Challenges Every Community Faces: Drugs, Poverty, and Armed Men
Thats pretty race biased statement but mostly who gets caughtxbring ing these drugs to these communities its mostly caucasians so think before you parade your predjudism on here 09
How many blacks whites mexicans and other race live there besides natives? The rent in bemidji is outrageous. Why because of 3 reservations surrounding it!!
Guns and poverty are not the fault. Wtf!
Drug problems destories individuals, families, apartments, communities…. etc.
Get at the root of the problem for solutions. đź‘Ť
give them more money so rhey can buy more drugs
The reason why nobody around there will say anything is because they will be targeted next. You don’t talk when everything you have can be gone in a blink of an eye.
It is the gun's fault and defunding law enforcement in any community will not solve the problem. Poverty and/or spending habits are most likely the roots of these problems. All children receive a free K-12 education but for the most part, only those who live in a family which values education and respect for others succeed in society. Equal opportunity does not guarantee equal outcomes.
Get a job and quit killing each other. It’s not that hard.
Ok- it is bemidji , not NYC , Chicago , Detroit etc… everyone knows who the perps are so why do they keep getting away with it ? Lock em up if they are breaking laws.
Is Bemidji trying to compete with Detroit, Juarez, or Kabul?
Audrey talks a lot but says nothing
Oh and I forgot to mention Skyline Village also turns our water off with no type of notice at all. Yes it's a criminal offense, and the city doesn't care, the city acts like it's not their problem. Maybe Audrey Thayer should address the egregious RIGHTS VIOLATIONS being perpetrated against the residents of this community by the greedy slumlords that think it's ok to treat us in this manner.
I live in the trailer park behind ridgeway, it's not specifically ridgeway, it's the entire area. I've watched the neighborhood go from a little wild a few years ago, to a truly bad neighborhood now. No one lives over here because they want to, people live in this neighborhood because they can't afford to live anywhere else. Here in the trailer park the situation keeps getting worse and worse, and the company that owns this slum keeps jacking up our rent! Skyline village has the highest lot rent in bemidji, and we still have to maintain our own lots, not to mention put up with the fear of a stray bullet hitting you while walking outside or possibly coming through your wall. I don't worry about being intentionally shot at so much as the stray bullet going somewhere unintended. This is a horrible place to live.
I don't like what she's saying..I could change it over night.and they could too..1) set up more cameras at the door entrances .2 hire armed trained security. 3) build a security booth in front of the entrance..you want to come in give your name and ID. Make model of vehicle And how many in the vehicle..motels/hotels do it as well..4) enforce the rules in place or create rules and enforce them..( no loud music or noise after 11pm). Problem solved.. invest in your building and community by keeping it safe. It's the building manager to establish safety first. Not call the police to come afterwards and try to make it safe
Idle hands as they would say…. Time to get up and control your own fate. Stop looking in the mailbox for help. There are Help Wanted signs everywhere. My company is about 500 employees short, they offer excellent wages and a fantastic benefits package. It’s not hard to find or get to a job in Bemidji. One must be responsible, or face the consequences. I know it’s complicated, but you have to start somewhere.
Haha, Ms. Thayer sure did a job of tip toeing around the elephant in the room. Why the hell can’t people just be frank and talk in plain language about who the people are and what the hell is the problem? Speaking in guarded terms trying not to offend, you will never get anywhere. This is costing the tax payer millions of dollars a year in police, judicial, and prison time. Not to mention public assistance…welfare.
