Republican candidates, like Aaron Flint, LOVE to hate Missoula because they use this town as a convenient scapegoat exemplifying the failure of leftist policies. Recently this strategy reared its retarded head with a post on Aaron Flint’s Facebook page where he highlighted Missoula’s urban camping/drug addiction problem and made a claim I’m calling BULLSHIT on!
As someone who considers himself a Homeless Industrial Complex whistleblower credibly warning about a “non-profit” grift for YEARS, I would REALLY like to know HOW exactly Aaron Flint has “fought back against all of it” because NO YOU HAVEN’T!
Did Aaron Flint have anything to say when the REPUBLICAN Governor, Greg Gianforte, gave a quarter of his annual salary to one of the MAIN ENABLERS of this corrupt homeless system in Missoula, Susan Hay Patrick?
Or, was Aaron Flint a little bitch who kept his mouth shut because he’s a partisan talking head with not much else going on in his little partisan brain?
Two years before Greg Gianforte gave United Way money to help Susan Hay Patrick control the homeless narrative for Montana Democrats, Aaron Flint DID notice some homeless drama in Missoula, which he covered like the media punk that he is.
Pathetic.
One of the big complaints with liberal cities like Portland, Seattle, and Missoula is that when you build massive homeless shelters or allow homeless camps, you encourage the transient population to move in and take hold. A frequent criticism of the city’s housing problem by Missoulians is that “if you build it, they will come.” John Jackson used the Field of Dreams analogy with this story as well:
I also thought that it was pretty ironic that some of the same Left-leaning folks who are all about forcing masks on people, sure as heck didn’t like the fact that private security guards were wearing masks while patrolling a homeless encampment in Missoula. And what I said back in August sadly still applies today towards the end of December: Maybe we can take this opportunity to end these absurd mask mandates for our healthcare personnel and veterans once and for all?
For Aaron Flint, who had one of the biggest media platforms for conservatives in the state at the time of this “news” article, the drama within one of Missoula’s homeless programs was just an opportunity to take a political shot at the mask mandate from the other side of the state.
If this is what a Veteran like Flint considers “fighting”, no wonder America can’t win wars anymore, foreign or domestic. Like, say, the WAR ON DRUGS.
Is this why kids got NARCAN at a recent parade in Missoula instead of candy? Because this kind of defeatist, pro-cartel insanity (keeping addicts alive to make cartels more money) actually happened, according to a comment on Aaron Flint’s Facebook post about Missoula’s homeless transient problem.
The last comment in this curated comment thread comes from Mike Dominick, a former member of the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office who I interacted with regarding the disappearance of Monte Swanson, a homeless man who WAS from Missoula before being killed, I believe, by the serial killer I tried helping Missoula cops catch, Kevin Lino (who came from the land of Massholes).
Another local known to law enforcement without a consistent residence in Missoula (who I wrote about recently in relation to the death of Johnny Lee Perry) seems to be a current problem who, because of his threatening conduct online, had to be banned from a Facebook page after making threats to the people who voluntarily clean up homeless trash in the dirt parking lot owned by Brad Morris, the proprietor of Snowbowl.
Here’s what Jack Maxvill looks like, along with an example of his online commentary, because locals should PROTECT THEMSELVES by understanding someone like this is reportedly involved (according to my source) with organized panhandling and, I suspect, quite possibly drug and/or human trafficking, but at a low enough level that he’s allowed to to behave in this manner because of what I’m going to start calling HEADLINE policing as opposed to STREET policing, which I’ll explain in a moment.
From my vantage point, Jack is just a Mineral County boy exhibiting that criminal persistence to keep hustling that makes a street-wise citizen journalist like me wonder if he’s one of the many informants working covertly with law enforcement, but, being street-wise, I have to remind myself that most people rely on more official HEADLINES to gauge what’s going on in their own backyard, not street wisdom, so this “policing for headlines” thing is a phenomenon I’m particularly frustrated by (I’ll write more about this in a later post).
While Jack Maxvill does his thing at the I-90/Reserve Street exit, and Aaron Flint does his thing pretending he’s fought against transient drug culture, I continue to walk around in my own neighborhood documenting urban camp whack-a-mole, which Missoula is spending MILLIONS doing because we’re led by corrupt fucktards and professional victims.
Have I mentioned how much I despise this town recently? Because I really do.
The area where I documented this trash earlier this month had just been cleaned a few days previous, and the new pile of trash was now on PRIVATE land instead of public, hence the whack-a-mole reference.
Since I like to actually contextualize the drug impacts happening in this town without casting partisan blame, I’m not just documenting trash in order to publish poverty porn, like those Discovery Institute grifters.
No, I’m interested in showing WHY the merry-go-round continues, and it’s because partisan critics can only criticize the SMALL SLICE of reality that avoids their own teams’ complicity in this bullshit.
While Sam Forstag, according to his own Wikipedia page, once lobbied to get money for Missoula to perpetuate things like United Way’s NARCAN program…
After graduation in 2017, he took a job as a wildland firefighter in order to pay off student loan debt, intending to apply to law school. Instead he served as a wildland firefighter for eight years, including four years as a smokejumper. During the off seasons, he worked as an organizer and lobbyist for the Montana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and for lobbying group Central House Strategies, where he represented the city of Missoula.
…Aaron Flint carries narrative control water for the other side of this issue, and that’s the harder-to-see corruption of local law enforcement as Montana’s Attorney General, Austin Knudsen, positions himself to run for Governor.
To finish up today’s post I’d like to congratulate United Way of Missoula County’s CEO, Susan Hay Patrick, for being one of many intelligent rats jumping ship amidst the well-deserved collapse of their political party in Montana. If anyone is responsible for taking a 10 Year Plan to “end” homelessness and doing the exact opposite, it’s this nasty woman:
While overseeing the expansion of the Homeless Industrial Complex in Missoula has taken a visual toll on this non-profit operator, I hope her mind is sharp enough to remember the good ‘ol days, when my relative youth and systemic ignorance made me an ideal foot-soldier in her money/politics/culture games.
After watching Susan say “good trouble” last night with that fake-ass smile, then going through all the individuals at City Council who are apparently “stuck” with her (was that a threat for her co-conspirators to keep their mouths shut?), I turned off my computer before I got lured into calling in and using words to commit some new felony.
I’ll safe that kind of criminal conduct for this free blog, which you can support financially here if you care.
Thanks for reading!
