Mr. Porter... your lack of empathy for this woman's frightening experience demonstrates the problem in Eugene.  POLARIZATION.  And you can't accept that their bad behaviors have created widespread fear in woman in this community.  We deserve some support with the very REAL ISSUES in living with a homeless population that is 30 times the national average!

Homeless advocates often dismiss taxpayers fears or bad experiences with the homeless.  Some call us "housed" as if that is a disease.  Many homeless people have serious mental health and substance abuse problems...and even when our doors are locked they have broken in robbed and even done unspeakable crimes to children, women, and families.  

You loose all credibility when you mock serious safety concerns of the people who support the Mission, vote to fund police/social services, and schlep to work everyday (despite all our problems) to pay taxes that can help to support the homeless.
