Murder Factory, Part 3

The Kansas City Star

Last year’s wave of Kansas City homicides prompted “A Call to Oneness” weekend, which included the march of about 3,000 people along Prospect Avenue from 39th Street to Linwood Boulevard. The rally was organized by local clergy


When elected mayor in 2006, Cory A. Booker challenged the people of Newark, N.J., to reject their complacent attitude about violent crime on city streets.
“The true threat to our city,” he said, “is not the small group of violent criminals, but the apathy and indifference of countless good citizens who refuse to stand up for their neighborhoods and their city.”
Kansas City needs to embrace the same challenge if it wants to end the violence that has taken more than 1,000 lives over the last decade — and made ZIP code 64130 the state’s biggest producer of incarcerated killers.

Murder Factory, Part 2

A taxicab, its side windows shattered, sat in the middle of the street with the driver’s bullet-riddled body still inside.
Thirty feet away, Merlon Ragland stood on the front porch of the home day care she operates on East 60th Street and greeted parents as they dropped off their children.
Pushing strollers or carrying little ones on their hips, they negotiated a maze of police crime scene tape to reach her.
The scene was nothing new to Ragland and her mother, longtime residents of 64130 — the ZIP code that has the most killers in Missouri prisons.
Five men, including one of Ragland’s relatives, were shot to death in the 1990s in three incidents on the same block. The taxi driver’s killing was the latest in a more recent string of violent crimes.
“It’s just getting ridiculous,” said Ragland’s mother, Esther Ragland. “You don’t want to open your door to anyone.”
Merlon Ragland needed few words to sum up her neighborhood’s history.
“White flight, black flight and then you’re left with urban blight,” said Ragland, who is black.

If you think you are going to read another attack on the Kansas City Star, its reporters and especially the editorial writers not so this time. The Star on ‘rare’ occasion will do something that even a good conservative boy can find no fault with, as a matter of fact [we] wouldn’t be surprised if this “Murder Factory” three part series might get them a Pulitzer Prize nod.

Behind every pull of the trigger there is a story.
In the Kansas City ZIP code 64130, there are a lot of stories to tell.
Its eight square miles, straddling Brush Creek downstream from the Country Club Plaza, is home to 101 convicted murderers incarcerated in Missouri prisons.
No other ZIP code in Kansas City, St. Louis or any other part of the state comes close. Though its 26,000 residents make up about 6 percent of the city’s population, it accounts for 20 percent of Kansas Citians in prison for murder or voluntary manslaughter.
If society set out to design an assembly line for producing killers, it’s hard to imagine a model any more efficient than what exists inside its boundaries, stretching from 39th to 63rd streets and bordered by Woodland and Topping avenues. It has become a murder factory that spans generations.

Weather the economic slump or return to their native countries

Guillermo Alvidrez stood inside the Westside CAN Center, (22nd & Jefferson, KC MO) clutching his cold hands beneath his chin to warm them.
He had been outside hoping for someone to drive up and offer him some work, but, as in previous days, no one had. Around him, other day laborers huddled in groups talking, bored and bumming cigarettes. Alvidrez engaged in small talk with little interest.
“My cousin went back to Mexico in January,” said Alvidrez, 44. “Not me. There’s no work there either.”
More and more, day laborers in the metro area are finding it hard if not impossible to find steady work, a stark turnaround from recent years, when the housing boom and a bustling economy provided regular jobs.
Now, with the competition for jobs increased by workers laid off from full-time jobs, they face the hard choice of returning to their native countries or toughing it out here.

Johnson County sheriff’s deputies have made another arrest in connection with an alleged identity-theft ring busted earlier this month.
Deputies were tipped off on Tuesday that Arturo Rios Morales would be in De Soto. He was arrested after being implicated in a Jan. 9 sweep at Engineered Air near Kill Creek Road and 83rd Street.
Rios Morales was charged Wednesday with identity theft and is being held in custody with nine others connected to the ring, officials said.

