TKC MUST READ!!! MAYOR SLY JAMES PENS LETTER TO KANSAS CITY STUDENT WALKOUT PROTESTERS AMID COLUMBINE ANNIVERSARY GUN RIGHTS DEBATE!!!
This letter from Kansas City's top ranking politico pays begrudging respect to Constitutional Rights but then goes on to tout the same talking points pushed by rapid opponents of the 2nd Amendment.
Amid a litany of events this day marks, in just a few moments students across the nation will walkout of class in order to protest gun violence and demand policy reform.
We've highlighted the important passages revealing that Mayor Sly's beautiful words FAIL to offer even a hint of a viable solution for reducing so much local gun violence despite his allegiance to this popular movement championed by youngsters and progressive political interests.

A Letter from Mayor Sly James to Students for the National School Walkout Day
To: The Students of Kansas City
From: Mayor Sly James
RE: April 20, 2018 National School Walkout Day
Dear Student Leaders:
Let me first tell you how proud I am of you for persisting in this effort to make your schools, and by extension our cities, safer by demanding common sense gun laws.
Although some misguided pundits and politicians have chosen to attack you rather than the problem, you have remained committed to your principles and vision. Make no mistake, however, most of those who profit from the proliferation of guns and the political campaign funding that goes with it have provided little or no evidence that they are now open to enacting reasonable changes in our gun laws or systems.
There are those with public voices who choose to portray your (our) position as a zero sum game. They argue that what we stand for is offensive to the Second Amendment and calls for the government to ban the rights of law abiding citizens to own guns. Don’t let these voices speak for you, especially in light of the fact that they are deliberately misstating our position. They are experts at using hyperbole and fear to avoid change to a system that benefits them. The problem is, however, that there is evidence and data that shows that lives can be saved without infringing on the Second Amendment.
Massachusetts had the lowest gun death rate in the country in 2016 of 3.5 per 100,000 and earned the number 1 gun safety rank. Massachusetts has managed to drastically reduce gun deaths in their state by adopting 4 of seven common sense laws, while Missouri has enacted none of the seven laws, Missouri, by contrast was ranked 45 with a gun death rate of 18.78 per 100,000 . Kansas has a gun safety rank of 29 with 13.17 deaths per 100,000 while enacting none of the seven laws while Illinois ranks 15 with 11.64 deaths per 100,000 after enacting one of the seven laws. (“Seven Steps. 27,000 Lives,” The Boston Globe, March 23, 2018) The lower gun death rate in Massachusetts can be significantly attributed to common sense gun laws the state began to pass and implement at least two decades ago. And, so far, after so long, there has been no reported revolution or revolt in Massachusetts by mobs of gun owners protesting the abrogation of the Second Amendment in that state.
Although the number of gun deaths can be influenced by multiple factors such as the rate of ownership, education, and economic well-being, clearly common sense laws can both co-exist with the Second Amendment and help to save lives. Shouldn’t saving lives be a governmental goal and priority or is it all about the money?
I want you to know that although I can’t be with you for the walkout commemorating the 19th anniversary of the Columbine school shooting on the 20th, I will remain with you as we continue to fight for our lives for the years to come. I join your efforts to make your schools safer but I also join your efforts as a means to hopefully stop the daily slow motion mass murders on the streets of our city.
Make no mistake that although it may take years to make effective change in our laws and attitude about guns, it is a fight worth having and a goal worth achieving. If we stay committed, continue to stand together, and VOTE responsibly, we can and will save lives.
I wish you the best and proudly support your efforts.
Sincerely,
Mayor Sly James

It's all just a popularity contest for Sly.
ReplyDeleteWhy he even mentions the 2nd Amendment is beyond me. All of the declarative sentences in this diatribe are straight from the gun grabber handbook.
DeleteHaha
ReplyDeleteBe fair to the mayor. He has at least tried to push some legislation forward but it was quickly killed by the Missouri legislature who are more than content to take away our city's ability to do anything to help fight the violence on our streets.
ReplyDeleteThe blame lies in Jeff City that is becoming dysfunctional. Just look at the governor.
