The only lesson to be learned is that police need to be more active in the River Road area and start cracking down on the drug and homeless population in Eugene in general- way more than has been going on. What are our tax dollars going towards. Getting disgusted at the level of homelessness and drug issues particularly along the river front which is an amazing natural resource and recreation area for tax paying citizens. It isn't right that we have to be fearful and not enjoy the place we live. Eugene COULD be an amazing place. It isn't. People come and then leave. The reason for people leaving is in large part due to the drug and homeless issue. I just had my baby in her first swim class at emerald park. No longer feel safe going there and this truly saddens me. I'm not really sure I wnat to raise children in this town anymore. Eugene police step it up!!
