Ok, I have to rant here a bit.
Donald Trump is coming into Kansas City Tonight.
The Championship game of the Big 12 is being hosted in Kansas City Tonight.
These 2 events occur within 1000 feet of each other at exactly the same time.
The Trump appearance at the Midland is scheduled for 6:00pm with the doors opening at 3:00pm. The Big 12 Championship is scheduled for 5:00pm but people will be down at the Power and Light District all day long before the game, during the game and after the game.
WHO THE HELL PLANS THIS STUFF ?
ARE THEY JUST TOTALLY INSANE ?
Here is a composite I put together from Google maps. The inset is an image from the Power and Light district during last year's Big 12. The crowds have seemed to be just as big this year as the tournament has been going on all week. In the Power and Light district the beer and booze will be flowing freely while 500 feet away crowds of Trump supporters and Trump protesters will be gathering.
This is what the Power and Light district looked like during the 2015 Big 12 tournament:
WILL KANSAS CITY SURVIVE THIS?
I usually have a great amount of faith in my Kansas City neighbors. We are usually a fairly neighborly and polite city but not always. I hope we can make it through this with out the stuff that Chicago and St. Louis experienced.
Me, I am staying as far away as I can.
