This is a direct result of 'Reaganomics'. He shut down all federal funding for mental health, to make his budget appear better. Now the police are left to pick up the slack. The police have no money either so the people that need mental health care are left out in the cold. Literally, today.

I used to work in that area, never again. I found out I was in the, "Downtown Exlusion Zone," and I could see why. The place was a hotspot for trouble; you couldn't go a few days without drugged out crazies harassing pedestirans, vandalizing/littering, and relieving their bowels in front of businesses. And now with the revolving jail system, it's only going to get worse.

Harassing, threatening motorists, walking over a car with the intent to damage a car probably isn't enough to keep a person incarcerated overnight in Eugene. This is Kitty-town. Probably just a leftover wrung-out hung-over dude from Occupy!

Eugene is screwed up and has been for a while. They only thank of themselves and voted into office. This guy is an example of the next person to commit the next possible mass killing. Get with it Lane County and Eugene. Vote current people out and get some new blood in.

I agree... eugene is just one of those towns where this **** never seems to happen...

This is getting to be absolutely ridiculous-letting this sick individual out after the fact-guess there's no law out there anymore. Who would of thunk a city without a jail.
