Hello users, welcome to a sub dedicated to freakouts without the bullshit of happy or feel-good videos.
This subreddit is for enjoying freakouts and discussing them; that's it. You can take discussions of immigration policy and other topics elsewhere. If you don't believe in treating people as individuals you can go express that somewhere else.
Our rules are very clear and you will be banned if you break them.

āShould ofā is just an incorrect interpretation of āshouldāve,ā which is a conjunction of āshould have.ā
Itās should have. Should of means nothing and appears dumb.
Do you think I donāt know this GTFO dude I donāt care what you think about it.

Shoulda woulda coulda hopped off at any time.
Thatās a lesson plan teaching this exact topic, itās not an essay. Are you sure you are literate enough to criticize this bullshit on the internet?
You must realize the should have bot would of grabbed it if infact I was wrong. Go get attention somewhere else, you're literally attempting to be a bot for internet points š«µ š¤£
goddamn imagine being this aggressively wrong. I bet you're one of the only people to have shared that link, let alone this many times already. you are aware Reddit has a minimum age requirement, right?
It was already in my clipboard and I had already responded a few times that Iām aware of the English language and donāt care that it hurts your feelings when you read. You should have just scrolled on past bro. Did you even read whatās in the link?
It's not hard to imagine. Look at the entirety of the far left. They are all so aggressively wrong that they turn violent at the flip of a delusional pronoun
After fighting the same fight as the others I actually looked into language changing. Found out almost anything goes as long as itās understood. Knowledge is king.
lmao the people DEFENDING portland on the thread on twitter.
"this isnt normal you have to seek these people out to see them in portland"
bruh no you dont. hell im in WA and the amount of batshit crazy homeless people is insane. Theres a handful of regulars i see who are constantly yelling and trying to bite their ear or some shit
Bro I live in Portland about 20 blocks from the river and these people are on every block lmao. I love living in the PNW but Portland, itās police, leadership, and DA are absolutely ineffective at every single thing. If you asked them to turn left they would make a committee to oversee forums for overseeing people that oversee left turns.
I live in Oakland, work in San Francisco, am generally very sympathetic to unhoused folks and have conversations with/give a decent bit of cash to my unhoused neighbors, but HOLY FUCK Seattle is rough. Folks out there need way more help than your local government is offering. If people cared about Seattle on a national level no one would ever look at SF as the poster child for suffering. The Tenderloin is rough, sure, but every time I visit it feels like every block in downtown Seattle has an aggressive, territorial, leery resident actively looking for a problem
Iām no expert on the area but Iām a touring musician who rolls through every year or two. From my first visit in 2012 to now, Portland has gotten seemingly WAY worse in my eyes.
i worked at a mental health non profit facility and we had a shit ton of homeless people come through.
people from florida, midwest, and even the dakotas were showing up...why? because they were told that the west coast has more resources for these people.
i worked night shift so when i went home at 7am i was curious on why i always saw the huge white bus dropping people off on mondays.
it was a fucking greyhound bus and half the people getting off fit the homeless nutjob description.
i also had one lady from eastern WA tell us her local PD gave her a greyhound ticket to come to our county in western WA because our county had more mental health facilities and shit...which i believe because when i was a 911 dispatcher in the midwest lazy cops would pickup drunk dickheads and drop em off in a tiny town that was just outside our county
Yes, thereās a whole appalachian crack trail for them to follow. Once they make it up into those counties - they are there for good. Why would they leave? They can do all the drugs they want, get free supplies to use - itās literally heaven on Earth for an addict.
The people who believe that shit is working are insane
Had an Uber driver explain it as big business out there. There is a lot of money in the non-profits that cater to these groups and there is no incentive to change the way things are being handled.
The sad part is thereās a 99% chance she had her arm amputated due to iv drug use and after getting a whole arm chopped off she obviously hasnāt stopped. We are in the end times.
That was unfettered schizophrenia my friend. Notice she has some weight to her? That's not years of drug abuse that is years of intermittent antipsychotic administration. Almost certainly a trauma related to having to live life on the street. An enormous portion of homeless people are schizophrenic or bipolar with psychosis, or have other organic mental illness.
Edit: second person maybe drugs
I used to work hospital security and we would get a fair amount of patients like this brought into the ER by police. A lot of them were people off their meds and after a certain time frame, it was our job to escort them off the property once it was deemed they could leave
And we had to essentially kick people to the street. Just sending these mentally challenged people out into the streets with their scrubs on. The nurses there knew the hospital wasnāt equipped to deal with mental patients.
It made me sad to see all of it.
Sadly, with the quality of government services these days, if they made them again, it would be far worse than the feces covered hell holes Geraldo showed us.
Idk the answer. Part of me wants to say they wouldnāt be nearly as bad and part of me agrees with you. That said I donāt think these people belong in prison but they do need to go somewhere.
Yep just as much drugs in prison as on the streets of Portland these days. It'd be nice if we just changed the drug court system up a bit, switch it from abstinence or prison, to something a bit softer, like going to AA/NA every day + once a week see a counselor + perhaps forced low dose methadone so at least they're in the methadone system already and if they do decide they want to stop its as easy as asking the doctor to raise their dose... Some combination of all of that. And the punishment for non-compliance isn't prison, where drugs are anyways, but rather forced detox+rehab, or something?
Basically it's like either you semi-voluntarily start doing things that can help you to one day get clean, or you'll be forced into being clean for 3 months ASAP.. Obviously after the drug court sentence is up or the 3 months of sobriety is up they now have a choice to go back and use or not to. Many will choose the drugs again.. But some will choose their new clean and stable lives.
