Oregon Moves to Reintroduce Penalties for Drug Possession After Catastrophic Years-Long Junkie Utopia Experiment
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Chris Black

Well, that escalated quickly.

I guess we’re just going to cancel the utopia?

How can you have a utopia that arrests people simply for living on the streets in tents and shooting up fentanyl in front of children?

It’s fascism.

Let’s try an experiment where consenting adults can move into a lawless zone that is self governed. The only criteria are that they are sterilized and can never return to civilization. That way we can see a true Communist utopia where the proletariat rule and live in peace.

I think the prototype for that was "Escape from New York."

the states with the most overdose deaths per capita are WV, DE, KY and TN.

The states with the most homelessness per capita are Hawaii, California etc....

One has to do with high per dollar and the other has to do with paying lavish welfare benefits.

They should not be legalizing hard drugs.

I’ll bet climate plays a role in the homeless population as well.

It’s got to be far easier to live on the streets when you aren’t freezing your butt off for almost half the year.

“Let’s try an experiment”

So how do we get this done ?

Can we start a petition or something?

Could we declare a “sanctuary” sand dune out in the desert ...or is there an Island we could borrow for about 10 years?

Could we send them there? Or would we have to draw them there with free stuff?....
Could we pay for it with a go fund me page or would the taxpayer have to get the shaft again?

Escape from New York showed the problem with just walling them in somewhere.... so that’s out ...

BUT .... there has got to be a way ... this is just to good an idea to let pass.

Who’s going to enforce it? It will be catch and release.

“I think the prototype for that was “Escape from New York.”

Or maybe Australia or Devil’s Island. Penal colonies.

That the CHAZ / CHOP experiment in Seattle. They even got into agriculture and were going to feed themselves.

But at least it was a very WOKE garden. 😅
