Rainbow family settles in Ocala National Forest

[garretthammond]

All I’m gonna say is we have a cabin out in Ocala National Forest and in February after hunting it SUCKS to go up there. Everyone is drunk and you have to be scared to walk through the woods. Not to mention after they all leave the amount of trash all over the place is absolutely insane. Bags of trash all up and down the dirt roads it’s so bad.

I lived in a Cabin in the Ocala National Forest for a couple of years and these people make a mess of everything! I even caught some of these people stealing buckets from my back yard and their excuse was that we should share everything and I had them share 5 bucks for one of my buckets! LOL they called me a Capitalist !!!

Admitted to being unemployed as if its a sin

I wanted to hear from the man who came to the USA as a slave. That’s so fascinating and we could have learned so much from that. The news crew really missed a fascinating and enlightening story with that one.

If you really want to get back to nature try one of your little camp outs during hurricane season

Actually you have good rainbow gatherings and bad one. I was one in Ocala 20 years aago that was life changing.

Yuck. The next stop for the Rainbows :  Showing up en masse at music festivals and asking paying customers if they can cut the excess off their admission bracelets so that they can tape them together and make one for free.  It's happened to me every time I've been to one.

They bring more trouble than anything else. Crime goes up and they trash the hell out of any place they camp.

[gribbstone]

they do more damage than they like to think

[McShibby]

I remember the first year they showed up in Ocala around 2001 up at Hopkins Prairie. They had loud drums and played music all night twirling fire sticks. They became a nuisance and eventually got banned from Hopkins

There is a far greater purpose for us and the world, more than we can see or some would like us to see.
We must carry on and trust infinitely the power of the soul.

Positive? I like how you enjoy the freedom of society because of people who fought for it. Not believing in it is naive

One year a women traveling with the gathering had a baby she named Ocala.

I'm for starting a fund to buy them all buss tickets back to the west coast

I love how in a capitalist society the worst thing that anyone can ever accuse you of being is unemployed. Completely out of context and having nothing to do with anything else. The newscaster says “a number of them have admitted to being unemployed.” What the hell does being unemployed have to do with you enjoying the forest? Do the trees mind? The wildlife look at you funny? Newsflash! All the animals in the forest are unemployed too. I don’t think they care. But this is how you throw shade on someone in a capitalist society. This is how you try to cast doubt on their character.
We’ve been coming to Ocala for years, and have been doing the exact same thing, and still they try to find ways to slander us. 🙄
Worry about the goddamn serial killers, and satanic cult ritualistic you got going on in your forest, and less about us. We’re not the ones swinging people by the ankles from the trees, and bled out like pigs. Have a little taste of that and you’ll come running to me and my rainbow family as saints compared to the dark side of what goes on in Ocala National Forest.
