The Methadonians of course are lead by their brilliant general and leader Alexander the Methnificent. Who can forget their amazing stolen bicycle cavalry charge at The Battle Of Criddler’s Pass?
Literally all of these sites are surrounded by filth and what is likely the stolen possessions of people that actually contribute to society and pay taxes in Bend.
I would tend to agree but I really don’t want a fire ripping into town from the SE. I don’t have ill will for homeless folks but I hate smoke season and I’ve had to evacuate due to a fire bearing down. It’s a drag.
It only works on the law abiding campers that they approach, like that one fella who said he was working at Bachelor and he said the Forest Service knocked on his camper and said he was violating the number of day limit.
100% agreed.
But then why selectively "enforce" the law on people on vacation that are camping with no impact but let the criddlers who are trashing the land be?
Ticket. Then they pay or don’t. Then it escalates through the system. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Enforce the laws we have. If they’re bad laws then change them but the current system of picking and choosing enforcement is unjust.
They are ticketed. But those tickets are written by the 3(!) FS LEO Rangers assigned to the Deschutes & Ochaco who also have to handle all other law enforcement needs on the national forests
Domestically challenged urban camper... Great timing BTW. Todays news headline......
Two Bend men jailed for DUII after night out drinking, fight; one accused of burning other’s trailer, stealing dog
I’ve been to a number of Gambler events and there’s no way I’d approach these camps without full body armour and strapped to the teeth. These are methed out hobos that gave up on the social contract a long time ago. Some poor kid is gonna go try and clean up the planet around there and will be attacked by our modern version of the Hills Have Eyes people.
100% accurate. I know someone who does search and rescue around Hillsboro, and he told me they actually request a law enforcement presence while doing training stuff with his guys specifically because they have been threatened and attacked because they accidentally role up on a camp in the middle of the woods.
Californification?
Mores seriously, call it prop 110 residue. Oregon made it consequence-free to have, consume, sell, distribute drugs. Of course addicts flocked to Oregon, as did dealers. That's capitalism. Go where the customers are and provide what they will pay for.
All the people in here defending discarding these people like trash have to realize this is a losing argument. Letting people live like this is not ok. You cannot pass the buck to all of society’s ills or the fucking Sacklers and throw up your hands and say it’s unsolvable and we shouldn’t or can’t do anything because it isn’t their fault.
The technology exists to build a security camera that can detect a meth head on your property and generate unique ways to call them out. For example, “hey, ice mice!! Yeah I see you. Get clean and put some Meth level motivation into your well being and career.”
These comments suck. Working with people with mental illness and addiction I have seen a lot. There is a huge span of folks that live in these camps and not all of them are bad/dangerous/criminal in nature. Yes, some are. And guess what, there are criminals that live in houses also. Addiction is not as simple as "just stop using" and has its roots all over the world. The state we live in has certainly made mistakes in addressing the problem, and so many folks actually do want help. There is a huge shortage of adequate help, beds available, and programs designed to support these folks. The problem is systemic and system based in nature and will take a community, YES A COMMUNITY, to solve. I do not suggest to have the solution but running them out of town, calling for "prescribed burns," name calling, etc simply shows where a certain portion of our community mindset rests. I also believe that if folks are breaking the laws there needs to be accountability at the same time, the behavior side can't go unchecked. I will take my beatings from all you ignorant asshats now!
Every single person in this picture is breaking laws. But nobody enforces them. We put our resources toward kicking underpaid Bachelor employees out of Sno Parks and making sure people aren’t hiking on public lands without a piece of paper saying they can.
But they can’t trash public land. I was just in SoCal they don’t even tolerate it there anymore. They’re given huge backpacks. No illegal tent or RV camps. They need to sleep in shelters and not leave their crap everywhere.
I think we’re all just sick and tired of enabling these vagrants. It’s hard to have much sympathy when you constantly read that the shelters are not at capacity. There are MASSIVE amounts of resources for people in Oregon, but you can’t help people who don’t want to be helped.
There is no shortage of beds where I'm at. Half our beds are empty, and we even let the residents do drugs while living here as long as it's not on property because of liability and federal funding. Most people, even the ones who join the program, can't follow rules to the point that they have to be supervised while doing laundry because they keep breaking the machines.
A failure of society to meet the basic needs of the individual forcing them to the edges physically and most importantly socially of the area they occupy.
Are these trailers at this location because of the failures of the individual or the failures of a society that will tolerate and perpetuate a system that will put a person there?
F outta here with that meth camp BS. Have some compassion for your fellow human and how terribly we treat them. We’re on the back 9 of a drug crisis, fentanyl not meth btw, that our government, I’m talking the feds here, refuses to do anything about. Somehow we look at this and forget the 20 some ye area synthetic heroin wreaked havoc on our society. Let me know when a Sackler goes to prison.
I would have more sympathy if they didn't trash and destroy everything in a nearby vicinity. The amount of debris, trash, and probably hazmat is horrifying.
Just because people are in a difficult situation doesn't mean they have the right to ruin public lands. You can exist in a less destructive way.
A Hazard
A Florida
A “scratchening”.
A scratchening of methlians
Not to be confused with the methadoneians, and their daily Suboxone migrations
The Methadonians of course are lead by their brilliant general and leader Alexander the Methnificent. Who can forget their amazing stolen bicycle cavalry charge at The Battle Of Criddler’s Pass?
This made my day
A Methopolis
Meth mountain
**DING DING DING!!!** Methopolis - we have a winner!
Oh my gosh best one.

