Just as our blog community predicted, the quotient of killing continues to escalate as pandemic worsens, economic disparity increases and civil unrest over the election looms.
Tragic note to consider for our overnight readers . . .
KANSAS CITY NOW STANDS ONLY FOUR MURDERS AWAY FROM BREAKING THE ALL-TIME LOCAL HOMICIDE RECORD!!!
Drugs & gangs powered the 1993 slaughter milestone of 153 annual killings and now coronavirus, drugs, gangs, domestic violence and growing desperation seems to fuel this latest spate of killing.
Deets:
"Gunfire killed a man Thursday night at an east Kansas City, Missouri, apartment complex, marking the 150th homicide of the year. Residents of the Stonegate Meadows Apartments reported gunshots about 8 p.m. and saw a man they didn't recognize run from a parking lot into the apartment building, a police spokesperson said."

Yep, saw this last night and was sad that we'll probably break the record in October. Bad news for KC, bad news for the entire metro area really.
ReplyDeleteDon't see things getting better any time soon.
But I thought the violence was going to stop when we elected Trump?
Delete^^^
DeleteActually, you forgot to mention that Mayor Lucas claimed he was going to get the murders under 100. What about that promise.
KC = Detroit.
ReplyDeleteI aid it was going the way of Detroit six months ago and that got poo pooed.. Not my problem. Make sure your insurance is paid up. When Trump wins shit will burn like California forests.
ReplyDelete^^^
ReplyDeleteTruth, good comment!
I'd really like to see the problems in Kansas Shitty solved but, frankly, it's just not worth it anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe're probably going to get about 170 murders. Damn shame, because next year might be even worse.
ReplyDeletethe cleave holds the current murder record at 153.
ReplyDeleteBow tie the clown sLIE comes in at number 2 with 151.
Mayor mcloser is currently number 3 with 150, at this rate he’ll hold the unbeatable record of at least 170.
Black mayors equal big time deaths, why is that? It’s like they encourage murder.
At least KC is good at something.
ReplyDeleteI am out of here November 1. Can't take it anymore. Used to love the town but can't do it any longer.
ReplyDeleteWill the mayor come up with another bunch of focus groups and consult with blm/antifa, spend a couple million dollars with still no answers other than the it’s police and whiteys fault?
ReplyDeleteOur house went on the market last week. This has gotten ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteSame here, 12:59.. We actually aren’t scheduled until Jan 1, but we’re starting the pack and purge now. It’s a bittersweet thing after being here for three generations but the KC I’ve always loved just doesn’t exist anymore.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Stacy can protest KC and get the numbers down.
ReplyDeleteHope she stays in her tent another year.
ReplyDelete@ 2:13 You are an idiot learn about states rights MORON. This is not the president's job nor is it his fault. This is Quinton Lucas job and if he is not going to do anything then we the people need to take our city back. We all know who the problem is.
We need to get at least 200 murders to be relevant nationally. Otherwise, we’re just Flint MI not Detroit.
