TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! TWO COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA BUSINESSES ALREADY PREPARING TO CANCEL LEASES!!! SMART MONEY SAYS KANSAS CITY CAN'T CONTROL VIOLENT FLASH MOBS!!!
Right now in Kansas City Proper, on the the Country Club Plaza, the race to the door has already begun for frightened business people.
Sorry newsies, once again you'll have to wait to see that I'm right about this one because I'm not gonna get anybody fired. Better to try to get Highwoods to contradict me so that they'll look even more foolish in retrospect.
To wit . . .
ONCE AGAIN UPPER ESCHELON TKC TIPSTERS HAVE TOLD US THAT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESSES ARE PREPARING TO CANCEL THEIR LEASES ON THE COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA BECAUSE OF VIOLENT FLASH MOB FEAR!!!
It might take a while for the details to go public . . . But already more than a few Plaza businesses simply don't have faith that the Mayor and City Council or even a heavy police presence will solve their problems.
Once again we see that PERCEPTION IS REALITY . . .
DO YOU REALLY THINK LAW ENFORCEMENT CRACKDOWNS AND ANGRY WHITE AND BLACK PEOPLE ARE GOOD FOR BUSINESS ON THE PLAZA?!?!?
For all of human history most decisions that we make are powered by either fear or greed and right now fear rules the Country Club Plaza . . . Fear that might not be quelled by "economic border war" tax breaks.
Who wants a heavy police presence to defend a causal night out on the town?
Is the racial strife and class warfare that has now embroiled The Plaza really the ideal setting for dinner and a movie?
Also . . . We all know that any crackdown will inevitably result in political pushback and some form of legal challenge to police.
Still . . .
Beyond fear and greed . . . For Business people and everyone else: All of the decisions you think you ever made from your wife to your job are about one thing above all else: Expediency.
Accordingly . . .
FOR SO MANY PLAZA BUSINESSES THERE'S A FOUR LETTER WORD THAT'S MUCH SIMPLER THAN GETTING INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY BASED AND COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS WITH POLITICOS, ACTIVISTS, BLATHERING RADIO TALKERS OR UNRULY TEENS . . . THAT WORD IS: MOVE!!!
And just as the population of Kansas City has declined over the years . . . Expecting Plaza businesses to take the moral high ground and act out of anything more than their self-interest is foolhardy.
The rats are already abandoning ship and the fact that most of these Plaza places are chain stores makes them even less likely to have any loyalty to Kansas City, Missouri.
Also . . .
WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICAL SOLUTIONS, IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT THERE'S SIMPLY NO PUTTING THE VIOLENT FLASH MOB GENIE BACK IN THE BOTTLE!!!
Debating responsibility or root causes of this Plaza Flash Mob Hot Mess is futile and only the pastime of idiots and shut-ins. What's more important is taking an objective look at reality while realizing that the meager tools at our disposal to reverse the trend HAVE YET TO BE PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN A SINGLE CIRCUMSTANCE when it comes to thwarting violence and challenging negative public perception of embattled areas in KC Proper. Don't you think they tried to save The Landing, Swope Park, The KCMO School District, Bannister Mall, etc. et. al.? Proving me wrong on this information and my basic argument that things are only gonna get worse on the Plaza relies on confidence in our political leadership to solve a problem that has been building to a climax for more than a year and has finally come to the tipping point with the Mayor dodging bullets.
Examine the track record:
Kansas City politicos attempted to bring about a "Downtown Renaissance" and they have failed after spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
The exceptionally high murder rate has remained constant and trending upward for more than three years now despite so many valiant efforts.
Over the course of a generation Kansas City has seen a mass exodus away from the urban core and our inept political leadership.
So does anyone argue that this same FAILED system will save another beleaguered shopping district when the only discernible skill demonstrated by Kansas City politicos seems to be handing out pay increases to union workers and providing tax breaks to developers amid macroeconomic turmoil?
Does anyone think the best plan is to trust politicos with this town's business?
Like it or not, people have given up on ballots and they simply vote with their feet. History backs up this EXCLUSIVE and AWESOME DATA as Kansas City's inability to realistically address violence overall continues to chase people way.
