Kansas City has feigned concern about homeless deaths in freezing cold over the past 48 hours and this week city hall politicos will offer more verbiage and maybe an ordinance that probably won't change much on local streets.
This Winter there will be far more people handing over cash to watch Patrick Mahomes attempt a Super Bowl repeat rather than giving a few bucks to local hobos . . . To be fair, the Chiefs are far more entertaining and their championship glory distracts us from the fact that most Americans are only about two or three paychecks from being on the street themselves.
And so, these links and just a bit of social media advocacy might help ease our conscience long enough to forget about the KCMO HOMELESS CRISIS that's clearly underway.

DeleteUntil we know more about the bums who died, and how it happened, we can't assign blame. I assume they were adults and not small children. As adults, they had a responsibility to take care of themselves. The city can only offer to help, to the extent that the city can afford to do so. Bums who refuse help or do not seek it out have only themselves to blame.
