Regan Benson’s rampage tour continued Thursday night as she raged against automatic door locks at the Englewood, Colorado, Civic Center when the front doors of the civic center locked themselves when the Tri-Cities Homeless Initiative meeting went over time, briefly keeping her from re-entering the building.
The livestream started innocently enough with Benson explaining her reason for being so far away from home Thursday night:
So inside is um the Tri-Cities homeless scam meeting going on between Littleton and Inglewood And they’re talking about all the money that they pissed away, which totals about $20 million in ARPA funds. To address issues that cities were facing due to COVID Now, if there isn’t a more number one issue that cities across America are facing that don’t want to be, I would say homelessness is it. And There’s a reason I’m not in there.
I didn’t come to the meeting. I’m sick. I wanted to watch the meeting, but you have got to be kidding me.
You have got to be kidding me the conversation going on in there There’ve been some good things said, but they’re far and few about where’s the money? And why did Bridge House close? And why do they now own real property?
Thanks to taxpayers. That’s a scam. And people are going to prison for scamming the federal government out of COVID relief dollars.
But nobody in fucking government is gonna go to jail, are they? No, we’re gonna spend 20 fucking million dollars of ARPA money to criminalize the shit out of people. That’s where the fucking money went.
While listening to the meeting on her phone, the sometime homeless advocate was carrying a sign reading, “Which one of you career politicians give a real shit about a homeless person anywhere? All you want and demand is more jail!” On the reverse side, the sign read: “Englewood and Littleton pissed away twenty million dollars in ARPA Funds! These are the results more criminalization!”
Once inside the building, Benson found the meeting room’s door wide open and she unsuccessfully attempted to gain attention from those in attendance by holding up her sign to the window of the room.
After around 10 minutes of listening, Benson announced that she was leaving the civic center to make sure that the front doors were not locked during the meeting.
Benson began to chalk anti-government messages in the sidewalk in front of the building. The front doors were on camera during this time and the person running the meeting could be heard announcing that the meeting was running over time.
She then attempted to re-enter the building and the front doors had apparently automatically locked. Now enraged, she announced that automatic door locks were another reason why she is currently suing Englewood in federal court.
She would later gain access to the building when a security guard heard her knocking at the door. Unfortunately for the free-range grandmother, the meeting had finished at the time. She was then largely ignored by government officials and random passersby in the meeting room as she loudly exclaimed her displeasure that the door locked while the meeting was in session.
Oh hey, does Littleton lock their front doors when you guys have a public meeting? Uh the answer is no, but Englewood does. Oh well.
All you public officials in a quorum where the front doors are locked How cute is that? Maybe it’ll be it’ll be curious to receive all of those answers. And you wonder why we’re asking so many questions.
The issue is that we don’t have a little more. Hey Tim, what are you gonna unlock the front doors during a public meeting? Yeah.
Yeah, you know it’s been a problem, you know those doors lock, you know you can’t do that during a quorum for a public meeting, and you have zero intention of fixing it. Why don’t you just say that? How many years has this been going on?
Uh yeah. Yeah, no Oh, Do you lock your front doors during public meetings in Littleton? That’s correct.
Englewood however does lock people out from public meetings, which has constantly been a problem. But nobody’s gonna fix it. Trying to So yeah, Tuesday.
Reed, can you tell Tamara that locking the doors during a public meeting is frowned upon? The entrance, the main entrance. I think she’s known this for years, and I think that it just deliberately never gets fixed.
So you from Littleton met in a quorum where the public could not get in. It’s nothing new here. It’s nothing new here.
You shouldn’t be having public meetings here. If you guys care about the integrity The integrity of open meetings. Unlock the doors, Tamara.
Don’t meet behind locked doors, elected officials. Don’t meet behind locked doors. Don’t meet behind locked doors.
Mm-hmm. There’s Sally from Sheridan. How are you?
You too. Nobody’s answered my question. Which one are you actually doing actually gives a actual shit about a homeless person anywhere. Any of you? Any of you?
No , no, no. I don’t have any takers on somebody actually giving a shit about a homeless person. Anywhere? Hmm?
Hmm? Do you give a shit about a homeless person anywhere? Do you?
How do you contribute? Do you join in on this? You don’t know how to answer that?
Why am I not surprised? Uh-huh. This is Tim Dodd, the interim city manager.
Yeah, it’s like Do you two give a shit about a homeless person anywhere? I’m just curious. No?
You don’t give a shit. This is ca uh golden Warri Warren Gully, whatever her name is, County Commissioner. Blank stairs if you go talk to the county commissioners about anything.
