Kansas City blues: Violent black mobs: Congressman Emanuel Cleaver tried to warn them: “All we are going to do is make a lot of black kids angry,” he said last summer when the city council in Kansas City extended the city’s curfew.
Cleaver, a Missouri Democrat, was right: This weekend the angry kids returned. So did the black mob violence the curfew was supposed to stop.
By now, locals know black mob violence at Country Club Plaza is a Kansas City tradition. Or even a rite of passage: Hundreds of black people go to the plaza and fight, destroy property, invade surrounding businesses, stop traffic, defy police, threaten tourists, get pepper sprayed, stay out past curfew, hurt people, blame it on the cops, then go home. And next week, or the week after, do it again.
