TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY AUTHORITIES DOWNPLAY RISK: IS SPRINT CENTER 'SOFT TARGET' AFTER MANCHESTER TERROR ATTACK?!?
As Summer concert season approaches, Kansas City's celebrated downtown concert venue confronts increased threats that local officials would rather not address.
Behind the scenes, TKC newsie friends warns us that local authorities aren't answering questions about increased security for the Sprint Center now that the terrorists are targeting youngsters and teen pop concerts.
Remember that Kansas City cheerleaders brag about the Sprint Center's national reputation as a concert venue leader which purportedly resonates worldwide.
Also, The Sprint Center hosts big crowds gathered outside the arena in a relatively unsecured environment that's easily approachable by people walking downtown in the same kind of setup that preceded the deadly Manchester bombing.
Previously, there has been a couple deadly shootings outside the Sprint Center and a Summer of youth basketball party rioting which demonstrate the location is anything but secure.
And so . . .
OUR KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY ASKS: IS THE WIDE OPEN SPRINT CENTER WALKWAY SAFE FROM TERRORIST ATTACK?!?!
Again, our blog community asks this question specifically because local authorities DO NOT want reporters raising this kind of concern and because the public deserves to know before some of the better local concerts arrive.

You decide . . .
The risk of more terrorism is increasing around the world. Last time I checked, KC was part of the world.
ReplyDeleteIs it cause for alarm? No, preparation is better.
Also, look to Great Britain and how they came together after the attack. Again. They were out in the street in full force and didn't bow down to the terrorists. They set a great example for the rest of the world.
I thought Trump was going to beat Isis?
ReplyDeleteAnd where is that wall?
Because now's the perfect time for snarky bullshit. You're part of the problem.
DeleteManchester isn't that big of a target but if the scumbag terrorists are moving down the list, they still have a long way before hitting the bottom of the barrel in KC.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm pretty sure they're just as scared of Garth fans as the rest of us.
Is there a "ISIS chapter" on the Cleaver II ? Must be the root of the Plaza problems.
ReplyDeletePorches and Dunes have teamed up. We are doomed.......
Actually, there is a very large and growing islamic community in KCMo. Most of them are peaceful and law abiding people but there have been connections between their leadership and some groups that are sympathetic to groups that have ties with mideast militants.

ReplyDeleteYeah, they are really setting a great example in England.
More vigils and vows to "stand together", then they go right back to putting their heads in the sand, avoiding "No Go Zones" where Sharia Law dictates the practice of genital mutilations, honor killings and intimidation of the native citizenry. Pretending that incidents like the "Rotterdam Scandal" are not the norm. Ignoring the polls that tell them that 81% of all Muslims in the Middle East support Sharia Law and 51% of all Muslims everywhere support it. Incarcerating their own citizens in an insane and illogical effort to silence ANY criticism of the very people and culture that is destroying Europe and pushing it towards Civil War. Reelecting politicians like Merkel and Macron who support open borders and the pretense that the assimilation of bronze age, violent, angry fanatics who hate the Occident at the direction of the Koran and the teachers who have poured poison into their minds in radical Madrassas are enlightening those folks who just are not as smart as they are.
Sure, a great job with a few votive candles and some platitudes chased down with a Starbucks like conversation about race maybe.
What a fuckin load of fuckin shit.
This world wide communal psychosis when it comes to Muslims killing Westerners is based, categorically on the fact, that after they are firmly ensconced in your neighborhood, or, any fuckin neighborhood, they vote fuckin Progressive.
In England, in Europe, all over the world and here in America, follow the money. Power, sinecure and money are the motives for brain washing the hoi polloi and increasing the odds when it comes election time, that more Progressives will be elected.
Your daughters are raped, killed and blown to fuckin pieces in the quest for Progressive suzerainty. Our buildings come down in an explosion of smoke and fire so Liberals can maintain their lifestyles. Traditional life in Western countries and the safety of our families comes in a distant second to the Progressive/Liberal "Narrative" that enormous numbers of Muslims will assimilate, when any fuckin one with the brain of an ant, can see that it has not, is not and will NEVER work.
The quid pro quo for the dead, your dead, your neighbors, your friends your families all over the world, is the ascendance of Islam and the nefarious, malicious sick fucks that support this 3rd world sickness.
So light a fuckin candle and put some flowers on the graves of the dead. As long as it makes everyone "feel good" after still another, another, another and another fucking disgraceful dereliction of duty by pernicious, pusillanimous, politically correct politicians who pathetically promote this Muslim pathogen into our nations and then benefit from the torn bodies, the broken families, the wrecked and ruined nations who are forced to succumb to this outrage fueled by the Main Stream Media, who laughs up their sleeves at the flowers, the vigils in an Orwellian joke that is on us.
Total fuckin bullshit.
I would think with 25 million tourists that KC would be a huge target,i mean imagine the fatalities if a suicide bomber highjacked and used the toy train...oh the terror!

ReplyDelete7:20 Are you really that stupid???? What do you think his trip to Saudi Arabia was all about?
As far as the wall goes, the bidding has started.
You stupid liberals gave ISIS sympathizer Obama 8 years to do nothing but feed and supply ISIS, and you want the wall built and ISIS defeated in 4 months????
local authorities DO NOT want reporters raising this kind of concern
ReplyDeleteOoh good thing we've got the king of the idiots on guard for us!
But if they had a hiphop concert or some sort of event that attracts negroes (give away something free) and a bomb went off, that'd be ok.
Yeah let's kill some negroes
DeleteBREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMayor James and Jolie Justus propose emergency ordinance calling for KCMO to grant an exclusive no-bid billion dollar contract to Burned and McManaged for the demolition of Sprint Center/Power and Light Entertainment District to be replaced with a single-domed structure housing "world-class" dining/entertainment/concert venue.
Mayor James, City Manager Schulte, and Council member Justus report it won't cost taxpayers a dime!
The Europeans have bowed down to Brussels while raising their asses to Mecca. They deserve to get it at both ends.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Kansas City Atheist Coalition have the balls...trans or otherwise...to picket some Muslim Activities?
ReplyDeleteOr are the young people at the International House of Prayer and Mike Bickel all they can take on?
9:46 No. Yes.
ReplyDeleteThe KCAC needs new leadership. The Pres is a joker who thinks being a wiseass is profound.
ReplyDeleteThe "International House of Prayer". Now that is some funny shit!
ReplyDeleteStrange plan. Prepare for a disaster AFTER it has happened.
ReplyDeleteIt's "the Religion of Peace". If you don't agree - you're an Islamophobe!
ReplyDeleteJihad Allah taco bar
DeleteOh please! Cut the drama. If the Republicans saw no value in KC or having their convention hear I doubt the terrorist will be stopping by to take a good shit. ...unless they just don't like shitloads of black people.
ReplyDeleteNo terrorist would come near KC. Our airport sucks too badly.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that God forbid after a terrorist attack happens in kc that we can all show the world the grace England showed by not bowing down ,praising Allah but instead holding hands and letting the world know , ya,that sucked,but look at us!!,even our dead look determined to never give up!!" Oh what a feeling it will be!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I was a towelhead Islamic terrorist, I would just tell everyone I was a Mexican, then I could go anywhere in the city, free as a bird.
