I'm not going to get too butt hurt over that cartoon.
I certainly wouldn't have published it, but I have no way of defending the shit hole that the east side has become and it's hard to argue that that shit hole in particular isn't affecting the whole city. This conflict just happened to raise its ugly head at a high profile event that people actually cared about and during a time when a lot of city officials are trying to jam a new ballpark into an area many fans have concerns about. They didn't give a shit when they swept the 100+ bad actions under the KC rug last year. Most of them just rolled the counter back to 0 and tried to ignore it. Maybe the event, and perhaps even the cartoon, will lead to someone actually attempting to correct the real issues that have been allowing the east side to smear shit all over the walls of KC for far too long, but I doubt it.
