Huh? He was involved with a group aimed at reducing violence... and he's claiming to have robbed ~3 people per DAY, for around 400 victims? This makes no sense.

I'm sick of crazy and mean people. This world has a population problem as it is (IMO). Less people and I'd star with people like this! Buh-bye!

Is it true or is he lying? Shooting 400 people would mean medical records for most if not all of them?

I just cannot believe that 400 people could be shot and 1000 robbed within one year by one person without anyone noticing. Kansas City is not *that* big! Guessing it's a mental health issue....

BBM. That would make him only 12/13 at the time of him starting these crimes. If he didn’t get caught for the 2022 incident, then no telling how many more would have fallen to his prey. Thank goodness he was caught, sadly after so many alleged victims (which appears to have some sort of truth to it). Even IF only 1 of the many that he shot had died, they better lock him up for life. He is definitely a danger to society. Someone capable of this at such a young age will only become more bold and aggressive in their crimes. MOO
