With no pride of authorship . . . Back in June our blog community noticed Mayor Q flip-flopping on law enforcement issues and we wrote the following:
"It's time for Mayor Quinton Lucas to pick a side."
Better than that . . . Out TKC blog community doubted that kneeling with protesters would win the Mayor favor for very long if he didn't ultimately meet their demands.
Accordingly . . .
This passage from a recent note put the young Mayor in the hot seat . . .
"How long will you lie to us, Mayor Quinton Lucas? You feigned ignorance when we first learned of Operation Legend, but the receipts show you INVITED them. Our lives are at stake.
"You admitted you "should have been more circumspect" of the federal occupation. If so, why have you still not denounced it? You're prioritizing the defense of your lie over the safety of the community.
"You insist that you have no control over the situation—this is a manipulative LIE. We asked you to fund our lives, you welcomed more police into our Black neighborhoods. It’s now your responsibility to end this state violence. Lives in multiple cities hang in the balance. Will you continue to stand with Trump’s federal occupation, or will you stand with the people? With this letter the people have spoken—PICK A SIDE."
It goes on from there but, as we noted previously, this is one of the most militant and vehement ultimatums we've seen confronting City Hall in more than 20 years.
Given that this predicament might require more than a social media skill . . .
KNEELING TO PROTESTERS IS NO LONGER GOOD ENOUGH!!! GIVEN THE LATEST ACTIVIST DEMANDS: HOW SHOULD MAYOR QUINTON LUCAS RESPOND?!?!
You decide . . .
Maybe think about going back to law school?
ReplyDelete^^^ LULZ.
DeleteIt'll never be enough. Handing over the key to the city wouldn't just inspire more yelling. This isn't about policy, it's about power. The Mayor didn't stand up to the mob. He did worse than blink. He got own his knees for them.
ReplyDeleteNow they own him.
^^
DeleteOuch.
Q Ball picked a side when he performed fellatio on blm. Color over substance. Typical libtard.
ReplyDeleteI thought we hired a man to be mayor instead we got a petulant, self centered egotistical child. It’s time for a recall and get someone else who has the courage and strength to run this cowtown right.
ReplyDelete^^^ Nailed it!
DeleteCan a black clown commit hari-kari?
ReplyDeleteSeppuku
DeleteWhat should he do??? He should represent the All citizens of Kansas City, not just a vocal minority, ALL OF US!
ReplyDeleteLucas needs to quit and go back to KU and teach. No wait that's not a good idea either. We don't need anymore lawyers thinking like him. Waste Management is hiring I hear Quinton.
ReplyDeleteIf he knows what is good for him, and that’s all that matters to him, he will side with enforcement of our laws. I bet he wishes he was back at the lake with those fat Joco women.
ReplyDeleteHe will fold and try to reclaim favor with the communists. But then they will demand more and he'll have no choice but to eliminate private property.
ReplyDeleteSounds far fetched, but city hall will be given back to the people. He'll be evicted.
Lucas picked a side when he was elected to public office.
ReplyDeleteThe job has actual responsibilities and outcomes for residents of the entire city.
It isn't like teaching college kids about theories and ideas.
Lucas has been an embarrassment from almost his first day in office and his handling of the riots and medical emergency have demonstrated not only his cluelessness and incompetence, but his cowardice in the face of uninformed and extreme "demands", and his lack of understanding or concern for the consequences of his actions.
Then add in his narcissism and the relentless pursuit of celebrity, and you have the formula for, not only current nonsense, but for very long-term negative impact on both KCMO and the entire metro.
It continues to amaze that in a city with a population of almost half a million people, that the two finalists in a mayoral race were this clown and Jolie Justus.
The majority of residents and voters in KCMO really have to get serious.
He should do what he promised.
ReplyDeleteGet local control for KC!
And then divest, defund and abolish. The system needs real change and not just talk.
7:46 Why do you want more minorities killed in their sleep? That's what you'll produce - more LeGends slaughtered in their beds.
DeleteWhy do you have so much hate in your heart for minorities?

