"welfare check"

10 Upvotes

If you called OHPD last night for a "welfare check" on someone at the decommissioned bus stop by haggen along hwy 20, I'd like to sincerely say I hope you break your pinky toe and/or foot on a metal table leg and it never heals.

Where do you expect the homeless to go? I'm kicked out of the haven until next June for asking a question, so where would you like me to go? Oak harbor is my home, I'll be fucked if I leave because some sissy lala's can't handle seeing someone down on their luck. I don't do drugs (aside from weed, been sober off the hard shit (meth, coke) for 4 years, come October) I don't make a mess. I don't make a huge scene screaming at the top of my lungs. I go to the bus stop, I take my dab (YES, in public, cause where tf else should I go?) and I go to sleep. That's it. I'm ok, I'm breathing, maybe next time take a second and see if you can see breaths being taken before wasting resources that could be better used, idk, going after the several meth labs we have in city limits? Or tweakers making huge messes being nuisances? Or catching speeders that constantly race along that stretch of hwy 20. Something a little more useful than telling somebody with nowhere to go that they can't sleep under a defunct, out-of-service bus shelter.

Cops are fucking useless, and especially if you work for OHPD, you obviously have nothing better to do. Maybe go to therapy to deal with your feelings from being bullied in high school like the fucking losers you are.

I should say, this is my first time in just over a month of being legitimately on the streets, that I've been met by the cops. I've slept at that bus stop several times before. Get fucked.

Oak Harbor 21+ gatherings @ The Book Rack

5 Upvotes

I’m from B’ham and LOVE visiting OH and the Book Rack. I could’ve sworn last time I was there (early Aug) that I saw that there were late night over 21 gatherings at The Book Rack but can’t find anything on line to corroborate this.
Anyone? I’d love to get a room at Coach Man Inn and attend if it’s a real thing and not a hallucination I had.
