Over the past 72 hours there have been nearly half a dozen homicides in Kansas City at the start of what could be a historically deadly summer.
To wit and around the same time a youngster suffered gunfire this morning . . .
KANSAS CITY THREATENS TO REACH 100 HOMICIDES BEFORE JULY 4TH IN A HISTORIC 2020 MURDER SPIKE!!!
Meanwhile, City Hall is cutting police along with other city services but still hoping to increase funding for entertainment districts and corporate welfare.

Developing . . .
But subsidy for the entertainment district actually has the potential to make money. We've got to keep that momentum going!
ReplyDeleteshooting gallery KC. Also an 11 year old shot last night too. Town is going to Hell and fast.
Deletewhere's the mayor. Doing another livestream interview about justice with nbc?
Delete^^^
ReplyDeleteCould be worse. If Jolie won, Rachel Maddow would blame Republicans for the shooting.
At this rate we could pull closer to 200 homicides. I hope this shuts up the defund police crowd. That's about that last thing that needs to happen right now.
ReplyDeleteIf KCMO keeps averaging a homicide every other day like it has been (and it isn't even hot/holidays yet) the city will close out the year at 182+ murders. That is 1 murder for every 2,700 KCMO citizen. Baltimore is 1 murder for every 1,754 citizen. Tragic.
DeleteByron's favorite pets eliminating one another.
ReplyDeleteThe awful state of black culture and black lives.
ReplyDeleteBlacks are like crabs in a bucket, even their so called faith leaders use and manipulate them for personal gain.
We should be at 90 with the vehicular murder of that poor girl and 91 with the murder suicide yesterday.
ReplyDelete^^^ the murder suicide was counted BUT you're right about the vehicular homicide.
ReplyDeleteThe violence on society will continue to rise till society decides to deal with the violence.
ReplyDeleteKansas City laid off 200 officers after Ferguson and now want to defund the police.
ReplyDeleteInsanity. The Democrat Party is completely insane and radicalized with Marxism.
The Democrat Party wants to destroy our country and replace it with a Marxist utopia like CHOP.
Reconciled FBI and U.S. Census data tell us that young black men 14-25 are nine times more likely to commit a violent crime on a person than young white men of the same age.
ReplyDeleteUntil that’s addressed, #BlackLivesMatter is hypocritical BS.
You know who isn’t talking about all of the dead bodies, the mayor. He ran on anti crime and going to be under 100. Turned his back on 80 percent of the city and now can’t get out of his own shit show.
ReplyDeleteCops boing blamed for bad decisions of felons and protestors. City council pandering for political reasons. Prosecutor charging for political reasons. This is the exact reason local control is dead. Politicians can be trusted to have a spine. Politics took KCPD from the city and will keep it from the city. Until those same politicians pull their heads out of their asses cops should just answer 911calls.
^^ Truth.
ReplyDeleteAnother death due to centuries of oppression of black people by whites. We have no equality in job opportunities or employment opportunities.
ReplyDeleteWhat you don't have is the desire to get off your ass.
Delete7:36 ^^ Suicide is always counted in FBI murder statistics, as are non whites lumped in with whites. Little tid bit of actual fact for ya'...
ReplyDeleteThe family of one of the recent victims told TV reporters that she wanted to get the guns off the streets.
ReplyDeleteSince the vast majority of homicides in KCMO are both geographically and demographically limited, it sounds like she's a supporter of stop and frisk.
Horrendous violence caused by anti-social and even self-destructive behavior.
Anyone at KCMO city hall with the honesty and guts to call out the real facts?
Not smiley selfies Lucas, that's for sure.
Good thing Kansas City people rarely pay attention to anything other then eating, sleeping, and seeking amusement.
ReplyDeleteFirst on his list was tackling crime. He said he wanted to see Kansas City neighborhoods become safer and that he felt that would require getting smarter police presence out onto the streets.
ReplyDelete“It’s all about how you allocate law enforcement. Police are an important part of the equation for fighting crime,” Lucas said. “To the extent that we can see the presence of officers throughout our neighborhoods, I think that’s going to be key for our long-term crime-fighting efforts.”
Mayor Quentin Lucas is a narcissist.
ReplyDeleteNarcissists only care about themselves and their personal career; they could care less about other people or families in achieving their career ambitions.
Lucas is a single man with no family. His career is everything to him. Lucas does not care one iota why families desire law and order to protect their children as it does not fit into his narcissist career aspirations.
Give Clark Hunt and the NFL another $225 million of taxpayer funds. Then take a knee and grovel.
ReplyDeleteThat will lower crime and go a long way to addressing the social ills of Kansas City.
^^^ Scary facts.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the comments that called out the mayor. The responsibility needs to be shared with city hall, not just targeting police.
Not to worry, all this will be solved when the Star publishes its much anticipated (by them anyway) report on gun violence. The public is on pins and needles wondering how the Star will approach the subject! Betting so far is strongly in favor of the "there are too many guns on the street and we need reasonable gun control laws" solution. Gosh, I hope the Star does not mention the Second Amendment or do a race breakdown of homicidal shooters; that would just confuse things.
ReplyDelete9:01 you left out the fact he is gay as hell.

ReplyDelete^^^^Insecurity is an ugly thing, it makes you hate people you clearly don’t even know.
ReplyDelete^^well everyone who knows stupor dave hates him so....
ReplyDelete89 murders ain’t that big of a deal when you consider how many people deserve it. I understand completely why so many murders happen in the shithole ghetto.
ReplyDeleteI want to know right now, who is responsible for these murders. I demand that you turn yourself in so justice can be served. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe dope Nigga is responsible. And any white fuck buying his shit. Especially those little confused koolaid twinkers. Like you. Star Wars beez movies, not a lifestyle.
