A tragic story out of Denver: a five-year-old girl plunged six stories from a window at a city-run homeless shelter. According to Denver7, her parents cracked it open because the heat inside their room was unbearable and there was no AC. The shelter, overwhelmed by demand and under-supported by staffing and resources, is operated by the City of Denver—our proud sanctuary city that can’t even keep its windows safe.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Government-run shelter turned into a sweatbox? Fantastic use of your tax money.
- A five-year-old falls six stories because the window didn’t have proper safety barriers—just vibes and prayers.
- The city blames staffing shortages… again. Like they didn’t expect demand in a state with sky-high housing costs and open-border policies.
- Colorado’s genius leadership pours millions into virtue-signaling while families boil in concrete boxes labeled “shelters.”
- Here’s a radical thought: maybe this shouldn’t be left to bureaucrats with clipboards who clock out at 5.
My Bottom Line
Folks, this is what you get when government tries to wear all the hats in society. They run shelters like they run everything else—with soggy duct tape solutions wrapped around bloated budgets and hollow press releases. A little girl fell six damn stories because her family had to crack open a window just to breathe without melting. Safety measures? Staffing? Cool air? Nah—we’re too busy declaring climate emergencies and throwing money at refugee welcome centers to notice that our own people are baking alive in high-rise hellholes.
Now let me ask the question nobody dares: where is the church? Not metaphorically—literally. Where are the congregations reaching out to house folks with nowhere to go? Where are the pews full of compassionate people stepping into this void before government botches it? Fixing homelessness isn’t something Uncle Sam should—or can—do alone. It’s gonna take society waking up from its Instagram slumber and realizing that “good intentions” don’t mean squat if they don’t come with action.
Yeah, I’m angry. You should be too. Because if we’re waiting on politicians to fix broken people with bad policies… kids will keep falling through literal cracks while officials pose for ribbon cuttings no one asked for.