I would suggest, that if the skolars want to skip skool, then they should be asked before they walk out, "Who is Madame Marie Curie?"
ReplyDeleteOn this date, April 20th, 1902 -
"On April 20, 1902, Marie and Pierre Curie successfully isolate radioactive radium salts from the mineral pitchblende in their laboratory in Paris. In 1898, the Curies discovered the existence of the elements radium and polonium in their research of pitchblende. One year after isolating radium, they would share the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics with French scientist A. Henri Becquerel for their groundbreaking investigations of radioactivity."
Curie was a true hero.
My guess is, that the fuckin Mayor, nor, any of the skolars have any idea who she was. Not only that, but the skolars will celebrate 4/20 EXACTLY as you think they will.
They will skip skool and puff up muthafukkas.
4/20 forever!!!!!!!!!! (cough, cough..., COUGH!!!)
Go4KC are you ever delusional. James knows what the issue is and ignores it. This letter was nothing more than some media attention while doing a lot of talking and not one step of walking in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI bet Chuck knows it's Adolph Hitler's Birthday.
ReplyDeleteThere was nothing heroic about Curie's work.
I bet 9:06/BlieRON knows the deadline for tax filing got extended a few days this year. Naw, he's aware of when his gummint "gift card" gets reloaded every month, though.
DeleteThe man has his opinions and is expressing them. Just like you worthless bastards expressing yours. This is America, and the mayor can do whatever he wants. The fact that chowder heads like chuck don't like it, means it's the right opinion. Suck on that losers!
ReplyDeleteShine up Mayor Bullhorn's shoes real good, slave.
DeleteTo go4kc: Bullshit. All the legislation this fat shithead tries to push forward has to do with just another way to suck out a few more shekels from the already overtaxed subjects of this shitty. I thought he was having an attack the other day as the spittle was flying while he condemned the legislature for considering a 12% sales tax limit for MO. This would fuck up his plans to rack up even more revenue for Sly, his developer friends and all the thieves around 18th street.
ReplyDeletewhy do people blame every one but the person pulling the trigger
ReplyDeleteBecause commies, collectivists, crimmies, cucks, crackheads, coons, cretins, and crybabies are craycrays!
DeleteGo4KC is just "on the clock" at KCMO City Hall. That is Chris Hernandez handle here.
ReplyDeleteChuck, thank you. Great post.
Sly James, if you love Massachusetts so much, since you do not even OWN a home here, just a renter, at 108 E 30th St on Union Hill, why don't you just MOVE there. Run for office there.
Your rahrah, today, is so transparent, when your actions in City Hall are NOT. Fix crime in KC. And fire Troy Schulte, your runnin' buddy.
You say you can't "be there" to join the kids. What are you doing? Playing with your 1000 toys you ordered on Amazon?
Isn’t’ it amazing how the liberals blame the gun for the Parkland Florida Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting and they are not blaming the bombs in the Austin bombings.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the outrage?
My guess at this point, is, that there will be around 160 murders this year. Considering that only about 50% of murders are solved each year in Kansas City, it would lead a reasonable person, to assume, that there are several students, guilty of murder, "Marching" against gun owners and the 2nd Amendment today.
ReplyDeleteIrony and nuance are bereft on the left.
The killers who would see you disarmed in the face of the violence and chaos they create, of course, will march against you right to defend yourself.
"Mass Shootings" as I have said, should be defined in total and with a reasonable time line, according to the actual damage they do to society and communities. In a month, here in KC, we surpass the numbers at Columbine, as do cities like Chicago, in, sometimes, a day. But, that is black crime and a racially biased press, manipulates we plebes into believing, that crime is caused, not committed. THE GUN DID IT!
Columbine was horrible, but certainly not as horrible as the ongoing violence, chaos, destruction and dysfunction stemming from dysgenic mobs of gang bangers and their enablers like the Mayor, who would have you believe that numbers don't count and suppression of facts in emotional displays of ignorance are a salve to our county's wounds.
Those wounds bleed by way of outrageously disproportionate African American Criminality, not, the NRA, or, "GUNS" or, anything else.
It's categorical, but, sure, go ahead and "March for peace."
What a joke.
Thanks Tracy.
