Since the crisis over JJ's inferno accountability has started THE TKC BLOG COMMUNITY has been attempting to decipher the doublespeak of politicos and public officials while Mayor Sly James seems much more concerned with his fashion choices.
The following titbit simply confirms what a great many Kansas City Insiders commenting on this blog have been saying since Wednesday.
Kansas City’s emergency response plan says public safety officials — not workers for private companies — should decide if threats such as gas leaks warrant evacuations.
Way before this . . .
A Friday report by KSHB's Ryan Kath reviewed local emergency response procedures and "They all make it very clear that buildings should be evacuated when there is a smell of gas. They also don't give any impression about deferring to utility companies. They might rely on them for locating gas mains and shutoff valves, but not making the call to evacuate."
And so . . .
KANSAS CITY MAYOR SLY'S PRESS CONFERENCE BRAVADO AND ATTEMPT TO AVOID PLAYING "THE BLAME GAME" HAS NOW BEEN ANSWERED WITH THE CITY'S POLICY!!!
And again . . . You d-bags have been telling us this since Wednesday along with fun facts about devices used to detect gas levels in the air and other obscure facts regarding insider details on the hot mess.
The only thing somebody got wrong was an angry Fire dude claiming that TKC tried to apply to the FD . . . That one is easy to mythbust because I've never been that ambitious or wanted to hang around a bunch of dudes.
Anyhoo . . .
We're about to watch something fun . . .
WILL MAYOR SLY STAY CLOSE TO THE KCFD AS MEDIA CALLS THEIR ACTIONS INTO QUESTION OR WILL HE THROW AWAY HIS FIRE GEAR AND BACK OFF THE PRESS CONFERENCES THAT HE WAS PROUD TO LEAD A FEW DAYS AGO!!!
Whatever the case . . . In order to save TKC Readers we'd just like to note that it's important to remember to run from the smell of gas and not rely on the decision making skills of other people . . . Also, I'm gonna start farting in pubic more often just to keep everybody safe and cognizant of Kansas City old and busted infrastructure and emergency response FAIL.
DEVELOPING . . .
