KANSAS CITY 'CREATIVE CLASS' FACT CHECK: ACCLAIMED COMICS WRITER KELLY SUE DeCONNICK FLEES COWTOWN WITH FAMILY TO ESCAPE RAMPANT CRIME!!!
Kelly Sue DeConnick is one of the most successful artists to ever pass through Kansas City but her stay didn't last long because of a crime coming to her front door step.
We hear a lot about the "creative class" flocking to Kansas City because of the toy train which is a myth that's completely unsupported by independent data. However, this testimony about scary Kansas City crime driving very successful people away from this town is far more powerful than political and developer sales pitch rhetoric.

Leaving Kansas City: A Comics Writer Fed Up With Crime
Deets:
"In 2009, in the midst of the recession, crime became a problem in their neighborhood. There was a rash of muggings, their house got broken into, their car got broken into four times. The final straw was a high-speed chase that ended at the tree in their front yard. The car was just inches away from their front steps, and DeConnick found the missing gun in the bushes a few days later while playing with her son.
"At that point, DeConnick and Fraction were writing full-time and had the freedom to move wherever they wanted. DeConnick says she misses the supportive comics community in Kansas City, and she has no ill-will against the city — it just wasn’t the right fit for her family."

"I miss my AA group on the Plaza a lot."
ReplyDeleteCK drove her to drink apparently.
White flight.
ReplyDeleteJim Crow was a necessary and positive thing for blacks and whites.
You can't fix this.
Maybe Mary O'Halloran or Yael will move away from their segregated neighborhoods and snap up the bargain on the house she just left.
ReplyDeleteShe is now, officially, a "racist".

ReplyDeleteNever heard of her.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteThen you're just revealing your ignorance.
So where does she live now? I bet they have crime there too!

ReplyDeleteYep the grass is always greener somewhere else they say.
she was also one of the biggest fucking drama queens to pass through anyplace in the world. her cooch looked like Glazer's kike hairpiece but was open 24/7 I'll say that
ReplyDeleteno niggers out in Portland, pretty nice place. lot of smelly white guys.
Stalderville I call it.
This dimwit thinks she's going to escape crime by moving to Portland?
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Portland doesn't spend a lot of money promoting their Gang-Infested schools, bankrupt public transit budget, and corruption at City Hall.
ReplyDeleteEverything there is groovy!
Portland ia full of homeless people i'll bet they fuck her day and night. her husband's a pussy.
ReplyDeletebut no niggers in Portland. TOO MANY JEWS BUT NO NIGGERS. LOTS OF CHINKS TOO.
If you drive to Kansas City, if you take a plane, if you walk, it’s all the same, you get to Kansas City because that is where you are headed. Sure… something could happen on the way but in the usual course of events, you get to Kansas City or wherever it is you are headed. You got to ask yourself, or let us say, you should ask yourself, “Why am I going to Kansas City?”
ReplyDeleteFace it. The supoosedly high level of crime we have is directly related to our lack of A streetcar. Sly, my man, has our back on this one though. Pretty soon it will be no more crime here.
ReplyDeleteShe must have lived over in Hyde Park or near 39th and Troost.
ReplyDeleteHaving your house and car repeatedly broken into and a car chase that ends only feet from your front door are all parts of the urban experience that you should expect and look forward to when you live in a real city like KCMO. What's important is density, transit options, kale smoothies, and internet sock entrepreneurs and as much of that paid for by taxpayers as possible.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you don't like that, move to Mission Hills with the other suburban rubes.
All aboard!
There are plenty of NIGGERS in Portland. The cancer of NIGGERS has spread there too and grows daily. Leaving KC to get away from the NIGGERS is just plain good sense. Getting rid of NIGGERS is an even better idea.
ReplyDeleteI'd fuck her in the ass. Then cum all over her face and tits.
ReplyDeleteniggers fuck up everything.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that she should have waited for the streetcar. Things would be totally safe for her then.
ReplyDelete"comics writer"
ReplyDeleteI'll that that job pays all of $18,000/year. Big loss.
Yeah I remembered when I moved out of the city I wrote a manifesto and cried like a baby in public about all the nuts in KC. Bitch! Fucking move if you want and shut the fuck up already!
ReplyDeleteGentrification is nothing to die for.
ReplyDeletePedo Bear was my favorite comic anyway.
ReplyDeleteLive. Late breaking. She moved six years ago.
ReplyDeleteGrant Morrison is the King anyway.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Portlander to me. Bye bye.
ReplyDeleteShe had the most beautiful labia,big and puffy,along with a gorgeous, full bush.God I miss her.
ReplyDeleteNaturally, this sort of thing happens mostly in Black led communities. Black Mayor. Black Police Chief. Black this and that. All spells disaster. She's not the only one moving - she won't be the last. Kansas City isn't so great - and certainly not on the scale of other cosmopolitan areas. It doesn't even rank with St. Louis. So, there you go...

ReplyDeleteWe can't all be Pat Klein hanging on the public tit at an obscene, undeserved six figure pay rate.
I am leaving with my family next month after living here most of my life. The area will look like Mississippi in 10 years at the rate it is going.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't been to Mississippi lately.
ReplyDeleteI hear Diamond Head is pretty nice
ReplyDeleteNo ICE in Paradise!!!
ReplyDeleteMany are following the Bear's lead and moving out of Killa City.