DEVELOPING . . .
the plaza is one of the last remaining jewels in KCMO. IT WILL be protected at any cost. just my prediction.
ReplyDeleteNiggers ruin everything and just keep on doing so. The death of the Plaza will be just another, in a long list of failures. Thanks to all of you fine, upstanding, hard working, honest, trustworthy, educated and truly exceptional human beings....Niggers. Yeah, right...
ReplyDeleteBlack business
ReplyDeleteGovernment intelligence
Blogger integrity
What do these three things have in common?
If I were them I would leave too. This has been going on for years. The problem has not and will not be dealt with. I left the Plaza 2 years ago and reopened my business in Texas and I'm glad I did. The Plaza is expensive with short margins, You get promised a lot but it's never delivered.
ReplyDelete16 to 23 year old white high school dropouts with no education, no job, no dad and lotsa time ridin' around on BMX bikes at three o'clock in the morning with hollowed-out, cranked-up, "thousand yard" blank stare Skeletor faces in hoodies cruisin' the hood for open car doors, weakness and copper wire is scary.. . .
ReplyDeleteASK THE YOUNG AA'S WHAT THEY WANT TO DO OTHER THAN BE AT THE PLAZA. THEY WON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.
ReplyDeleteIt's classic mob mentality. Most are there just TO SEE the train wreck but there are more than plenty of the hoods there to create it.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT MANY YOUNG BLACKS LOVE TO INTIMIDATE WHITE - MAINSTREAM - LAW ABIDING FOLKS AND ALMOST ALL LOVE WATCHING IT TO THE POINT THEY'LL TAKE A RANDOM BULLET.
THIS EXPLAINS P&L'S CONTROLLED ENTRY POLICY.
PREDICTION: KCMO OVERTIME WILL DEED OVER MUCH OF THE PLAZA STREETS (TO HIGHWOODS MAKING THEM PRIVATE) SO THEY CAN INSTITUTE CONTROLLED ENTRY.
Once again liberals are confusing two separate issues (reminds me of the global warming debate). Reducing crime in the City and eliminating african american mobs in the plaza are not the same thing. Curfews may not reduce overall crime rates but they will get it out of the Plaza. Curfews and admittance policies have kept descructive youths out of the Legends in KCK and it keeps them out of the P & L. It has to be so frustrating for the so-called african american leaders...everytime that community is given a chance they live up to stereotypes.
ReplyDeleteThe death of Bannister Mall started when metro bus service hauled all the thugs out south. And for the past couple of years they are leaving their destructive marks on Independence Center. Just makes me sick !!
ReplyDeleteWise up before it's too late for the Plaza.
My Family and I have decided to no longer shop at the Plaza If you get injured who's going to pay the medical bills? You will. It's not worth it. And God forbid if your seriously injured.
ReplyDeleteThere are too may other places you can shop and Buy the Same thing! The Plaza is nothing but just bunch of Franchise Chain Stores anyway, where the Markup is higher.
You can get the same thing on another side of town without all the traffic hassles of the "Plaza".
Why wouldnt businesses leave? They are in BUSINESS. That means turning a profit. They are not there to engage unruly kids and adults. 10 years from now the Plaza will be a wasteland. Cellphone stores, gold chain kiosks, and maybe a penners. Of course it will be whiteys fault.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like City Hall is now exerting it's influence on our local media. They've had a few days to spin the facts for public conumption.
ReplyDeleteRather then getting tough which is exactly what is needed now to stop this bullshit you can wtiness everything going the Politically Correct route.
Nutter Tried That in Philly.
It Didn't Work
How many more times will James have to be shoved into the bushes before he shows some balls. Thats the real question.
Pack niglets are the reason the 'popoualtion of KC is declining', dumbass. We don't have much trouble with this in the sticks because we have learned how to handle packs of anything. When they become a problem, we shoot them to ribbons. KCPD could take a lesson from this.
ReplyDeleteWho wants a heavy police presence to defend a causal night out on the town?
ReplyDeleteLots of people. Myself included at this point. Sometimes I think you secretly want the criminals and thugs to win Tony.
You do have your devious side and it shows up more as the days go by.
Rumor has it Mayor James has recurring 'Bull Conner' nightmares...
