I can understand opposing this but fighting by being savages is gross. I truly hope its just a protest and doesn't become another riot.
"We want to protect the forest!" But set heavy machinery on fire which is going to pour toxins into the air? Have all the gas, oil, antifreeze pour out into the earth? Spread garbage and trash all over which will go into the forest? Attack innocents who havent done anything? Yeah I'm all set joining THAT kind of protest.

Do you perchance have a study for that? Or just talking out of your ass?

Everybody here seems to have been demanding better training for police and now are condemning a new police training facility. Morons.

Yeah I thought it was a pretty special little “undiscovered” little hamlet. This post shed light on blight that I didnt actually visually witness so I think it’s grown up from people’s memories in the area.

I dont know much about your state (Im from Mass) but I found BF to be a really charming little place that might’ve experienced some progress since how you remember it.

Thankfully didnt smell any sewage whatsoever nor did I see any of the dilapidation you mentioned. Sounds like the town USED to be more rundown than it is now. I didnt see any addicts, or teenage pregnancies lol

I had a similar situation in CT recently. I was even close enough to the cops to get their attention and gesture while mouthing “what the fuck is wrong with you, go get them” and they just continued their chat like it was a nice Sunday afternoon on a park bench without a care in the world. Cops have collectively given up and it happened exactly in 2020. I genuinely don’t understand how more people aren’t noticing it and calling them out.

Ha ha — I got mixed reception. Most people just stared but the waiters etc were all nice, chatty people.

Cool. So you’re just talking out your ass then? Glad you’re admitting it
Edit: Bro is such a loser he had the suicide watch message sent me. He’s also transphobic and an anti-vaxer. So slay dude

Do I have a study to show that the few people that show up to a public comment event do not represent the rest of the population? No.

Do you have a reliable study that says that? Or are you just assuming that the population is siding with you?

The point is if it's commensurate with the population. It isn't.

Are highly motivated people and activists not part of the population? Do they not get to have an opinion?

Dudes definitely a cop. And a bad cop if he’s this much in denial about how shitty cops are

Absolutely, and we need to pour on the assistance to Ukraine to the very end. No relenting.

Cool! I've still never been. Was it easy to find and walk to? Wasn't sure if the snow/ice was covering some of the carvings at this time of year.
