Mainers are becoming increasingly fed up with local governments prioritizing addicts and junkies over well-to-do citizens 🔥 In a powerful statement last night, a Lewiston business owner left BUCKETS of used needles and crack pipes at the feet of the city councilors who have enabled and encouraged harm reduction policies.

"Our citizens are pissed... The regular folks want something done." More of our conversation with Chris and Rick LaChapelle

So sad what they did to Maine. We came “back home” in 2020 to finish raising our kids after retiring from the military and were stunned to see dirt, filth and decay replace what was my families home for 8 generations. The last 6 years it’s just gotten worse with no end in sight. We did not ever not once vote for this.

@SteveRob Stop electing democrat morons.

That was an AWESOME DISPLAY of humiliation aimed right at city councilors, who could do nothing but stare blankly.

Careful, they may arrest you for paraphernalia

Thank you @TheMaineWire for your reporting, and letting stories like this be known.

Did he get charged with some kind of BS crime for doing it? I’m not being facetious, I actually would expect it.

“Restorative Justice” as explained: “everyone deserves a second and third chance”. “Restorative Justice” in practice: recidivism rates increasing ten fold (at least) with prosecutors exercising “prosecutorial discretion” to the point where they don’t pursue class B felonies. “Restorative Justice” as practiced in Maine is not “restorative” for the addict or their communities. Nor is it “justice” for either party. It is criminal neglect. Now, instead of overreacting (because let’s be honest…that’s what we do), let’s start talking to our neighbors about ways we can take control of our communities and work with law enforcement to turn the tide. #TalkToYourNeighbors

Yes! More of this!

An example of men behaving like men who care for their country, their families, and their communities. We need men like these in Canada. Bravo, Guys!

Those politicians are shaking in their boots. When they see the real men i.e. the guys who actually make things work and upon which the politicians all feed off start to get involved, its just a matter of time before things change back to common sense.

Democratic cities want people they can control. The more hands they can put drugs in the more people they can control. These politicians should be prosecuted for any and all crimes they commit against humanity.

They dont care. Its not in any of their gated communities

Next time sprinkle them on the lawns of the councilors that voted to allow this garbage. This Rules for thee mentality needs to come to an abrupt halt & they should get a taste of their own medicine. This is what bleeding hearts do to a town, allow it to fail but feel superior!

Everything democrats touch turns to 💩

He should have dumped them at their feet so they could pick them up the way he had to.

Where's Howie, Captain get this guy on your show, let him voice his opinion, I'm sure he's not the only guy from Maine that is saddened by the fact that Maine, like a lot of this country, it is going to shit...

Seattle has so much drugs on the sidewalk. They are now issuing narcan for dogs. Because they keep overdosing from touching the fentanyl on the ground

In every Democrat run city, this is happening. Maybe it's time for a change

More 'Mainers' will prove they are fed up with local government, when the parking lot at Cabela's runs out of car spaces.

are they handing them out like they do in Washington?

@SteveRob White, Lewiston residents need to stand up and do something about the nigger problem first.

This is the America I grew up in! Citizens solving local needs and telling our government to leave us alone! Government entitlements are the new slavery!

It's maddening that our supposed "public servants" have allowed this to happen to us & our our families. Shame! Elections matter, so don't sit this election out.

What ACTUAL people see and do - while politicians SCAM them all the way to the bank. SAVE LEWISTON from the POLITICANS

I literally found a bucket just like this in front of my studio in SoHo, reported it to NYPD, and they told me to keep it and throw it away myself. Mind you this particular jug contained a LARGE quantity of a VARIETY of injectable drugs WITH NAMES AND PHARMACIES printed and visible. This is a problem in EVERY CITY in America, at least according to my independent observations and interviews.

This is how you do it. Put it right in their incompetent faces. These are the kind of MEN who should run for local office. God Bless Them.

@MaineGirl1717 But Maine politicians (uniparty) embracing drug culture is big money both on and off the record. Bodies for census/representation, problems for NGOs, storefronts for laundering

@MaineLogic Keep doing the good work!!

LORD, help!!!!! 😭

@NRSmaine Should have placed them on their desks

Becoming? If it weren’t for that crooked asshole, Aaron Frey, we’d be burning recovery centers down by now. Everyone knows he’d use the chance to make an example.

Forcefully remove these tyrants.

This is the way.

It's time to fight back THANK YOU SIR
