After receiving info, the police went to search a home at 50th and Chestnut. There they found a second person dead inside the home. Neither of the victims' identities has been released. There is also no suspect info at this time.

If both deaths are declared homicides, KCMO's total for 2012 will be seven.

The summer will get worse if they are on a rampage now, they need Jesus, conflict resolution classes, and self-esteem, classes to motivate our youth to get their heads on straight. Also, to help the police we need to call a state emergency and Sly James get some army recruits to help walk the pavement and take these hoodlums off the street, put in jail, or pay the price the hard way cause a change is going to come and it will not be nothing nice if we don't fix this and use this advice.

let me clarify this for you all...

It is not racist to say MOST of the homicides were committed by young black people, that is WELL known statistically speaking...

BUT it becomes racist when you say that EVERY BLACK PERSON in KC is committing malicious crimes/homicides, just because they are BLACK... now THAT is laughably ignorant

there ARE BLACK students, school teachers, pastors, nurses, attorneys, social workers, ETC ... who dont condone violence or participate in violence... some who happen live on the "east side"...


And Im sure (if you are an adult) you know this already, but for some reason some people like to come on this website and rant ignorance

Just wait till Summer gets here, and the Majority of these HOODRATS don't have anything better to do, Violence will be a Nightly occurance in KCMO , as much a 5 or 6 times a night ! I seriously believe its time to do an INVESTIGATION into some of these suspects pasts as to where there ORIGINALLY from, I'll be the majority are NOT Native kansas citians, but come from places like New Orleans, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, etc. they bring their ill- gotton attitude and demeanour with them, thats how they lived down there in those places with stealing, Drive by shootings, rolling gun battles, hi-speed car chases, then they relocate (famalies too) and continue on the same path, just a different city, till their either dead or in prision !

Having read the article in the Kansas City Star and determining that the stereotypes are correct based on research, my uneasy feelings around young to middle-age black males appears justified.

That being said, anyone who 'stereotypes' is considered a racist. Right? Count me in! I am now a racist. Naturally, the KC Star disallowed comments on that page knowing that 90% of the community would feel the same and would likely comment on it. To protect their (KC Star) interest of pandering to the minorities, truth and opinion is/was oppressed- similar to the blacks of pre-1970's.

Funny that the School Board can't even keep these people from running for their open positions. Take Sanford J. Willis for example. A guy on probation for drug dealing makes it all the way to the front door of the electoral process before finally getting nabbed for his record. Just a guess but something tells me he'd kill/murder a black youth trying to steal his drugs. And we're shocked?

These are the same people that fuel ignorance in our school district. As the statistics state, black on black crime isn't an outlier. It is the mean. The majority of black youths wouldn't even give two dingleberries and a Cool Menthol for an education. They are simply there to rant and rave and "act da fool" to ensure that they are consistent with their societal norms. And having some hickdead trying to run for the board only proves that young to middle ages blacks are completely ignorant to the necessity of education. In fact, as Mr. Willis proved, it is only a joke. A joke that the murdering, pillaging, raping, drug dealing minority are paying for.
