A shocking visual representation of radicalized progressive policies. @tarafaul503 were absolutely speechless over the devastation. The land is owned by the state and has been managed by the county. Both notoriously radical. They have knowingly allowed hundreds of
homeless to live in these woods for many years and have completely ignored the destruction. It is both heartbreaking and infuriating. I spoke to former Troutdale Mayor @RandyLauer (population 15,000) that borders the park who expressed his frustration with the county and state.
“Despite their repeated attempts to gaslight the public, the destruction of our natural green spaces and the utter disregard for shared community lands on state and public property is undeniable” As mayor he simply had no authority to do anything, but desperately wanted to.
In 2021 I took the Mayor to thousand acres to show him for himself. He and I desperately try to raise awareness with a public, but the state in the county continued to downplay the devastation. He and I were inspired to make videos after a faithful day only weeks before
when he and I and two other mayors were invited to tour thousand acres with the county. It only took ten minutes for us to know something was wrong. Not only did they not show us and mess and kept us at the very front of both ten perfectly clean camps but they told us
there was absolutely no drug use or children in the area. He and I of course returned soon and proved otherwise. “They are either willfully blind or too ignorant to acknowledge the deeper issue of rampant drug and alcohol abuse -Randy Lauer
Not only that is there’s always been a major criminal enterprise going on in this huge park. This for example example is a massive illegal chop shop.
The only actual enforcement Tara I found was a no dumping sign which it appears was not really read by anybody.
Scattered throughout the thousand acres of chaos are multiple burial sites. I’ve been told by dozens of homeless there are hundreds of people buried in 1000 acres. This makes sense, considering people have been living in there for many years. This two has
been denied by the county, but I highly doubt they thoroughly check the area. In 2021 a young homeless man and his mom walked me through the deep bush and after about a half hour I found multiple holes dug out. To this day, I
have no idea if these are actual burial sites but if not, I’ve always wondered why them dig the holes? There are no official roads in this massive park yet we found abandoned cars. It’s amazing how the people that manage this area would allow even that.
There are always three things you can count on with progressives and the issue of homelessness. They will always exaggerate how many Homeless there are in order to get a bigger budget, they will always
downplay the destruction caused by the homeless and if you ever question anything from them, you’re either a racist or a fascist .

Warning Graphic. A young homeless woman overdosing on fentanyl twenty minutes after Harm Reduction activists came by and handed out pipes, foil, straws and alcohol swabs. I don’t know if they gave anybody Narcan, but when we realized the young lady was dying. I was the only
one there who had it. Her face pretty quickly turned purple and she became completely unresponsive. A few others around her were also nodded out and I credit her friend for noticing her purple lips. I called 911 twice and it was hard to reach them. After a few minutes of CPR and
chest rubs we gave her a second Narcan. Echelon security showed up and assisted. It wasn’t looking good as it was taking forever for her to respond to the Narcan. It looked like she was going to die for sure. Everyone took turns doing CPR and finally after about 5-7 minutes
I interviewed a homeless man selling his methadone. Methadone is a prescribed opioid distributed by the county to drug addicts. It’s used as a substitute to street drugs with the ultimate goal to taper off and get clean. A methadone client has to
show up five days a week and drink it in front of nurse. On a Friday you are given to additional doses for the weekend because methadone clinics close. More often than not those doses are then sold on the streets so the user can buy their preferred opioid such
as fentanyl or heroin. This practice is extremely common. I am probably approached five times a week by random people asking if I want to buy their methadone. Many addicts go on methadone not with the intent to get clean but to score free drugs, which
When did we stop caring about the environment? One thing the Pacific Northwest had always been known for was its beauty. Over the last two decades, though turned into one large trash dump. It
happens slowly that many people didn’t even notice until it reached a point of unmanageability. There are many reasons that happened, but I believe the number one reason is radicalized progressive policies. By turning Oregon, Washington, California. Into mostly lawless states
and with lax policies on homelessness and drugs, it’s no wonder where we are today. Incredibly the very people that got us into this mess insist they are part of the solution. The voters seem to agree despite the truth, literally in front of their faces. I have to wonder
Homeless man with his face painted as the joker uses a drumstick to place a spell on a young pregnant addict, causing her boyfriend to try and stab him with a syringe filled with heroin. This was all happening as @tarafaul503 and and I were interviewing a 20 year
old across the street who’s newly Homeless and not by choice and had just been attacked by a man with an axe who was not happy that he stared at his bike. A great example of just how insane the streets are sometimes. Tara and I have broken up dozens of fights which we can do
because we know almost everybody out there and feel comfortable enough to get in the middle of the conflict. In this case, Tara pushed a man away, who had just kicked another homeless man in the head. This is what the streets do to people. We are going to try
I tied up emergency service for an hour. While driving home, I heard someone screaming under a bridge. I investigated and found a developmentally delayed homeless woman with some kind of leg injury. I called paramedics and then kept her company until they arrived. She
told me she’s been homeless since she was 17 years old and is now 41. Paramedics arrived, and she became ambivalent whether she wanted to go or not. She crawled out from under the bridge and started yelling at the paramedics. She refused help and limped
away. I tracked her down and she gave me a poor excuse on why she said no. It’s no one wonder emergency services are overwhelmed. I wonder how many people refuse services after they’ve arrived. I don’t regret calling 911 because her leg seemed pretty serious and she requested help. The
Homeless sweeps are big business for the Homeless Industrial Complex. Portland conducted a major homeless sweep yesterday. Approximately 90% of the homeless I observed dragged their tents exactly two blocks away. Three clean teams were involved from three different
agencies, a Portland outreach team and a few police officers. I would calculate the sweep cost about $30-40k when you consider there were at least forty employees involved from various agencies, insurance, dump costs, etc. As for positive results, I saw none other than
the area the homeless were in were now in another area two blocks away. They will remain there for about a week get posted again and three days after that will move back to their original spot. I could not find any homeless people that got indoors. I did observe
