This Juneteenth weekend was marked by celebration of an exceptionally important American holiday but also by rampant violence in the Kansas City urban core.
Police reported more than 8 shootings over the past 24 hours and two homicides.
Accordingly . . .
KANSAS CITY JUNETEENTH WEEKEND CONCLUDES WITH YET ANOTHER URBAN DEADLY DOUBLE SHOOTING!!!
Check the deets:
One person killed, one injured in overnight shooting
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Police are investigating a double shooting in the 2800 block of Benton Plaza. Police say they found two gunshot victims at the scene when they responded around 12:15 a.m. One victim, an adult male, was found in the street suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Developing . . .
Damn shame. Benton Plaza was once a really nice place to live only a few years ago. KC is changing fast.
ReplyDeleteThese lives mattered. But not to the killers. Hope the prosecutor will work just as hard on putting them in jail.
Delete^^^ Nah.
ReplyDeleteIt has always been poor but I will agree it hasn't been this violent.
BLACK LIVES MATTER!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?
Except maybe to other Blacks and to Jean Peters Baker!
This mayor lied to all of us. He ran on public safety and addressing crime. His first 10 months in office have been the most violent in history.
ReplyDeleteHe had no chance of winning the northland or far south again. With the census wrapping up the northland will have 6 council members soon and they will have no desire to have a fight between city and police.
This city is absolutely going to record over 180 killings in 2020, and is shaping up to hit 200 soon.
Do they make Black Lives Splatter balloons ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe all the black BLM marchers "working to end systemic racism" and their clueless white suburban do-gooders need to move the locations and times of their protests.
ReplyDeleteTry recruiting participants for marches at 18th and Vine or down College Avenue for these meaningless events at around 1:30am and see who the really dedicated SJW are.
The homicides in KCMO are perpetrated by a small minority of a minority population, and many of the killers have murdered more than once.
Until local "leaders" at city hall and the black community and the narrative-driven local media are honest enough to at least accurately define the problem, nothing is going to change.
More residents move, more businesses relocate or close and the city continues to go don the tubes.
And what's the latest reaction to the homicides at 18th and Vine?
MORE MONEY.
You really can't make this stuff up.
456 when was that back in the 30s
ReplyDeleteI suburban folk dont know the difference between Benton Plaza and Benton Blvd and South Benton. Not being from here makes knowing these things difficult. Benton Plaza is Sycamore Grove, off Truman Road & I-70... across from Sycamore Grove Park. I know that doesn’t help the racists but maybe will help clueless suburbanites. It’s also minutes from 18th Vine. Benton Plaza is an East/West oriented street whereas Benton Blvd & South Benton run North/South.
ReplyDeleteThis happened near I-70/Truman road. Your welcome.
Koontown in other words. Just ovoid the darkies.
DeleteWho the fuck cares. It's all Mogadishu.
DeleteI have an idea how to stop the killing. Let's defund the police!
ReplyDeleteRegardless of your age, sex, political party, etc, it’s a real shame what has happened to KC. And it’s getting worse every day.
ReplyDeleteNo lets get rid of the police NO FUNDS = NO POLICE
ReplyDeleteWhen are you pussys going to take back your city!
ReplyDeleteITS A PARTY BUT NOBODY CARES
ReplyDeleteTHIS AND PLANNED PARENTHOOD ARE THE WAYS THE LIBERAL ELITES CONTROL THE BLACK POPULATION AND THE STUPID BLACKS CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR THEM!
ReplyDelete610 ya that’s it
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, in the major leagues, Baltimore has 152 murders and Chicago has 301. Our hood rats are weak and unskilled.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, Kc, Detroit or Baltimore. Where you have Blacks, you have murders. Flat ass why does everyone push the blame on everything else ? BLM when people can tear up, loot and kill. But BL doesn't Matter to the black community. They prove that each and every day. The real protest should be for demands that the black community clean up their own problems. BTW- you can add any major city in the World to that opening list.
ReplyDeleteJust remember once this city goes to shit so far you can’t bring it back just look at Detroit
ReplyDeleteKC the new Detroit
ReplyDeleteSLY AND THE FAMILY CROOKS ALREADY DEFUNDED THE POLICE. JACK OFFS!
ReplyDeleteHe defunded 300 police jobs down the river like Obama did manufacturers
ReplyDeleteThe secret little plan of the Urban politician...Use the murder crisis to get more $$$. City must invest more, invest in these areas of murder(3rd District), invest in the employed. Lets form a committee to research 18th and Vine, Pre school, anything else.
ReplyDeleteBlack
ReplyDeleteDenial
Matters
Let me remind all of the people of the catchy little phrase that is true in the black community....SILENCE IS VIOLENCE! Report crime to the police adn cooperate with them to catch the thieves and murderers.
ReplyDeleteMAYOR QUAGMIRE MUST RESIGN!!
ReplyDeleteBefore the year started, he pledged a 2020 with no more than 100 homicides.
KCMO is up to 86 homicides and we're not quite to the 2020 halfway mark.
Quinton Lucas is dragging this city down. He's pushing the same tired old liberal Democrat policies that pander to the working poor while giving generous tax incentives to wealthy non-residents, who then fund his campaign coffers.
