    If it's promoted by KCMO, probably a scam.

    She knows who it is, she knows who she pissed off.

    Here's a clue Rochelle, the clue your seeking is located right there inside your own family.

  4. ^^^The real question is why haven't YOU gone to the police if you know something?!?! Huh? Or are you just running your mouth? Probably just running your mouth like the rest of the blowhards on here.

  5. Does anyone find it ironic when we, almost universally, laud profusely our no-kill pet shelters, while supporting pro-kill Planned Parenthood?

    Headline that gunfire is getting worse:

    Absolutely. More range time is sorely needed to improve it. Hit whom you're shooting at, not an innocent child!

  7. I'm dyslexic. I already celebrated 618 day. In June.

  11. Still no leads in the case of the 8-year old homicide victim?
    And after all the photo ops, marching around, selfies, speeches, and going door-to-door leaving notices about the $25,000 rewards?
    What a surprise!
    The people in the house know what's going on, as do some people in the neighborhood.
    Where are all the "activists" and social justice warriors when you really need them?
    Having a balloon release at some suburban church.
    And what passes for leadership in the black community is down at city hall trying to intimidate the electeds for another million for 18th and Vine!
    Really sad.

  15. It's just another day of the year. Just like July 85th is just another day of the year in most of Northern Kansas.

  16. The Scooter tragedy, at first I thought they were talking about those nusiance BIRD scooters, which I thought wow, BIRDs dont usually end up in the metro that far south, but once I read the story and saw that it was a MOPED aka 49cc scooter I though of a millenial that stepped their game up from a Bird to a Vespa, I was shocked to see that a 57 year old was who was driving it. Just goes to show public transportation in KCMO suckes enough that a old dude was forced to drive home on a 49cc scooter at 12:45 AM . Thats close to the tiny house community for homeless Vets, I hope it wasnt one of those dudes. Glad the guy that hit him and killed him stopped, that usually doesnt happen in that part of the city.
