I took this image of kinky sex categories when I removed the homeless sex swing in April because I wanted to document the kind of stuff I found as a result of “urban camping” and young lefties playing the victim-card for anyone popping a tent and calling the riverbank home.
The lefties came out last night and, with the help of Daniel Carlino making amendment suggestions to the resolution, the meeting didn’t adjourn until nearly 4am. Was anything actually accomplished? Not really, but since I tried to watch as much of this crap as I could handle, there were some interesting things that came up, which I’ll be digging into later this week.
One of the curious things I learned came from Kristen Jordan’s prepared remarks, which she read near the end of the meeting. Was it Jordan calling out Martin Kidston for his propaganda reporting? No, but I did enjoy that part immensely. The thing that got my attention was Jordan describing how city staff has CONTACTED EMPLOYERS of those making comments to ensure they aren’t representing their organizations by making comments.
Really? I agree with Jordan’s assessment that this is a “creepy” thing for city staff to be doing, if true. Hopefully Jordan will respond to my email asking for more information on this.
Another issue that the righteous lefties brought up was the cutting of tents by Parks and Rec staff, depicting this as a very horrible, atrocious act. When Donna Gaukler got up to expound on this in front of Council, she mentioned that explosion early this year and something she called a “needle trap”. Huh? Is Gaukler referring to some kind of booby-traps being set by crisis campers?
Another aspect of the meeting I found particularly obnoxious was Zooey Zephyr’s grandstanding commentary. After turning the Montana legislative session into the Zooey Zephyr show and distracting stupid conservatives with culture war opportunities, making progress on real issues facing Montanans nearly impossible, Zephyr’s appearance was NOT appreciated by THIS homeless man.
Yeah, the poors who are crisis camping, causing explosions, and using a dirty hammock to fuck on the side of the riverbank are being treated SO UNFAIRLY! Thank goodness we have a cutting-edge transsexual person to explain what justice looks like. Thanks Zooey!
Since I am not allowed to attend City Council, and since I’m currently living in my truck, watching this shit show wasn’t easy, but thankfully the nice house I used to live in, and the internet connection I needed, were both available for me to utilize.
If you’d like to help out a local writer who has paid a steep price for exposing the corrupt Homeless Industrial Complex in Missoula, then consider donating to Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF). Any little bit helps.
Thanks for reading!
