Try working together <br /> Please, folks, let's get down to what's <br /> really bugging us about the Eugene police <br /> state: One of the reasons people act in vio- <br /> lence is because they are afraid. Whether <br /> the fear is tangible or subliminal, the police <br /> and public have a fear of each oth er. not <br /> Instead of pointing fang <br /> why <br /> focus on where the problem <br /> on originates? <br /> Ave <br /> Why are people hanging <br /> nue? Why are there drugs? Why are some <br /> people urinating on lawns? Simple solutions <br /> for simple (complex?) problems: public <br /> restrooms, community outreach, <br /> rehabilitation. <br /> Let's provide our communities with pro - <br /> active outlets. Let's welcome street art and <br /> performance. Bring life to an otherwise con- <br /> sumerist avenue. <br /> Why make 13th Avenue so undesirable <br /> by allowing a police state? There is no solu- <br /> tion in that. We know that by way of <br /> Scobert Park. Community action is where <br /> it's at. <br /> Hand over your rights, and you have no <br /> voice. It's more than just drugs and petty <br /> crime — it's violation of rights, harassment, <br /> discrimination and violence. Is that what <br /> you want in your neighborhood?Or do has <br /> want to see people enjoying a town <br /> a lot of positive qualities? <br /> Please, let's work together. <br /> SIS ANDERSON <br /> Eugene <br />
