#1 Wow! Very frightening. The left touts itself as the big defenders of liberty and then when they realize they "ideals" have led to a society of criminals out of control, they resort to facist tactics such as this.

National guard in Chicago, road blocks in DC. Here's an idea: enforce the law, actually put away the lawbreakers, allow citizens and business owners to defend themselves and demand legal immigration, as these scofflaws are responsible for a large percentage of crime. What a mess these people have made.

#3 Eugene is known amongst us as Berkley North. There aren't many in downtown Eugene that I've seen that look like they can make it on the outside. It's kind of a daycare for disabled with Berkley disease. I say let them be - less trouble for everyone if they stay there.

#4 Do they have facial recognition cameras or something? Or are they relying on people to rat each other out?

#5 It's kind of a daycare for disabled with Berkley disease lol! Too funny.

I don't think we should ignore them though. They have always been such idiots that no one every took them seriously. Then one day we woke up, looked around and realized their mess was now our mess. Ingoring them is like ignoring an outbreak of syphillis.

#6 Until you are convicted you are innocent.
When you have served your sentence you are square with the man.
These are elitist assholes trying to homogenize Eugene to their definition of "the right kind of people".
Raise the cost of living to outlandish levels if you must, but don't try to pass laws against poor people, cause that's what this really is. If you steal $5,000,000 from your investors you are presumed innocent found guilty. If you drink 7 beers and drive home you are a goddamned criminal unworthy of due process.

#7 bigjim - excellent summary of our legal system.

The only thing I would add is that if you are accused you can kiss your money goodbye. Public defenders aren't paid to win.

#8 Judges were, and sometimes still are, lawyers. All the lawyers and judges in the courtroom usually know each other and often hang out together. Judges get a major case of the red-ass when you try to cop out and use a public defender. Its like you are failing to properly play the game, and it will cost you big in terms of fairness. They take care of their own before they think about superfluous things like fairness or justice. Believe me, I learned the dynamics of the process real quick when I was younger.

#9 Hope this ordinance doesn't catch on. Atlanta would be a ghost town.
