What Does Tonight’s Downtown Gun Incident Mean For “Public Safety”? – by Travis Mateer

I’ve had a few new commenters recently but the one I’m thinking of after the shooting tonight in downtown Missoula is the one who inquired what kind of retard I am. Why? Because the post, as the title indicates—“The Real Dynamics Behind The “Emerging Issue” Of Youth Gang Activity”—is about gang activity in Missoula and how the narrative around “gangs” needs to be carefully controlled, lest we spook the golden college geese and lucrative tourist trade. 

To answer “reno’s” question, I’m the type of retard who goes TOWARD the shelter in place rope-off zone because I wanted to see for myself how Missoula’s version of the wild west turned the Tuesday before Thanksgiving into a two-block crime scene. I wonder if any visiting tourists were out for a brisk stroll around 7:30pm-8:00pm when gunshots rang out by the parking garage? Not a good look.

While I can’t say at this point that the Griz losing their football game had anything to do with the shooting, I certainly CAN (and did) crack a joke at the Rhino insinuating someone didn’t appreciate losing. Maybe I still had Ty Gregorak on the brain—the former Griz football coach who got fired from his UNLV coaching job after stealing a bouncer’s gun and wallet in Colorado. Go Griz!

The comment on Facebook that most specifically describes the incident that occurred tonight is from Tim Christensen. Here’s a screenshot:

Earlier this month, on November 15th, another gun incident allegedly occurred, but this was just a brandishing. Here’s how KGVO reported this incident:

On November 15, 2025, Missoula Police Department officers were dispatched to Pie Hole for a report of intimidation. Officers were informed by dispatch that a 911 call had been placed by an individual who reported a male in a black truck had pulled a pistol on people and had left.

Upon arrival, an officer observed approximately 20 people within the restaurant. The officer received information that the disturbance involved two females. The officer recognized one of the females, P.G., and spoke with her. The other officer spoke with the other female, Z.G.

P.G. stated a male she knew, 29-year-old Robert Zawlocki, was involved in some disturbance at Pie Hole with her three male friends. P.G. stated the disturbance occurred outside on the sidewalk in front of the business. P.G. said that once the males separated from each other, Robert walked eastbound across Higgins Ave., where his black truck was parked. Robert then pulled out a black handgun and pointed it at P.G., Z.G., and the crowd of people inside the Pie Hole.

And here is how I framed the KGVO reporting on X:

What does this mean for public safety? If the public remains largely ignorant of street violence, tonight’s shooting won’t mean anything, and that will be good for those who understand how much is riding on the major development coming to save the lagging Missoula tax base from deficits and TIF remittances. This is why the public MUST be protected from reality.

On Removing The Limited Benefits Of AI For Regular Joes- by Travis Mateer

A recent update to rule requirements for the Fourth Judicial District Court in Montana could have a HUGE impact, but not even the clerk’s office, according to my source, realizes this update has been made. Here’s a screenshot of the update (3G is the requirement to pay attention to):

Why does this matter? I’ll try to explain why this matters in terms those of you who have NOT experienced the mighty dildo of justice can understand.

Lawyers, and the legal system they “work”, are some of the most vile gatekeepers in Montana. When you choose to go “pro se”, like I have tried to do, the judge will tell you how monumentally disadvantaged your legal position will be with handling the most basic functions of the courts, like writing and filing motions. For me, using AI has helped level the playing field, which is skewed to the point of absurdity.

While my use of ChatGPT to navigate the courts has been limited, I know someone who has been using “generative AI” to great success, and because of this success he thinks it’s a little odd that ONLY the Montana Fourth Judicial Court appears to have instituted this new requirement (I haven’t double-checked this claim yet). If true, this could be a quick and sloppy scramble by the almost-totally-fucked judicial system in Montana that used a BBC dildo for my free speech rights while that same judge moved to protect his precious bathrooms.

For a court that I’ve personally seen barely function because it’s clogged with cases and presided over by activist judges (a symptom of society breaking down in real time), this new requirement will allow any case not properly citing the use of generative AI to be thrown out. Pretty interesting for a move that hardly anyone knows about.

Montana’s legal system is far beyond being a bad joke–it’s a lawfare-generating circus run by well-paid clowns who help judges and prosecutors destroy people’s lives. When I had money, I couldn’t find a single law office in all of Western Montana willing to help legally shield me from a professional victim and her United Way-backed campaign to ruin me. And now, after more than two years of hell, I owe hundreds of dollars to district court, hundreds of dollars to misdemeanor supervision, and there’s a $515 dollar hold on my license from the weed DUI the city had to drop when they couldn’t even show up for the trial scheduling.

It’s this unchecked power of prosecutors and judges that I believe has inspired them to play the victim card for themselves under the auspices of “vicarious trauma”. I suspect they know all the lives destroyed by their biased, selective, and increasingly politically-motivated actions make them VERY despised by more and more people. Why else would the bathroom judge bitch about Courthouse security?

Since my most-needed resource right now is money, here’s the link to my gofundme page. Thank you to those who have recently donated and reached out, it’s been quite a painful education these last few years, but the lessons are valuable ones I am trying to appreciate, for what it’s worth.
