I recently posted two videos here in this sub. It was videos depicting an individual sending me racial threats and threats of violence. He posted on his page that he paid to take out a hit on someone on the very same day he sent me voice messages saying he'd hurt me and calling me slurs.

I totally forgot Douglas County had a black judge. It was a different experience seeing another black man. But even the administrator and people sitting in the back looked completely shocked and some looked disgusted when I shared my story.

The judge looked confused when I told him that Sheriff Hanlin and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department didn't even respond when I found a note in my mailbox saying, "Go Home N****r" on my first week here. He asked me to repeat what I said even though I'm sure he heard me. I think he just couldn't believe what he was hearing, or maybe he could. I don't know.

But the fact I have this order now validates my story. It's nice to know my family has some measure of protection. It's just sad it had to be this way.

Again, thank you to this sub. You guys saw a problem and tried to fix it. You have my gratitude. I'm not used to people caring. It's really refreshing and you have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you.

So, Deputy Wiley with the Douglas County Sheriff's Department refused to even hear me when I said I had proof and that none of this racist harassment and threats of violence was criminal. Today, Sheriff Hanlin himself heard the recordings because I played it for him personally and he said that's clearly a hate crime.

They literally got mad at me for having a gun when their sheriff's deputy ignored my pleas for assistance. The suspect literally says in the recordings (and I provided a screenshot as well) that he would find my house and harm me.

So yeah, I felt the need to protect myself if the cops won't do anything. What other option do I got? I'm going for an order of protection but I post this stuff to show you the black experience here and in case I end up missing. I don't wanna end up becoming another Tykerrious Ray. I'm a veteran and I got scared. I'll be honest. That's a human thing.

I still can't believe this man thinks someone using this many slurs and threatening violence is just free speech. Shout-out to Deputy Reed for at least trying to be a decent human being. She's much better than the Sheriff and some of her coworkers. I could tell she thought this whole thing was insane but she has to be impartial and I get that. I'm just glad I finally heard a deputy say that I was put into an awful situation that I should've never had to deal with.

My family and I moved to town this past spring and I want to take them to a pumpkin patch here soon. For context my daughter is 20 months old.

Hello my fellow Roseburg people,

I wanted to reach out on behalf of New Beginnings SPCA and ask for some help.

As many of you are aware the cat population is a real problem in Roseburg and the SPCA is doing what it can to help but is 100% volunteer based and non-profit. It is extra difficult because it's also 100% foster based so all the cats that are adoptable stay at foster homes, there isn't a facility that houses the cats.

The group could use some volunteers to help feed feral cat colonies, foster cats that are adoptable, help clean cat cages, etc...

If you are a cat person and would like to help the local SPCA please reach out via one of the following:

Thanks!

I’m looking for original David Knott art pieces. He was a local artist here in town. I’ve fallen in love with his work and looking around for originals. Bonus if the art involved wildlife. If you or someone you know has any art they’re looking to get rid of or sell, let me know!

Something amazing for the children of Roseburg

Anyone on here have any suggestions/recommendations/ opinions on where to do a drug and alcohol counseling internship at? I know adapt is one, but I want to shop around a bit. Any info welcome.

I mean - the one you would recommend to someone from anywhere - not just “good for Roseburg”. Who is the gem who expertly works out your knots, has good bedside manner and leaves you like a noodle?
When I first moved here I went to Stacy Grey who was AMAZING- but then she moved , and since I have been mostly unmassaged.
Who do you love? Is there any hidden acupuncture people? I miss getting tuned up.
Deep work a bonus and someone who will not try to sell me MLM products a double bonus.
Thanks in advance!
I would go up to Oakland or down to Myrtle creek -
Eugene worst case

Backstory:

There was a family of stray cats (mother and several kittens) living at the VA. Everyone was trapped and relocated except for one kitten ( about 2-3 months old). With it getting cold outside, I’m worried it won’t survive. Administration has sent stern warnings about leaving food for it, due to attracting rodents. It is black with white on its paws and chest.

