An exceptionally minor Kansas City progressive win targeted traffic enforcement with allegations of systemic racism.
Sadly, the argument could have been about saving lives or saving cops time on pointless practices . . . But local leaders slammed po-po in order to feign progress by way of mostly pointless legislation.
The mainstream argument and constant protestations of racism . . .
"In the past three years, Kansas City police issued more than 100 tickets for jaywalking. And far more citations went to men than women, and far more to Black people than whites."
Reality check . . . Jaywalking is constant in Kansas City and it does, in fact, cause some pretty horrible wrecks and injuries.
However . . .
Tonight we learn from Mayor & council that rules of the road are racist. And this petty, divisive and somewhat irresponsible argument makes EVERYONE just a little less safe on local streets.
Friendly advice . . . Your grandma was still and will always be correct when she taught you to wait for the light and look both ways when crossing the street. Amid uncertain times, sometimes it's important to find confidence in the smallest life lessons.

Pitch: Jaywalking has been erased from KC—the place where the term was born
KCUR: Kansas City Is Dumping Jaywalking Tickets Because They Mostly Go To Men And African Americans

Let us hope that most of them get run over by drunk black people or the black shooters who see an easy out by murdering someone by SUV instead of gunfire. Win for everyone.
ReplyDelete^^^SEE THIS IS THE INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE WITHOUT LIBERALS TELLING US HOW AEFUL WE ARE THANK YOU TKC FOR ALLOWING US TO BE US

