I have never felt unsafe in KC, I don't live there anymore but go back a couple of times a year. There are some parts of town that are a bit dicey, but nothing like Chicago, or Detroit.
KC and STL areas of MO always vote liberal (even the dead) and voted against CCW. Those about the only 2 places in the state I ever feel the need to carry.
Not too sure about the makeup of that neighborhood as I’m from a different location around KC but am told that there are three homes in that and another connecting block where three police officers and their families live, so the perp was pretty dumb to be “breaking into homes” on that block!
“There are some parts of town that are a bit dicey, but nothing like Chicago, or Detroit.”
I guess unless something is “really done” to fix the problem, it won’t take all that long for KC to be like the other cities you mention. Just looked, KC has a Black Mayor (Sly James). That’s all that KC needs to join Detroit and a host of other “black-run” cities. It’s always the same. They pander to the Gibbsmedats passing out unearned “benefits” until the whites leave (along with their bucks), then just like Detroit, they will be asking for their “bacon” from DC in exchange for keeping the RATs on the job. Problem is, dey ain’t no mo’ bacon!
