My Take On 64130 aka The Kansas City Murder Factory
Like many Kansa citians I’ve been reading The Kansas City Star’s article on 64130 aka The Murder Factory.  This article has been especially significant to me since I live in the zip code 64131 which isn’t all that far away.
For those of you outside of Kansas City who’ve never heard of the now infamous zip code 64130 this short excerpt from Tony Rizzo’s article will bring you up to speed.
Its eight square miles, straddling Brush Creek downstream from the Country Club Plaza, is home to 101 convicted murderers incarcerated in Missouri prisons.
No other ZIP code in Kansas City, St. Louis or any other part of the state comes close. Though its 26,000 residents make up about 6 percent of the city’s population, it accounts for 20 percent of Kansas Citians in prison for murder or voluntary manslaughter.
If society set out to design an assembly line for producing killers, it’s hard to imagine a model any more efficient than what exists inside its boundaries, stretching from 39th to 63rd streets and bordered by Woodland and Topping avenues. It has become a murder factory that spans generations.
