Kansas City Suspect Pleads Guilty To Deadly LGBTQI+ Hate Crime

Deadly crime trending in Kansas City over the past few years isn't just a horrific trend which has impacted the entire metro, worsened our economy, contributed to overall blight and lowered our standard of living . . . It's also hateful. 

Whilst our readers acknowledge that planning the murder of any person for WHATEVER REASON seems horrible and a hateful act deserving of punishment in and of itself.
