THE CRANE KILLS 4

I don't think that Mr. Miyagi knew how truly deadly the crane was....

WEEKEND OVER/UNDER

THE NUMBER THIS WEEKEND IS: 5

I am expecting the Kcmo police department to go into the prevent defense which should allow the gang bangers the opportunity to move up and down the field. Let us just hope the the police department has a decent red zone defense and can hold them to field goals.

TOP TEN KCMO SCHOOLS VS PRISON

Is there a difference between the two?
1. Both are in old run down buildings
2. Both populations are split up amongst race
3. Both have metal detectors at the doors
4. Both are full of people that never graduate from High School.
5. Both are run by corrupt and incompetent people
6. If you get in trouble you go to solitary
7. People are released without rehabilitation/education because of over crowding.
8. Private companies do a better job of running both
9. There is a 50/50 chance of getting shanked in the yard.
10. Both are the last place you want your children to end up

EAST SIDE PRODUCTION UP OVER LAST YEAR

I just read on crimescenekc that KCMO has 13 more murders this year over last year at the All Star Break. Earlier this year when the city came out with its number saying that violent crime was down I told you not to pay any attention to it. Many of you said that I was blowing thing out of proportion and that the city is getting safer. REALLY? Safer? To Who?

The Mayor, Police Board, Police Chief and media have no clue as to what is going on it this city. When was the last time there was a press conference given to address all the shootings in this city? When was the last time you watched a story on the local news that covered the gang problem in this city? Yeah I can't remember it either.

This city hides its head in the sand when it comes to crimes and is reactive instead of proactive.

I want to turn on the news at night and see raids on stash houses, gang roundups, guns coming off the streets. The neighborhoods in which these crimes occur need to be put on notice not left alone.

SHOOTING ODDS FOR TODAY

TODAYS OVER/UNDER: 2

I know that all of the signs point to an active day but don't be fooled. Odds makers everywhere know that Thursdays are traditionally slow shooting days. A lot of gang leaders give their team the day off in order to prepare for the big weekend performance.

QUICK HITS

1. The only thing worst than the "art" in the crossroads district is the pizza.

2. KCK isn't even safe for dogs...

3. This poor bastards last minutes of freedom were spent driving through KCK & KCMO. The prison scenery should be an upgrade.

4. People get killed in KCMO for just about anything including video game systems.

5. Gangbangers are now driving fuel efficient cars to perform their shootings. 54th & Highland.

6. EPA gives rednecks a price break in gas prices.

7. KCMO school teachers get paid what they are worth, finally. I still think that $0 is too much for the results.

WE CAN'T CATCH KILLERS AND ARSONIST BUT

If you steal a Wii in the metro you have no chance. Chances are that gangsters on the East Side are using the Wii for drive by training through Grand Theft Auto. Recent shootings have shown that KC Gang Bangers have bad aim.

Believe it or not this robbery took place in the swanky neighborhood of 30th and Prospect.
