Gang Violence & Downtown Ballpark, Leaders Can’t Say Truth, Fani Willis Case Falls Apart, Self Gets Defensive, Caitlin Clark’s Bogus Record

   When you have a mayor and police chief that can't say the word "gang" at a news conference and shut down reporters who ask about it, you have no chance fixing our city's real problem.  That shooting Wednesday WAS what KC is.  There just happened to be hundreds of thousands of people around.  It happened at Crown Center a few weeks ago, heck, there was another shooting during the parade a few blocks away that nobody is talking about.   Now, my inbox if filled with people that think a downtown ballpark is the worst idea they've ever heard.  Will that stick or will it fade?  More importantly, why can't we get serious about a criminal behavior crackdown on gang members running around with illegal guns?

  In Georgia, Fani Willis and her case against Donald Trump turns into a Saturday Night Live sketch.

  In sports, KU coach Bill Self spent the week coaching defense, defense, defense with his road struggling Jayhawks.  They expect a full roster of players as they visit Norman, Ok Saturday.

   Iowa star Caitlin Clark set a bogus record Thursday night but only needs a couple more games to get the legitimate scoring record and Tiger Woods is a shankapotomous.