ReplyDeleteAs long as city hall insists on listening to and involving the same old duds like the revs and Al Brooks, who the mayor invited to join him Saturday night, nothing's going to change in the black community. These are the old victimization/entitlement crowd who have made very good livings from threats, extortion, and claims of racism at the drop of a hat, even as the east side has hollowed out to the point that it looks like Dresden after WWII.
ReplyDeleteWhy are the mayor, the council, and th eKCPD so afraid of these people? They're a bunch of empty suits that, as was reported in the "Star", the young people involved in the Plaza have never even heard of.
Suck it up, mayor, and find some serious spokesmen for the black community who are talking about empowerment and responsibility. They're out there trying to get your attention, but you just can't say no to the old grifters.
8/16/11 9:32 AM
ReplyDeleteI agree. "Who wants a heavy police presence to defend a causal night out on the town? "
It just takes away any atmosphere the Plaza has. A moonlight romantic dinner for two with a cop on a horse watching you. Just doesn't cut it.
Not to mention always looking over your shoulder just in case something happens.
I remember Bannister Mall in it's good days. Thriving, popular. Then came the crime commited by a small segment of the population, yes black and the perception became greater than the reality. Shoppers stayed away, businesses went under a tax base was lost, all destroyed because of a small percentage of the population. Ditto with Indian Springs Mall. At some point we can't let these urban terrorists rule the streets. Crack down, enforce every small infraction to the uptmost extent. Bring the heat and the spotlight, rule nothing out. Loss of welfare and other entitlements unless the parents can control them. If they are recieving benefits from the state for raising that child and are doing a piss poor job, yank the benefits.
ReplyDeleteEast KC - Clean up your act - stop with the whining that nobody cares when you yourselves do not care what is happening on your own street. Shooters at a block party of dozens of people and nobody saw anything - Bullshit; you do not care so why should we. Kill each other every day and nobody knows anything. Fine. Have it your way. You want to kill each other - have at it, but when your stupidity flows over into my neighborhood, I will see what happens, I will go to the police, I will stand up and point you out.
So Tony being your economic genius and all. You seem to be upset that Downtown hasn't recouped it's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars "instantaneously" and is now rolling in the dough with money flying all over the city spreading it's benefits.
ReplyDeleteWhere did learn this is the way it works?
9:44 AM The police can wear casual clothes like any other civilians.
ReplyDeleteThey don't have to wear jackboots and face shields to do the job.
The Mayor better get his shit together. If he makes decisions knowing that it's likely the situation will probably worsen then get better his ass can get kicked out of office quick.
ReplyDeleteSlys been to busy brokering a new deal for Polsinelli Shughart next to Valencia Place, the headquarters of Lockton Cos. to notice anything unusual is happening on the Plaza.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry the problem will go away by itself.

Plaza incident
As you’ve probably heard, large crowds of juveniles converged on the Country Club Plaza on Saturday night and wreaked havoc throughout. They intimidated shoppers and diners, destroyed property, committed a strong-arm robbery, and a juvenile suffered severe head injuries in an aggravated assault. Police took control of the crowds using traffic crews to close streets, pepper spray to disperse the crowds and a helicopter overhead to help officers on the ground find the most troublesome areas.
Chief Corwin
Lets just hope the mental midgets downtown are able to make a strong and firm decision by this weekend.
ReplyDelete9:46
ReplyDeleteWho said anything about jackboots and face shields? If that is what you think is needed that is your own misconception. Enforce current laws, bring new ones that force responsibility upon the irresponsible. Enforcement of laws to bring out of control unruly mobs of teenagers is not an impediment to your personal freedoms, stop acting like restoring order in a chaotic situation is some sort of affront to liberty. Liberty has responsibilities. You want to advocate anarchy go for it.
Way to go black teens!
ReplyDeleteI doubt the busiest shopping district in the midwest is going to have stores cancel because of this,,,the crowds are still there, It was packed on Sunday. Negative Tony needs to really consider a move to somewhere where he can be happy. This blog is more negative than the Pitch. Congrats, Tony, you are now chairman of the inferiority complex bandwagon.
ReplyDelete10:16 AM Your not making any sense. Plus how in the hell am I advocating anarchy by suggesting police wear street clothes which lessons the intimidation factor.