ReplyDeleteNot fair. His skin color automatically makes him a great mayor. He should stay the course, because kneeling with BLM as a representative of the city, essentially conceding that all Kansas City residents support his support of BLM, was the right thing to do. Surely the knee will stop the violence and rioting, as it said, "I am your mayor and here I am prostrating myself in front of you. Now stop this violence, go home, and I will take care of everything, including the homicides." You see how effective that kneeling has been. It;s been as effective as effective as Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey's concessions, as effective as the Portalnd mayor's march in support of the rioting, and as effective as Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan's "Summer of Love" support. By being black, his effectiveness and leadership among the black community should be rock solid. Black leaders should be supporting him, and the black-on-black violence in the city should cease immediately, just as it stopped completely under Sly James. Wait...That didn't happen. Weird.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a queer. What would most queers do?
ReplyDeleteMayor Quentin Lucas administration is what happens when a Marxist College Professor is given the keys to the City.
ReplyDeleteTotal anarchy.
DEFUND public universities as they have become Communist re-education camps for our youth.
I did not make the comment at 7:48.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that Mayor Lucas is torn between common sense (i.e. he knows he needs additional resources to investigate unsolved crimes and help fight crime in his city) and politics (i.e. he can't contradict the media/Democrat narrative that federal "storm troopers" have overrun the city).
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE NO FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ROAMING THE STREETS OF KANSAS CITY ARRESTING PEOPLE. THEY DON'T HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE IS A FEDERAL CRIME.
7:48, you don't have to be evil just because you have white skin.
ReplyDeleteYou racists are an embarrassment to white people everywhere.
You are doing this to embarrass me, & stifle my free speech.

ReplyDeleteWay to go Lucas you stupid idiot. Grow a backbone and just say no to terrorism.
Byron, I think you dost protest too much.
ReplyDeleteI did not make the comment at 8:26
ReplyDeletehe should double-talk until he gets appointed to a sinecure by biden
ReplyDeleteThe Mayor will go in whatever direction the wind Is blowing... For right now that is with the Nazi’s from BLM movement. Things can change he will flip flop when this “movement” goes nowhere and crime goes even more out of control. This guy is a total faker !
ReplyDeleteByron- As Tommy Lee Jones said “ I don’t care”
I'm Joe Biden and I would like your vote for mayor. Don't be a lying dog-faced pony soldier!
ReplyDeleteHe is in a no win situation. But he could stand tall, tell the right wing nuts that there does need to be police reforms. He could tell the KCPD he expects better from them. Then tell the left wing nuts that if you riot or loot your ass will be thrown in jail and he will support the cops who do it.
ReplyDeleteBut in our society you can't be a voice of reason and honesty, you have to be on one team or the other even though both teams are incompetent crooks.
He is facing a real quandary. His ambitions are national and he cannot back away from supporting the mob and break with the DNC if he wants to move up but his city is falling apart around him. In the end, it is his ambition and vanity that will guide him as they always have. He will walk on both sides as much as he can but he will never allow the police to do their jobs against the rioters, at least not until after the national election.
ReplyDeleteYou conservatives are racists. The police need reformed! Remember, BLACK LIVES MATTER.
ReplyDelete#MAGA #Trump2020
He created that no win situation 8:43. There's no way to work back after he went full mental libtard. I'm enjoying watching his political death and want it to be a very slow one. Tossing him out of office is too easy. Let him wallow in the shithole that he made until his ass is handed to him in 2023. It's going to be entertaining as hell watching him grabbing at straws trying to pull an electable message out of his complete and total indefensible fuckups. Probably time for him to write another stern letter don'tcha think? Maybe sign off on a few more that somebody else wrote or get on his knees again and suck some more blm?
ReplyDeleteI did make the comments at 8:55
ReplyDeleteNone of the organizations listed in the flyer have my support. Socialists and ner-do-wells. Free rent? Really?
ReplyDeleteI molested the neighbor dog at 8:57
ReplyDeleteMayor McDrinkerson looking more clueless, weak, and incompetent by the day.
ReplyDeleteNow he's even managed to piss off his core constituency of race-baiting, handout-demanding malcontents.

