TKC TUESDAY QUESTION!!! AFTER TRAGIC MIDTOWN KILLING: IS IT SUICIDE FOR WHITE DUDES TO WALK HOME AFTER DARK IN KANSAS CITY MAIN STREET CORRIDOR?!?!
The Midtown Kansas City murder of Zachary Pearce proves to be a tragic holiday season homicide but it's just one of many acts of violence in this embattled section of Kansas City.
More than a couple of TKC readers have been robbed and assaulted in this part of town and the pattern is the same: White dudes who think they'll be okay walking through this neighborhood at night. Don't get TKC motives twisted, this post is penned as both a question and a word of warning for some of our friends whom we would like to keep safe.
Over the past few years, crime along this swath of land has spiked as violent teen flash mobs are all grown up, have been pushed away from The Plaza and desperate hobos stalk this stretch of land.
Real talk . . . When the sun goes down, other than a few bars and The Starbucks . . . Night life along the Kansas City Main Street corridor is a sketchy proposition.
Still and in fairness, the rents in surrounding neighborhoods are cheap and this neighborhood has proven to be a vibrant place for young people attending the Kansas City Art Institute & UMKC - As long as they aren't unfortunate in stumbling upon some of the more dangerous denizens of this part of town.
TKC reality check: Amid hype surrounding the rise of the Kansas City creative-class and so many development schemes there's a dangerous dismissal of deadly crime newbie targeting denizens of urban core neighborhoods. This latest local murder speaks to a deadly culture clash in the midst of rampant gentrification and real estate gamesmanship.
TKC REAL TALK: DESPITE THE SCHEMES OF DEVELOPERS: IS IT SUICIDE FOR WHITE GUYS TO WALK AROUND AT NIGHT IN THE MAIN STREET CORRIDOR???
Brief aside, women usually know better than to take this kind of risk and, per ushe, the news doesn't really care when minorities kill one another . . .
Still, as we noted, young dudes have been misled about the dangers of this part of town because real concern about crime in Kansas City is contrary to so much development speculation that powers the local discourse.

You decide . . .
Better title: Development agitprop kills white guy.
ReplyDeleteYou hint at it here but just don't come out and say it. It's dangerous for EVERYONE in this part of KC but you wouldn't know it because the newspaper is more concerned about selling lofts and condos for the Mayor's friends.
DeleteWith 135 murders, don't blame KC media. They're starting to gloss over all of the murders, they just can't keep up. This story will be gone from the headlines soon. Another KC cold case.
DeleteFurther down main it's no picnic either. Remember near Brookside and on Main street that lawyer was gunned down. Not much real news on that case either.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is how Kansas City became Detroit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning TKC but 25 million tourists every year prove you WRONG!
ReplyDeleteLOL-- but, nervously as Killa City's crony capitalists and their Chamber of Comics "wizzard" are fast FUBARing this "Paris of the Plains" -- er, soon "Cowpie on the Prairie"!!!
DeleteWe think it is dangerous for ANY white person to be within close proximity to blacks who have been taught for decades to hate whites.
ReplyDeleteWe blame the lies and the Progressive Narrative fostered and created by the 4th Estate, by Hollywood, by Academia, by the Deep State and local politicians who make bank on the backs of the dead, like us. They are who killed us and kill and kill and kill again and again in the name of the "Narrative".
Hi chuck, oh sorry, I mean, 8:29
DeleteHe left his safe space.
ReplyDeleteRepeated verification = justifiable belief.
ReplyDeleteStereotypes are true.

Lady Justus is fixing everything!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing she does is eat pussy
DeleteThe 25 million tourists who visit the KC Midtown Killing fields and spend billions on beer and sub par food have an advantage in that they have no intention of staying.
ReplyDeleteDevelopers are building expensive rentals on Troost for the Millennials. That should be interesting when they try and take a walk at night.
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprised that evidently no one got a good look at the suspects.....because there's no suspect description in any of the news reports.
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no mention of the race of the perps? If it was a hate crime by AAs where is the FBI? 5 White men killed on 103st trail is not a hate crime? Fucking identity politics !
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing those cutesy smiley perky little rental agents at those nifty trendy $2.50 per square foot trust fund baby shacks fail to mention, or at least distract you from.
ReplyDelete"Robbery? Well, never mind that. Look at our coffee bar."
"Car break ins? I've never had that happen to meeeee, and we do have off street parking for $100 a month."