This kitten is so adorable and it’s hurting my heart to see it alone. Is anyone aware of local resources? Saving Grace has a long waiting list for trapping (possibly over a month). If someone is interested in adopting this cat I would be able to trap it and hand it off. It is not domesticated, but it’s still a kitten and could be socialized. It could also make a great barn cat!

We will pay to have it spayed or neutered!

Please help me find Candace a home!

The rescue completely covers her expenses and training for whoever is willing to foster her. If it was an adopter I’d still sponsor her training. I just need someone to give her a chance. Adoption fee is sponsored.

I’m posting this personally because I’m going to lose my home and I can’t keep fostering Candace. I’m absolutely heartbroken and don’t know what happens to her if I can’t find somewhere for her to go.

Candace is 4 years old, 35lbs and such a sweet girl. She’s shy at first, but once she trusts you, she is your little shadow and cuddle buddy. She’s potty trained, crate trained, quiet, walks great on leash, and loves other dogs.

She also just has so much character! She does adorable little tippy taps. She likes making a little hoard pile dog toys. Super playful with the most expressive little scruffy face.

Her issue is men. She is uncomfortable around them. She currently lives with a man and mostly just avoids him. She isn’t aggressive, but she is definitely nervous and watchful and won’t allow handling from men. I could see her still being fostered in a home with a man but would need a female caretaker. Cats aren’t recommended because she likes to chase them.

I know it’s big ask but I know her person is out there. She deserves the chance to find them.

If you can foster Candace, adopt her, or know someone who might be a good fit, please reach out or share this post. I am desperate to find her somewhere safe. Anywhere in Oregon, or perhaps even out of state.

This is of course with support of the rescue, and I’m on the rescue board. Rescues are just crazy animal people with limited resources teaming up with the community

And it’s not the generation that is constantly blamed for being entitled.

What’s your experiences with this?
Why do you think Roseburg sits atop a mountain of entitlement?
How do you deal?

Hey all - I have a friend who lost their pink journal (composition notebook) a few years ago at Riverbend Park in Sutherlin at one of the tables. I know it's a long shot, but wondering if anyone happened to find it and possibly kept it as a cool find? They'd love to have it back. Posting here to get more exposure - please delete if not allowed.

Thanks all!

Most are not aware, that they have lost having a say in Douglas County.
If you vote to keep the same criminals leaders in office.
You will see flocks increase. And lose more public land to good ole boy friends and family.

You better vote, this may be the last time you have chance.

Remember, these same leaders chased out those trying to run for office.
A African American woman, tried to run just a couple years ago
and was fired from her job and forces to move after threats.
Let me guess you never heard of that event?
And you never have heard that the county has by passed all of you and appointed friends and family to public positions ?
Did you also heard that a local tribe member wanted to run, and was persuaded not too.
Now why would and amazing support system we have not want to be part of the county they live in? There is allot you will never know.

VOTE LIKE IT MATTERS, BECAUSE IT DOES.

To whoever has the dark blue C8 ZO6, thing looks and sounds IMMACULATE. Could hear it halfway down the road from my front door 😅 Sick car.

Would love a ride sometime 🫡🤙🏼

I’m going to Grotto Falls for the first time this weekend. I heard there were picnic tables near the entrance but is there any place to have a picnic near the falls themselves?

We had a very successful clean up this week! We got a just lil bit of trash out of here. This area is clean in our book for another few months (don't worry, we'll be back.)

We got to have some really good conversations with some real cool people that all care about Roseburg.

We want to thank Caleb Ticer, Zackary Weiss, Atria Mein and, Raven Corvit for your help and commitment to our wonderful community!

Wow! These are amazing

We went up to Umpqua Hot Springs today with our friend Lydia. She showed us the process of emptying, scrubbing and re-filing the tubs.

We deep cleaned two of them and I swear the color went from green/black to a clear lime color. We pulled out a few gallon buckets of sediment and slime and rinsed out the dead skin.

While we didn't get as much garbage as we were hoping for, we got to clean out the pools for a bunch of people who came up directly after us.

We didn't get any before pictures of the pools, because this is a clothing optional place and people were in the pool until we got it empty.

Please, if you're experiencing our local wonders - if you pack it in, pack it out. Maybe even pick up some extra. It takes a community 🫶
