We posted a note for this tribute earlier in the week and now the local news picks up the story.
More importantly . . .
THIS HAS BEEN A HISTORICALLY BLOODY YEAR IN KANSAS CITY WHILST CITY HALL HAS BEEN MOSTLY FOCUSED ON MAYOR SLY'S DEVELOPMENT AGENDA!!!
Police are fighting for their budget, the Citizen Task force against violence turned out to be a bad joke and worst of all . . .
NEITHER LAW ENFORCEMENT NOR CITY HALL HAS REVEALED A NEW PLAN TO CONFRONT THE RISE IN KANSAS CITY MURDER!!!
Here's a local faith community calling attention to the problem:
Community members came together on Saturday afternoon to pray for those killed in 2017. Norton Heights Community of Christ church held a prayer vigil for all of the city’s 137 homicide victims.
“It’s really just a tragedy, of this loss of life because every life is of value, every life is important,” said Pastor Peter Judd of Norton Heights Community of Christ.
Judd says church members felt compelled to do something because of the city’s alarmingly high homicide rate. They hope that by displaying the crosses near a busy intersection in a Historic Northeast neighborhood, it sends a message to passers by.

A little less than three weeks. KC has punted on this issue and in the future we're only going to get more vigils and more commissions, tasks forces and meetings. This is the new normal.

ReplyDeleteNot really. For the most part, the lives of the black gangbangers and black killers are are the only silver lining around the black cloud that represents the black population, which encourages and makes excuses for the violence that blacks inevitably produce.
Far better if there were 10,000 killed a month.
Opening soon the new shop "Vigil" specializing in candles and balloons in all shapes and sizes.

ReplyDeleteKcpd sucks at their job.
ReplyDeleteSo does Jean Petersucker Baker
DeleteKCPD does a terrible job.
ReplyDelete137 isn’t that good. Baltimore had 326 going into Saturday. It would be great if we could beat them next year.
ReplyDeleteWith Jean Petersucker Baker as prosecutor, we have a chance.
DeleteAt the present rate of killing, with zero population growth, KC will still have boons 6000 years from now. We need to see more of those little felons with guns and speed things up a little.
ReplyDeleteIf the pussy Southerners hadn’t been too lazy to pick their own cotton, we wouldn’t be talking about this
ReplyDeleteTrying for 150.
