Does anyone know who has the best chance of unseating the current commissioners? I want my vote to count for the people with the best chance to get these guys out.
I’ve been I town for a while and I would like to know where good places are for after the gym?
The stickers are la dodgers and the Miami dolphins.
Let me be the first to tell you the good news.
Thanks to Councilman Weiss, just like I promised, the Mayor couldn't avoid the issue. Weiss kept asking questions and he kept probing and you can ask anyone who attended. I informed him that I was the black dude who kept spewing all the laws in Oregon because my wife transcribes those laws.
People asked for my interference and the first time I did, this happens. I told you that you aren't going to beat ICE by appealing to the humanity of these people. You're going to fight this covertly and give threats of lawsuits for failure to comply. I have money. They know this. I don't have to negotiate with you.
So yeah, they voted on it and it passed. They're going to make an ordinance to enforce Oregon law. ICE doesn't get to run rough shot in Roseburg and I promised to provide the legal funds for the first immigrant ICE abuses in my city. It'll only take one suit to send a nice little message.
I promised my friend Julian that I would intervene. I'm supposed to be retired from activism but I did this one last favor. Made some calls. Explained the law in detail and flashed out law firms. You know good and well that nothing makes that city council move this fast unless there's a lawsuit on the line.
The message I delivered was that if the Roseburg City Council makes a resolution and does an ordnance then that will help protect the city from any liability in a lawsuit. Some people don't seem to understand how "liability" works. It doesn't matter if a Roseburg cop wasn't the one violating the rights of an immigrant. It happened in your town and that makes you liable, unless you take steps to protect yourself.
That argument seemed to work. Now you truly understand why the racists wanted black people like me banned. The moment we interfere, it goes a different way.
In closing, don't bother appealing to the humanity of that city council. They have no humanity. Appeal to their wallets. When you've sued so many people and won like I have, then that's the first lesson you learn. Use lawfare.
This my first topic on Reddit, and the third post in 5 years, but its and important time in our city. What we do now will set a path.
I am well known in the area, but it needs to be asked.
So, Voters around here, do not recall much about the man. He owns a tire shop, and
keeps under the radar. Unless you happen to be interfering with land, or money.
Then it seems, you are in the cross hairs as his cousin reported below..
People post and bash the man. I would like people to make this a petition on why the man should no longer be a representative of people of Douglas County?
Or why should they. If there are issues ? Lets be civil and let voters know what is really the story.
Here are a few I found.
DOUGLAS COUNTY COMMISSIONER CHRIS BOICE HARASSES VETERAN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9o6jXta234

Give them selves raises.
• 2023 – 2024: Several community members filed written complaints with the Douglas County Ethics Board alleging “bullying” and “harassing” behavior toward staff and constituents.
• February 2024: An Oregon Press Information Office (OPIO) request released 12 emails from the commissioner’s office showing repeated, confrontational language toward a county employee who raised concerns about a procurement process.
• July 2024: The Mail Tribune reported a petition signed by ~300 residents demanding an independent review of the commissioner’s conduct after a town‑hall meeting in which attendees described being shouted at, interrupted, and threatened with legal action for asking questions.
• Douglas County Ethics Board opened a “Harassment/Workplace Bullying” case in March 2024. The board’s interim report (released August 2024) noted “multiple credible allegations” and recommended a full investigation by the County Attorney’s Office.
• County Attorney’s Office launched a civil‑rights‑based inquiry in September 2024; as of the latest update (April 2026) the investigation remains ongoing, with no final determination publicly posted.
>No final ruling – The case is still open; Commissioner Boice remains in office while the investigation proceeds.
Let the voters know what you think, I do not think myself he is a good fit.
Either he is the unluckiest man or something is not right.
There exist a video of him at the Park and alleged interference women voter group. I can not locate it at this time.
Lets be sure he is the person that we should vote for.
And we should put all candidates under the same microscope.
I wont myself be voting for him, but the choice is for each person, this is just my opinion based on what the internet shows. Over, hearsay.
Or someone's personal experience they can share themselves.
For my own privacy, I wont reply to posts. I am surprised I even posted this.
But time to know what is right. What Say You?
My brother's birthday is coming up and he is very into Vulture Culture. He likes collecting bones and I would love to get him some. I can't find any places that sell any and was wondering if anyone knew of any that aren't too far away? I know Eugene has some stores, but idk if I want to drive to Eugene just for this one thing with how gas prices are.
Thank you!
Hi everyone, I’m new to Roseburg and I’m attending UCC. I actually live up near Toketee and the days I have to go down to Roseburg, it’s usually an all day commitment. I’m looking for a good place to study in the evenings after the UCC library closes (at 6pm). I like working in coffee shops, casual restaurants, or any other place that has similar vibes and is cool with me working on a laptop. I would obviously patron the place I go. It needs to be open until at least 8pm. Preferably a local/small business. Any suggestions?
Many creeps with easily validated and related articles and arrests are listed here, and some who are more subtle abusers. I won't put a screenshot, Ill just tell you to look at the list yourself and take precautions. If you see any of these men near your home or kids, stay away. I won't post the names here as it would break the rules of this sub.
🐾 Douglas County pet owners, we need your input!
We're in the early stages of building Umpqua Animal Society, a new nonprofit serving Douglas County. Before we launch any programs, we want to know what the community actually needs.
We put together a short 4-minute anonymous survey covering:
- Vet care access and barriers
- What services would help most
- What's missing in Douglas County right now
🔗 Take the survey here: https://tally.so/r/q4Y2V2
Every question is optional. At the end you can also pre-register to be notified when we launch, or sign up as a potential program participant if you think you might need our services.
