Police have stated that there were a number of fights, the deployment of Bear Spray, and a recovered firearm during the evening at Lee’s Summit’s downtown days.
The Lee’s Summit Police Department sent out a call for assistance as the number of incidents increased at the Lee’s Summit Day’s event in downtown Lee’s Summit. It started around 7:40pm when a Juvenile deployed Bear Spray, exposing numerous people in the crowd. In a separate incident, officers said they recovered a firearm following a chase involving a juvenile. LSPD reported that several juveniles were detained during the evening and later released to a guardian.
This was all despite the Lee’s Summit Police Department coordinating event organizers and working out several proactive safety and security measures with event organizers, including:
- Increased police staffing
- Layout adjustments to improve crowd flow
- Camera trailers and additional lighting
- Increased private security
- Reduced event hours
- Adjustments to carnival size, focusing on rides for children under 12
It is time to crack down … to get tough on criminal behavior … regardless of the age of the people who take part in these random acts of violence and other criminal behavior. Put simply, today’s youth are NOT afraid of reprocussions. They have the opinion that nothing serious is going to happen to them. And when they are caught and they are issued a suitable punishment, the community, their friends and family, all stand up and scream ‘unfair’ and even declare that it’s systemic racism.
So, now for the part people are not going to like …
It’s time to crack down on youth criminals and trouble makers. If you know a teacher, talk to them about the problems they are having with the students in their schools. No discipline. No reprocussions for bad acts on their part. They can, they do, get away with just about anything they decide to do, and they know it. Administrators are not going to kick trouble makers out of school when they are paid to have those student in seats every day regardless. Parents don’t hold their children accountable for their actions. They cut them loose and pray that they come home at the end of hte day. No discipline, and if a parent decides to try to discipline their child, they often find out that Child Protective Services will intervene, and they will get in trouble for trying to discipline their children. It’s time for the courts to take strict and firm action. No more slaps on the hands for crimes like spraying people with Bear Spray. For public fighting.
Businesses and Events: Yuo need to figure out how to make your businesses or events safe. No one wants to go to a shopping mall or center, or even a store if they have to worry about becoming a victim of a crime or having to deal with unruly youth or even adults. You cannot get your businesses or events under control, but you can take the time to give in to the liberal agenda and tell people that htey cannot carry a concealed weapon in order to provide what could be necessary protection.
Blacklisted: I will not do business with any retailer of which is located at:
- Independence Center
- Independence Commons
- Oak Park Mall
- Any place of which posts “no guns” for their location
The reasons are simple. They have a strict policy stating that the law abiding citizens who enter their property cannot have on their person a weapon of ANY KIND. They leave the people who have money to spend unarmed, unable to defend themselves, in an environment of which is lacking in adequately trained security personnel. Do you honestly believe that the criminals are not ignoring the rules and carrying firearms and weapons into these gun-free zones?
For a moment, let’s imagine what Santa-Cali-Gon Days are going to be like in Independence this Labor Day weekend. Personally, I will not be planning on attending any of the events in Independence. I can almost guarantee that while prohibiting firearms at the event, there will be incidents that will involve firearms again this year.