(See Other Post Behind "Older Posts")
They include Benito Dominguez and Jose Dominguez, who are father and son. The two were charged with dealing in false identification. Benito Dominguez faces an additional charge of unlawful use of an identification card.
Charged with identification theft are Claudia Romero, Victor Alfonso Hernandez-Dominguez, Aristeo Cruz Benito, Ricardo Santos-Santos, Luis Gerardo Haro-Gonzalez, David Hernandez-Luna and Misael Cruz-Nicolas.
Deputy Tom Erickson, a spokesman for the Johnson County sheriff’s department, said all of those facing charges were employees at the company. Erickson said authorities think stolen identities were provided to illegal immigrants.
The company’s lawyer said Engineered Air was cooperating with authorities and was not involved in the identity-theft ring.

Border Agents Sentances Commuted by President Bush

WASHINGTON – In his final acts of clemency, President George W. Bush on Monday commuted the prison sentences of two former U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer ignited fierce debate about illegal immigration.
Bush's decision to commute the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who tried to cover up the shooting, was welcomed by both Republican and Democratic members of Congress. They had long argued that the agents were merely doing their jobs, defending the American border against criminals. They also maintained that the more than 10-year prison sentences the pair was given were too harsh.
Rancor over their convictions, sentencing and firings has simmered ever since the shooting occurred in 2005. The former border guards in El Paso, Texas, are expected to be released from prison within the next two months.

Homeland Security Nominee Vows to Crack Down on Businesses

Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs said she thinks Bush’s Department of Homeland Security did not enforce the law and that the department could not tell her office how many employers had been sanctioned in recent yearsArizona’s Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano told senators at her Wednesday confirmation hearing to be the next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security that she will enforce “the rule of law” when it comes to businesses that employ illegal aliens.

Kansas City mayor keeps budget proposal under wraps

Mayor Mark Funkhouser of Kansas City received the city manager’s budget proposal Thursday but refused to release it despite legal advice that it is a public record.

Although the document is not yet public, Kansas City police officials raised fears Thursday that they may have to lay off about 200 employees to meet a proposed cut of about $12 million to their funding. The city funds much of the police department’s costs, but the department is a state agency, so the city manager does not have direct control over how it manages its finances.
Police officials said the layoffs, which would include officers, would be a first in decades and possibly in department history. They said they had been told by the city about the budget recommendation earlier in the week.

They keep coming, get arrested and released.

Not all are cut loose, to be fair, it depends on the crime other than being an illegal alien; it seems if it's just for being here illegally they walk.

One department appears to be at least trying to enforce the law; Sheriff Frank Denning and the deputies of the Johnson County Kansas Sheriff's Department is an example of a group of law enforcement men and women committed to "The Rule Of Law".

(Sheriff Frank Denning)

We know of another police department in our area that's policy is not only to allow illegal aliens to walk but walk before they are arrested. Don't misunderstand, if an illegal or anyone else for that matter is apprehended after committing a crime they are taken in. Apparently someone in this department has made the decision to become a sanctuary city, at least it appears to be.

The company and its current and former managers were charged with harboring and employing illegal alien workers for a period of more than four years.
The company has avoided further criminal punishment apart from the $20.7 million settlement. However, its nine current and former managers and supervisors have pleaded guilty to several immigration-triggered felonies and misdemeanors. Four managers are awaiting trials.

Nine Arrested in Kansas for Identity Theft

By: Brad Cooper
Kansas City Star
January 13, 2008

Nine people charged in connection with an ID theft operation in De Soto will appear in court this afternoon.
Charged with ID theft are: Claudia Romero, 18, of Lawrence; Victor Alfonso Hernandez-Dominguez, 22, of Olathe; Aristeo Cruz Benito, 35, of Lawrence; Ricardo Santos-Santos, 45, of De Soto; Luis Gerardo Haro-Gonzalez, 21, of Olathe; David Hernandez-Luna, 29, of De Soto; and Misael Cruz-Nicolas, 21, of De Soto, authorities said.
Two others — Benito Dominguez and his son Jose — are charged with dealing in false identification, police said. Benito Dominguez, 45, of Olathe also is charged with unlawful use of a credit card.
The nine were arrested Friday, seven of them at Engineered Air near Kill Creek Road and 83rd Street in De Soto. Authorities said the company was not involved in the investigation.