ReplyDelete"How should Mayor Quinton Lucas respond?"
Continue pandering to the Eastside grifters...
Continue groveling to national media for interviews...
Continue privately assuring the developer-class that he's their guy...
Continue lying about the coronavirus "pandemic"...
Continue trying to shutdown KC while going maskless at Lake of the Ozarks...
And continue blaming anyone and everyone except yourself!!!
the mayor is showing that he's definitely of a quality to be presidential material in the future.
ReplyDeletebut we likely won't last that long.
advice to the mayor: volunteer for the ku med vaccine trial. there'd be a lot of publicity to be garnered.
ReplyDeletethe mayor should get married and have children if he wants to be president.
ReplyDeleteHe should hire me to work with him to run the city. We could both drink soy milk together, and kneel whenever anyone demands that we kneel before them.
ReplyDeleteI am Byron Funkhouser, and I approve of this message.
i did not make the comment at 923
ReplyDeleteWhile I said the mayor could stand tall and tell the truth I expect him to cater to the loony left since that is the majority in KCMO. So many reasonable citizens have moved away that those remaining have no voice. So Lucas will watch the city decline but will be rewarded with a second term, just like Sly James.
ReplyDeleteByron, you're really starting to piss me off. You are even more wishy washy than our boi blunder mayor.
ReplyDeleteYou post something, then you disclaim it, then you disclaim the disclaimer.
My head is beginning to hurt. I don't pay any care about your opinions, but I still can't figure out what they are.
Also, stop molesting that poor dog!
^^and there's nothing you can do about it Boomer! Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou could add together all the "active" members of all those organizations listed and there wouldn't be enough people to fill a city bus.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you insisted on only the DUES PAYING members, they could ride to the protests in a cab.
These fake organizations are nothing but fronts for a handful of "activists" and self-appointed "leaders" desperate for attention and opportunities to try to intimidate others to do whatever they "demand".
And the cowards at KCMO city hall are the easiest of pickings.
It would all be comical if the stakes for other residents in KCMO weren't so high.
And especially for folks who live in east side high stress neighborhoods who need the police more than anyone else.
Maybe more folks like LeGend's family should be the ones setting the agenda and making the speeches.
I like to have sex with animals
ReplyDeleteThe tax base started to disappear with one knee grow down wait until he assumes his two knee grow down stance.

The Urban secret.... They do not want Feds in KC because the Feds will make arrests of Federal crimes and will help solve open crimes.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day, the Urban criminal enterprise is profitable for the Urban core and the local activists want this to continue.
This is from a life long Democrat-I 100% support the Feds support in KCMO>
If he doesn't side with the police he should immediately resign. As the mayor of a major metropolitan city you cannot pick the side of lawlessness and tyranny of the minority.
ReplyDeleteSorry Black Rainbow, black and brown are not colors found in a rainbow.
ReplyDelete1036, at the end of the day, you may be right. a mayor can't be against enforcing the law and maintaining order.
ReplyDelete“We asked you to fund our lives”, is an outrageous claim form the activists. Mayor McKneely must inform them they have to fund their own lives by getting a job and work to better themselves.
ReplyDeleteAnyone but Quinton for the next election!
ReplyDeleteThe mob and looters own Mayor Q. He will do anything to make them happy.
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't side with police he should immediately resign and hand the job over to someone else. Crime in KC is breaking records right now. Children are being shot in their beds for crying out loud. KC is not safe and not because of Covid.
ReplyDeleteMy dog Spot ate my egg sandwich with mayo that Jill left me in the basement.
ReplyDeleteCripes ! Damn you Spot !!
Sleepy Joe Biden
KCMO just needs a real man to be mayor for once. The litany of black mayors that can't handle the job is killing us now. Where is Clint Eastwood when we need him?
ReplyDelete^^Dead. Because he's old as shit. Just like you Boomer. Nobody's coming to save you. You can just go a head and die.
ReplyDeleteBut Chimpy, you played yourself again! Can people be dead AND alive in monkey world?
DeletePoor Chimpy.
Oh, Chimpers @12:34, you always look like shit and smell like shit. Zoo staff have been wearing heavy duty PPE around you for years!
