    Bangor considers starting a sanctioned homeless encampment

    by WVIIWed, December 3, 2025

    BANGOR, Maine (WVII) -- "City leaders in Bangor are considering a new approach to Maine’s homelessness crisis: a city-established and regulated encampment.

    "For years, the city has been clearing encampments, including Tent City, also known as Camp Hope, which was Bangor’s largest homeless encampment and was taken down in February.

    "However, a new encampment has emerged along the railroad tracks behind the plaza at Washington and Exchange Street.

    " 'We were living, okay. Here, there, everywhere. But every time we set up a place, the cops move us. And tell us you can’t be here, got to keep going, to keep going,' said David Ackley, who's been living at the encampment. 'Then I found out that there’s no railroad police down here, and they said that long as you’re on that side of the road tracks, you’re fine until so forth.'

    "City officials say this new encampment is creating safety concerns. So, they are considering a new regulated encampment as a safer, more sustainable alternative.

    " 'We can’t keep doing insanity, repeating the same thing over and over and over again,' Bangor City Councilor Joseph Leonard said. 'A sanctioned encampment site that allows the city to regulate, establish laws, get citizens there to actually represent themselves into actually produce rules and order to maintain the community that’s there — that makes it much easier for social services, for EMS, for police to be able to get in there.' "

  7. Meanwhile, in #Maine...

    How Concerned Citizens Drove a #NeoNazi Out of Rural Maine

    #ChristopherPohlhaus wanted to build a #fascist training compound in America’s whitest state. His neighbors had other plans.

    by Mira Ptacin | The Atavist Magazine | October 31, 2024

    "The first step in establishing a neo-Nazi compound is to clear and level the land. These sites tend to pop up in rural America, which means that there’s brush to hack down, tree stumps to pull up, and piles of debris to burn. All this work is done to make room for the barracks, kitchens, and meeting halls where modern-day devotees of Adolf Hitler will live, work, and train together.

    "When Christopher Pohlhaus moved to the forested lot where, like other neo-Nazis on other forested lots before him, he planned to start a fascist revolution, he brought two RVs with him. That meant he had somewhere to bunk down at night. But he didn’t have running water. I can’t say how he bathed when he first arrived; as for other matters of hygiene, perhaps he used the woods.

    "Pohlhaus’s parcel of 10.6 acres does not have an address. Technically, it’s in #SpringfieldMaine, a hamlet of fewer than 300 people. The closest city, about an hour’s drive away, is #BangorMaine. That’s where Pohlhaus, a gym rat, eventually joined Planet Fitness. To get home after a session of lifting, showering, and doing whatever else he needed to do, Pohlhaus would take Route 2 north, then turn eastward on Route 6. He would drive to Bottle Lake Road, take a right, and drive about two miles before taking another right on a gravel lane called Moores Road. Eventually, among scattered hunting camps, Trump banners, and 'Support the Blue' signs, he would come to a metal gate situated on a dirt road. Behind the gate sat the land of Pohlhaus’s dreams.

    "Pohlhaus, 37, is a former U.S. marine, an itinerant tattoo artist, and a hardcore white-supremacist influencer. He is loud and hostile, and proud to be both. His voice is pitched surprisingly high, and he has a slight Southern drawl. He has a large body and small bald head; a blue-black tattoo crawls up the right side of his face, from his chin to his forehead. Over the years, Pohlhaus has collected thousands of social media followers, who know him by his nickname: #Hammer.

    "Hammer had been living in Texas for a few years when, in March 2022, he bought the land in Maine. He told his followers that he was going to use it to build a haven, operational center, and training ground for white supremacists. He invited them to join him. Together, he said, they would plant the seed of a #WhiteEthnostate, and they would engage in violence, if necessary, to nurture it. 'An unarmed man sacrifices his family to the unpredictably [sic] of chaos,' Hammer wrote online in 2021.

    "Hammer packed his bags and headed north, meeting with various white supremacists along the way. He solicited donations for his new compound in the form of cryptocurrency, and later set up a page on GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site. He raised close to $10,000 before the campaign was shut down earlier this year.

    "Once he’d settled in Maine, Hammer kept his followers abreast of his progress breaking ground, frequently posting photos and uploading videos to Telegram. There was Hammer standing next to a pile of freshly chopped wood, snowshoeing through the forest, holding a beer in front of a bonfire. Followers saw him cradling an AK-47 in his arms. (Caption: 'All this Slavic war training in the Maine woods has me exhausted!') Hammer posted footage from a celebration he held with about eight of his followers, where he claimed they sacrificed a goat. Another clip showed Hammer helping a man in a balaclava slice the palm of his hand as part of an initiation ritual.

    "Hammer appeared excited, optimistic. He was careful—or thought that he was careful—not to reveal his exact location, lest it attract unwanted attention from his enemies, including the media and the FBI. If people wanted to join him at the compound, they could get in touch directly.

    "But unbeknownst to Hammer, he was being followed. A longtime #Mainer was determined to wipe the smirk off the neo-Nazi’s face. Indeed, he hoped to run Hammer out of the state for good."

  13. Now let's get #BangorMaine to #divest

    #Bangor Stand-Out

    Wednesday, September 11, 2024
    12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    Penobscot County Democratic Party
    207 Exchange Street
    Bangor, ME, 04401
    United States

    "We normally hold a vigil/standout every Wednesday from noon-12:30 PM at the corner of Harlow and Central Streets (across from where the old and eventually renovated Bangor City Hall stands and near Peirce Park) to support a ceasefire, an end to the killing in Gaza and of all Palestinians, and a stop to all US weapons shipments to the Israeli government. The vigil/standout will take place as usual on September 4 and again September 18, 25, etc. JOIN US!

    "However, on September 11, 2024, 12 noon-12:30 PM (maybe later), we will stand outside the headquarters of the Penobscot County Democratic Party at 207 Exchange Street (about 1 1/2 blocks from our usual location) and hope to have a conversation with #MaineDemocrats in or coming to the office about the current policy of failure to achieve a ceasefire and the continued US government support for the Israeli military and settler attacks against Palestinians, especially in Gaza but also on the West Bank. (Anyone who wishes to stand in our usual location of Harlow and Center Streets is welcome to do so.) Bring signs, or we will have some available also. We hope some media will also be present."

  14. No Business As Usual: Boycott #Genocide

    Friday, May 31, 2024
    5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

    Paul Bunyan Statue
    519 Main Street
    #BangorMaine 04401
    United States

    On Friday May 31st, members from several organizations will engage in a standout outside the #DemocraticConvention in Bangor, ME to call out the #DemocraticParty for their complicity with Israel’s genocide in Palestine.

    As we witness the ongoing assault in #Rafah, which has been condemned and ordered to stop by the International Court of Justice [#ICC], Democrats and #Republicans continue to join forces to send weapons and facilitate this onslaught, which has led to the deaths of over 35,000 #Palestinians. Despite Joe Biden saying he would halt “offensive” weapons and despite deeming the invasion of Rafah a "red line,” he has authorized billions more in weapons shipments used to massacre Palestinian civilians.

    We will be meeting at 5 PM by the Paul Bunyan Statue outside the Cross Insurance Center, where we will expect to peacefully protest, distribute educational materials, and appeal to the state Democratic party delegates to support us in calling for an end to this genocide.

    #FreePalestine!
