That "pool" on when the 100th homicide in KC would be?

Fugghedaboudit.

Apparently, anyway.

It can't be confirmed yet but a guy in town on business from Tulsa was on the Plaza last night, got in a fight, apparently, and has died.  The police and coroner are still trying to decide if it was his health or some aspect of the fight that killed him.

So we may already have our 100th homicide for the year here in town.  Stay tuned.

If it wasn't last night, unfortunately, the odds are far too strong that we'll likely get this next ugly statistic down by Sunday evening, at latest, sadly.

Dear Mr. Kevin: Thanks for posting!! My own sources have told me that the city is frantic to hold down the homicide totals for 2010--so here is my fearless prediction: The authorities will do everything they can to avoid classifying this as a homicide. A homicide for a visiting businessman is particularly unpalatable for the city's elites: Not good for attracting conventions. And, the loser? The family and friends of the dead man who want the truth about what happened to their loved one. To the city's political class, these family and friends are "expendable"--just the way to the DC political class dead and injured US soldiers in the unnecessary Iraq War are "expendable." Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
