TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY MAINSTREAM MEDIA SHY AWAY FROM SHAWNEE 'SHE'S A PISTOL' DEADLY GUN SHOP ROBBERY MUGSHOTS!!!

I guess today is journalism review day for Kansas City and our blog community is calling out a strange trend among local news organizations . . .

KANSAS CITY MSM HAVE DOWNPLAYED THE MUGSHOTS IN THE DEADLY SHAWNEE 'SHE'S A PISTOL' GUN SHOP ROBBERY!!!

We noted this trend at the outset of the case and still can't seem to understand the strange effort to suppress public information.

Seriously, mugshots are part of public websites, protected journalistic fodder and found all over the net noting allegations against suspects pending their trial.

C'mon . . . The iconic Nick Nolte mughshot was the first bit of public info to nearly break the Internets.



Strangely, in a far more tragic case without a fashionable Hawaiian shirt . . . Mugshots connected to a deadly shootout in Shawnee were seemingly pushed out of the news-cycle rather quickly.

For our TKC Blog Community . . . It's no big deal, from baby stomping charges in other cases to this alleged deadly robbery-- Posting mugshots is part of keeping the public informed.

Sadly, the latest development in this case has the media reporting without providing a visual for their own reasons . . . Whatever they may be . . .

Anyhoo, here's the update . . .

From left to right in the photo at the top of this post: Hakeem Malik, 18, Nicquan Midgyett, 19, and Londro Patterson III, 20, are charged with first-degree felony murder in shooting death of Jon Bieker during an alleged attempted robbery of the Shawnee, Ks. "She's A Pistol" gun shop.

Mr. Patterson's mugshot recently became available after he was released from the hospital for injuries sustained during a gunfight that authorities allege was part of a robbery attempt.

Deanthony Wiley, 19, remains hospitalized and is the 4th suspect in this alleged crime.
