besides be a keyboard warrior.
Criminals crying for sympathy. They ruin a city.
They respect the law, but say it's bullsh*t.
The wonder of addiction.
wow those cops were "rampaging" hahaha,
How many billions will this cost us?
if they are offered free bed, sober space, and t hey said no, then they want to do drugs and aren't really homeless. Arrest them.
Depends on your city: in Tillamook there are 3 long term camps on the tidal sloughs, one camp has ad hoc buildings. Do they have a mayor? 🤔None of the camps have sanitation but are on waterways that connect to the bay. When will these camps be addressed as ppl live like feral beings?
Must be an election year
Just wait an hour or so and KGW will have a piece of "8 with outstanding warrants released after homeless camp raid". 🚶🚶♂🚶♀🚶🚶♂🚶♀🚶🚶♂🏢
All but one declined services bc they want to keep using drugs. Period. That’s the problem. Nothing is going to change someone who doesn’t want to change unless you force them to by placing them in an environment where drugs aren’t prevalent. Jail.
Does Portland have any prosecutors that will do their job? Any public defenders? Any judges?
Jail time? Can't have law and order without the whole package!!
No. We have a shortage of defense attorneys.
Keep voting liberal democrat and the society in your head will keep looking waaaaay better than the one you get to live in. Good Luck, and vote better.
What ? No there’s criminals in the homeless camps ?..
i can’t believe this !
I’m not going to donate anything anymore 👋
Election year
If their chose is to live that way, it's hard to feel sorry for them.
Damn, they’re everywhere
Watching Portland news is like watching a Mexican soap opera, you can miss watching for 3 years and get caught up to date in one episode. 😂
Just how TF is this news?? Fun fact, if these people can’t get their shit together here in our city, pretty much no hope left.
Honestly im all about cleaning up and actually helping out these homeless. But come on Portland, you havent given a crap in years now all the sudden theyre putting in effort.
its' not like they havent given a crap, they just haven't had enough staff to help, including Police. you are forgetting how many people, including police, abandoned this city after 2020...
....and you voted blue?
Go figure.
Rampaged , plowing, I love the street language
Making this city safe again 2 blocks at a time thank god. Soon they’ll be 144 blocks further from me and I couldn’t give much of a care
Better in jail than doing drugs on public property in my opinion.
Nobody forces you to do drugs, choose your addiction wisely. We are loosing our compassion and empathy for those that choose the wrong answer.
Vote Better. I know I wouldn't accept that trash.
They had warrants? OK. Done w news here
Progressive social experiment failed! Time to get things back to normal!get them help and off the street and drug!!!
Thet need to be held long enough to detox and the offered sober housing just before being released.
the homeless problem is here to stay none of these people can afford 2,000 a month rent .HELLO.
I guess lower income housing with bars?
that place is super dangerous
When going to the store to shoplift, why can’t the losers return the baskets & carts that they’ve used in the previous haul🙄
Who is shadow man?
The Shadow knows
How can a staye of emergency on fentanyl end? So its the funding that ends?
While the rest of the nations cities are finally seeing a decrease in crime, Portland’s has increased 171%.
The homeless don't want help they want to keep doing drugs the ones who got arrested hope they do time in jail and are in jail for months. These homeless people just out there begging for money and that ain't right they need mental health and alot of help these people that are homeless need alot of help but if the people don't want help then they need to be be hide bars for month or a couple of years then they may learn hopefully.
just another brick in the wall
Herpes
Meth scabs probably
They decriminalized small amounts of drugs and dont realize hard drugs bring homlessness and crime? 😂😂
This is the Song of Ice and Fire
Pat Benetar? Loved her back in the day
This shows the recovery of our society here in the US over decriminalizing certain drugs. Now with the open borders do we criminalize again with all the waves of certain dangerous substances and minds coming over the borders. Let’s get to work America and good job on the arrested warrant pick up. It’s crazy how things can be now in the situation nation wide… 🤟♾️😎 Thanks for the news.
Video needs more blue haired...nose ring...still transitioning people...
It's not ODOT property we pay the taxes on that property it belongs to everybody don't fall for your bulshit
Charley Hodges was just killed here at Wallace Marine Park, Salem Oregon because he was protecting a woman❣️
He was a sweet kid trying to kick his addiction resources are limited here.
Defund the police
Elon Musk could fix this overnight across the country 😊
How ? This should be rich. Im guessing because you perceive them to have wealth and influence. In 1910 Jp Morgan was responsible for 2 % of AMERICAS Gdp. Meanimg he was wealthier than Elon And Bill Gates and more . He basically ran the economy. He couldn't stop opium addiction. Try learning. You say less absurd things
Grow up

What just happened?
To quote @brailrice..
Yeah I understand your plight Oregon. I took my Rottweiler to an all you can eat buffet once. It didn't end well for anyone. Lesson learned
I empathize with those in the camp. I pray this unfortunate event ends in positivity. I just hope the outreach programs are more proactive and reach out to the camps before the police do. I think that will make the homeless individuals feel more like a citizen and less like a fugitive. In reality those on the run with warrants will benefit from this arrest being that now they can resolve their legal matters and hopefully move forward. ❤
🤡
The female news anchor is pretty
Shes got a restraining order probably. I would
Leave them alone
No hobo bill , and leave US alone
Biden's America
This is political incorrect.
Oh no ! Well anyway,
They are human beings, who are dealing with the sadness of alcohol, drug abuse and mental illness. All these people need is Love and to be guided in the right direction in life. God bless them all including the kind human beings helping them.❤❤❤
Oh God - Oregon becoming a carceral state again…. 😢😢
Lol democrats...
Dude there are so many redneck trump supporting opioid addicts I've lost count. stfu with your ignorant bs.
Homelessness is not a personal criminality; it is a societal criminality
You're full of shit, pigboy.
i dated magdeline lmao met her through rehab too extremely sad to see.
They don’t want help. They want meth, and only meth.
It's not ODOT property we pay the taxes on that property it belongs to everybody don't fall for your bulshit
