A lot of people don't know that that guy in this photo is dead of an apparent suicide. While the image is thought of as a symbol of resistance, some claim he was just trying to throw tear gas away from a group of youngsters so that they could riot safely into the evening hours. Also, everybody ignores the bag of chips in his other hand that provokes just a bit of levity in the midst of the action shot.
NBC: Ferguson Protester Edward Crawford, Subject of Iconic Photo, Found Dead
And so, the season of murder in Kansas City continues with our blog community reporting a simple Kansas City fact . . .
WARNINGS FROM AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN IGNORED IN KANSAS CITY AS FIREWORKS AND GUN SHOTS ECHO THROUGHOUT MIDTOWN AND EVEN INTO THE SUBURBS TONIGHT!!!
To be fair, the gunshots are typical and probably don't have anything to do with celebrating the Independence of the United States.
Still, we can only hope that locals will pay heed (nullus) to advice warning against pointless gunfire as the 4th approaches.
Either way, gunfire and explosions provide the real soundtrack for this evening BUT we thought these tunes would offer some accompaniment for fellow insomniacs, shift workers, night owls, burnouts, zombies and all of the KICK-ASS denizens of our blog community.
As always, thanks for reading this week and have a safe and fun Saturday night.
Add the motorcycles into the mix. They're out again in full force off 71.

Those are Old Vienna Red Hot Riplets, an STL favorite, the deceased 27 YO father of four was holding while heaving the gas canister
ReplyDeleteTjem things are obviously so hot they make you toss fireballs...
DeleteYawn! The good news is the KC murder rate will save tax payers millions in entitlements.
ReplyDeleteIt sure will! Especially when you consider the cost of black America. If you are a white American, over the course of your lifetime the federal government will, on average and on your behalf, transfer $384,109 of your wealth and income to a single black individual.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the data derived from the 2014 federal budget, the average annual net tax/benefit broke down as follows:
White: -$2,795
Black: +$10,016
Over the course of an average 79-year lifespan, a white individual contributes a net $220,805 to the system, whereas over the course of an average 75-year lifespan, a black individual receives a net $751,200. However, since there are 4.6 times more whites than blacks in the USA, the black share has to be divided among the various contributors to sort out a one-to-one comparison.
So, the net cost to the average White American of the average Black American is $384,109. Married? That's $768,218. Got 2 kids? That's $1,536,436. 4 kids? Now we're talking $2,304,654 lifetime.
Diversity is expensive. Now you understand why you won't have much of an inheritance to leave to your children. Do you really think it's worth it? And then, those natural conservatives to the south, the Hispanics, will surely improve the situation, right? After all, immigration helps the economy! Well, not so much.
Hispanic: +7,298
In fact, because there are more Hispanics in the USA than Blacks, Hispanics are already a bigger cumulative net drain on the economy, $411,950,000,000 to $389,710,000,000. Needless to say, the ongoing demographic change from a predominantly white society to a less productive, less white one can be expected to have even more serious negative effects on the long-term economic prospects of the United States that it already has.
To quote the original author: "The negative fiscal impact of blacks and hispanics is significant. All of this discussion of a “national debt” and “deficit” is primarily of function of blacks and hispanics. Without them, we would be running budget surpluses today, even when keeping the military the same size."
