Check the roundup of the latest horrific instance of violence in Westport amid an exceptionally deadly Summer and the demise of the party district by way of developers and bullets.
Even better, because advertisers and politicos rule the local media . . . Our blog community asks because nobody else will:
HAS KANSAS CITY KILLED WESTPORT AFTER AN EXCEPTIONALLY VIOLENT 2017 & PLANS TO OVERBUILD?!??
Street privatization remains the last hope of desperate party people to try and control the increasingly rambunctious crowds. But the reality is that opponents of racial profiling and public access to taxpayer funded streets have already raised their concerns about this effort.
Meanwhile, given that everyone in KCMO is packing heat this Summer . . . Here's a the aftermath of a shouting match gone horribly wrong . . .

KCTV5: Man dead, woman injured in double shooting on patio of Westport restaurant
Fox4: Police said the incident began with two men fighting, and ended with a man and a woman shot. The male victim died at the scene.
KSHB: Police say about 200 people were in the area at the time. According to witnesses, the man was arguing with the suspect before shots were fired.

Great advertising for those condos. Nothing sells real estate like a double shooting!
ReplyDeleteHonest question here: Who is out partying and fighting on a Sunday night? Don't these folk shave jobs or families. Or is that why they're clubbing at the beginning of the week?
DeleteStreet privatization = Yes
DeleteShooting was at 8:30. Street privatization starts at 11:00
Delete^^^
ReplyDeleteWill not work.
There is no way that Westport can stand up to the kind of challenges that that P&L District faced when they tried to implement it. A losing cause and will just end up in a win for the lawyers.
Fucking ignore the ongoing violence in what used to be a relatively safe bar district not too long ago, but instead focus on your statues, fucking "progressives."
ReplyDeleteThe type of music you play at your establishment will determine how violent you're crowd will be. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN HIP HOP AND RAP WILL DRAW VIOLENT CROWDS. AND THEY ARE PACKING HEAT. ..
ReplyDelete^^^ good point. Californio's is desperate for business. They have been opening the place up to a bad element. They used to be a snobby wine bar but now they are letting anybody in there. Sorry westport. If you want to be safe, you're going to have to run a tight ship. Every bar owner in ALL of KC know that.
ReplyDeleteThis was #96.
ReplyDeleteTony can't count
DeleteSo much for the new police chief. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI was sitting a block away when this went down. It looked like a war zone, cops and people running. Its been years since I've been to Westport, it will be years before I return. Drunks and dumb as**s don't mix well.
ReplyDeleteA concerned citizen
Jolie Justus was for closing the streets in Westport and then she changed her mind. How many people have to die in the area before the city makes a decision? Alcohol and guns don't mix!!!! Here has been a huge resurgence in Westport but we need to feel safe. A shooting Saturday night and a double shooting on Monday. City council has to do its job and close the streets!!!! Until it happens I have spent my last dime there!!!! Calling for everyone to do the same.
ReplyDeleteJokie Justus (pun intended) chaired and fucked up the More-crime task force, maybe she can get this issue right. If not, she has no business even being in the mayoral discussion.
Jolie is only interested in stealing money from taxpayers and eating pussy. Not necessarily in that order.
DeleteDo we need to fire an accounting firm to get an accurate count on the number of murders? I was thinking it was 96. We need some clarification so we know exactly where we are.
ReplyDelete2:55 thanks for the information. I'm older now and don't frequent Westport but I was wondering what in the hell black people were doing at Californos (I'm assuming it was black people). I used to be in the bar business. Everyone knows catering to black people is the kiss of death. They get high before they get there, don't drink much, sure as hell don't tip, and are violent. I used to like Californos but if this is what they are doing fuck em, let them close. If you cater to black people you are part of the problem.
ReplyDeleteBlacks, the white guilt crowd and millennials are killing this great country.
ReplyDeleteWHO GIVES A SHIT NOW TEAR SOMTHING DOWN
ReplyDeleteFighting over some white Johnson county hoe I bet!!
ReplyDeleteAS WE GET CLOSER TO THE RECORD THE MEDIA CITY HALL WILL DOWNPLAY OR NOT COUNT CORRECTLY
ReplyDeleteWe only have about 200000 to go
ReplyDelete607 BLAMES IT ON ALCHOL AND GUNS!HOW BOUT BLAME IT ON THE DEM PARTY AND THE JIGGABOOS. IF ITS NOT GUNS ITS KNIFES OR CARS OR HAMMERS THEY JUST LIKE KILLING AND THATS IT. GO DOWN THERE 607 AND THEY LL KILL YOU!
ReplyDeleteThis was some kind of hip hop party event.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we have a really good chance to hit the 100 mark this month, whether this is 95 or 96.
ReplyDeleteWhether it's 95 or 96, it's not enough. Baltimore is well over 200. That's about where we really need to be.
DeleteSomeone, please confirm if this was a Hip-Hop party?
ReplyDeleteNot the Californos of yesteryear!
Lady said she was told at the door it was a hip hop conference one hour before when they went to eat there.
ReplyDeleteShooting at a hip hop event? No how could that be? It's such a peace loving culture!
ReplyDelete96 --

Please hurry and remove the Daughters of the Confederacy monument so the killing will stop.
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteLee's Summit Police Officer Thomas Orr
Jade A Orr identified her brother Thomas Orr as the murder victim.
ReplyDeleteRIP Officer Orr.
ReplyDeleteTo the Hood Niggas of KC: your day of recokning is coming. And I'm not talking about the blacks, I'm talking about the scum of the earth that plagues Westport and committs senseless violence. May KCPD put you six feet under you pieces of shiteeee
So 200 blacks and 2 shot...15,000 whites at sprint and 0 shot...what's the real problem??
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Donald Trump we blame all of em, the whites and Jews that own the bars and sell their souls for money and the blacks that go down there and patronize these drunk slut factories. Both are responsible for this mans death if the crackers weren't so motivated by money the niggers wouldn't have a place to go
ReplyDeleteLOL this is great.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU LIVE BY ALL THE WELLFARE RATS IT ISNT GREAT
ReplyDeletePlease rename the fountain to Cleaver Fountain that will fix all these problems.
ReplyDeleteThis incident was obviously due to poverty and de facto segregation, both being the lingering after effects of slavery.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHA. OK, I can't say that without laughing.
I watched a video yesterday afternoon on FB live that some guy was doing from that back patio and it was full of blacks. I almost commented " what time does the shootings start" and I'll be damned if that wasn't the place. Westport is a no fly zone nowadays. How fuckin sad.
ReplyDeletePost the link from Facebook
DeleteCalifornos has been in Westport a long time. They've seen whats happened at (and to) establishments that featured hip hop. All it takes is one night.
ReplyDeleteIncredible they took the chance.
...and the neo-hippys side with blacks politically, weird.
ReplyDeleteRoxy and rap, murder, Californos, hip hop and murder.
