Westside Victims not Cooperating...Call Aim4Peace - Quick!!

We need a movement. No, strike that, we need a march and we need it now!
Someone get those morons from Aim4Peace on the phone so we can get some accountability from this neighborhood - STAT!!!
Based on a story covered on KC Crime Scene, the daily rag's crime site, victims of the shootings that took place at the Agguire Center Friday night aren't cooperating with Police. Police investigators are stonewalled at this stage of the game.

Quick - someone cue the Underdog theme music.

I'm sure the Aim4Idiots could come in and really lend a hand here. After all, this is what they specialize in isn't it? They could picket the victims houses, that'd work. They ned to do something to justify that $1500/mo stipend from the city - time they step up and get right!

Vennie Gonzalez, who runs an Aim4Peace "church" out of his Independence home should be right over with his busload of rent-a-mob picket toting goons. THAT ought to break this thing wide open, huh!

Puhleeaze!!! Give me strength!!

Hypocrite millionaire McCaskill gives "Bony Wag" to Wall Street Millionaires.

And they called it puppy love
Never let it be said House Democrats aren't the least bit hypocritical. That said, imagine how some Wall Street tycoons felt when the fourteenth richest member of the United States Congress lectured them on, what else...their shameful behavior and bonuses.
Our guess is that its all smoke and mirrors in an attempt to keep her nose deeply buried in the president's hind quarters - someone who she ardently campaigned for over the last 12 months instead of doing her JOB representing the people of Missouri.

According to Bottom Line Communications, McCaskill's net worth grew substantially in 2007. McCaskill and her husband own a number of "affordable" housing developments. There's big money in po folks housing. (do as I say, not as I do) Can you say dependant class?

Looks like my grandmother was right. A matress is probably the safest place for this lil pooches money cuz it sure looks as if Claire and the rest of her brood are comin after it!
God forbid we should be on the business end of THAT girl's bony wag!

YIKES!!!!

East Zone Warrant Sweeps Target Blue Valley Townhomes

Police blanketed the area near 23rd& Wheeling yesterday in a multi-agency warrant sweep in the Blue Valley Townhomes. Kansas City MO Police Officers teamed with officials from the Independence MO Police Department, The U.S. Marshall's Office and HUD on the sweep that netted over 45 arrests.
Can you say target rich environment?

Captain Jeff Emery of East Patrol noted: "with the cooperation of these other agencies, this was a huge success" referring to the 75% arrest to warrant ratio.

We can only hope that the Prosecutor's office will hold and charge these individuals instead of "ROR"ing (release on recognizance) them back in to the community to continue their pillaging and plundering.

Who Writes This Stuff???

A story on the NBC Action news web site tells the tale of a stabbing early Saturday morning outside of Gerry's Silver Slipper down at Independence & Lawn, well within the city limits of Kansas City.

The writer for NBC Action News, (Mike Markewinski) I shant call him a journalist, indicates in his ramblings that "Police don't know what caused the stabbings".

Hmm, last I looked, stabbing is usually caused by someone thrusting a sharp object into or at someone else. Usually deliberately and with much vigor.

Then, Mr. Markewinski indicates that anyone with information should call the Prairie Village Police Department.

I might not be the greatest cartographer (map maker) but last I looked, 4700 Independence Avenue is in Kansas City and is roughly 8 or so miles from any border of the sleepy burb of Prairie Village.

Guess the ol intern pool was a little dry this semester aye channel 41?

The story, if you can call it that, speaks for itself and is below.

Enjoy!

Citing a post on Tony's Kansas City, a local blog, Bottom Line Communications is reporting that Feruzza will continue his gig at The Pitch, but wouldn't go in to detail about his status with the paper but sources are indicating he'll continue his weekly column there.

18-year-old Man Killed in shooting

Kansas City’s three-week homicide drought came to a violent end Tuesday afternoon when an 18-year-old Kansas City man was shot in the head in the parking lot of the Belmont Place Apartments near Belmont Boulevard and St. John Avenue.

Crime scene tape fluttered in the breeze as Police investigators combed the area inside the Belmont Court apartments Tuesday afternoon looking for clues as to who may have wanted the man dead.

Witnesses indicated hearing a loud boom near the scene at approximately 4:45 p.m. Tuesday. A female witness at the scene stated that a white male shot the victim. The suspect is described as a white male, 5'8", medium build, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt/jacket and blue jeans.

What exactly happened next is unclear, but the end result is the victim’s girlfriend’s car, (left) in which the victim was riding, crashed into the side of one of the buildings. The pair were allegedly “jumped,” by a group of individuals when they pulled in tothe parking lot. The group approached the victim's girlfriend, then walked toward the victim as he sat in the vehicle. Seeing the group approaching the car, the victim allegedly jumped in to the driver';s seat and attempted to flee the scene. As he did so, he was struck in the head by a bullet. . He was pronounced dead later. Witnesses indicated that the suspect(s) fled on foot, possibly to a house a few blocks away. 

The victim’s father, a lifelong Northeast resident, indicated the victim wasn’t a bad kid.

“He just got mixed up with the wrong crowd," the father said. “I tried on many occasions to tell him he was going down the wrong road, but he wouldn’t listen."

The father lamented how times in Northeast had changed.
“When I was a kid, we used to run these streets. If you didn’t like someone, you met them after school, went to the vacant lot and duked it out, with your fists, like men,” he said. “It's a lot different today. You look cross-eyed at some of these kids, and you risk getting shot. It's just crazy."

Residents indicate that lately, the small complex has become a hot-bed of gang activity. One resident who wished to remain anonymous indicated that gunshots were a regular occurrence at the complex, where a home invasion, robbery and assault occurred this past weekend. Police are reviewing evidence to see if the two incidents are related. 

“We call 911 on a regular basis,” the resident said. “It all seems to be coming from one apartment."
