Bunch of junkies out there. Everybody wants to help them and feed them cause they think they're homeless. Such bs😢
They are homeless! Drug addiction is a disease! My son was one of them, who is not anymore fortunately he has his family support unfortunately these homeless addicts don't have that and there should be more rehabs!
I changed my ways and I'm now 18 years clean and have a good career and a great life going and I was one of the ones who had no support system no family members willing to help I did it on my own it was hard but now I don't look back
Yup, it’s a life style they choose. Yo be drug addicts to be homeless. We should have no sympathy for them.
@@bevdavis8550Sorry you have to read ignorant, useless comments like these.
@@bevdavis8550 Drug use is a choice. Drug addiction is a consequence of choices, as is homelessness for the vast majority of the people who experience it.
Voting for politicians who are soft on crime has consequences
Voting? Lol you think that people are legitely voted in? That's hilarious bud
Definitely doesn't have anything to do with the economy, or social safety nets...nah.
@@aJoatsare you suggesting that politicians have nothing to do with the economy? If so, Bill Clinton, and reality, disagree with you.
The governor is a disgrace ....
@@aJoats Joe Biden says the economy is GREAT....
The city wants you to know they aren't gonna do shit. The governor wants you to know you can't protect yourself with a gun as long as she's in office.
I never ride my bike in this city without carrying pepper spray.
Everyone flouts the gun laws there. Who are you f’ing kidding?
@@MariaMeyer-ii5yo Yeah, all the criminals, if you are a law-abiding gun owner our illustrious governor wants to disarm you. Criminals going through the revolving door in and out. There are so many great things about Albuquerque or rather used to be.
@@Bdamazyn Smart.
Get a Byrna.
ABQ and NM vote for this. There should be zero tolerance for the bums that infest the city and sleep in tents.
Get used to it. We have let homeless people take our city. How about the good guys rights ?
We're on our own. Hopefully a rise in vigilantism will come.
Thank a Democrat
3 weeks ago and it’s just now on the news?
Current as CNN
That's what I was thinking. I was actually wondering about crime statistics on the bike trails in Albuquerque now that I got an EBike.
You voted for woke policies and woke politicians, so enjoy it to the fullest.
@@sarbantz I sure didn't vote for that!
No, apparently you just happened tro hear it for the first time. That’s on you.
The Governor is always talking about Public Safety where's her Public Safety at
Her idea of public safety is dis-arming lawful gun owners, and lecturing us about it.
When are the people of this city going to get it together and elect public officials who are serious about dealing with this problem?
They haven't since NM became a state. What makes you think they ever will?
Why would criminals vote for someone tough on crime??
Keep voting Blue it's on YOU
Red states have the same problems.
@@stevesecret2515 Unfortunately, there are lefties to have to deal with in 'Red' states also. Huh?
👏👏👏👏
@@stevesecret2515
Not true, not near as bad. Red States prosecute people.
@@drewolm The red state murder rate was 33% higher than the blue state murder rate in both 2021 and 2022.
2022 was the 23rd consecutive year that murder plagued Trump-voting states at far higher levels than Biden-voting states.
8 out of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2022 voted for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020.
From 2000 to 2022, the average red state murder rate was 24% higher than the average blue state murder rate.
Red states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama are America’s murder capitals and have had the highest three murder rates for 15 of the last 23 years.
The excuse that sky high red state murder rates are because of their blue cities is without merit. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022
Crime is one of my biggest reasons I didn’t move to Albuquerque last fall.
Yall voted for this over n over again. So now you get to deal with it
My thoughts exactly. I will never understand the way the people in this town, and Northern New Mexico in general, vote. Time after time. Thinking it will change. Sadly, it has to happen to them personally before they change. If ever.
@@headinghome1644 They still won't wake up. New Mexico is at the bottom of everything except crime.
No description of the perpetrators? You know what that means…
What does it mean ?
@@emjay2045It means that for now, there is no connection between the people camped out along that trail and the attackers other than an ugly suggestion.
Stay armed and vigilant, you are on your own.