MURDER
Black is synonymous with criminal. Their kind will always look for ways to skirt the law. Quinton Lucas is a prime example of a black thug who hates the police and hates the rule of law.
ReplyDelete^^^And you've never jaywalked? That makes you a candidate for sainthood!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they left out the part about it being antifa and blm insurrectionists doing this during the riots, there is a law that they have to stay on the sidewalks during protests and these idiots were in the streets blocking traffic and hitting peoples cars so this smells of lickass kissing antifa and blms asses for the next insurrection bullshit they pull.
ReplyDeleteAt least one of us sees what this is really about and it ain’t racism..... as usual.
This is another stupid despicable dimwit maneuver to give these insurrectionists more power over the police and the citizens of killa shitty.
^^^LMAO. That you, Lucas?? No one else could be this fucking petty. Who the fuck decriminilizes shit because it "affects black people?" You're a fucking moronic incompetent who should have been recalled a long time ago. A small, petty narcissist without a genuine or sincere bone in your entire tranny body. The only things holding you up are your gigantic ego and 4 tons of synthetic testosterone to try to make you look "manly." You're a pathetic creep. A loser. Give it up, "dude."
ReplyDeleteMore like blm and antifa blackmailed the boy blunder for something he’s trying to keep quite. They got somethings on his ass, it’s apparent.
ReplyDeleteNext it will be the police can’t arrest looters and arsonists during riots.
8:01 good comment. The cynicism behind this move was lost even on me. You nailed it.
ReplyDeleteSince the Communist Democrat Party is in the mode of eliminating law and order, would the Communist Democrats please pass a law making it illegal to collect earnings taxes, property taxes and income taxes.
ReplyDeleteSince everyone can now just pretty much do whatever they want; why should we pay taxes for non-existenent civilization and services in the Communist Democrat controlled cities.
Thank you comrades !!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, why are we paying taxes for a government that does absolutely nothing for 95% of the people who want paved streets, drinkable water, and law & order.
Time to make smashing the face of the mayor in legal. I'm ready and waiting.
ReplyDeleteLIBERALS AND BLACKS ALWAYS MAKE ME MAD I WANT MY OATMEAL
ReplyDelete8:13pm your days are numbered, CHIMP. I know your IP address.
ReplyDeleteKansas City is so freaking dumb. Glad to live in the suburbs.
ReplyDeleteApparently the KCMO city government and the Star are in a desperate struggle to see which one of them to address and focus on the most peripheral ridiculous issue.
ReplyDeleteStreets continue to be crap.
Murder rate even ahead of last year's record pace.
Budget busted and money pouring out the door for such "priorities" as housing the homeless in hotels.
And the legislation being passed is for J-walking?
Hahahahaha!!
^^^ you’re one sick retard you know that right?
ReplyDelete8:39 try me, shithead.
ReplyDelete^^^You'll find out soon enough, you fucking piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteYou are a pretty sad excuse for a human being if you can't even walk without help from the government.
ReplyDeletewhat? you want to tell us you care about racism? you feed your racist commenters and let them post their ugly, racist, hating, threatening responses here.
ReplyDeletewho are you kidding?
Chimpy's head is exploding.
ReplyDeleteMurder charges disproportionately effects blacks. Lets legalize it.
ReplyDelete^^and yet he’s calling out geriatric fucktard liars like you and crushing their skulls for all of us to enjoy. Go CHIMPY. Weird.
ReplyDeleteIf we want any lip off you Chimpy we will have Quinton pull his dick out of your mouth.
ReplyDelete^^Lame like your pecker paw-paw do better. CHIMPY rocks!
ReplyDeleteIt only takes a microsecond to pull Quinton's dick out of a gay boy's mouth, because his dick was fashioned out of his forearm skin. Ain't that right, Quinty?
ReplyDeleteChimp is triggered, but soon to be extinguished.
ReplyDelete@9:25-and yet he runs shit here and you don’t. He can stay. You go. Weird.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing Chimpy runs here is his mouth. It's a Hershey Highway of word salad.
ReplyDeleteWho pulled Chimpy's string tonight?
ReplyDelete^and yet you respond to him right on cue. You’re fully owned. Weird.
ReplyDeleteLiterally everyone here knows who Chimpy is, yet Tony refuses to do shit about banning the fucking mindless spammers. Fuck you, Tony.
ReplyDelete^^Then who is he? I would like to buy him a drink. He’s the best thing on this horrid little blog and Tony knows who drives traffic. It’s him and not you so...
ReplyDeleteYou chuckleheads respond to CHIMPY 24/7. It’s not the other way around. Tony knows who butters his bread and surprise surprise losers, it ain’t you!
ReplyDelete9:31: OK. 9:25's bluffing. Let it go and get back to being funny. I've had the best laughs in years from the faux all caps guy. Let's keep it light!
ReplyDelete^^ Most of these posts are the same person acting like the same dipwad.
ReplyDelete9:31 as a white person i like to post my wisdom on The Root.
ReplyDeleteI knew a black guy who got 6 J Walking tickets in sequential order and the Judge threw it out. Most prisoners have some sort of autism.
ReplyDeleteChipytard knows he has to protect and defend master lickass or else. Chimpytard and lickass are owned by blm and antifa so do as your masters tell you, change all the laws for these insurrectionists or the truth will come out, now do your monkeyshines or else! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDelete11:06 it’s not autism, autism suggests some sort of intelligence on their part, those people are retarded, uneducated and just plain oblivious to the real world. Everything has to be handed to them or they would starve to death. Chimpytard is one of those, he’d die if a white person didn’t give him everything.... just how the kkk dimwits planned it.
ReplyDeleteI guess chimpy has brain damage from all the ass kickings he’s taken over the last few months, there is no fixing it so.....
ReplyDeleteDude, who hasn't seen a black guy slow walking across Independence in the middle of rush hour?
ReplyDelete7:59 ^^^ Difference probably being is that Darks never use a proper crosswalk, often getting killed or causing a wreck and many times playing the "I can stop you " game. Many translating to a lot and Not once in awhile. I can't count on my thumb the times I've personally witnesses a Dark person use a proper crosswalk. Be it here, LA , Baltimore, Dc, Detroit, Atlanta or rural America. So, is Fact a Racist problem or a problem with a culture that is based on not following simple rules.. Notice I didn't say White rules. Probably a reason they open their KOOLS from the bottom.
ReplyDelete.Then car jacking should be legal.
ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time in the urban core. I can tell you it is not WHITE FOLKS that just step out in front of you and stand in the middle of the street. Hell, even dogs learn to look before they leap. Just because it's blacks committing the offense, doesn't make the law racist. Our city leadership are morons.
ReplyDeleteLucas is getting eaten alive on his FB page after grandstanding like he did the world a great service. Stupid, racist pos. People are finally waking up to what a worthless incompetent he is.
ReplyDeleteA hundred tickets in three years. Wow. I assume riots are being scheduled.
ReplyDeleteUsing the same reasoning as the Mayor and Council, every crime involving violence or threat thereof should be taken off the books because blacks commit more than their share.
ReplyDelete...and nothing about the 15-20 pedestrians who die every year in this city because they walked out in traffic.
ReplyDelete9:19: Only by right-wing nutjobs. Normal people have lives.
ReplyDelete"Normal people have lives." Don't kid yourself that you are anywhere close to being a "normal" person or that you have anything that closely approximates a life, chimpy.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there will be nonstop stories about people being killed walking illegally across the road.
ReplyDeleteNot that I care about jaywalking pro or con, LOL some ya’all suddenly discovered the merit in the jaywalking ordinance and defend it t the death now
ReplyDeleteBut it is silly posturing
The bike walk advocacy group is mistaken in this initiative
Aligning against the police is a bad advocacy position for a group holding themselves out as bike / walk advocates
Dangerous drivers breaking traffic laws are a threat to pedestrians and especially bikers
Sorry but some motorists will drive aggressively endanger our streets and abuse the driving privilege if they believe the cops won’t bother to. Enforce traffic laws. I believe we are entering that phase already
12:15pm I'm sorry. I can't take anyone seriously who says "ya'all" and uses his first sentence to position himself above everyone else. Only a petty jerk pulls that kind of shit and only idiots say "ya'all."
ReplyDeleteSo, Chimpy "butters Tony's bread??" Are you kidding me, Tony?
ReplyDeleteWithout Chimpy you're a nobody. Even with Chimpy you're a nobody.
ReplyDeleteridiculoua !!!!!!! meanwhile gillham is now a complete cluster fu..k and councilman Bunch will NOT get reelected!
