The Kansas City Slutwalk ruckus seems to be getting settled behind the scenes . . . The "Official" group has control of the Twitter and e-mail accounts and they're putting on a rather organized event that has been delayed from the original date . . . Forgive me for not titling this post "Fighting Kansas City Sluts" but the info they report seems to be worth a bit of attention given all the press this upstart group has garnered and because it's a bit of an international meme.
Check it:
Official SlutWalk
This is the official SlutWalk KC e-mail. The faction that is having their walk on the 30th doesn't have a permit or insurance for their event. The one on the 17th of September will have the necessary legal safeguards to create a safe space of dissent. We've really enjoyed you giving us press, but please understand that the one that is being promoted on the 30th doesn't have the legal ramifications to have an event.
There has been no "hijacking"--we had to remove two organizers from the event, it was a three to two decision, because of some statements that were being made that did not align with the ethics and morals of SlutWalk. Furthermore, they excised the three other members from the group and claimed they had everything done and wouldn't let us participate. So, we decided to do some fact-checking and, indeed, Susan Borge from city hall confirmed that we did not have a permit set up for 1500 people to walk. It would be pretty horrible to have over 1000 people show up and possibly get arrested. Additionally, without insurance, we would be legally held accountable for any injuries in the event and seeing as all of us fall between the ages of 19 to 23, we do not have the money to be held accountable. The event on the 17th of September will have speakers, a permit so we can have a legal & safe march, and insurance to prevent any problems.
Thanks,
SWKC

It's a slutfight.
ReplyDeleteSo the world is passin me by so fast, I had to look this shit up.
ReplyDeleteEverything seems weird to me today.
Girls dress up like sluts, then wear signs tellin men that they don't wanna be raped, just because they dress provocatively.
I get that, and I think we should hang teh Waldo Rapist some time during the "slutwalk", but still...
This seems pretty fuckin weird too.
Doe Clay Chastain have ANYTHING to do with "Slutwalk"?
It just seems weird, ya know???
Weird.
Chuck you crack me up. Agree with you 100%
ReplyDeleteSluts fighting. Makes sense.
ReplyDeleteMake sure KCPD mounted patrol shows up so they can make 2 more arrests before winter.
ReplyDeleteWhen did slut become a noble or respectable word?
ReplyDeleteChuck is funny.
ReplyDeleteSafe space of dissent?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to diss that.
My two cents.
Permit?? Hmmm... so much for freedom of assembly in Kansas City, eh? I wouldn't give the city a dime to walk the streets, so why are these people deciding to roll over and let the city try to dictate that they need a damn permit?? Just call the cops and give them a heads up that you're doing what you're doing. It's just walking down a street, use the sidewalks.
ReplyDeleteActually I think there is a place for this kind fo activity. Otherwise known as hell. Oh wait maybe this it it. Who'd a thunk it!
ReplyDeleteIts a gay pride parade undercover.

ReplyDeleteWhen I told my sister that our father had raped my fiancee, my sister said that it wasn't rape because she was just a slut! Chuck talks about the percentage of crime by black men. What about all men, compared to women. It amazes me that men think they are better. Without us, the women would live in peace on earth.
ReplyDeleteByron might be right.
ReplyDeleteOne final generation, a gargantuan cumm one, cumm all female sex in the city extravaganza, sans Mr. Big, or Mr. anybody, then, out, out brief candle.
Can't stay away, huh, Byron?
ReplyDeleteTKC is addictive, like crack.
Byron, did you ever see two women cat fighting? Peace on earth, indeed.