ReplyDeleteThe progressives will try to get you to believe our forefathers meant this about the constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe 1st and 4th amendment shall protect the digital technologies of the future including cell phones, email and other private messages conveyed by electronic means but the 2nd amendment shall only apply to muskets.
Meanwhile,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteThis Degenerate Pathetic Disastrous KCMO Mayor SLY JAMES, former ambulance chasing attorney,,,,
Continues to push for lighter criminal sentences for hardened criminals and felons. Mayor Sly James & His Cohort, Jean Peters Bakers are well known "SOFT on Crime Liberal Politicians", who only want to cater to the Criminals & their families in hopes of VOTES !!
They are known as "Criminal Coddlers" !!!!
Then anybody who has the guts to call those liberal "Criminal Coddlers" out on the carpet about their phony agenda's, they shoot back with all kinds of pathetic rhetoric, excuses and flat out bullshit !!!
Sly James in NO Different than that other pathetic Degenerate LIBERAL Mayor in O'bamas CHICAGO , Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, where there are over 500 murders a year !!!
These Degenerate Criminal Coddling Pathetic communist Libtard supposed politicians are so pathetic, even with the FACTS & TRUTH in their face, they will never ever admit the TRUTH, as they will continue to point the finger at everybody else , but themselves and their phony liberal communist agenda's, that are NOT working in other liberal run cities across this country !!
Same with Baltimore and their high crime rates and Murders rates !
As the Liberal nantra continues to "Cater & Pander" to the violent criminals and Drug Dealers in cities across this country, the pathetic horrible excuses by these Degenerate liberal Ass Clowns are plentiful !!!
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Sly James !!!!!
"Chuck, thank you. Great post."
ReplyDeleteWTF are you talking about?
Great post? It was a little bio of a scientist.
Chuck owns guns because he is a coward. Period. His post didn't mention his fear & hatred of black men.
STFU, bitch.
Hey NRA, stop killing our kids! That’s our job.
ReplyDeleteSincerely
Planned Parenthood
Proud sponsor of the march to stop the killing of our children.
^^Way too long, written by a moron, will not read.
ReplyDeleteSorry Tracy, chuck is already spoken for. You'll have to fight off stupid dave if you get with that.
ReplyDeleteThe tendency of liberals is to create bodies of men and women — of all classes — detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion — mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined.
ReplyDeleteI will pass on anything written by chuck too.
ReplyDeleteGood. Real glad you "pass on" anything written by Chuck, too. That's what I do when I share his posts I like, mostly with retired military friends.
DeleteThe problem is, as Slie has shown, anybody can make statistics show whatever they want them to show.
ReplyDeleteWe have a right to life, right. Too many guns in the hands of irresponsible or criminal people are interfering with that right, the right to life. We need proper (strict) enforcement of current gun laws in order to ensure the ability of people to enjoy their right to “life.”
ReplyDeleteGo4kc the blame lies with the mayor, no one else, everybody in this city knows who the problem is and yet nothing has been done about it. Hell, they’re scared to mention it, big pussies. You can’t fix what you don’t talk about. sLIE sold these people out for votes and you can’t get votes from the black community if you tell them they’re the problem.
ReplyDeleteDon’t be blaming the state for lack of local control and an out of control murder problem. sLIE is the problem.
There are two cities in this state that have the worst black on black crime in the country, killa shitty and shitty Louis, no one else in the state or country has this problem.
How lucky we are to have dummocrats for mayors
9:26
ReplyDeleteYou are right sir. I have a very, very healthy respect for extemporaneous, blind sided black violence, having experienced it many times.
My good friend and long time benefactor, was just killed, on the Indian Creek Trail last year. I have been shot at once during a robbery and my business shot up several times by blacks. I was beaten on two different occasions by blacks, once outside of the Elisted Men's Club in the service and here in the city in 1978. My friend R. was shot in the chest with a 357 (He lived.) at Superior Sound in the 80's. I was robbed at gunpoint working my way through college at 71st and Troost in 1976. I quit, the kid who took my place at 7/11, was killed, on my shift, the very next week. I was held up at gunpoint at Antin's House of Video in 1981 (Long story) by a black guy.