They’re the ones that distributed the ARPA funds. Mmm, I can’t remember how many hundreds of millions of dollars Arapahoe County received. You could Google that No no no takers, no takers there, Tim You give a shit about a single homeless person anywhere?
New city attorney here. How about you, new city attorney, you give a shit about a homeless person anywhere? No. We already know Sierra gives zero shits about anyone except himself.
What’s happening lady? Good to see you. Hold on.
Benson would eventually find herself outside of the building and returned to chalking. She began to confront people as they exited the building:
This is uh this is a common practice here. Thank you. You’re welcome.
Can you answer my question? Do you give a shit about a single homeless person anywhere? That’s city council member Rikert in uh Littleton.
He was the guy that offered the Laffy Taffy. and to Candace and according to Candace I shouldn’t have took that the wrong way because he offers everyone candy apparently Mm-hmm. I’m not quite sure how he gives a shit about a single homeless person anywhere.
Um he hasn’t quite told me or showed me I guess aside from giving Candace some candy and she did fill me in on How nice he was to her one time when she participated in some government function where they went and walked the trails and he helped her load her wagon. Well that was nice. And our dear friend Candace is still in a position where she wants government to hear her Because she wants to have trust in someone.
Where they use funding. Taxpayer-supported funding. to pluck her out of society one random day because she’s moving some picnic tables in a public park And she’s still here giving them all the benefit of the doubt.
So no one can go in and engage with these elected officials because the door is locked. Now we got the city attorney standing over here. I just want to make sure that Candace is okay Good night, please.
Good night, good night sir.
Benson would go on to update the status of a hit and run accident she was involved in last year in Lone Tree, Colorado:
Y’all remember that I was involved in a hit and run. By a person who could not present any legal documents. Or any form of ID.
And the Lone Tree Police Department let her submit a false document saying that she had insurance. And then they blamed me. Mm-hmm.
I had to pay a thousand dollar deductible to get my car fixed. And then after nine months of fighting with State Farm on that I finally get a rental car that I’ve been paying for my whole life in my car policies, and some idiot slams into me in the rental car. And then State Farm tells Enterprise, oh, since we’re paying for that car, she has to pay a $1,000 deductible.
Because we don’t have any proof that accident wasn’t her fault. So if she’s going to turn that rental car in, you have to charge her her $1,000 deductible. Yeah.
Just today Just today, I finally got the last $500 of $2,000 that State Farm has owed me Since May of this year, after fighting, starting this fight in October of last year, when I got hit on I-25. And lo and behold, the Lone Tree Police Department lied to me about how they were going to prosecute her, you know, because when the accident happened, I had a warrant. At another bogus warrant by a one thug, Brian O’Neill, who is the number one O’Neal embarrassment to the long line of O’Neills that have served in the Denver Police Department.
True story. He lied. He got impeached on the stand, but in the middle of that, he and you know his girlfriend Tuton Chelsea wrote a warrant for me for violating a protection order that never existed in the first place.
It was all quite interesting. And so of course those laundry cops were gonna do a brother a favor. And stick it to me.
Well, that backfired. Eventually After I spent a lot of time out at the 23rd Judicial District, with George Brockler in his office, not with George Brockler himself, not the elected DA. My goodness.
That would be way too honorable. I am way too much of a peasant for such a thing. But anyway, George knows me well.
And I suspect that George thought, holy shit If I have this woman outside of my office saying that I ignored someone who was not legally here, legally present in the United States to plow into her. And then she get arrested for a bogus warrant in the middle of all of it. She’s probably never gonna let up on me.
So George. Eventually, did the right thing and started prosecuting the woman with the right charges. Well, guess where she is?
FTA However, what’s interesting is State Farm Subrogation Department, after I turned them into the Department of Regulatory Agencies in Colorado. Got me all my money. It’s because State Farm is an even bigger scam on the people than the government is.
But we want the government to fix it. Make it make sense She spoke no English. And uh I think she she cried pretty hard But what’s interesting is I don’t know how I got my $2,000 deductible back.
I think State Farm just said, fuck it. We’re just gonna refund this $2,000. I think.
I don’t know. Nobody’ll tell me if she made good on restitution. Why would she make good on restitution when it was like over $6,000 and then become an FTA?
Why would she do that? I don’t think she did. I think some people were worried.
About how much noise I was gonna make. Haven’t quite figured out if it was the government or state farm. But needless to say, I’m not doing business with State Farm anymore, and I have been with them since the age of 16.
True story. Unreal Yes, no, thank you. Government mandates insurance That’s also working out real well.
Benson is expected to go live again later this week.
