GEARHEADS ARGUE: DEADLY WESTSIDE SHOOTING & SIMILAR SIDESHOW VIOLENCE COULD BE PREVENTED BY ORGANIZED KANSAS CITY STREET RACING VENUE!!!
There's an auto-enthusiast angle to a recent deadly spate of "sideshow" gunfire that most of the local media are missing.
To wit . . .
MOTORHEADS CLAIM KANSAS CITY NEEDS AN ORGANIZED AND SAFE STREET RACING AND 'DRIFTING' VENUE TO CURB RECENT VIOLENCE AT SIDESHOW EVENTS!!!
To be fair, after the mass shooting at Swope Park, East side leaders made the same argument. This time around we're hearing local auto club denizens lament the bygone days of Kansas City International Raceway (KCIR) as they claim a local racetrack could help alleviate more dangerous events.
Check the mayor's social media comments and a bevy of online response for confirmation of this trending criticism and proposal for a solution. There's a growing and grassroots movement not to crackdown on these events but to ORGANIZE urban auto enthusiasts into some place safer for their pastime.

Doubtful, seems like Kansas City has had these kinds of shootings even when KCIR was around.
ReplyDelete^^^^
DeleteStill not as many as this year.
Shooting could have been prevented by deporting Mexicans
ReplyDeleteToo bad that idiot sLIE tore down the race track on Noland road, his scheme was to turn it into a big park, turns out it was favor for one of the keepers because they didn’t like the noise. They moved shortly after and nothing happened with the park.
ReplyDeleteThat was always a great place for people to run their cars and it was cheap too. The failures just keep adding up for our former and current dimwit mayors.
Didn't that deal get started under Barnes? Was a big payout for her friends who sold off after the track got scuttled.
DeleteYeah 9:50 nothing ever happened with the park except IT'S A FUCKING PARK NOW.
DeleteGoddamn, you people are really stupid.
It's a crappy park. Just some mowed grass and a sign that says its a park.
Delete^^^ one of the kempers, stupid spell check
ReplyDeleteSo someone gets shot and killed and the homicide is rationalized by saying there is not a place to drag race?
ReplyDeleteBetter solution might be just don't shoot people. I know it sounds complicated.
Yeah, no. The last thing we need is "organized racing." How about we fix some bridges, water system, and a hundred other things ahead of organized racing? Like, let's fix all of this street graffiti. I ran over some abortion on the street in Briarcliff. it was so bad I had to get out and take a dump on it.
ReplyDelete^^^
ReplyDeleteI don't disagree with you.
But look at the crowds.
They're not saying we need the taxpayers to pay for it. Just that Kansas City obviously has a lot of people who like cars and drifting. There's an audience for it.
Instead of expecting police to solve all of our problems, maybe it's time to look for some entrepreneurs to do something besides send tech jobs overseas.
I think calling ICE would a simple and effective solution.
ReplyDeleteFun times for all. Too bad about the shooting. The tacos were great.
ReplyDeleteThey should meet up by the BLM street mural in Briarcliff. When they are done burning rubber on it, they can all defecate on it like I did, which improved the artwork immensely.
ReplyDeleteCirco finally sold if off traitor that she was.
ReplyDeleteBlm street mural race track!
ReplyDeleteKansas City forced the owner of KCIR to sell by threatening to condemn his facility. The city spent a lot of money to buy him out and now they are moaning about not having a racing venue in town? They should have thought about that before they wasted all of that money.
ReplyDeleteSome of those driving video games can be pretty fun. Maybe if everyone plays those, no one will be murdered.
ReplyDelete^^^^
ReplyDeleteAnother short sighted development move from City Hall.
The street racers obviously want somewhere to hang and there's an audience for it.
I guess we could build 24 more coffee shops but having a business come in here and cater to the demand would be much better. If we really had people who cared about this city, they would be working on creating something more viable than just these stupid and dangerous shows.
When they say "more free stuff" that's really not a solution. Can't blame'em and I appreciate their hustle when you consider the pittance that other big companies pay in taxes.
ReplyDeleteIf you build it, better budget in A LOT of security.
ReplyDelete@9:59pm is right.
ReplyDeleteEvery time someone is shot to death, the "solution" is for the taxpayers in KCMO to pony up and offer some free entertainment or amusement.
Pizza parties, picnics, sports facilities, community centers, new "nonprofits", transportation, or now, a place to spin cars.
But the shootings go on and on.
How about some focus on the values and behaviors of the people doing the killing?
A little common sense and personal responsibility would go a long way.
KILLA CITY WAS A RIOT AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY ABOUT A WEEK AGO NOW WERE FUNDING CAR RACES
ReplyDeleteIf we had a place for young people to drive fast they wouldn't be out on the streets late at night with bad elements.
ReplyDeleteIf we had a city gun range people could rent guns without stealing them and practice to be an accurate shot. Less innocents would be killed.