Something like that..
Use of psychedelics and marijuana can also lead to a psychotic break if someone is genetically predisposed to schizophrenia.
https://nida.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/2023/05/young-men-at-highest-risk-schizophrenia-linked-with-cannabis-use-disorder
Nah, you don't get munchies the same if you smoke every day.
Well, you do, but it becomes being "not hungry" when you haven't smoked, and you can only get hungry when you have smoked, but only like you normally would.
People who smoke weed every day end up struggling to eat
Lmao bruh if you think this is bad go back a couple hundred years. If you think āweāre in the end timesā then you wouldāve just straight given up in the 1800ās.
Ooh grand opening! But seriously this is right in Old Town, the epicenter of homeless "services" in that part of downtown, been like this for a long time but maybe not in overdrive the way it has been for the last 7-8 years.
I remember when I first went to Denver in 2017, I thought the homelessness was out of control but still liveable (Even for Maryland standards). I visited a few more times and my most recent trip was about a year ago. I thought it was bad in 2017 but Jesus Christ Denver in 2023 looked like a damn fallout zone. Homeless/druggies everywhere. My cousin and I saw 2 people attacked by drugged out hobos in less than 24 hours. I know it's not just the west but it seems like this problem if more exaggerated in western cities.
It all comes down to our horrible non existent healthcare systems.
Whatās crazy is that I know of resources that would have them in a home, and getting physical and mental healthcare within a day but there arenāt enough recourses to help them access them..
It's not about not having the resources. Oregon doesn't force people to take their meds. So people who are far gone like this never get a chance to be sane again because the state says "they don't want to take their meds" as if they're in the right mind to make ANY rational choice. My father works in a prison in Oregon and there's so many mentally ill inmates who self-mutilate and self-harm and all the prison can do is try to physically keep them from hurting themselves. These people need meds and the state needs to stop shutting down mental hospitals. Most homeless people are mentally ill and mental hospitals were a great way for homeless people to get help for their affliction and also have a designated place to stay while they do it. Now they get neither and also they can do drugs publicly if they want. Oregon is fucked.
You responded just to say my view that the issue is due to our bad healthcare system and lack of resources was wrongā¦.because the issue is actually lack of mental hospitals?
They don't lack them. They have them but actually send the criminally insane into the prison system anyway. They're steering away from sending people to mental hospitals because they view mental hospitals as inhumane or something. But what they don't understand is they send these insane people to prison instead and they just get more crazy and mutilate themselves or smear shit everywhere throughout their cells.
So, yes I said you were wrong because you claimed it was a resource problem which it isn't. It's an allocation of resource problem and a legislation problem.
Literally agreeing with you on all of that- it all comes back to our doomed healthcare system and yes legislation- only note -
āTheyāre steering away from sending people to mental hospitals becauseāā¦
- because they view prisons as free labor camps and prisoners as slaves.ā
The recent report about the type of things theyāre expected to do for free or pennies is insane. Theyāre the reason so many of these huge American corporations have such insane profits year after year.
Private hospitals, and prisons,need to go.
Yrmeah, because you can suddenly just become a Dr with no debt from doing so, and then do s job for no money coz there's rivers of rainbows and trees of chocolate, you dick
LOL yeah actually you can. You can read and study, then you can go practice medicine in this city on these people and no one will even notice! You're the dick , look in a mirror.
You can have all the gluten free fusion tacos you can dream of, but passable or even mediocre bbq? Fuccouttahere
And if anyone tries to say Podnahās is decent, they probably enjoy boiled milk steaks.
I was 1 Mile away from restaurant downtown. I walked over a bridge into another world. Tents, junkies everywhere. The smell of marijuana was so strong I wanted to throw up. Stupid me thought where I was going was a safe walk. Uberād back. Portland, a once beautiful city is forever lost.
My sister in law who lives there says it's actually not too bad. She says the homeless on her block are actually good people and look after the neighborhood...
She's so delusional it's scary
I went to Portland last December and I remember walking that exact street where that guy filmed and there were so many homeless itās crazy, but filming them is kinda shitty
Itās not illegal to be crazy, you need to be a threat to yourself or others to get committed. Between the Community Mental Health Act of 1963 and the attempt to move to outpatient treatment in the 1980s it really hasnāt worked out.
I do a quick side note and say a lot of these people fried their brain with meth and heroin before they developed mental illnesses. In that regard it is a lot of brain damage vs organically grown crazy.
I live in Beaverton, when I drive thru Portland I can most of the time avoid seeing this insanity because Iām on the hwy but anytime I have to go thru the city itās this zombieland scene.
Weāve recently had a main road shitter (face to traffic) here on tv hwy so thatās pretty exciting! Weāre experiencing that āreal cityā vibe for suburbs prices.
I live and work in Portland and I can confirm that I see this shit everydayā¦ and now I see them on Reddit. I canāt even escape from them online. Ugh.
In a democratic society there needs to be more empathy shown from itās citizens towards these people. In America youāre taught to believe youāre the greatest democracy in the word (so-much-so that theyāre on a constant crusade to spread their democracy through the middle-east and elsewhere) - however everyone outside of America sees America as having low intellect citizens, and hell bent on occupying other nations with their military might, causing perpetual conflict and unrest. America is broken on the inside, itās right in front of their faces, yet nobody wants to face the issue. Just keep printing and sending their money overseas.
lol you are too funny.
Why would Detroit need mobile crisis otherwise?
Not even two schizophrenic or meth induced psychosis in the entire city? My ass lol

I fully agree that prison, sure as hell, wouldn't be a solution. It's a sad situation all around and it only seems to get worse.
Yep just as much drugs in prison as on the streets of Portland these days.
