People living in and around a giant treehouse on Portland city property are terrorizing neighbors

a reply to: Brotherman

I had a girlfriend who was a zookeeper when I lived in PA. Near our house was a little creek with a small footbridge over it. Teenagers would get drunk and make way too much noise there at night. My ex brought some tiger scat home and put it around the bridge. That stuff has a horrendous smell. No one ever spent too much time around the bridge again. 

Maybe that wouldn't really work in this case though. I imagine that many homeless are used to foul odors.

I didn't care that the kids were partying there. It was just being kept up by noise that bothered us.

My first thought was, if this were me, the quoted part, "They've actually shot at us from up there when my dog was barking," would be followed in the article by "And then we turned that treehouse into a structure fire."

yep
that would mean war.

i don't care what gas costs.

sorry officer must have been lightening.

what''s that sign say?
trespassers will be shot and if you live, will be shot again?

I believe you meant “Trespasser’s will be shot. Survivor’s will be shot again!”

a reply to: tamusan

They should be encouraged to go and live on the mayor's property.

I heard you can legally own a cannon.



this is all you'd probably need

They can always 'accidentally' drop some lighted matches near the treehouse.
If these homeless criminals can get away with crime , then so can they

While i feel bad for the couple in this story, the rest of your OP seems to look down on the homeless with pretty harsh eyes.

Not all homeless are deranged drug-addicted lazy grifters making a career of panhandeling. Many are down on their luck and take no joy in asking for money and help.

There's gotta be a middle ground between portland and "dont help the homeless, it only encourages them".

They did build a fence, but it doesn't seem like it is a deterrent.

If the squatters tree house is higher then the fence, then they have an unnerving bird’s eye view of the couple’s home, yikes ! Surveillance station, equipped with guns and a shown willingness to use them, what a friggin nightmare !

Since the Police don’t seem to put an end to this nonsense, maybe the “Greenie Brigade “ can chime in about their trash and polluting/damming a stream for personal use….nah…probably not, these criminals that have erected a Watch Tower to terrorize the neighborhood they’ve infiltrated ,they have no fear from those to afraid to call a spade a spade .Below the treehouse is a homeless camp and instead of turning that treehouse into a cool thing, it’s become the look-out and target practice platform for lunatics, threatening family and pets ( ultimate scum bag move )

Portland needs to make a decision ,are people allowed to build treehouse’s in public trees, with no oversight for safety ?
Does anyone declaring themselves victimized in some way, have a free pass ?

I'm an awful lot more cruel then what it appears but claymores with murder hornets the hornets wouldn't survive the blast and the ones that would may hurt the doggies, that would make me sad and have to put angry sea salmon with laser beams attached to their heads in the creek they illegally damned. If not the salmon well equipped then perhaps some low hanging fish trap lines with next to invisible hooks. If they had a rope swing I would grease if with a particular valvoline product and carefully smear down some almost powederd broken glass and hope they enjoy their day.

Assualt on my doggies it would be an all out war straight out of home alone because I am a childish asshole with a creative mind.

A trip wire puppy claymore..

Trip on the wire and the mine spews out a horde of dribbly cute puppies !

Just after they have eaten each others poo.

Flamethrowers are made for just this problem and they are legal.

Hey!

You guys all slate the elites for your imagined paranoiac population culling vaccine exploits and look ye here! You are treating powerless homeless people like garbage. No wonder they respond in a like manner. Everyone must defend themselves against such oppression.

You guys even say your dogs' lives are more important than human beings. You give the universe full jurisdiction to pay you back with karma. What happened to treating others as you wish to be treated? How can you dare say you have anything to do with Christ if your thoughts are this hateful? You must remember Christ's words are all about the inside of the cup, not the outside.

Now don't you think a more mature and healthy attitude might be to blame the system for making such a hopeless social situation? Who is responsible for this? It is not the homeless person. Nobody wants to be imprisoned in any kind of ghetto.