Thanks, judges
Thanks liberal voters
My moms car was stolen by in the area around Target on Lomas. Disgusting place. She's older and so trusting. We never recovered the car. I see so many people driving around without license plates. I can't stand this cess pool of a city. I live in another state and dread when I need to go to Abq. It is so unsafe for anyone.
DANGEROUS is an Understatement, I was There in 2012, and That Place is Off The CHAIN... I AM from Kalamazoo Michigan, and was There 4 about 2 Months, and DETROIT Ain't got NOTHING on Them FOOLS from the Land of Entrapment....
I see people with masks and hoodies during a hot day on that trail all the time
why no description of attackers by media?
The homeless issue continues to be out of control. This is ridiculous.
I used to bike/Run down there years ago. I had a guy approach me with a bat with a couple nails in it once when I was on my bike. I hopped off my bike and went after the guy with my 380 and he took off running. I never saw him again even I was around there.
always was a crime (International) zone
Welcome to the jungle.
They smoked your bike 😡 they are criminals, the Cops can find them if they want too !!!
*IF they want to.
These people are offenders that have been arrested many times. it’s not the police that are the issue. It’s the judges and justice system that let them back out to offend once again.
The issue is New Mexico voting democrat again and again and again. It’s like they want the state to be poor, filled with crime and corruption
What cops? There's no police department here.
So could I if they miraculously stole something from me. They wouldn't have to worry about being 'homeless' ever again.
@@darrenkrehoff5200Cops down There r FAR more CROOKED then Anybody in the War Zone...
This is what pulling & double tapping are for.
Should be titled “Liberal man changes his tune after he is mugged by those he is compassionate for but has been warned about by conservatives for years”
Yep. He voted for it, and he got it.
Poor guy. People are going fn crazy lately and it seems as if this generation of kids have no respect or principles and thinks the world owes them all something. It's sad.
It's the liberal parents
It's drugs @@headinghome1644
"Vote Blue, No Matter Who" And when you vote blue you get all this and more to come.
Mr Trump is Ordained by the Hand of GOD, Protecting Us from the Lower Hordes of Humanity.
@@JB-rt4mx FJB. Trump November 5th.
you need to be patient 😭🙏🏽😭.what a joke.
They might have just been lowlifes they might have not even been homeless
Don't matter... drugs and homeless and all kinds of other bad stuff is taking over the city... and I'm 99 percent sure they were homeless
I moved from Albuquerque in 1997, only homeless I remember was the Indians who use to hang out at the bus stop at Zuni and San Mateo.
They'd come to the Albertsons parking lot asking for money.
Only crimes I remember was mild gang activity and some robberies.
I remember that it was safe to walk places and ride bikes.
I don't remember anyone talking so bad about the police.
Guess Albuquerque really has gotten bad.
Really sad to hear all of this 😞
I was there in 2012, and It's SOOOOOOO Bad in The BuddeQue, that on ANY given Day of riding City Bus, U R Bound to See at least 2 Different People with Black Eyes... Cool Extension Buses😎
Carry mace
This just proves you need to take the law into your own hands.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah but now you have to risk your own freedom. It's a damn shame.
Yup
Getting to the point to where the cops will be asking for help?
That's Y I could ONLY Stay about 2 Months Back in 2012. I left before I went 2 Prison for Bringing Final Demise 2 Sum TRULY Foolish around Downtown, but That Jalapeno spread on the Burgers is but 🔥🔥🔥
I have a full carry permit and always carried my gun when riding be it road biking or mountain biking.
Cannondale bikes are expensive
And if you defend yourself you'll go to prison...
@@marcosduran1443 not in a red state
Me, too. And I live in a very liberal state that, oddly enough, has very loose CC laws. Unlike California, where I also had my CC license, my current state doesn't even require me to prove need. As long as I have no record, I can carry, and I do. It's not easy concealing while riding, especially during the hotter months, so I'll often carry my single-stack Sig instead of my Glock 17, which has twice the capacity. My riding partner in my new state, who I've known for twenty years, rolled his eyes when I told him I would carry while riding, even though we'd often ride past sketchy homeless areas, where I was once chased a long way by a homeless dude's Rottweiler. He changed his tune after seeing one homeless dude pull a gun on another while he was riding that same bike path.
