What he wrote is "The Wire" in a few paragraphs....if you want to see exactly how "we are all to blame", check out the HBO series "The Wire"....best television show in history.
Who's to blame for the spread of crime?
Midtown Miscreant doesn't let anybody off the hook this time.
wow.....a rare case in Kentucky?? For some reason I find that hard to believe.....typical redneck, hillbillies in Kentucky
KY siblings accused of making babies with one another
Seriously ... you might not want to read this if you've recently had lunch or are having trouble keeping food down today. For all you other brave souls, here goes. Hat Tip: Many thanks, You're A Mean Drunk R2D2!
Hey MOF.....Tony is stating the truth, unfortunately.
Why didn't Zach Gamble get more coverage?
RDM wonders why Zach Gamble, the Raytown teenager whose body was found over the weekend, didn't get more news coverage when he disappeared over Christmas. He says it would've been a bigger story if Zach were female. What's worse is that Zach was a teenager. If we're to believe what his classmate...
As I was driving through the Plaza this past Saturday, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the horses as the plodded along in slush and snow while the temperature hovered around 15 degrees. The Plaza in winter is no place for a horse. If the owners of this operation cared anything about these animals they would not have them out there in that type of weather.
Carriage crash on the Plaza?
I missed it, but KMBC says two horse carriages collided with each other on 47th and Cleaver II sometime over the weekend. (Not sure what the cross street is.) I guess these things add some ambiance to the Plaza, but as a driver, I really, really hate them. It seems like their busiest season i...
And once again KC shows it's ignorance and hate on the Crime blog......I'm convinced that James Hart post these "race" stories in particular on purpose......WHY??? It is evident that people in this city are not mature or intellectual enough to discuss race issues without resorting to hateful name calling.
Gang problem -- or race problem?
Long -- but really interesting -- story from St. Louis. Love the lede: The principal pulled an unruly student into her office and sized him up. Droopy trousers. Sideways baseball cap. Shiny "grill" clamped to his front teeth. "You're no gangster," said Ingrid Clark-Jackson, principal of Hazelwoo...
wow...what a racist lot of people on this board. James, do you post these "race" stories to get all of the klansmen out?? It only goes to show how ignorant, racist and backwards the folks in KC really are. I can't believe they are blasting this lady for what she went through. She deserves to sue, Black, White , Yellow it doesn't matter. She was FORCED to lie on her stomach while visibly pregnant at gunpoint on a very busy major highway!!!! And you people are upset that her lawyer is pulling the race card?? MORE POWER TO THEM!!! She deserves all she can get!!! The people of KC shame themselves when it comes to race issues.
Yvette Hayes files suit
Everybody was sort of expecting this one, but it's official. Yvette Hayes, an elementary-school principal, says Independence police were racially profiling her when they forced Hayes, who was then noticeably pregnant, to lay down along Interstate 70. Joe Lambe's got a full story here. The suit a...
Mindy...I would love for you to elaborate on the name a bit...what exactly are you getting at??
AL family makes burglar clean their house at gunpoint
Alabama family comes home to find their home has been burgled. The house is a mess, completely turned over. Luckily, they also find the burglar, who is still on the premises. So they make him clean their house at gunpoint. (God bless this country. I sang "America F*** Yeah" as I typed this one.)...
haaa...that was his mug shot shortly after being arrested for firing at the cop....judging from his bruised and battered face, looks like the cops took out some aggression!
Frederick D. Darrington Jr. charged AGAIN
Frederick D. Darrington Jr. -- who's already accused of shooting a KCPD officer in June and hitting two pedestrians in May -- now faces charges related to a street robbery, Jackson County prosecutors report. (Link to a copy of the probable cause.) Specifically, authorities say Darrington pulle...
So let me get this right Nick...your blaming KCK for the beating this lady took from her drunken, redneck husband?? WOW. As far as I can remember Edwardsville has never been nothing more then a spot for a bunch of tobacco spittin' rednecks to gather and watch NASCAR. That dusty, dirty spot never had anything by the tail....
It happened in Edwardsville ... again
It seems the city leaders there just can't stay out of trouble. This time it's the mayor. Here's the latest. | Sara Shepherd
Again....Dog Fighting is NOT a culture thing (meaning this is NOT a Black thing)....people from all walks of life indulge in this cruel pastime. Yes, even redneck racist like those on this board...It's quite funny that all black criminals are labled as "thugs" yet white criminals are not given the same label on this racist board.
Rapper news: Deputies raid Phoenix home of DMX
They found a bunch of gnarly stuff there, too. You know, guns, suspected drugs, a dozen pit bulls, a couple pit bulls' bodies. DMX -- whose real name is Earl Simmons -- has yet to be charged with anything. But the story wraps up with this notable background information: In 2002, Simmons plead...
And if your are "hunting" with a gun then that is murder. Do the deer have guns? How about making it fair to the animal and go after them with a knife.....that is hunting. Killing a deer from 100 yards away with a high powered rifle is not hunting.
Quote of the day
"I think it's tough. I think, you know, we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals. You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors." -- Stephon Marbury of the New York Knicks.
ok...we are talking about Stephon Marbury here aka Starbury......I watch a lot of NBA and he has to be one of the dumbest athletes that I have ever heard speak in my life. He is very lucky that he is good with a basketball otherwise he would be a fry cook at the local burger joint. My point is, I'm not sure why anyone would be suprised by anything he has to say.