The list goes on, but, you get my point.
I am, in no way, disrespectful of black violence and have a very, very healthy respect for it.
Just for the record though, you and everyone of those cocksuckers can go fuck yourself.
Have nice day and try to be prepared for anything shitheel.
ReplyDeleteHey Sly where is your solution? You always point a finger but never have anything positive to help fix things. Take a good look at your city! As a matter of fact Sly James, you are adding to the gun violence in this city by blaming white people and low income for people who don't want to work, due to the free hand outs they get from people like LBJ and his bogus war on poverty!
Sly Jame you are nothing more than a trouble maker and dead beat dad!
^^Hey where's your solution? You always complain on here, but never offer anything. Take a good look at yourself before you start pointing fingers. You are nothing more than a complaining bastard.
ReplyDeleteThing is, Mayor Bullhorn's paid to 'lead'. It's his job. Now get back to giving the clown a foot massage.
DeletePoor old Chuck. So hateful. So scared. So full of shit. Your life must be one sad scene, motherfucker!
ReplyDeleteA perfect fit for the equally sad Tracy, so in need of attention. You know she knew Walt Bodine, right?
Keep saying that Igor and the problem will get worse, not better, especially if you blame the people who actually know what the problem is. But, that is the liberal Democrat way.
ReplyDelete9:45 is the same ole poster who makes hate comments on every post Tony makes. Many have made great comments about this issue here today while the scum posters like nothing better than to post crappy comments that proves their inability to accept facts.
ReplyDeleteNotice how these haters always attack the author and never the facts they post? Typical snowflake type results or just a jealous person who can't bear to see the truth in print.
Come on if you're posting in here Chris Hernandez as a public figure at least have the balls to do so under your own name.
Hey 10:33AM^^Did you ever notice how most of the posters on hear say the most hateful, vile, despicable racist stuff? No? You're only concerned about 9:45's comments which are in no way hateful? Do you understand that YOU are the problem? Of course you don't you're too fucking stupid. Grow up child. Don't make me smack your dumb-ass down again.
ReplyDeleteSYLVESTER JAMES PERSONALITY PROFILE
ReplyDeleteCan you say "DYSFUNCTION"?
Grew up on KC's East-side, but did not attend KCMO public schools.
His step-mother was just a few years older than himself.
Married outside his race while still in his teens. Marriage quickly ended in divorce, and he was estranged from his gay son for most of his life.
Joined the military and served as a military police officer for 4 years.
Bachelors degree from Rockhurst.
Started law school at Syracuse, then transferred to Minnesota. Wonder why?
Became a personal injury attorney in which braggadocio, intimidation, and threats are normal operating procedure.
Married outside his race for a second time.
James has expressed a certain disdain for urban core residents who haven't been able to escape their conditions. Because his family was able to send him to a Catholic high school, he believes those left behind have themselves to blame.
After a successful legal career, he grew bored hanging out on the Plaza drinking scotch, and his narcissism led him to politics.
Was barely elected Mayor in 2011 when only 21-percent of eligible voters participated in the vote. The KC Star endorsed James, while 3 former mayors endorsed Mike Burke.
As soon as he assumed office, James greatly expanded the Mayor's Office budget, redecorated the office, and took on round-the-clock security with KCPD. His predecessor used no security and drove his own personal vehicle, like a regular person.
In 2015, James won re-election when only approximately 10-percent of eligible voters participated. Despite having failed to pay his taxes on time, making him ineligible, a friendly court refused to disqualify him.
Local engineering firm Burns and McDonnell was one, if not the largest, of campaign contributors to James. Subsequently, KCMO financed the company's HQ expansion building and granted a plethora of incentives and tax breaks for the wealthy private corporation.
Mayor James and City Manager Schulte purposely promoted a false narrative to citizens, concerning an exponential rise in their property taxes, in order to force through the $800M GO bond issue.
They used the same tactic to hoodwink taxpayers on the Earnings Tax renewal.
Mayor James pushed through a generous pay increase and contract extension for City Manager Troy Schulte.
