KCTV 5 TACKLES THE LOCAL CRIME PROBLEM

In a year in which KCMO is on pace to shatter homicide records you can count on KCTV 5 to do the in depth coverage that the people of the metro deserve.

Well maybe not..... Instead they are covering the death of a cat in Lawrence. That's right, it isn't even a local cat. The story discusses the anguish that the guys daughter is going through in losing her cat....Who cares about the parents and children of those getting killed in our own backyards.

This is just another example of the local media letting us down. When are we going to stop hearing about dead pets and swinger parties and start getting some real coverage of our dying city?

EVEN THE CRIME IN FLORIDA IS BETTER THAN OURS

The question is, what was this bra less woman doing with her hands in his pockets.......

Nancy Pelosi

Has there been a more incompetent female in Washington D.C than this chick (besides Lewinsky, who at least had a job skill)? Anyways over on Life in SOJOCO he has compiled a list of people that he would rather sex with than her and its shocking. How he left off Barbra Streisand is beyond me.

CHAPPELLE TUESDAY

THE WIRE

What a weird night. All was quiet yesterday in the East Side. It is good to see that my March down Troost to fight crime worked.

1. Knife play hits the peaceful community of Lenexa, Ks and it was a freaking 8th grader in school that did it. Surely this kid was part of some sorta exchange program with KCMO and not a bright young JOCOIAN.

2. With gas prices dropping KCK residents can now go further to dump their dead bodies.

3. 4 year old shoots her self in the head in the East Side. The parent(s) should be up on charges for having a gun in the reach of a 4 year old with a house full of kids.

MY EFFORTS TO FIGHT CRIME IN KCMO

Today at lunch I walked down Troost with a note card saying stop the violence. I hope that my march will be as productive as the one 3 weeks ago on Prospect.

DO WE WANT THEM IN CONTROL OF WALL STREET?

SOMEONE PLEASE BUY THESE IDIOTS A MAGIC 8 BALL. THEIR ODDS OF GETTING SOMETHING RIGHT MIGHT GO UP.

AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE

Our country is in serious trouble both foreignly and domestically and some of you bastards want to hand it over to OBAMA? Nearly a year ago I mentioned on this blog that we could be heading to another World War. In that post I mentioned the economic uncertainty of our country and the military growth of our enemies. As I skim the headlines I can't help but wonder how close we are to the end of our freedoms.

1. Bush & Democrats advance our economy to socialism.

2. Chavez & Putin aim to put nukes in South America (aimed at the United States)

3. Chinese have first space walk.

4. Automakers get bailout? WTF!

5. Government is taking over our economy.

6. Dems find another way to redistribute wealth.

7. Matt Blunt has to fight off Obama's KGB tactics.

8. Seperation of Church and State no longer exist.

9. Personal Carbon monitoring could be coming to the United States. HOLY CRAP BIG BrOTHER!

10. Terrorist on the seas.

With all this going on do we really want to elect a freaking community activist that doesn't even have a track record in that? Good lord people, wake the F*** up!

A LITTLE TIP ON HOW TO SURVIVE IN KCMO

BETTER GET YOURS!

JUST HOW VIOLENT IS THE METRO?

With the help of CrimeSceneKC I have come up with some rough statistics that MIGHT shock some of you. Since the KCMO police department is trying to hide its statistics (cook the books) these aren't exactly scientific facts.

1. Somebody is murdered every other day in the metro.

2. Somebody is shot or stabbed every 7 hours.

3. Nobody seems to give a crap. This statistic came from the fact that the murder rate keeps going up every month.

For a review of just how Violent this city is feel free to follow this link and review what has happened so far.

THE WIRE

I JUST KNEW SUNDAY WOULD BE A BIG DAY. While the rest of you were getting robbed at church the fine East Side Citizens were hard at work.

1. You gotta love it when Drive by shootings start hitting the Burbs (in Mo). Maybe there will be some attention paid to the crime problem the more this happens.

2. "Gun Battle" at 47th and Elmwood. Add elmwood to the streets I wouldn't of know about had there not been a shooting.

3. Having a Cash America store on Truman road is not really a good idea. Here is a tip, if you put a cash store in a neighborhood full of people that have no cash you WILL GET ROBBED.
