KCPD 'FIGHTING IRISH' CRACKDOWN WARNING TKC QUESTION: IS KANSAS CITY TOO DRUNK & VIOLENT FOR VISITORS TO SAFELY CELEBRATE ST. PADDY'S DAY?!?!

Whether locals struggle with the sauce or impulse control . . . KCPD has put Kansas City on notice with a warning that authorities will be out in full force to keep unruly crowds in check and on the lookout for drunk drivers.
Check the links that pretty much acknowledge that public boozing is a Kansas City tradition:
Fox4: KC police switch to patrols instead of checkpoints for St. Patrick’s Day drunk driving enforcement
KMBC: This coming weekend is the busiest weekend of the year for DUI's - St. Patrick's Day
KSHB: Kansas City police will not have a DUI checkpoint during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend for the first time in more than 20 years.
Background . . .
“St. Patrick's Day is one of our days where we have the highest number of DUI fatalities,” said Sgt. Christopher Betch, supervisor of the KCPD DUI unit.
In 2017, Kansas City police made 65 DUI arrests on St. Patrick’s Day weekend alone. Many of these drunk drivers were contacted at checkpoints.
Missouri legislators last year eliminated the money for DUI checkpoints and so the switch to patrols will make things more INTERESTING this weekend . . .
More to the point . . .
SATURDAY ST. PADDY'S THREATENS TO BE A CHAOTIC AFFAIR WITH LESS CASH FOR POLICE TO CLEAR AWAY DRUNKS!!!
And so we ask . . .
IS KANSAS CITY TOO DANGEROUS FOR DRUNKEN GOOD TIMES GIVEN THE ONGOING MURDER SPIKE OR WILL THE LUCK OF THE IRISH PROTECT PARTY-GOERS?!?!
Whatever the case, anything beyond the parade isn't really a family affair and so we ask our blog community to weigh-in on the topic and share plans to offer tribute to the patron saint on a holy day now dedicated to depravity.
You decide . . .
The restaurants and elected officials ruined this one.
ReplyDeleteIt needs to go back to the days of a neighborhood parade. The bars just want to make money so they over-hyped it and turned it into a carnival. Now of course there's not any meaning and it's really just a puke fest in between fights.
Just like New Year's Eve, totally amateur hour.
DeleteLet's hope they can get that westport privatization effort up and running. Or else they already lost the day and a lot of their business.
Delete^^^ +100
ReplyDeleteKansas City is safe on St Pats day, well that is if you just stay home.
ReplyDelete^^^ Excellent point.
ReplyDeleteThe party starts today at noon bitches and doesn't end until sundown on Sunday. See you in Westport.
ReplyDeleteFree blowjobs! Mens room. Kelly's. 6pm until..whenever.
ReplyDeleteOh no! OMG! Oh God why? St. Paddy's day be afraid! Help us all dear lord? OH no why, God why? Other people out drinking & having fun? I so afraid? No unconstitutional checkpoints to illegally stop and search the citizens? Why, dear lord why? Be afraid, be VERY VERY VERY afraid! People going out?...why? Oh no...I can't even right now!! Dear lord pray for us all! What do we do!!! It's St. Paddy's day you all, do you know what that means??? Jesus Christ! I'm so afraid. I fear this so much!!! So many people out and enjoying themselves, I can't even!!!!!!! Oh God No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the purge!!!!!!!!!! St. Paddy's day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh, you mean it happens every year? Every single year? You mean they say this every year...every single year? So this is just trolling and fear-mongering the aged and shut-in to make them feel better about never ever going anywhere and doing anything remotely fun? I get it now!
ReplyDelete7:34 you truly are a dumbass aren’t you, you’re stupid comments are tiring and boring, we all know st paddy’s day is safe, it’s the colored people that kill and maim, Jesus man you’re an idiot
ReplyDeleteIt certainly won't be violent since black people won't be involved. Nobody will get shot.
ReplyDeleteYeah black people aren't welcome anywhere humans are enjoying life.
ReplyDeleteThey can all just disappear as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one thing worse than a drunk man, and that's a drunk women.
SAD when people have to drink to have fun!
ANTIFA will solve the problem/concerns. They will work hand in hand with the police and Mayor Slie.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one thing worse than drunken men and women and that's drunken geezers. Sad you have to drink to forget your miserable lives.
ReplyDeleteExtra patrols will be better because it will mean more units available to respond the the violence that could break out.
ReplyDelete^^ Could being the operative word here. It was fine last year, and the year before and the year before. Remember, violence COULD happen anywhere anytime.
ReplyDeleteThe Gawd Damned Kansas City Atheist Coalition of Pricks is planning on carrying their little signs in front of Kellys on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't those puke take their atheshit protests to a MOSQUE? Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!
^^^^^Why would you even care?
ReplyDeleteKCPD could not fight its way out of a wet paper bag.
ReplyDelete10:06, why do they?
ReplyDeleteEvery year they hassles the Irish. Fucking bigots.
8:38 you’re truly a worthless cocksucker, you can still suck dick tomorrow, you’ll probably have to go to JoCo instead of downtown where you usually go, the Irish are sorry that you’ll have to move your dick sucking operation to a new location but don’t worry it’s only for a day
ReplyDelete^^Yawn.
ReplyDelete12:27, go back to sleep.
ReplyDelete^keep writting comments and I will.......
ReplyDelete10:08, you tell us.
ReplyDeleteThe KCAC pricks show up at the parade every year to hassle people and makes fools of themselves.
I don't think they realize people are laughing at them.
^^Nobody cares!
ReplyDeleteThere are too many black Irish folk in KC - more than in all of Ireland itself. Given the inclination for problems related to their Irish roots I'll set out on the patio and have some corned beef with my IRA special close by.
ReplyDelete1:41...except you! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe parade is a fun time if you mind your manners and stay out of trouble. Most bums can't do that so they're better off staying on the Internet and complaining.
ReplyDeleteEVERYBODY THAT SEEN THE LEPRECHAUN SAY YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!
ReplyDelete(if you dont respond to this post, you will be stricken with the Irish Curse)
