For those who comment, we salute you …

It’s been a nasty, bad week in (and out of) Kansas City, and this week’s featured comment reflects the sad state of our city. This comment — which is also a plea for help — was left by Shanae Gibbs on “Killa City: KCMO homicide No. 66, James Ragsdale dies from injuries sustained in weekend shooting.”

I really miss my brother and will struggle with this loss for awhile. The community is tired of the violence within our on community and it needs to stop. The innocent suffers, the family is only left with the memories and the guilty goes free. Any information in this case is useful, names, numbers, etc… Please those involved and/or those with critical information for once in your lives stand up! James Ragsdale wasn’t just a name that you heard, he was a father, employee, son, role model, brother, friend, business owner and future husband. Please don’t let him be just another unsolved murder. It stops when we stop it. Have you done something good for your community lately? 474-TIPS.

Be good to each other this weekend.