It may be that you yourselves are to blame somewhat too. How much do you value society and collectivity? If you are all about the needs of one you will be faced with the consequences of that, which you are facing increasingly with each new passing day. Evolution does not work like your minds do. You are the ones losing. It is right in your face now.

This whole situation seems rather just to me. It is a karmic balance, not pretty, but it is the reality we make.

We only heard one side of the story here. There are two sides to every dispute. I would be interested to know about all the complaining and lack of compassion from the moaning side too.

There are all kinds of people. We are all right in our own and everyone's faces. Let's face that music and learn to dance. There is no alternative. It is that or more of this, this, this. They will even invade Bill Gates' nation territory he is building for himself on all that lush farmland he's taking from America and many others like him are. All that farmland, all those potential crops gone to net zero starve the world while they have millions of acres of farmland they took with their billions.

If they let the masses go to hell. If YOU let the masses go to hell life will become so ugly it will not be worth living...no matter how wealthy you are. Your wealth will testify against you and make you just a bigger target to shoot at.

A few years back ATS would have championed these people as pioneers living freely off grid, now they champion the neighbors.

ATS has become far more middle class and far more suburban.

Heaven has boundaries. Hell has open borders.

I don't value these people trashing nature and if you spent the day cleaning up their mess perhaps you would have a broadened perspective as well.

a reply to: tamusan

I have read a lot of the comments and about all I can add is that Portland, (much like Austin, TX) is just plain weird. I am sure there must be some "normal" people somewhere in Portland, but I really can't be sure of that. As others have noted, it seems the citizens of Portland have voted for this and thereby brought it upon themselves. However its been my experience that once "The Party" takes over a jurisdiction, like a City, County or State, the results of any election are pretty much baked in so it's hard to really know what the people of Portland would otherwise really vote for.

As a result, I have pretty much written Portland off as a Lost Cause. It might be fun to visit from the safe confines of an armored Tour Bus however.

HAHAHA this is an amazing seethe post. Treating the homeless like garbage? LOL Anyone that shows up on your land and destroys property, shoots at you deserves to be treated like garbage.

We only heard one side of the story here. There are two sides to every dispute. I would be interested to know about all the complaining and lack of compassion from the moaning side too.

Yes let's here the side of the homeless drug addicts that shoot at people trying to live their life. I can't believe people complain about being shot at, I would be interested to know about all the complaining and moaning from black people about getting shot at by police. We should hear the police's side of the story.

It may be that you yourselves are to blame somewhat too. How much do you value society and collectivity? If you are all about the needs of one you will be faced with the consequences of that, which you are facing increasingly with each new passing day. Evolution does not work like your minds do. You are the ones losing. It is right in your face now.

I'm not losing anything, there are very few homeless around me and I am facing no consequences from them. You can claim were "losing" all you want, but were the ones working, supporting our families and procreating. Maybe you live in a big sh#thole city where YOU are facing the consequences of democratic policies.

I'd love to hear this "ATS" person (oh wait ATS isn't one person?) champion someone destroying nature and shooting at their neighbors. You've been sniffing your own farts for far too long.

Buy a dozen skunks.

If that doesn't work, rattlesnakes.

a reply to: AaarghZombies It is very sad. ATS used to be a place you could have a conversation. Without being called names and threatened. Now it is full of hate, and love for the ultra rich. It all about them never about a helping hand. Jesus once said, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Matt. 19:24.) I don't understand how someone can have so much hate in their heart. I openly boost about burning and setting bear traps and setting murder hornets on their fellow country men and women is so very shameful and unchristian like. I read somewhere that 60% of homeless people are Vet's. That is a lot of Vet's. Others are disabled. Disabled people don't have a lot of money. If their rent is doubled they will be homeless. I keep hearing people say that America is a Christian nation. This is obviously not true. If it were there would be no homeless, no hungry, no sick without health care. We would follow Jesus Christ teachings. But no America worships money and forsake God. Makes me feel sad for my country. I often Sit and wonder as I read post like these what would they say to God on judgment day.
