    Quick trial. If guilty, death by firing squad.

  5. Where's the big front page story in the KC Red Star about the arrest of the alleged killer because of the great teamwork between the Feds and KCPD and the huge success of Operation Legend?

  6. how often does a cell phone ping? though it's been years i have traversed the route from n.arkansas thru jonesboro to the west side of memphis. with ample fuel in the tank there's to reason to stop in memphis. hwy 555 then hwy 55 south easily by passing memphis.

  7. @8:03 as well as providing additional greenspace (what we apparently needed when Barnes and her cronies stole KCIR). Visit crater park and our new lake. Win-win

    1. What are you talking about? To imply that blacks are anything but victims of colonialism and racist statues is heresy! Report to the re-education camp for diversity education.

  9. PLEASE notice that with the information now made public, this child homicide could have been solved within a couple of days if not sooner.

    The child's family (certainly the father) knew who was targeting them for revenge because he had participated in the previous confrontation with Ellis (the shooter). Lots of people were in the loop about the infighting between the 2 families.

    Yet, the case dragged on and on, and the federal government had to get involved before the case was solved. Pathetic.

    1. And the local Democrats cried out against the federal help, lied about it, covered up for the way the Feds came in as if asking for help was wrong...

      Democrats profit from minorities being killed.

    a few

    some

    many

    very many

    black folks who realize this BLM bullshit and victim-hood has set back civil rights & racial equality efforts at least 10 years, maybe 20, perhaps even bringing civil war within the realm of the possible?

    1. Fabian Socialists know how unpalatable starvation and a police state are. So communism won't be chosen. And even if people did want it, the Republic stands against pure democracy (rule by the mob)

      So they're trying to instigate a civil war to bring in their utopia.

      Read up on the Fabians.