Plaza incident
lol you guys are funny. Go west,go west.
ReplyDeleteMark Funkhouser knew that you do not escalate problems like this by parading through the streets as mayor.
ReplyDelete10:29 AM
ReplyDeleteThat should be all the proof one needs to understand it's not going to just go away on it's own.
Alonzo is going Bi-Polar again today.
ReplyDelete"If Mayor Sly James would have stayed away from the Plaza the Flash Mob shooting would not have taken place."
ROFLMAO it's no wonder this city is a mess with activists like this.
This is the heart of America do not destroy our image across the nation. Come on leadership of Kansas City stand up and do what is right. We are proud of Kansas City don't allow these thugs to tear us down.
ReplyDelete10:36 AM Maybe Alonzo know's the shooter and that plans were made to start shooting if Sly showed up.
ReplyDeleteI guess they email Alonzo and say look were planning to be on the Plaza and if the Mayor shows up were going to Pop Pop Pop.
10:06 - I'm with you. With all the publicity this is getting more thugs will flock to the Plaza just to see whats up. Whats happening. Word will fly this is the place to be on the Plaza. Hopefully something will be in place to stop this crap!!
ReplyDelete10:23 Your suggestion does not make sense, you want police to be dressed in street clothes so when they approach an unruly mob the people in that mob have no idea if they are police or not? So I am trying to figure out if you think that these kids will have the leap of logic that every person on the plaza that is not in their own age group may be police that they will behave? Please enlighten me. If they show no respect for anything, how will street clothed polie help?
ReplyDeleteWatch I predict the Cops won't do anything new, it will be just like last year. People, wake up your on your own in Kansas City. Don't expect much from the public service people, except wanting more money.
ReplyDelete10:52 AM They can have KCPD over the pocket of a Polo.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you suggest? I'm just saying that the kids who are causing all this trouble first of all have zero respect for the Police. Or any authority for that matter.
How do you solve that when you have hundreds of kids on the Plaza out to hassle people and play cat and mouse games with the Police?
Classic Sign for Thug Trouble - If shorts or pants are hanging to their knees then police should know trouble is brewing.
ReplyDeleteWell, we all know what is causing the problem - Niggers, no not the N-word but rather, niggers. Heaven forbid anyone should utter the word 'cause a "hate-crime" might be committed and then IP addresses might be sought by the thought police. If this is the case, fuck you and yours. Niggers not only fuck up areas like the Plaza, Bannister Mall, The Landing, Metcalf, etc., they are now impacting the very language of what used to be America. If I want to say NIGGER all day and half the night, I will. If some blank skulled negro doesn't like it, too fucking bad. Good to Hell, niggers, coons, jungle bunnies OR WHATEVER you call em.
ReplyDelete11:13
ReplyDeleteNever occured to you you might be part of the problem also I suppose.
10:58
ReplyDeleteWhat do I suggest? I could not have been more clear. Enforce the laws. Detain and process. Enforce loittering laws, enforce laws of impeding traffic on a public street. Enforce MIP laws and curfew laws. You seriously think a polo with a logo will make things better? Enforce, detain, process. Make momma think twice about dropping off her 13 year old so she can go party if she thinks she may have to pick up her kid at a police station and be scrutinized for her own sobriety.
A friend of mine owns a store on the Plaza he called me about all the concern the merchants had.
ReplyDeleteHe told me things were very tough on retailers right now. He told me was going to try to move his business, before the economy get worse. He said business was down and now with all the social unrest has pretty much helped him make up his mind to relocate his store.
"Part of the problem" is great! It suggests that maybe, just maybe, there could be a tiny portion of fault here on the part of NEGROES. No, that can't be...they are all noble, down trodden, proud savages and must not be considered, except to provide handouts and be feared. Screw em!!
ReplyDelete11:22 AM
ReplyDeleteThats not suprising. The only problem with that is the people who cause the trouble win when business people throw in the towel.
Whats astonishing is how adults running this city appeat to be intimidated by a bunch of teenagers.
Well Tony's sleeping again during the busiest news hours obviously.
ReplyDeleteGuess he'll be getting up at 5:00 PM when nothing is happening.
