NEWSFLASH!!! MIDDLE-CLASS NEWSIES DIDN'T SOLVE KANSAS CITY HOMICIDE PROBLEM WITH THOUGHTFUL JOURNALISM!!!
Middle-class and reasonably upwardly mobile NPR listeners have been patting themselves on the back for the past 24 hours because of a recent bit of homicide discussion. Sadly, as we approach another violent weekend . . . It's doubtful that this exercise in NPR mutual, rhetorical masterbation among the chattering classes will do anything other than sell a few more tote-bags. Take a look:
KCUR's In-Depth Look At Kansas City Homicides, And How A Few Dark Minutes Changed American Science
Violent crime rates in Kansas City are on the rise, yet again. Today, we hear the first installment of KCUR's " The Argument," a reporting series that looks beyond the worrying statistics, and into the arguments that escalate to homicide.
The problem is black people. It can be fixed by getting real judges with real prison sentences, more prisons and a replacement for Jean Petersucker Baker.
ReplyDeleteWhen you already know your conclusion before you begin an "investigation", it's just a matter of cherry-picking facts and evidence to get you there.
ReplyDeleteKCUR will never consider responsibility and behavior in its covering of issues like KCMO homicides, which are concentrated in one area of the city.
They will "discover" historical, cultural, social, and other "facts" that direct the blame of failed lives anywhere but toward the individuals who make a series of very bad choices and decisions and end up being a threat to themselves, their communities, and society at large.
Their reports are the sound of one hand clapping.
That's because the other hand is busy whacking off
DeleteThis is all obamas fault
ReplyDeleteIt was his way of paying reparations to his people!
ReplyDeleteSTEVE KRASKE is an idiot!
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump must honor his commitment to end the carnage in America's cities. He has been in office over six months and has done nothing to stop the violence.

ReplyDelete6:o4 has it, it's black people, not enough police officers, panty waist judges, and black privilege or in other words room to destroy.
Fuck Kansas Shitty. I just wish you people would contain your criminal boons to your city limits where you are breeding these thugs.
ReplyDeleteSorry to inconvenience you suburban sir. You keep cutting medical and education and pretend private enterprise will save them like the work camps in Poland in WWII
ReplyDeleteFuck you.
DeleteMothers take your son's guns and turn them in. If not, you most likely will be burying them.
ReplyDeleteViolence begets violence.
You reap what you sow.
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers know who owns a gun and for what purpose.
It's time the community steps up and talks about the real issues, instead of blaming others for their problems brought on by their own thoughts, words and deeds.
It's drugs and gangs. And all colors are involved There fighting over territory there are disputes. The drugs come across the border. I there is much money involved. The lure of easy money has a very strong appeal.
ReplyDeleteMuch niggers involved