Subsequently, James, Schulte, and Councilperson Justus entered into secret talks with Burns and McDonnell in an effort to award them a billion-dollar airport terminal contract. They wanted to give the largest public works project in KCMO history to James' campaign cash benefactor without soliciting bids for the project.
Now, when many on the Council have finally caught on to James' machinations, he lashes out at them like the fat little insecure bully that he's always been.
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU SIT ON YOUR ASS AT HOME ON VOTING DAY
I wrote 10:33 and I would post under my own name but I tried that a few years back and Byron and a few in here posting thought it was great fun to attack me at my work place and follow me on every site I might be a part of trying to spread lies and make hateful comments about race and my so called pedofile attempts and investigations while turning me into several fanatical so called anti racists groups who then started calling at my work place and what not. So that is why I don't use my name anymore soon as I stopped posting under my name in here they more of less left me alone. If I was a public figure it would be a different story but I am not. This is why I wish Tony would make it where you had to register to post but could still remain anonymous but if you get out of hand he could reach out to you with a warning or just block you. Many of you that scream hate speech are the ones who are truly the guilty ones of hate speech and hate tactical actions.
ReplyDelete@10:45AM-way too long. Will never read.
ReplyDelete@10:48AM-written by a moron, who cares what a moron says, won't read.
ReplyDeleteTime to pimp out some high school kids for political gain. Doesn't matter which side you are on.
ReplyDelete10:46, fuck you Gregg. You're a fucking liar.
ReplyDelete^^If that's what it takes for meaningful reform. So be it.
ReplyDelete10:46 is Paul Wilson aka Polar Bear.
ReplyDeleteHe never used his real name, the fucking liar.
Some people are all upset in this thread, why can't we all just get along?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Tony, the REAL Byron Funkhouser never commented on this blog, & never donated $50 to his legal defense fund, & never received an email thanking him for the donation because he knew that Byron Funkhouser wasn't middle class. I wonder what the name on the email claimed to be. The REAL Byron Funkhouser never donated money to Brandon Ellington & was never listed by him on his website as a supporter. The REAL Byron Funkhouser never sent a check to May Evans to celebrate the birth of her son, Henry & bought two books from her.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that Byron Funkhouser never made an comments using his real name & only ever made anonymous comments.
The REAL Byron Funkhouser was never attacked on this blog by anyone because you people wouldn't do that. He wasn't routinely called a child molester, a thief, a school bus chaser, a sheep shagger, & my personal favorite, a racist, because, wait for it, he didn't hate black people.
It was only ever a comment troll claiming to be Byron Funkhouser.
@11:30: Definitely agree and it appears to me that the majority of the hatred is directed at City Hall, Sly, Jean, comments people disagree with and Schulte. It is very evident people are fed up with their incompetent leaders and are slashing out at whoever is around. I do not fault them for being fed up with Kansas City government.
ReplyDeleteAs many have said the cause of the problem with the killings and crime in Kansas City is obvious and City Government and the County Justice department do not want to address it or at the very least acknowledge it. Instead the powers to be want to coddle the culprits let alone address them.
Sly has an agenda to push and will go to whatever means necessary to get his agenda through.
Solution is vote them out of office and get a council that pushes back harder than this one.
^^^. Good luck with that. The world does not work that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm not Paul or Gregg have no idea who the Gregg person would even be and Wilson while being full of more BS than Glazer or Hearne @ KCC I really doubt he is the Polar Bear guy. He is too egoistic and a legend in his own mind to not use his own name. If one remembers it was Wilson who threatened to have Tony beaten up by some teamster dudes because too many were posting the truth about his wife that he was so busy pimping out as the greatest singer ever. I heard her a few times at Tony's old hang out Jardines before it closed. She has just an average voice nothing fantastic to look at end of story. Just your average wannabe famous singer who doesn't have it in more ways than one and Wilson couldn't deal with it.
ReplyDeleteTracy Thomas is point on: Why can’t the Mayor be there?
ReplyDeleteTop Reasons:
1. Meal with Troy.
2. Planning next TIF w KC Star
3. Still trying to arbitrate as a Lawyer during the week
4. Making a Deal to sell Plaza tennis courts to raise money for (insert city wish list)
5. Working hard just like Greitens is...
6. Doesn’t do Fridays
7. Working on the Mensa thing
8. Working with Hoopz on a new column
9. Planning a round 3 for toy train through Troost Ave to Plaza
10. Hoe Down with Clay Chastain
^^^^ you forgot his Friday Orgy with the white girls!