Hey Sly, take a lesson from Rudy Giuliani and get tough. He cleaned up NYC. You can clean up KC but it's going to take brass balls, standing up to the ACLU and all the politically correct bs that will be thrown around. No, it's not ok to put a curfew on the whole city. The problem is on the Plaza and with the kids and parents of the kids who let them roam wild with guns. Get it done or there won't be any more people shopping or eating at the Plaza and that will be YOUR fault.
ReplyDeleteI know quite a few people who in the past few years have left Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteThere's been quite a drop in KCMO population.
Welcome to Detroit, I mean Kansas City... If things don't get under control soon we're going to be the new Detroit.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of seeing these hood thugs run all over everyone. I'm sick of working my ass to off to support ignorant ghetto scum who have nicer things than I do because they don't pay for any of their own things. They steal and scam the government for aid. I'm sick of them treating their children like garbage and neglecting and abusing them. I'm sick of ghetto mothers thinking its ok to let their boyfriends diddle their little girls because he gives her crack. I'm sick of ghetto sperm donors walking out on their children.
I can't be the only one feeling this way. What the hell are we going to do about it people?
What Sly needs to do is listen to Nutters's sermon he gave to his church's congregation. Fine the kids $300 and the parents $500 for acting like idiots.
ReplyDeleteI don't think flash mob means what you think it means.
ReplyDeleteHey sick to death.. you're a fucking retarded racist piece of shit. Go fuck yourself.
ReplyDelete12:20 He never mentioned race.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone think the best plan is to trust politicos with this town's business?
ReplyDeleteI dunno. Maybe Benson can team up with Wonder Woman and solve everything?
12:36--Truuue! Ha ha 12:20 who's the racist now??
ReplyDeleteLike has been said on this blog over and over, "brought up with a sense of victimization and entitlement".
Way to give credibility to that argument, 12:20!!
Never Fear
ReplyDeleteProblem Solved
We Need Real Leadership
ReplyDeleteRocky
With regard to the flash mobs in Chicago, Wisconsin, Iowa, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Maryland, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Minnesota...
ReplyDeleteWho else here recognizes the single common factor that EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS have in common??
Just sayin...
12:58 PM Well at least she can run up the steps apparently the current crew can't even lift a pen long enough to sign a curfew bill.
ReplyDeleteMore police, fri and sat nights. pass the curfew, taken violators downtown and wait til their pts come pick them up. raise the curfew volation file up to 50 dollars, always cheap enoug so that kids can afford to pay it, or pay their moms back for it.
ReplyDeletea dollar is an insult.
12:20
ReplyDeleteBeen dealing with this situation for years in Westport. Last October 16 I received a concussion, black eye,and a large cut over my other eye. Kicked and beaten by atleast 8 "urban youths" I was told. Why? I pointed out that they were blocking traffic and should move. I was fine with the first three that attacked me( I am unafraid and can handle myself), it was the additional "youths" that turned the tide against me. Sick to death and tired of it. Bring it on baby it stops now. Choose a side. I will never be a victim of this behavior again and might just get proactive all by myself!
My wife and I are preparing to move out of the area in the next couple of years despite the added cost of coming back to town to visit family.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot stand the steady decline of culture here and the completely gutless corrupt nature of the local government.
I can't wait to leave.
Another good reason to leave KC.
ReplyDeleteKC Scout equipment vandalized.
Vandals and would-be copper thieves have inflicted significant damage on the Kansas City Scout traffic management system, officials said today, and it will cost $150,000 to get the system operational.
This is why I don't go to the PLAZA. Why subject yourself to this situation.
ReplyDeleteKC STAR STORY:
/ Sgt. Joey Roberts, who supervises the mounted patrol, said his officers were just around the block and heard the gunfire.
“We took off headlong into it,” he said.
Roberts quickly encountered a couple pushing a baby stroller away from the area.
“You could see the sheer horror on her face,” Roberts said of the baby’s mother. “We asked her if she was OK and she couldn’t even talk. That’s a visual I’m not going to forget for a while.”
Detectives were still trying to identify the shooter. /
Obviously the malaise has settled in at City Hall again.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess the plan will be "I Dunno, we'll think of something".
