Controversy in Kalispell, Montana: Homeless Shelter Permit Revoked

by Christian Britschgi, Reason, October 15, 2024

Excerpt:

In a surprising turn of events, the city council of Kalispell, Montana, made the unprecedented decision to revoke a permit granted to a local shelter that provided warmth and shelter to the homeless community during the harsh winter months.

City councilmembers justified their actions by blaming the privately funded Flathead Warming Center for attracting homeless individuals from outside the community, leading to an increase in crime and disorder in the neighborhood.

The Flathead Warming Center vehemently denies these allegations, claiming that the permit revocation was carried out unlawfully through an ad hoc process.

DRH comment: The incident raises questions about the role of government in regulating private shelters and addressing homelessness.

A Closer Look at America’s Criminal Justice System

by Clark Nelly, Cato at Liberty, October 15, 2024.

Contrary to popular belief, America’s criminal justice system is deeply flawed, with civil forfeiture often resembling legalized theft. The system’s perverse incentives, lax procedures, and lack of accountability contribute to widespread abuse. The notion of a “blue wall of silence” protects those involved in police misconduct more effectively than portrayed in fictional narratives like Rebel Ridge.

Underfunding and overworking public defenders also hinder access to justice, limiting the ability to provide adequate legal representation to defendants.
