Police shut down several streets in Westport overnight as they attempted to arrest a robbery suspect.
Seriously, I like local entertainment better than anybody and I chose Westport everyday over the P&L District and twice on Saturday . . . BUT, the place is starting to feel like a battleground.

Westport isn't getting worse, crime in this town, mostly coming out of the poor black community, is completely out of control.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the solution but if we continue to ignore it KC should look like detroit in five years.
I lived in Detroit. Crime in Kansas City is bad all over, so don't just blame "poor blacks" and Kansas City is actually no safer or better off than Detroit RIGHT NOW, contrary to popular belief and media-influenced perceptions. The problem starts with gutting out the leadership and getting people of all races an adequate education, jobs that pay liveable wages, quality health care and affordable housing in safe, clean neighborhoods so that they will have something to live for and look forward to. When you improve a person's quality of life and equal social, political, economical and educational opportunities, you instill in them hope, pride, dignity, respect for themselves and others and equal opportunities. Only then will we be able to repair the damage done to this city, but we must rid ourselves of the incompetent and corrupt leadership like Detroit has done and is doing.
ReplyDeleteLeadesrship starts at home and until the black culture demands better fathering things will not change. Quit blaming others and get the family unit back together.
ReplyDelete"Seriously, I like local entertainment"
ReplyDeleteSeriously, your local entertainment seems to consist of a handful of Kleenex, bottle of Jergens and the 'net in the basement.
How can you write such schlock?
Am I gonna have to come down there to Westport and kick some ass?
ReplyDeleteMan, am I glad I live out in country.
ReplyDeleteGood words anon 7:56. The black community need to get the family unit back. If that doesn't work than go with what Hila says.
Yeah, they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps! No if they could just afford the boots.
ReplyDeleteAfford boots?!?
ReplyDeleteIf they can afford $125 basketball shoes, boots shouldn't be a problem.
The $125 basketball shoes come AFTER you get a $4000 TV from Aaron's rent to own, get a $300 XBox 360, about $400 in games, spend $600 on gold grills, and then another $5000 getting rims and low profile tires. After that, if you can stretch your welfare and WIC checks a little further, you might get some Hennessy.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's causes of crime commited by whites or even Hispanics? Please social scientist I would like to know. It seems every other criminal in the world is viewed just for his or her own actions but the actions of a black criminal reflect on the whole race.
ReplyDeleteBecause the black "race" is more out of control than any other and people are sick of them blaming their problems on everyone but themselves.