Tony forget to set his alarm clock? It's past 2:00 PM.
ReplyDeleteOthers do all the work while Tony sleeps. Not a bad system if think about it.
ReplyDeleteStating the obvious is "obviously" right on the money.....Guess what it is..
ReplyDeleteCareful now, must whisper it's name quietly or else the thought police might get ya. Yes, that's right it's
NIGGERS!
Anytime Mr. Mayor!
ReplyDeleteFolks should get used to increased police presence - it's the future. As population growth continues unchecked by church, state or common sense.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind The Plaza being properly secure, and it should start immediately.
It's not all lost, but like many have said it is going to require leadership with stones.
ReplyDeletePeople not afraid to make a decision.
People not afraid to piss off the establishment.
People ready to win.
Any there any of those people at 12th and Oak? On the East Side?
For that matter, anywhere in Kansas City?
Truth is offensive.
Tony is right. This whole thing is going to scare away customers.
ReplyDeleteSOS (9:36)is right on. The mayor and the council need to get the new generation of blacks involved in the process. Alvin Brooks and the old guard have had their day. Let people who actually know what's going on and have some new ideas become part of the process.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, a few years ago (probably about 7 years ago) I went to a lunchtime talk by some black leaders about where do we go now in race relations. Alvin Brooks was one of the speakers, and all he wanted to do was relive the past. To hear him talk there'd been no progress in the past 50 years. Blacks were concentrated in the ghetto because of racism. My take on where we go now after hearing him? I went home and decided never to go hear him talk again.
Just 24 hours after Kansas City Mayor Sly James writes city leaders about “a distinct possibility” of a 9pm city-wide curfew for people 17 and under, the plan may be on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteCity Council Members John Sharp says he and Councilman Ed Ford ar working on an alternative.
3:28 PM
ReplyDeleteYip may as well get your concealed carry permit so when you take your family to The Plaza you can take care of business if need be at this point.
These clowns in City Hall are clueless.
I'm sorry, I hate to say it but the dipshit blogger has a point. I don't want to be anywhere near your gunfight with black teens just for a somewhat nice dinner on the plaza that I can get at a lot of other places.
ReplyDeleteI knew this shit was going to happen. Failure to deliver is the crowning achievement of City Hall.
ReplyDeleteIs it even possible City Hall can become even more dysfunctional then it already is?
ReplyDeleteI posted yesterday that decsions were being made to leave the Plaza, and this is just the beginning.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY thing these unredeemable, unrepentent thugs understand is force.
Quit fuckin around, and USE IT!!
At the Mayor's interview on Sunday, the money quote, had to do with the 13 year old girl getting shot, and a comment to the effect, that parents should be able to think thier 13 year olds are safe on the Plaza.
ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME!!!
Hey Mr. Mayor, Lemme ask ya something, what the fuckin hell is a 13 year old, unsupervised, dissadvantaged youth, doing at 11PM on the Plaza without her fuckin parents, running with a bunch of fuckin thugs????
Thats hwo fucked up things are.
The Mayor, immediately 2n parties teh blame, by way of missdirection and red herrings, so we will all empathize with the poor dissaddvantaged youth.
FUCK that shit!
Ya got one choice, and one choice ONY you dumb fucks!!!
Lock the little cretins up, fine their parents and come down fuckin hard, or just give up and wait for the thugs to take over.
ITS SIMPLE STUPID!!!
USE FORCE!!!!
LOCK THE SCUM UP BEHIND FUCKIN BARS!!
Or, move to JoCo.
Thats it.
No conversation, meetings, wringing your fuckin hands, night hoops, money, conversation, marches, new taxes, no fuckin NOTHING!!!
2 choices, thas it.
This ain't fuckin Rocket science.
Moving to JoCo is actually beginning to look like the only alternative at this point for most.
ReplyDelete9 P.M. Citywide Curfew Plan May Be Shelved
ReplyDeleteUMKC law professor Alan Rostron said narrow curfews like the entertainment zone idea stand better chances of holding up in court than city-wide ones.
I see citizen safety comes last before protecting James and Company from lawusits.