ReplyDeleteI heard he has a photo shoot with 3D mini me today! Lmao!
ReplyDeleteJust left the rally at Gilliam Park. Car wash cleaver was there blaming everything on speaker Paul Ryan
ReplyDeletePandering to 15yr olds, god sLIE, is this all you got
ReplyDelete10:01 who doesn’t know Walt bodine, what are you 15 or something
ReplyDelete10:01, aka Igor Stravinsky--
ReplyDeleteLOL, who was actually married for awhile to Gloria Vanderbilt, Anderson Cooper's wonderful mother.
Walt Bodine was Tracy's mentor. In fact, he mentored over 50 young women because unlike most leaders at the time, he knew their worth and the contributions they could make to this city.
Walt was the first newsman to sign on to the first TV newscast in KC. I think 1950. Knew Truman, reported on him as well as every important news event of the times. Eventually, Doubleday contracted with Walt to produce their one and only "city book/history and flavor of the place" book. He had only completed 7 chapters out of 21, and spent the advance money on other less-determined or skilled interns who never completed the book. Doubleday wanted the advance, $3000, back. Walt didn't have it--he was working for NCCJ doing PR for a non-profit for low pay.
That's when an anxious Walt Bodine met Tracy Thomas at a NOW meeting (where Kathryn Shields was the President!). She had just left the Wheeler administration. To keep Walt from going into debt, Tracy took on completing the book, working for free for two years. "Right Here in River City" by Tracy Thomas and Walt Bodine was published by Doubleday in 1976. During that time, Walt taught Tracy how to do PR and secured her first two clients for her ad agency.
In the 80's, Tracy personally used her contacts to secure for Walt his gig at KMBC-TV9, "Whaddya Think About That", a kind of Andy Rooney upbeat rollout to the 6pm News. Which led to his second book which he wrote by himself.
So, "Igor", as the late great Paul Harvey used to say, "so now you know the rest of the story."
^WTF is with this referring to yourself in the third person? Are you "ill"? I'm starting to wonder if "Tracy" is someone else.
DeleteIlleism is a trait of royalty and those with inflated egos. It's schizoid sounding.
Old Walt had a pretty darn good steakhouse named after him as well. That ain't nothin'.
ReplyDelete^^^Good to see chuck's posts are a big hit among the aged and PTSD set.
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves chuck!
ReplyDeleteExcept trailer trash like you
God I love America. God Bless all the military and emergency services personnel and all the working folks. God Bless the 1st and all the other amendments.
ReplyDelete3:36--you got me. I was gonna just respond a bit about Walt, as Anonymous, because I get weary of you jackals who get so triggered seeing my photo and name.. So I started writing in the third person. But got carried away as usual, writing War and Peace, and realized y'all know my voice,so I said fuck it and posted as me.
ReplyDeleteSo I committed the sin of shifting persons.or my new word of the day, thanks to you, Anon, "illeism". I'm in good company wit Bernie Sanders, Gina Lollobrigida and Mr. T!

SLIMEBALL SYLVESTER EGGS ON IGNORANT STUDENTS
ReplyDeleteExample:
Stay "committed to your principles" -- Sylvester James
Please note he did not tell the students:
Stay committed to your principals.
Stay in school, and graduate from high school.
Don't have children before you get married.
After you complete your education, get a job and work hard.
Isn't Sly the father of a son who has committed theft, drunk driving, violence and a failure to appear for one of his court hearings? So, wouldn't it be wise for Sly to address mental health while he's pontificating on what is necessary and helpful to reduce destructive and possibly deadly actions. Apparently Nick Cruz needed intensive psychological intervention. Who failed that troubled teen? That list is long, it seems to have been discovered. Sad. And, bad.
ReplyDeleteHey 10:45 comment
ReplyDeleteWho did you copy that from? It's very good!
hahaha I recognize my own genius writing, and am glad it made an impression on you.