We are losing our younger generation to crime and murder and need to think outside the box of what we think works because it isn't working.
Kansas Shitty was warned that street racing would become a problem after Christine Kemper led her crusade to shut KCIR down after she built her mansion north of the track and then started bitching about the noise. You got what you wanted Kansas Shitty. Deal with it. No sympathy from me.
ReplyDelete^^and yet here you are flapping your gums about it. Weird.
ReplyDelete^^and yet here you are flapping your gums about it, too. Unweird.
ReplyDeleteLosers and suckers are like that 8:18. So easily triggered.
ReplyDelete^^and yet they seem to own you as you always have them on your mind. Dance for us some more Bandit. You're the blog's bitch!
ReplyDeleteWard Parkway is there for the taking.
ReplyDelete10:25 this was a rush deal while sLIE was in office, Cindy Circe was also invovled
ReplyDelete10:50 it’s not a park that was proposed, they slapped some asphalt paths and call it dog trails. It was supposed to be a full fledged park for the kids because the real east side doesn’t have a city park. God damn you’re stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a Kansas Shitty park until there is a massive shoot out there.
ReplyDeleteMLM
ReplyDeleteWARD PRKWAY WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO RACE BUT CHARGE THOSE RICH LIBERAL BIDEN CUNTS OUT THERE THOUGH
ReplyDeleteWhy are people celebrating Mexican Independence day in the USA? When I lived in Ireland, Germany, France there were no 4th of July celebrations. We didnt put american flag tags on our cars.
ReplyDeleteIf Mexico means so much to you, and you have a Mexican flag tag, go back! Go back and live in Mexico! But truthfully your here in the USA because Mexico is a cartel and political dump, murder capital of the world and filled with squalor. But this is not Mexico. Stop trying to claim it is. Stop trying to make it Mexico. Mexico is thousands of miles away. Please move back if Mexico means that much to you. Thank you.
That is a stupid thing to say. So people should return to England to celebrate Xmas, and to France for Mardi Gras and Germany for Octoberfest?
ReplyDeleteAmerica is a melting pot.
How many of them do you think have Car Insurance?
ReplyDelete....If you want to race...just come over to Merriam...Sh.Msn.Pkwy.& I-35!.....Hell..bring the whole family....Merr.cops don't care!!! might be a few on those Kaw-Yam-Suz bikes doing 115mph.....it's a fun way to see JoCo taxes at work......might pick up some snacks on the Pkwy too...watch from
ReplyDeletethe Merr.Police Dept. parking lot, it's right next to I-35 ...plenty of good viewing spots
at 87th St. overpass....then on to 95th St. for the loop back to the Pkwy......
Going to be GREAT tonight....have a few beers!
Cheers!
If you dislike Mexico enough to leave and travel all the way to Kansas City Missouri to live - then why the heck are you celebrating Mexican Independence day? Your a ex-pat. Your not a Mexican citizen anymore. You pay taxes to the USA, not Mexico. Your under USA law. Not Mexico's. You may never even travel back to Mexico you whole life.
ReplyDeleteMexico would have better off had they NOT BECOME INDEPENDENT! Mexico would be much more advanced today in every way!
Actually had Spain stayed as the ruling government in charge, the country would not be in dire poverty with drug wars and hundreds of young women going missing each year, and then turning up dead in the desert. Just as the African countries would have been better off under the rule of Great Britain. Australia was a deserted pit, then Great Britain sunk a little money into it and its the most stable country in the world. It pays to have a large wealthy benefactor - and Spain was the biggest in the day! Mexicans got screwed when they got their own corrupt government. Mexicans should weep on "independence day".

ReplyDeleteIf you are here ILLEGALLY you aren't a citizen and your opinion doesn't mean shit.
ReplyDeleteMexican Independence Day? Really? In Mexico there is no independence. Criticize the government, you disappear. Criticize the cartel they will hang you over a bring overpass. Try to report a crime to police, they do nothing. Get pulled over for no reason by police - pay money bribe to the police so you can leave. Go to a hospital - you must pay in cash before services are rendered, even bring a blood donor if you are having surgery. Discriminated on the job, laws allow it! Want to cross into the USA - you don't have the freedom to do that, Mexicans keep you in/Americans keep you out. Its illegal to possess 1 single bullet in Mexico - even if you dont own a gun - its a prison sentence for you. Want to buy a new car - it will be stolen the first week and insurance will refuse to pay. Its more like hide out in Mexico and dont go anywhere cause everyone is out to rob, detain, or kill. How can anyone celebrate "Mexican Independence Day" The average Russian has more freedom and $$$$
ReplyDeleteI saw her facebook page. 2 months ago she posted how people were being killed/shot in her area, asking that God protect her and her family. She was very cute. Wish she should have stayed home. Looks like she also lost a sister a few years ago. Very sad.