Why do you use the word ‘full’ to describe a carry permit? Are there partial carry permits. I hope you can explain this.
@@williammcneill2753 carry any state no restrictions
Why are we putting up with this?
Police need to enforce the law instead of taking their political stances at the detriment of the population!
They were neutered way before black life natters
Taxpayers and would be Victims have to wait till the Temperature drops as per Local Officials response.. Why not work on Staggered Timings (early morning & near sunset).. If there's a Will, there's always a Way.. 💕🇵🇭
I watch out for everything when i ride.. bicycle.. motorcycle.. scooter. Keep your head on swivel.
You do not need a concealed carry permit when on your bike or in your car. They are considered an extension of your domicile in NM.
I don't give a shit where I'm at in this town. I carry.
That may be true,but the judges and politicians that run this state are not the brightest... you'll get screwed in the end.
Every blue state turning into California
Congratulations Timothy, Mathew and Daniel
Who did you vote for?
Votes Matter.
Shame, we have the best bike trails in the whole country.
Seriously? I put those in WI and Madison far above ABQs. This city is not bicycle friendly at all.
Mac donalds is paying 14.25 an hour, clean up ,get up and get busy,your mothers, your friends, your children are looking and watching, come on ALB.
Don't let "harm reduction" policies destroy New Mexico.
Wtf
But those people don’t use shelters. They can’t drink, smoke, do drugs, or anything else in them.
Stay strapped my friends.
It is very difficult to cope with a variety of feelings when your a victim of crime, it hits you that the person who attacked you didn't care at all about what they were doing to you, its bad
You voted for woke policies and woke politicians, so enjoy it to the fullest.
Saw 4 people sleeping on the bosque bike path this morning and a couple guys sleeping on the ground at Tingley Beach park... I wish law enforcement would ensure these vagrants do not hang out at Tingley Beach where children come to explore nature!
“Hey bro”. Typical. Why not mention they were B. ????
Brown ?
Blue?
Boxers ?
Belgium?
They won't do anything like always and if you fight back we're the ones that get in trouble. Our governor won't do anything about it either. Our mayor is soft .
Carry pepper spray and/or a firearm.
Keep voting for Democratic leaders and their policies will hurt us here in Albuquerque NM I BEEN HERE MY HOLE LIFE AND SHE IS USED MY NM NEEDS US
Alleged crime…
“I’ve always had a passion for compassion…. Done what I could for these folks…. I have a new perspective now.” WELCOME TO REALITY my friend. Everyone is a democrat till they are a victim of a crime!
Actually, he'll still vote for liberal judges.
Why i dont help or welcome homeless.
Velcome to Amerika...
I lived in Albuquerque from 96-97....worked for DFACS
And ???
Nowhere safe,,,
I have been someplaces in the U.S.A., but NONE more Dangerous the Albuquerque
The Land of Entrapment is for NO GAMES, off the CHAIN.. The BREEZEWAY can get U Broke Off... They have Armed Security on the City Bus, and DETROIT Ain't got That.... Buddaque San Mateo & Menaul 💪💪💪
Scares the heck out of me when I ride by these camps!! They are also often near San Mateo and arroyo (near Comanche and all that way down to the other arroyo and up to green jeans .
Believe me when I say it was all helmet that saved your butt
Everyday Michelle shows us why democrats are so amazing ans putting their kwn people in danger 😂
If you are riding a expensive bicycle you should expect someone trying to steal it.
No. No you shouldn't. That's the problem in this city.
Why did he stop is my question…? Sounds sus or is he just that naive?
They will steal any bicycle...
Another reason to wear a helmet
VOTE BLUE AND THIS COULD BE YOU
They seem to have all the money in the world to buy endless cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs, but can't even buy their own bicycles. Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔
They steal bicycles to sell them and make money for cigarettes alcohol and drugs...
MUCHO GRACIS SENIOR BRANDON
Folks. I keep telling you. You gotta start packing.
He would be in jail if he defeated himself
...Most people will blame white Christian conservatives for these problems.
