TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! CITY HALL IGNORES INCREASED VIOLENCE AND ASSAULTS IN LOCAL PARKS TO PROMOTE LAME #TRAILSDAYKC EVENT!!!

While we attempt to brighten the mood and the morning with EPIC images of Lindsey Pelas running outdoors . . . A recent promotion from City Hall once again ignores reality.

Take a peek at this misguided promo . . .

Get outside and enjoy National Trails Day on June 4! Snap a picture of you, friends, family, and/or dog taking a walk, ride, or run on any trail in Kansas City, Missouri. Post your images on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with #TrailsDayKC for a chance to win a KCMO Prize Package. Post by 8 a.m. on Monday, June 6 to be eligible for a prize.

Nevermind that city hall promos never pay out to anyone who isn't politically connected. What's more important is that just this week KCPD confronted a creeper suspect with this junk allegedly exposed.

Budd Park was hit by arson that burned down a shelter this week as well.

And then there's the ongoing trouble near Hyde Park and spilling into the Southmoreland neighborhood.

Car break-ins were a constant at Loose Park last summer driving many people away from the area this year . . .

Most Midtown Parks turn into shooting galleries for the rising number of heroin junkies in Kansas City which also makes them unsafe for children during the day.

And we all know dead bodies regularly turn up in Swope Park.

To wit . . .

THIS KANSAS CITY PROMOTION FOR PARKS AND TRAILS PUTS THE LIVES OF LOCAL AT RISK AND IGNORES THE RISING DANGER ON LOCAL TRAILS!!!

Put simply, KC Parks & Trails can turn dangerous quickly and this bit of social media hype ignores this tragic fact of local life.

You decide . . .
