he killed one of his own people and took the life of a guy that was investing everything he had into the community.
ReplyDeleteIf he is found guilty, they should give him the chair and finally bring back executions in Kansas.
What a surprise.
ReplyDeleteAnother murderous black thug kills a good white man, what’s the excuse for these people now?
ReplyDeleteHow many murderous White thugs have killed millions of good Black people? Its easy to look at things through a narrow lense. White people kill Nlacks and primarily suffer no consequences and that has been going on for centuries. I guess when you're White and in the majority you can always choose not to see the bigger picture. That doesn't discount that this mans life was snuffed out needlessly by a goon but lets not make this about an entire race of people when it is not.
Delete3:18, you're not in possession of the facts. You're quoting myths.
DeleteBlacks murder blacks on a scale that the dead, rotten KKK could only dream of.
Well, there must be a Confederate statue nearby.
ReplyDeleteI know that Byers and he is a true waste of a human body.
ReplyDeleteHe also killed a black women, you dumbshit racists can't see over your own shortness.
ReplyDelete9:11 Ok, no reason to quibble, let's just hang the puke in a tree tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteYet another productive member of society murdered by the black male animal.
ReplyDelete9:11 ok so what are you more upset about, a racist black murdered a white man or because some black chick got wasted as collateral damage? Answer wisely you effing racist bastard.
ReplyDeleteDumb renecks need to get a grip. Looks like the family regrets both killings but you horrible people only care about whites. Shame on you you, glad so many are better than you.
ReplyDeleteYou people are better off just staying on your home computers, never go out into public.
9:56, you should probably get a grip too. I know some rednecks who are very accepting and some academia who are racist to the core.
ReplyDelete^^^ Truth.
ReplyDeleteGuy is a killer. If he's convicted. Give him the chair!
Kansas City 7th in Crime.
ReplyDelete@3:18am
ReplyDeleteIn 2017 there were 150 homicides in KCMO.
88% of the victims were black.
It's not possible to calculate the percentage of perpetrators because only around 50% of the murders in the city are ever solved.
But it's not hard to guess.
It may make you feel better talking about what has gone on "for centuries", but the sad facts of TODAY right here in KC are there for all to see.
It would be helpful to focus on the actual problem, but first you have to be honest enough to identify it.
Same as the guy that killed the two officers while being transferred. The county should take control, tell the state to screw off and hang these two idiots in downtown KCK.