"Murder nearby? Uhhh..did I tell you we have a bike wash?"
How do we get the family to go after city council...that is 4th district i believe....and we know who that is
ReplyDeleteThe Star may become interested when one of their own becomes a victim.
ReplyDeleteHelling writes critically when his daughter suffers the indignity of jury duty in Kansas. Tragic for all the victims and families.
At least young Zachary was able to enjoy the "benefits of diversity", right up to the last moment of his life...but the important thing was that he wasn't a "racist". Isn't that the most important thing ? Diversity is our strength...isn't that right ?
ReplyDeleteIt's dangerous anymore for a white person to walk anywhere in KC after dark. Those who say different are only fooling themselves. If you must walk after dark then please CCW.
ReplyDeleteCarry all the time
DeleteAlways!
DeleteClose ALL BARS in town at Midnight, except for those in the 18th & Vine District.
ReplyDeleteThis gets People off the streets, and concentrates the Boons, MudSharks and MudWhales in one area, so they can only prey on each other.
Cant close bars the city gets money off the license, sales and DUIs and the towing. You know how Sly likes that money!
ReplyDeleteI lived near 37th & Broadway and later at 39th & Warwick almost 50 YEARS AGO.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a safe area then, and it's gotten much worse. There were break-ins, assaults and other petty crimes. The police were practically a fixture at the apartment buildings on Warwick. I know people who live in that area and in the West Plaza neighborhoods. Not safe, especially at night.
Easy to make up the lost revenue from Bar closings, simply stop and cite any Pickup Truck not displaying a License Plate, plus stop and write citations for music played at a volume in excess of City Ordinances, and auto of motorcycle exhaust noise in excess of those same ordinances.
ReplyDeleteProbably make up any annual losses the first week, anything after that would be gravy.
Yes that would be reverse racism.
DeleteAnd the want a street car going through Midtown
ReplyDeleteLook at the story posted directly below this one and you have your answer.
ReplyDeletePut your damn cell phone away. Carry at all times when outside. Watch for the hood rats. Remember the 21 foot rule.
ReplyDelete"..the news doesn't really care when minorities kill one another . . ."
ReplyDeleteSame with you, hypocrite. You give the murder of white men a lot more coverage than the murder of black men.
Byron, if the media covered, extensively, the murders of every black man, then, by extension, they would be forced to cover the reasons for the murder of every black man. The reason, would be that blacks are hyper violent, dangerous agents of destruction. That they represent an outrageously disproportionate percentage of violent crime, murder, rape and assault.
ReplyDeleteThe lion's share of the Main Stream Media, is a Progressive PR Bureau for all things Liberal, most especially, the Progressive-Mission-Statement-Narrative, which denies, in the face of unambiguated, daily, evidence to the contrary, the objective reality of Black criminality.
Covering the incessant violence committed by blacks against blacks and society in general, renders the Policies, politics, legislation and endeavors of Progressive Parasites untenable to all, but fanatics like you, whose willful impercipience is a sickening, national pathology.
It’s safe for me, because I am armed and proficient and would enjoy the chance to shoot a thug hood rat. Somehow they know this and there are many easier victims around to choose from.

ReplyDeleteDemocrats laud the murderer for his stand against "hormonative Whiteness"
Just when I thought this shithole country and city was getting a little forward motion with urban infill, the crime and murder washes over... Again, isn't this why Euro Americans hi tailed to the burbs 50 Years ago,,, get tough
ReplyDeleteThere was a white guy that worked at pizza bar killed in Main St 6 7 years ago, also the rockhurst college Enclave, Lotta murders of white guys by Afros, not alot of murders of Afros by white guyz
ReplyDeleteHere in KC (As it is all over the US- KC is the 29th largest city, so..., extrapolate...), Hate Crime Murders in the last year or three-

There are many more, that slip under, no, wait..., that's not true, that are HIDDEN FROM US BY AUTHORITIES AND THE MEDIA.
Cue an article from the K C Star on Emitt Till
ReplyDeleteAnd they will get justice!!!! People are fed up with blacks.
Bryon Funkhouser and the kansas city chiefs are a good example of why the crime in this city has risen.
Hats off 8:29 VERY TRUE!!!!
OK, yea but what are all of you 38 posters going to do about it?.....................(crickets)..................still waiting!......................................Anything?...........anyone?.............(crickets).............Oh hey, I see it!........... You're posting about it on a blog!!! ...............Yea that'll change this!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete2:06 You are right, white people don't want to go to prison, so, at this point, they will 'Rope A Dope".
