Kansas City crime spurs Stop the Violence rally
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dozens of people gathered Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri, for a rally aimed at combating crime in the Kansas City metro. "We plan to do this once a month until this thing grows as big as possible," said Sheoni Givens, president of the Justice and Dignity Center.
It won't work without candles, balloons and tee shirts.
ReplyDeleteNothing like yet another vigil or rally with uninformed speakers spewing the same old tired mantras.

Anything else is just grandstanding and empty rhetoric.
VIGIL FATIGUE!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhh gentlemen,
ReplyDeleteyou know why we are here.
We've not much time,
and quite a problem here
ReplyDeleteVigils don't work. Law and Order does, which you will never see from your racist mayor and racist congress man. You know the AMORON who is the laughing stock worldwide.
This feel good organization is no different than the others.
ReplyDeleteNotice two people are listening and the rest of them are eating all the food they can get!

Maybe pickleball could save the eastside.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that could really unite the hood.
How many blacks were killed in this country today by other blacks? What does BLM have to say about it......crickets. Stupid grifters just like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Until BLM utters one word on the epidemic of black crime they are hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteWow, no Fat Stacy Shaw, or the gay dude and his wife that protest downtown every FRIDAY. HUMMMMMMM