DeleteFor year's event the Tonyskansascity readers have been telling us about Democratic RUN CITY'S. And now the White House is telling America .THE Mayor is a puppet to the URBAN MINISTERS .THAT IS WHAT IS DESTROYING KANSAS CITY. AND THE 2 million people that live in our Metro know this as well. You won't hear the Local Media report this. There are two dozen minister's that knows what is best for your City.
ReplyDeleteSad part is Lucas knows he needs the resources. FBI, DOJ, and other resources helping KCMO police investigate crimes has the POTENTIAL to be a big benefit for the city. It's too bad this community has blown this effort up on politics alone.
ReplyDeleteTrump should give actual concrete examples of support that's being offered and these groups should give reasons why KCMO doesn't need them. My understanding is DOJ is offering back-office resources, FBI is offering resources such as their criminal records and crime lab time. These are not "storm troopers" running around KCMO arresting people and banging down doors.
And you have to vote Cleaver out of Office he is an embarrassment to Our Metro. And this can be Done. You have more people in Eastern Jackson County that agree he has to go.
ReplyDeletethis doesn't compute.
ReplyDeletethis is the leadership group that should be demanding action to help regular folks by getting crime under control.
what the heck is going on?
Truth is, these are a handful of nobodies pretending to be a mouthpiece for blacks. All blacks. It's not true. Never was true. Its a monumental joke. This is typical full of shit BS from people who swim in it.
ReplyDeleteOver the weekend TV news reported 293 murder cases unsolved, going back several years. Anyone would have to guess that these cases will mostly remain unsolved without outside help, and let those guilty of these crimes continue the same? Thus, Operation Legend came about.
ReplyDeleteAre these advocacy groups hoping that most or all of those cases should remain unsolved? (They want to end Operation Legend, so it seems, yes.)
Exactly who in the inner city benefits if a murder case remains outstanding? The heartbroken citizens and families - or the nonprofit groups that receive government grants and donations, who make a living off of heartbreak and the social problems.
Are they not listening to the families of these murder victims? No.
Do they think the vast majority of upstanding citizens are too stupid to see what is going on?
Propagating crime for profit.
Do not give the Marxist Communists anything!
ReplyDeleteWe need about 5,000 replies of Byron " i did not make "...Hard to tell that Byron, you post a million replies a day and on every subject. Get a fucking life. Get a clue to what people think of you. Weird
ReplyDeleteI have been an incel for over ten years.
ReplyDeleteMost of those organizations are negro organizations. They don’t want federal help in getting criminals off the streets? Really?
ReplyDeleteway to set the parameters of criticism and choice red rover!
ReplyDeleteWhy does he have to pick a side? 49% of ya’ll voted for Julie so why does you opinion matter? He doesn’t work for you if we being honest. Spend less time complaining and stop voting for the wrong folks.
ReplyDeleteCHOOSE WONKRU, these are MY people!
ReplyDeleteBald man bad has multiple personality disorder, he tells one station what they want to hear then goes on another station and tells them what they want to hear and so on and son on, the boy is too immature to be mayor and too childish to make informed decisions for the 99% of the taxpayers that want the crime, murder and corruption stopped.
ReplyDeleteis there a leader hidden in there that will come out dome day?
ReplyDeletenow might not be a bad time for leadership.
The boy blunder is an habitual liar, how else do you think he got where he is today? It sure isn’t because he has a brain that’s for damn sure.
ReplyDelete~against a crooked sky
ReplyDeleteAs I see it, those that want Q to denounce the Feds have only three motives. The first is to oppose Trump initiatives as a matter of Democratic election year strategy. The second is that the old line black politicos have lost initiative to BLM and are trying to flex some muscle and show some relevance as outdated progressives. Finally, those that oppose Federal power.
ReplyDeleteQ has been on BBC, NPR, and invited to the White House. He's no flunky. Make no mistake, he's being vetted and tested for higher office. He's got plenty good instincts for KC. The big boys are checking out if he can handle the bright lights.
The local folks: clueless.
^^^ that’s just..... stupid