Poverty.....that is all it is. Poverty breeds crime. Plain and simple. That said, the ignorance on this board is outrageous. It's amazing how brave people get when hiding behind a post.
Charges from Tuesday shootouts, pursuits
We've got mugshots, starting from the top left, of Montae Robertson, Demetrius Briggs, Kyle Gardenhire, Dion Spriggs and Bryan Walker. Each of these men now face criminal charges in federal court, U.S. Attorney John Wood's office announced Wednesday afternoon. Two of the guys -- Gard...
As a Black man let me inform you guys that dogfighting is in no way part of "our" culture. It infuriates me when I hear this. I'm a dog owner and lover and find Vick's actions disgusting and cruel. Vick's actions and involvement in this heinous crime does not represent the sentiment of the "hood" , hip-hop or Black people in general.
Update on Michael Vick
Despite the recent unpleasantness, the NFL plans to let Vick keep playing. For now. File photo via The AP
The Great "White" Flight huh......it seems to me that the "white flight " hasn't stopped as I see OP trying to annex more land......there still is a vet office there on the corner of 57th and Prospect. The Prospect Animal Hospital.
Morgue File: Sept. 23, 1965
From the original cutline: A holdup victim, Floyd R. Irwin, 51, was led by police last night from the Kozak drugstore, 5744 Prospect avenue, to an ambulance. Irwin was a customer in the store and was cut over his left eye when struck with a gun by the robber. The officers are Patrolmen Ronald ...
...and I would have definitely reported the cops that kicked the dog over on Bannister.
Was IL man putting dog out of its misery? Or just being cruel?
Illinois police have arrested a Granite City man who was reportedly clubbing his Labrador retriever with a 2-by-4 after a hit-and-run driver hit the animal. The man says he was trying to put the animal out of its misery, but the police argue the dog should have been taken to a vet. It's not clea...
Let's tie this guy up and beat him with 2 x 4......this bastard

Wow...what a bunch of assuming bigots on the board today. Wait, this racist city rears it's ugly bigotry on this board everyday, why am I suprised today...anyway nowhere in the article did it say that this lady was Latino yet you assume this since it is in Arizona.
Police: Woman put child, dog in path of boyfriend's truck
An Arizona woman is accused of putting her 3-year-old girl in the path of her boyfriend's truck to keep him from leaving. Authorities say she also stowed a baby, 1, in the truck bed. Didn't stop the BF. But that's not as bad as what reportedly happened to their dog. Hat Tip: Many thanks, eephus!
Oh, he's going to suffer big time....Once the inmates at his new residence find out about his crime against a innocent, defenseless little girl he's going to wish he was never born.
Leavenworth man convicted of sexually abusing girl, 4
Shawn M. Jones, 29, was convicted Tuesday of first-degree statutory sodomy for sexually abusing a 4-year-old girl, Platte County prosecutors said. The case was reported back in 2003, when the girl was taken to the hospital the day after Christmas for an examination. Jones is from Leavenworth. ...
wow.....where are all the people who were yelling child abuse yesterday??
Update on Wichita ear-piercing case
The mom has contacted the Eagle and told her side of the story. Mom says the little girl asked to have the piercings done and used some of her birthday money to do so. Wal-Mart didn't actually complete the process; Mom stopped them halfway through because the girl wanted to quit.
Wow....get a grip folks!!! Child Abuse over a child getting her ears pierced??!! You can't spank your child without some nosy azz person getting in your business and now you can't get your child's ear pierced without someone getting overly excited. That is the problem with these kids today. They get everything "their" way and it results to no respect for authority. My Mom and Dad were old fashioned and we NEVER questioned their authority. NEVER. When I see a child acting up in public it tells me that their parents aren't doing a good job of parenting. You guys are arguing if getting a childs ears pierced is child abuse!!! UNBELIEVABLE.
Is ear-piercing child abuse?
Another weird one from Wichita ... Lady hears a little girl screaming and wailing as the girl, who's about 5, gets her ears pierced at a Wal-Mart. Girl specifically says she doesn't want to get her ears pierced. Lady tries to talk to the Wal-Mart employee and the girl's mother. Nobody listens to...
Excuse me....a CRACKHEAD...not a meth head but a crackhead.....crack will make you do dumb sh*t folks

Crimes against women and children don't go over too well with the prisons general population. These are considered coward crimes and I personally think anybody who commits such crimes should take their chances in the big house
"He's not going to make it"
Christopher Vaughn -- the St. Louis native accused of killing his wife and three kids in suburban Chicago -- won't be extradited back to Illinois right away. (Vaughn was arrested this weekend in St. Charles, a couple of hours before his family's funeral.) The Sun-Times reported this about Vaughn...
This officer was clearly out of line. Regardless of the offense, you don't go around choking people. If this is the second complaint on this officer he clearly has a problem and there is no telling how many times he has abused people and got away with it. He looks like your prototypical a s s hole cop.
KCPD chief wants to fire officer accused of choking suspect
Christine Vendel has a story about KC Police Chief Jim Corwin wanting to fire an officer who was reportedly caught choking a handcuffed suspect. Officers believed the man had drugs hidden in his mouth. The department has released dashcam footage of the incident, which happened last November. (...