It is interesting to me that some people want to point the finger at KCPD for this problem (i.e. 10:57). After all, it isn't as if they are dropping kids off on the plaza and leaving them unattended and unsupervised until 11:45 PM. Besides, they are trying to deal with the homicides on the east side of the city, Westport, Power & Light District, Club Xpressions, Chiefs games, Royals Games, and events at the Sprint Center. I'd say they are spread a little thin in this city. If the City Council and Mayor want to deal with all these problems, perhaps they should do what a lot of the other larger cities do, and hire more cops!!!!
ReplyDeleteAim carefully and don't miss if teen thugs try to gain-force entry to your business or home. Have video running so they can't cry Racism and all the other bullshit excuses they come up with when the cops arrive.
ReplyDeleteI guess thats the only solution at this point. Obviously City Hall doesn't care about anything but themselves.
Hey everybody. I got news for you.
ReplyDeleteFlash mobs almost never form when it is freezing outside.
So just hope for a swift Fall and a quick entry into a harsh winter.
And, if the Federally subsidized Unemployment benefits are allowed expire in December, you will not see a flash mob. No. You will however start to see the beginnings of KC's own "Hooverville" - which will likely turn into a food riot.
But then again, the kids these days are also out of control. And well armed, it seems. So much to think about - everything apparently failing.
"hope for a swift Fall and a quick entry into a harsh winter."
ReplyDeleteYeah what it the opposite occurs? Like a late fall and mild winter.
Watch out for Cooper Thieves also.
ReplyDeleteRIP Plaza, RIP Westport, RIP Bannister mall, next up- RIP KCP&L, hello legends, hello Johnson county, as dumb as Kansrockas was it was still a safe event because the thugs cant afford to roll out there in mass groups. KCMO has the dumbest government ever in a city this size. (hows that etax working out for ya)
ReplyDeleteKansas City Missouri is the armpit of America, and will stay that way till the voters and citizens get off their ass and hold city government accountable. Its your city its your choice
4:01: Thugs have (or can steal) cars, and JOCO has crime, too.
ReplyDeletestop thinking the mayor or PD will be able to do anything on the plaza, employ the IAFF local 42's who runs this city and KCFD, after all we now know they have crazy gun wielding employees on staff, hell put a pumper on every corner, the FF's will love it because they can scan for pussy even more so while on duty...lol
ReplyDelete"KCMO has the dumbest government ever in a city this size."
ReplyDeleteActually I think you may be being to complimentary.
1:17 get with the KCFD they can guide you on how to be proactive by yourself, and also how to escape charges when you wave a gun around...hey just trying to help.
ReplyDelete4:37 PM - A bit crass but I basically agree with you.
ReplyDeleteOkay were going to take bets on all hell breaking loose on The Plaza this weekend.
ReplyDeletePlace your bets.
There will be no "safe" place. When they are done ruining the Plaza they will look around and find out where whitey went - then they will go there. Yes, political correctness will always set us up for the same problem somewhere else. They are like rats that you can't get rid of. Blacks must be so proud of their race!
ReplyDelete5:06 it really your arkansas mentality that make this even worse!
ReplyDelete4:43 no one is going to gamble on a outcome they already know the results of...oh wait the council might gamble on it because they are so stupid and living in a fantasy world, but remember they have no money so be careful who you bet with!
ReplyDelete4:08 I guess this city needs more cops!! We should lay off fire fighters and make that happen. We can and we should! after all fires are far and few in between with current building codes in place.
ReplyDeleteThe fire department backed by the current city council (IAFF local 42) took over the ambulance in this town to justify a ridiculous budget and not to make a public safety difference in KC.
Its Thugsville home to crime.
ReplyDeleteSo what was Tony's solution after this rant?
ReplyDeleteI've yet to see Tony offer any solid and real solutions to this stuff.
Tony,
ReplyDeleteRats act like rats. They come out in the summer, tear everything up,steal, destroy, and run home.When the head rat runs the City, then the rats will dominate...
@ 4:08 - I couldn't agree more! Hire more cops!!!
ReplyDelete@ 5:26 - Getting rid of a few worthless firemen would be a good start! KCFD has been an overstaffed waste of money for too long!!!
Great points, both of you.
Why not just give Fireman deputy powers as required when needed.
ReplyDeleteFire hoses are pretty powerful.
