Good editorial by the Register-Guard. I don't say that very often, but I give credit when it is due.

Now the city council must take action to make sure this does not escalate further. It is time to pass a few ordinances (if they don't already exist) requiring onlookers to maintain a greater distance from and noise levels that will not interfere with police performing an arrest, and most importantly build a jail as Springfield has done so consequences can be imposed on those who have realized there are no consequences to speak of in Eugene and who use that sad reality to break the law repeatedly.
