  1. Did they also mention that kcps is one of the worst school districts in the nation? Exactly where and when are they going to find out where all this money is going.

  2. And some people want to have a stadium in downtown KC.
    Who want to go watch a losing team . Maybe at first, then it will get old.
    Team needs to spend some of the share of money that is given to them from MLB.
    Spend the money to get and keep good players.

  3. Would Renee Garnett be saying her son Dylan J. Garnett made a difference if it had been a minivan full of kids he could have maybe slammed into killing who knows how many. So tired of parents who just can't admit their kid fucked up. Dylan is now also know for spreading himself and a car all over K-10. Guess his love for God and Jesus didn't protect him from doing stupid things.

    Hopefully the truck driver will sue the parents for allowing their so called special brat to be allowed to text and drive while doing 70 plus down a highway.

    Sorry lady if I don't shed too many tears for you.

  4. @ 713: I too had a similar response to this story BUT then I realized that this mother and father are in severe pain in the loss of their son. Yes the truck driver did nothing wrong being stopped in traffic but his truck is covered by insurance. The problem is that their son was not paying attention and it cost him his life. K-10 is a dangerous road and the police and highway patrol do not do enough to control the speed on the highway. I have been passed like I was sitting still when I was going 75 mph out there. But it is the main road to Lawrence and Topeka for the Johnson County residents and they don't want to piss off the KU crowd. We need stronger enforcement on k-10 and I-35 and I-435. Sorry the kid lost his life but he was just doing what everybody does out there.

  5. ^^^^^^^Oh so just doing what everyone else is makes it all okay?

    I like what 7:13 says because it's the hardcore truth. When stupid people break the law they get stupid harsh rewards. And just because the big truck had insurance that makes it all okay. I agree I hope the driver sues the hell out of them for allowing a fool behind the wheel of the families car.
