Apparently due to my coverage of metro crime people are wanting a prediction out of me on the end of the year murder count. While I find betting on the loss of lives of Metro residents to be a bit cold hearted I do see the merits in putting up such a prediction. If people WERE to start predicting a death count MAYBE THAT WILL FINALLY WAKE UP THE POWER THAT BE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.
If we as bloggers start putting up our Death Pool, maybe the freaking media will stop focusing on Yule logs and start doing SERIOUS in depth reporting on what the hell is going on. You can bet your ass that if JOCO were to be approaching a murder record the media would be all over it..... Instead they do crime scene reports and move on. It's almost as if they have a system in place. Does the media believe that 1 murdered JOCOIAN is equal to 20 dead KCMO residents? Their coverage would certainly lead one to believe so.
With the snow season approaching you can be guaranteed less coverage of crime in the metro. Instead they rather scare the crap out of people with false snow predictions. I can't believe that more of you aren't pissed off about this. I don't even live in that part of town and I am more pissed than most of the residents.
Anyways in an effort to end the emails I will not be giving out a death count.