ReplyDeleteso should this hipster be considered a martyr for sacrificing his progressive life to show that he cares about diversity???
ReplyDelete8:29 +1000000
ReplyDeleteIsn’t bLIEron double dipping with his free gubment welfare by being black and white???
ReplyDeleteIt’s not safe anywhere in killa city for white people, sLIE and the cleave want it this way
ReplyDeleteAny of you doing anything?..........anyone?........anything at all?..........wait one second!....here we are!......more blog posts!...yay.
ReplyDelete^^^ You. Can’t. Stop. The. Black. Murderers.
ReplyDeleteI heard kc s getting a new airport.hey everyone lets go to kc and go to Bryant's and gates and then get shot or beaten
ReplyDeleteYou don't talk about the Chiefs they are heroes
ReplyDelete3:20 The never ending black crime wave should at least be mentioned SOMEWHERE!
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to see the truth anywhere else, so, at least we can read it here.
This at least, is rhetorical catharsis and a voice that's heard, if only locally, at least heard.
Would "Propaganda of the deed" be more rewarding?
Sure.
But, the middle class has been stripped of power, station and a voice in traditional outlets.
This is what remains. All of Europe, Canada and most "Democratic" governments seek to crush free speech and curtail the opinions and views of those who don't toe the Progressive line and even here in America, if your politics don't fit that same "Narrative" you will be assaulted, fired from your job, ostracized in the public square and ruined for views that don't conform.
Colleges once famous for Free Speech, are now populated with blinkered, myopic Antifa thugs who beat and assault those whose views are not Progressive. This, in the name of stopping Fascism.
TKC is at least a forum, for all free speech and THAT, is why we come here.
It might not last long.
It's hard out here for white boys.
ReplyDeleteWhite lives matter.
Oh, hell ya 3:45. Speak dat truth.
ReplyDelete3:45 - Dementia setting in, you might not last long.
ReplyDeleteSorry. Your time was wasted with hatred.
I am glad all of this talk was able to solve this problem. The free speech uttered here today has really made all the difference. So many hero’s on this blog have really changed the world. This concludes today’s problem. Thanks for solving.
ReplyDelete6:40 there is no cure for the murderous thieving blacks, get over your self
ReplyDeleteNot enough police on the streets and way too many fireman. 3/4's of the firemen need to be converted to police.
ReplyDeleteHomicides in Kansas city isnt news, The first 3 letters of news is "new" and homicides in KC are a part of living there. Usually its black on black killings, and thats because of the level of human intelligence and the lack of - (which apparently that race struggles with) However the killers in this case have not been caught, it could be because infrared cameras cant go that dark at night who knows. But hey if you are white or black and you rob someone and they give you everything you rob them for and you take their life, you are one dumb fucking robber because taking a life only gains your loss of freedom when you get caught ( and if you DIDN'T live in KC...YOU Would get caught" and if you risk that you are one ignorant MF!! Now with that said, this city government doesnt obviously care about the homicide rates in this city or they would have done something about it back in the early 90"s when the all time Homicide record still holds that record. The thing I find the most rediculious is that Westport is the new Ghetto, several innocent people have been killed in a venue that washed out over ten years ago, yet developers seem to think they can rent space out for 1200 plus which as just as ignorant as the people who rob and KILL people there! Greed needs to wake the fuck up!! The people of KC need to wake the fuck up and the city government is well awake but does nothing to fix the serious problems in this shit hole of a Midwest City. A new airport? The killings will never stop in KC, so the mentality of the local government and thinking a new airport will attract people to come here is a joke!!! If you dont live here sure as fuck DON"T come here, because this city is violent and for sure dangerous, The people who run this city own no accountability to what happens here or what happens to you if you visit here or live here. So if you dont live here and want to live.....stay away!! Kansas City is a death town!!!
ReplyDelete^^^ Please learn how to spell RIDICULOUS.
ReplyDeleteAlso, move back to Iowa.
I'm going to assume his surviving friend got a good look at the peeps but I have yet to hear a single description on any media outlet. Why is that? Is protecting the feelings of black people more important than yet another person being murdered?
ReplyDeleteThis murder in particular needs to be solved. The shooter is a complete sociopath and will continue to commit completely unprovoked violence.
