So many people decry the "stop snitching" mythology of hip-hop music . . . Yet it seems that politicos in Kansas City proper are abiding by a remarkably similar "code of silence" when it comes to speaking out on local violence.
Yes, there was a nice snitching program that was recently launched that seems promising . . .
Sadly, local politicos are more interested in . . .
Developer giveaways
Urban Chickens
Plaza Condos
Fundraising
Meanwhile, Kansas City continues to kill itself . . .
A great link from RDM: Where's the mayor at on crime?
I guess Diana Kander has not figured out a warm and fuzzy way for the Mayor to frame the issue of death in our streets and homes, yet?
ReplyDeleteThe Sly James Bully Brigade informed me that's its only been three months. They also asked for my suggestions.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is to further empower men like Brandon Ellington.
City Hall has been silent on crime for years. This whole fucking city is afraid of a few loud mouth black ministers on the East side.
ReplyDeleteByron, you and several others have question why Sly James, has over looked Brandon Ellington. Only thought that comes to my mind is, Ellington won't will actually do something for the average citizan.
ReplyDeleteWhat would you expect. This crowd is only interested in money not people.
ReplyDeleteSly the sell out Mayor, maybe a crime fundraiser will get his attention.
ReplyDeleteCity Hall won't stop the killing due to the fact that it will be easier to take their land.
ReplyDeleteLet's hold a candlelight vigil hoping to hear from the Mayor.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a Mayor in Kansas City, Right?
Blame Bush.
ReplyDeleteYour list needs to be re-ordered. Fundraising first, second and third. All the other items come after that.
ReplyDeleteTony, you can be my straight man any time... Where is Sly on crime? At a fundraiser f course :)
ReplyDeleteSly,hates dead people.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to tell Sly,that he should stop partying and get to work. A drunk ain't shit at City Hall, Cindy Circo,Melba Curls & Sly James all need AAA.
ReplyDeleteThe Sly James Bully Brigade said...
ReplyDelete"Now it's become apparent that you are in this forum for the sole purpose of defending your shitbag brother."
Sorry, I thought everyone could use a good laugh.:)
Why would Sly care? Not one of those lazy ass dead people donated at his last fundraiser.
ReplyDelete8:56 Why, do they need a tow?
ReplyDeleteSly don't care. Closet thing he came to the ghetto was out shaking hands on armour and troost and his chicken shit ass had more police around him then the prez.
ReplyDelete7/28/11 9:39 AM-I hope you and your mother burn in hell-true asshole.
ReplyDeleteKeeping quite is the easiest thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThe easy way out.
pour Sly another scotch and let him tell you why it's not important.
ReplyDelete1. Crime is KC's biggest problem. Does the subject ever come up at City Hall?
ReplyDelete2. I thought Byron was going away.
I never heard of Brandon Ellington. Is he Duke's grandson?
ReplyDeleteI think we all need AAA.
ReplyDeleteDon't y'all worry... Jermaine "Sweat Tea" Reed has been studying how to reduce crime since he was just a pre-teen punk.
ReplyDeleteHe learned it on the lap of the great Al "Jolson" Brooks.
I suspect that only about 350people will be murdered in his district by the end of his first term.

I feel like the police have givin up. My moms house was robbed a few years ago and a neighbor chased him. He abandoned his car and ran after a while, leaving his drivers licence in the car. The police never followed up. That was about as open and shut as you can get, they just didn't care.
ReplyDeletekcpd could care less.
ReplyDeleteHave any of the fools commneting mentioned one damn thing they are doing. City Hall is not the be all, end all answer. Maybe your ass needs to do something.
