KANSAS CITY HIGHWAY SHOOTER ARRESTED
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 17,2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/18/2014 9:15:15 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Twenty cars were shot at in the past month. Three people were injured. Local 10 reported:

For more than a month, motorists around Kansas City, Missouri, have worried about something besides traffic jams and potholes.

Someone had fired a gun at as many as 20 motorists on major roads and highways. Three people were shot, none with life-threatening injuries.

A news conference expecting to reveal details of the case was scheduled Friday, a day after Police Chief Darryl Forte announced a man was taken into custody in connection with the shootings. The suspect’s name won’t be released until charges have been filed.

Thursday’s arrest took place in Grandview, Missouri, south of Kansas City. Kevin Cooksey, who lives across an alley from the suspect, said he saw police take him into custody.

“He couldn’t go nowhere because he was surrounded. Completely surrounded,” Cooksey told affiliate KSHB-TV. “They were on him. As soon as it happened, they were on him.”

The shootings began March 8, and at least 12 of them are connected, police said. Some motorists weren’t even aware shots had been fired at their vehicles.

Well at least we now have definitive proof it couldn’t be a hate crime.

All are valid inquiries...not that the “media” [spit!] are interested in that.

Story will be that the “gentleman” is frustrated from being denied productive community inpt (AKA: work) because the rich, white man running “the system” doesn’t want to hire someone they perceive as a “black radical” [ref: Facebook Posts, brutha!] and “acted out” on that simple and base frustration.

Melanin, not withstanding.

If the alleged shooter, who seems to be black, has shot at a car driven/owned by a white person, will he be charged with a hate crime?

ZabaSearch has a 27-year-old Mohammed Whitaker in Huntsville, MO, which is about 130 miles east of Kansas City.

Good afternoon.

Good call Joe, you pegged him, I missed.

FReepers are honorable people, something you don't see in the media (we are part of the media). Especially, when FR should be given credit for braking a story (i.e. Reid's involvement in the Bundy situation), and not given proper attribution.

No matter, because of us, algore isn't president, dan rather has no job, and bill Clinton is still impeached.

FR is vindicated.

A fifth-column leftist MSM clymer was reporting on See-BS that the (subtitled) “.380 cal.” handgun used was a “three-eighty revolver.”

I’m surprised he didn’t include “assault” in the gun’s description.

And the police official was falling all over herself NOT to use any adjective or noun that could imply a “hate crime.”