Your input shapes what we build 💗
Please show up to the council meeting this evening and voice your concerns. You get two minutes. There's a cop there so don't say anything crazy. I want you there because people need to speak out on various issues and this is your opportunity. These people tax you. Therefore, make sure they hear your voice.
Location has changed to across the street from Roseburg High School. Still April 27th at 2:00
We want ICE out — out of Roseburg, out of Douglas County, out of Oregon, out of every city and town in this country. This is a national day of action, and we need your voices. ICE has already listed Roseburg as a location of interest for office space and we intend to fight any attempted expansion. Show up with us in solidarity to stop ICE warehouse detentions.
Just wondering if anyone else has discovered this once in a generation musician/producer/rapper/director.
I encourage all of you to show up to the next Roseburg Townhall at 7:00 PM on second and forth Mondays, usually. Look out for when the next one pops up and show up to all of them. Voice your concerns to the city council. However, I'm taking a different approach.
The next one is April 27 at 7 PM. Please show up and speak. I think you get 2 minutes to voice your concern so take the time now to prepare what you gotta say.
I'm going to poison the well against ICE. If you want any hope to change someone's mind then you hit them where America cares the most and that's money. I've been on the phone with several law firms and I'm willing to throw my hat into the ring.
We must make the Roseburg City Council aware of how many lawsuits have been filed against ICE and especially in Oregon. You're talking about more than 2,800 lawsuits filed in just one part of California. I don't imagine that's going to improve here. So far this year, we've seen more than 70 lawsuits in Oregon against ICE action with the State of Oregon suing the Federal Government with an additional 40+ lawsuits relating to this administration's actions with ICE.
In 2025, Oregon spent a fortune on ICE related lawsuits and this year will probably be worse.
What you aren't being told about Waldport was some of the legal stuff for why ICE could get repelled from there. For example, my wife pointed out to me that she knows people who transcribed minutes for town meetings in Waldport and she gave me a link to show the actual reason why Waldport could push ICE away. They quite literally allotted $175k to just legal funds and I'd imagine they would allot even more money. They released information about this in December 2025. They planned ahead which is why I've gotten into the habit of pointing out problems ahead of time and if folks elect not to listen then that's on them. It's pretty clear at least my wife has been keeping up with this issue to know all the stuff behind this.
Here is a link for you to see this: https://multco.us/news/news-release-multnomah-county-strengthens-status-sanctuary-community-new-funding-policy#:\~:text=The%20one%2Dtime%20funding%20approved%20today%2C%20drawn%20from,impact%20of%20County%20partnerships%20in%20the%20community.
They had lawyers, legal advocates, and social workers on the ready. Waldport had an Aegis shield waiting for ICE. That told ICE that Waldport wouldn't be a suitable area because you'd need to recruit locally and they're trying to get away from cities like Portland where a new recruit might be a liability. That simple action told ICE, "We don't want you here and we will use money to make you as uncomfortable as possible."
Roseburg needed something similar. Waldport did the smart thing and planned ahead. I was trying to get people's attention with some of this stuff but I'll get over that. The fact of the matter is that you're going to need money, lawyers, and you need to push your city council to allot funds to help undocumented families, especially children. Sure, Oregon already has funds available for that but having a local city council allot funds for this as well would send a message to ICE and all the modern day slave catchers.
Another good example that nobody mentions is Multnomah County. They allotted like a quarter of a million dollars just for potential legal fees for undocumented people. That's not a small chunk of change and a civil rights attorney will gladly snatch that up to represent someone. This is why I tell people that waiting until the wolves are at your door is utterly pointless. These people did the planning ahead.
The only reason why I'm so pessimistic is due to the fact that time is very limited. I've won a federal case before, Pigford V. Glickman, as a plaintiff or at least one of the many plaintiffs. I'm telling you that the mere threat of a lawsuit in the middle of a war that's already costing a fortune isn't the kind of smoke this administration wants or needs. If they wanted that smoke then they would've just told Waldport and everyone else that they're just gonna do what they want.
You cannot appeal to people who are trained to not recognize humanity with words. You gotta use what my grandma called "white people language" which is basically lawsuits. She's from the civil rights era. The first time ICE shows up and I see the same nonsense that we've all seen in all the footage and I'll personally fund the victim or their family's lawsuit. Trust me when I say that if that happens enough times then they'll pick another spot.
Edit: And please don't say anything crazy. They do have cops there. They also Livestream. Hit them with facts. Make them aware of how much this could potentially cost the city of Roseburg. As sad as it is, money is about the only thing some folks care about.
I'm looking for one or more people who are interested in surfing this spring and summer on the Oregon coast. Day trips or overnight for 1 night. I'm a beginner surfer but I body board, body surf, surf mat, SUP surf, everything. I love playing in the ocean but it's more fun and safer with someone else! PM me or reply.
Hey all, I have a 1970's mobile home that needs some work. Rats had made their nest in the walls and (due to health issues) we didn't know how bad it was until recently. It looks like they were searching for a water source and found the water heater and the lip of the tub that is also a drip pan(?). We need a large section of the bathroom floor to be replaced (probably will also upgrade to a walk-in shower) the furnace to be removed, underneath insulation fixed, possibly a new water heater, and a bedroom wall (which is also the back of the shower wall).
Could anyone recommend a few contractors that have some experience on older mobile homes?
I tried searching on Google, but I'm not finding anything. Is there anyone in Roseburg that installs PPF?