Even those pesky squirrels are allowed in our back yard, not that they can be stopped; maybe I should have said they are welcome but not on top of the bird feeders. We will throw out leftovers that are favorite squirrel food on occasion and water year round for all our urban critters.






HOWEVER, up the post they may not go! I’ve attached a wire to the squirrel disinfrontagator (positive) and then connected it to a length of wire attached to plastic insulators running up and around the post. Another wire (negative) attached to a ground post and again up & around the post a couple of inches from the positive wire. The critters whom the seed is not intended, raccoons, squirrels, possums etc. get a small jolt when they attempt to scale the post. By touching both wires at the same time is enough for the biggest of these backyard residents to depart the post and not try again.
These Stealth Cam photos of birds (below) captured lots of sparrows & a pair of Cardinals along with something you may not have seen before; in the first photo is a blur coming in for a landing at the sunflower seed feeder, the second is a dove feeding and the third is the dove departing. We have never seen dove feeding anywhere except the ground, these photos prove they do.

A slight change of direction or how to attract invaders: These particular undocumented critters are welcome in most back yards, ours for sure.
During the remote “Stealth Cam” photography (tomorrow) we caught something that not until very recently we were aware of.
If you have a bird ‘feeding station’ you are most likely plagued by squirrels outsmarting you. I’ve heard that a PVC pipe put over the pole or whatever you use to mount your bird feeder works, I’ve never seen one but it might be useful, me, I’m having too much fun watching what happens when a foreign squirrel attempts to climb our cedar pole. That sounds funny but you’ll see.

Under a plastic bucket we have a squirrel disinfrontagator, (don’t look it up), plugged into an AC outlet at one end and attached to a shielded wire at the other. What is the shielded wire attached to you might ask?






Which is attached to;

Which is attached to etc. There’s also a ground post attached to a ground wire. More tomorrow, you’ll be amazed, (or not).

Well, next week is here and I'm trying REAL hard to come up with reasons to save the Kansas City Star. My wife says yes save the Star, where will she get the coupons & adds, how will we find out who died, who's divorcing and who not to vote for. Who not to vote for? Yep, who not to vote for.

Any candidate the Star endorses is suspect, I most likely will vote for the other guy or gal, (being political correct).

Maybe the Star leans a (little) too far left for most people that can read & think at the same time. In any case I'm still working on a plan for the Star's rise to its former self but getting past 2008's record of terminations or buy outs of something like 200 real people is hard to overcome. Speaking of correcting one's self; my wife reads the articles & comics too.

Illegal immigrants living in public housing raising eyebrows

By Elliot Spagat,

The Associated Press

01/01/2009
Untold thousands of illegal immigrants live in public housing at a time when hundreds of thousands of citizens and legal residents are stuck waiting years for a spot.Illegal immigrants make up a tiny portion of the 7.1 million people in federal housing, according to government statistics. But authorities may be unaware of thousands more, and critics say no illegal immigrant should get housing benefits.
The issue made headlines in November with news that Zeituni Onyango, an aunt of President-elect Barack Obama, was living in Boston public housing while in the country illegally.
The federal government, which funds the lion's share of the nation's public housing, requires only that illegal immigrants share a home with at least one family member who is in the country legally and pay their share of the rent.

Is Kansas City a Sanctuary City?

If you are a Kansas City Missouri resident or are employed within the city and you are Okay with paying two full time police officers with all their gear upwards of $100,000.00 a year to assist legal and illegal aliens with their employment and housing then theres no reason to read or link further.
