Yet another press savvy Kansas City preacher claims a victory over violence.

Check it . . .

Bishop Tony Caldwell and his church group apparently are keeping Kansas City safe: ATA peacekeepers prevent another metro bus assault from happening

Not sure but I have (a feeling of imminent) fail that these good folks can keep all of the traffic in Kansas City safe BUT if their story is to be believed, than this is a nice start. (UPDATE: Sloppy sentence . . . Sorry, I was tired.)

  2. Start? According to the story, Tony, they have been "patrolling" buses for two months. And they've stopped one incident?

    What I call "bullshit" on is "Bishop" Caldwell's statement that buses are raucous and unruly until his "peacekeepers" come on board in uniform, then it all quiets down.

    As a daily rider of the Armor-Paseo for several years, 99.99999 percent of bus riders get on, sit down, and get off.

    Now I know that Tony wants to portray the entire city, including buses, as dangerous places. But that's simply not the reality.

    As a matter of fact, I feel far less threatened far less often riding a bus than I did competing with road rage drivers in traffic.

  3. I'm calling bullshit because the perp was white. You know a white person would never do that.

  4. I'm calling "bullshit" on the characterization of this as an "attack". Fuck, dude pushed the driver in the shoulder- all of one time.

    Compare that to the youthful exhuberance of the beat downs of the other drivers administered by local youth.

    Not even close.

  5. Can't wait for the first time the peacekeepers try to stop an attack on a driver by our urban youth. It will be an all out melee- with high entertainment value.

  7. He looked Latino to me.

    I've never felt unsafe on a bus, but you can't deny the fact that we've had three assaults on bus drivers or passengers in the news in the past year. That doesn't even take into account the issues the don't escalate to extreme physical violence.

    Tony doesn't have to portray the city as violent... statistics show that we are among the most violent cities in America per capita, and our citizens continue to move toward the suburbs. We like to blame the schools, but I promise you that security plays a much larger role than we acknowledge.

    There was a flasher at one school in my neighborhood. There was a daytime shooting while kids were on the playground at another school. There was a homicide in front of a home right behind the soccer field at my daughter's school while kids were playing. These are issues that the mayor says his hands are tied on.

    I didn't vote for a mayor who spends money and builds streetcars and hotels. I voted for a mayor who was interested in fighting crime. This guy can't even keep his own kid out of jail. What a joke.

  9. 6:59, funny how you, personally, have never felt unsafe on a bus, but three incidents over the course of the year means that buses are very violent places to be.

    Good grief, thousands upon thousands of people ride the buses every day making hundreds upon hundreds of trips.

    I will guarantee you that there will be more "incidents" involving unruly fans at Arrowhead on Sunday than there will be on buses the entire month.

  10. Absolutely fake. No one could have watched that and thought it was for real. Just another pathetic KCMO attempt to justify the activist groups and vigils.

  11. Maybe, just maybe... with all of the police check points this summer actually worked to extract some of the thug element from the streets temporarily. That's a possibility too.

  12. "Bishop" Caldwell....haha...that's funny everytime I see it!!

    This scammer has appeared previously on this blog. His "bishop" title is phony and he simply self-appointed himself a bishop.

    You, dear reader, may as well start referring to yourself as "Pope", "His Eminence", or whatever holy title you prefer.

  13. Why not hire Epic Beard Man as security chief for ATA?

  14. Wonder what liability is involved in this....if alleged attacker turns out didnt do anything wrong in a case like this....but gets roughed up by vigilantes.
