So much Kansas City investment was supposed to draw the middle-class back Downtown. Sadly, that plan has seemingly worked out ass-backwards:
"A 21-year-old man was shot in the buttocks early Monday after leaving a downtown club that has drawn police and city attention for alleged problems with crowds and violence."
Your ass joke was better than mine because I'm not really an expert on the subject. Then again, I'm guessing that a bullet wound to the buttock is just like so much local debt to support the Downtown Club Scene: It stinks.
Scumbag thugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shock.
That is the former Club NV which is about 8-9 blocks from the Power & Light District and has been a problem for ten plus years. Nice try to scare the suburbanites away from Downtown...I have to admit I know no one who is out at 2:15 a.m. on a Sunday night/Monday morning.

ReplyDeleteWell if our Department of Regulated Industries actually policed the people that it licenses we wouldn't have all this trouble.
ReplyDeleteI live a block away and I can assure you that the police made more noise at closing than the patrons did by driving through the area using their sirens to move traffic.
ReplyDeleteSecond, knowing that the club lets out at 2:25, it would seem to me that KCPD would want to be in the area to prevent violence but they are not. They only respond into the area after receiving calls.
Third, I saw two KCPD cars in the area at the time of the shooting. I heard the shots and saw the cars fleeing, but KCPD just sat there like nothing was happening until it was to late and the car was gone.
KCPD purposely witheld cars over the summer so violence at the club would escalate to the point they could shut it down. Its a pattern they do with all african-american clubs.
stop shooting at each other and the problem is solved.
ReplyDelete9:52, fashion a nice tin foil hat did you? Maybe the police will issue you a personal apology for using their sirens when responding to a shooting.
ReplyDeleteYou first whine and cry about the lack of police, then you whine and cry when they use sirens after the shooting. I suppose the ambulance and fire trucks responding were a bit of a bother for you too. Perhaps next time they can call ahead and get your permission to come.
Make Regulated Industries do their job. Wake up Gary Majors, don't just kick out the owner and let the place start back up again. SHUT IT DOWN FOR GOOD.
ReplyDeleteseems that there always has to be a body count before "closing it down" happens, to bad.
ReplyDeleteHe probably needed shooting in the ass.
ReplyDelete3:12, the victim was driven to the hospital and police contacted him there later. the shooting happened in plain view of the cops who had responded to the fight. The car fled the scene and the cops just sat there. The complaint about the sirens was on previous Sundays when lazy KCPD who didnt want to get out of their cars to direct traffic, would drive around the area using the sirens and air horn to get cars moving. Doing this for 30 minutes is very annoying when the same lazy officers could just block a street with their cars and signal traffic by hand through traffic lights.
ReplyDelete@3:12, you must be a stupid KCPD officer or a groupie.
@3:50 shutting it down just moves the problem to another club. If you know anything about clubs, the problems often come from people hanging around outside until closing time. If KCPD would patrol the area, maybe less people would just be sitting around.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cops didn't react because they didn't want to alienate the shooter community. If the shooters don't feel comfortable with the police, they won't come forward to help solve serious crimes.
ReplyDeleteThis may well be an unofficial sanctuary city for shooters.
Is shooting people a state law or a city law? If it's a state law, the city police should stand aside and let the state authorities handle it.
ReplyDeleteLike with immigration laws. It's none of the city's business.