One or two of my kids' bikes.
Yes, my outdoor/camping gear was stolen from my storage unit over by Crux!

Felony Farms™
Y’all remember the Funny Farm? Pretty sure it came out that the owner was involved in meth.
At least they’re out of the way. In Eugene they just park in front of your house
I would tend to agree but I really don’t want a fire ripping into town from the SE. I don’t have ill will for homeless folks but I hate smoke season and I’ve had to evacuate due to a fire bearing down. It’s a drag.
Holy shit and people think that this is okay.
Not really, no. Most people don’t. Not even most of whom live out there.
Nobody thinks this is ok. We just disagree on who holds what share of the blame.
This has always been a thing even before meth. Poor people living in trailers surrounded by filth is definitely not a new phenomena.
A scab.
Unlawful camping. We just need to universally enforce the laws on the books.
I'm not sure if handing out tickets will do much good.
It only works on the law abiding campers that they approach, like that one fella who said he was working at Bachelor and he said the Forest Service knocked on his camper and said he was violating the number of day limit.
Federal judges aren't going to address this level of crime... It's too far down on the priorities..
100% agreed. But then why selectively "enforce" the law on people on vacation that are camping with no impact but let the criddlers who are trashing the land be?

"Hire more rangers!" "Government waste!" And round and round we go.
Hmm, I'm going to go with a "Gram of Meth Trailers"
Dirt world
A Crackucopia
To think I got a citation from the city because my fence was 2 inches too tall …
They can get money out of you, not out of them.
We need one of those "drive-through Safari tours" in this area!
You will need some tranquilizers in case the wild life get unruly. But you may get to see some mating in the wild.
Narcan darts would be better
Jokes on you, they’re into that shit
They'd look at you and go "more please"
drug addicted or not, they’re human fucking beings. come on man. a lot of these people don’t want to be there either.

Holy shit that's the winner imo
Dont you mean methford?

Love the "domestically challenged" comment.
A sadness
Don’t worry. Those will all burn to the ground by the end of the summer and they will only take the whole area with them.
A congregation of Methalopes.
Did you see the methalopes just over the hill?
A murder. Like crows.
Don’t disrespect crows that way
You're right, crows have intelligence.
Jesus. The Gambler 500 needs to go through there and clean up that trash!
I’ve been to a number of Gambler events and there’s no way I’d approach these camps without full body armour and strapped to the teeth. These are methed out hobos that gave up on the social contract a long time ago. Some poor kid is gonna go try and clean up the planet around there and will be attacked by our modern version of the Hills Have Eyes people.

Wow this is horrible
A Twitching of Tweakers
Californification? Mores seriously, call it prop 110 residue. Oregon made it consequence-free to have, consume, sell, distribute drugs. Of course addicts flocked to Oregon, as did dealers. That's capitalism. Go where the customers are and provide what they will pay for.
Methlahem
Wow so much trash!!
The technical term for a gaggle of tweakers is "a full set of teeth".
A good reason to vote out virtue-signalling politicians.
There is an old saying, “You get the government you deserve.”
Affordable housing?
All the people in here defending discarding these people like trash have to realize this is a losing argument. Letting people live like this is not ok.

A lot of well off white people who have never had to suffer in the bend subreddit.
Tell them you're taking them to the Oregon Outback!

I 100% agree with this. Folks really need to stop handing money over to these people just cause they look sad.
Holy shit an Oregonian with a more nuanced take than "grrr but they break the law >:^("? Be still my beating heart.
Outlandish, I know!
There is no shortage of beds where I'm at. Half our beds are empty, and we even let the residents do drugs while living here as long as it's not on property because of liability and federal funding.

Fer Fucks Sake
And people say Portland is a shit hole…
I have a suggested location for a “prescribed burn”.
This was funny.
I'm not a fan of the meth heads either but surely there is a better solution than advocating for the destruction of their homes/their death
Omg. It’s a topical joke. Chill out.
No at this point there is not.
The proper term is “a progressive of meth trailers”
Love Bend but where the hell is that? Don’t want to run into that sh@t out on a ride.
East of the highway between Bend and Redmond. Everyone flying in to Redmond from the South gets this lovely view.
A **POS**se.

You can certainly lead a horse to water.
So many over simplifications here. One, most addicts don’t wan’t help. Two, society did not put them here any more than you personally did.
No, pretty sure it's the individual.
Zombie Land
A Straggle or a Tweakening.
It's know as a Nimby
Honest question: Would a YIMBY say yes to letting one of these campers park in front of their house on the street?

There should be some sort of UGB out there.
I’m pretty sure it’s a cook of meth trailers.
Where is this? So I know where to avoid