Regardless, I really hope this man takes care of himself. ♡
And just like that, a former, so-call "compassionate" liberal becomes a "rule of law" conservative after having a very personal interaction with the dregs of society.
So many Huffsters in New Mexico! Defend yourself good people!
Homeless people who if you give a home they would not take it, they prefer DRUGS !!!
The homeless should never be able to pitch camps on public infrastructure. Maybe an argument could be made that they could be on raw land (BLM or state) somewhere, but if public tax dollars improved an area, it should be open to all, and therefore not subject to someone pitching a tent.
If he didn't have to wait a week for his firearm to protect himself he would still have his bike
Always
Democrat Paradise
This is definitely a tough problem. Albuquerque is one of my favorite cities in the US and the population of homeless people has grown significantly in the last 10 years. We work and live in a society. The folks on the street do not want to be part of that or are incapable of being part of that, yet they are parasitic to it and the hosts have grown tired of it. I say we lead with compassion and end with harsh reality. You are offerred some "get back on your feelt" help on an individualized basis and, failing that, you can survive and thrive as well as you are capable, far from here.
Illegals too
God did nothing for you, learn how to defend yourself. They have nothing but time just wait until they find your garage and you come home to them inside of it
APD need more $$$😂😂😂😂.
I'm voting democrat!!! Who's with me? ✊️
Homeless ? did i hear Homeless ??? hmmmm ? lets continue on raising housing prices just like you know we'll do.
Completely unrelated..stop listening to the Leftist BS that coddle the problem..
Homeless and crime is going to get worst. Time to vote these polictian out, who want open borders.
ABQ voters keep voting for politicians that are ruining this city.
I'll-be-pukey new mexico
the homeless
Maybe because people stare. Just saying.
The criminals stole his bike and beat the crap out of him because he stared at them? That might be the dumbest thing I've heard all year...
Weird how no one ever wants to see the homeless just get home. This man didn't deserve this attack. A lot of people don't deserve to be homeless. Wages in this city are horrible, though, and that's not anything I ever hear an outcry to change either. The cost of an apartment that isn't a complete slum is another thing I never hear news stories about. The cost of utilities constantly going up, and the cost of gas and food and clothing and shoes - what type of degree does one need to be able to afford just a safe apartment that doesn't have antiquated appliances and plastic tubs and sinks that sound like you're going to crash through the floor from how incredibly old and overused they are🙄😒everyone h8s the homeless but no one is coming up with an actual solution to the problem. You people just keep having the city shuffle them from neighborhood to neighborhood and just keep complaining and complaining. Obviously some of you need to be reduced to homelessness so you can actually understand not only how outrageously difficult it is to bounce back from but how difficult it is to survive in that moment. Do they want to poop on the sidewalk? No. Do they have an alternative? I'm sure most of them actually do want a home but working for a lot of the businesses around here makes that impossible to afford. Why don't you guys ever talk about the trash wages employers around here pay and how little that can stretch to cover cost of living???? Why don't you guys talk about that????? 🙄😒 I hope the men who assaulted this poor hurting man are caught...
And would you be this concerned if it was you??? I doubt it
"Do they have an alternative?" Well, yes they do, but the shelters have rules and addicts are more concerned with the next high and what to steal to get the cash for it. So as another commenter says- rehabilitation would be a good alternative. So, how do you get these folks into rehab when they are not ready to get clean?
Normal people have credit, live in a car, have a storage unit & shower at the gym.
No reason for haveing body oder in public.
They're not "homeless," they are drug addicts.
You voted for woke policies and woke politicians, so enjoy it to the fullest.
Biden's people.
Did he stop to talk ? Or for something else ?? 😉
Ummmmm, …
meanwhile, more money for proxy wars ;)
Vote Blue for a safer America Democrats care about your safety issues
Said no one Ever!
There's only one way to bring back a high trust society.
Joe Bidens and democrats america
Democrats!🎉😂
Albuquerque has never been safer
Right. I mean we've broken the homicide record each of the last five years and property crime is among the worst per capita in the nation, but why let facts get in the way?
KOB should be in the Guinness Book of Wold's Record for having the girthiest female news anchors.
Omg 😂
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
