Kansas City businesses are getting crushed by out-of-control crime while city leaders fiddle. Mom-and-pop shops face nightly break-ins, smashed windows, and stolen property as progressive policies leave cops handcuffed and criminals running wild. Hardworking Americans who built these businesses now watch their dreams get destroyed.
Heather White’s Enchante Bakery got hit so many times she almost quit. “Should I just sell it?” she asked after thieves kept targeting her store. Her staff of 50 loyal workers is the only reason she hasn’t walked away. This is the brutal reality—patriots clinging to hope while city hall offers empty promises.
Mayor Quinton Lucas threw $1 million at off-duty cops like a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. His “Back to Business” fund doled out peanuts—$70,000 for 30 businesses while 111 stores got hit in ONE MONTH last fall. Stores like Sagebrush Cocktail Bar and Garden House Cafe board up windows weekly. Cash registers ripped out. Guns waved in broad daylight.
At a heated public safety meeting, business owners blasted soft-on-crime politicians. One owner warned the Crossroads District—once thriving—could become “boarded-up buildings.” City leaders shrug and talk about “long-term solutions” while criminals loot today. The World Cup’s coming, but tourists will find a warzone instead of a welcoming city.
Jordan Fox’s Garden House Cafe got cleaned out by thugs who took every dollar. He’s fed up after eight years serving his community. Christopher Ciesiel’s cocktail bar got hit twice in one weekend—criminals even stole an EMPTY register just to terrorize him. These aren’t “petty crimes.” This is warfare on small businesses.
The city’s answer? Fill out paperwork for $3,000 reimbursements and wait months. Business owners need cops on beats, not grant applications. They need DA’s who prosecute, not coddle. They need leaders who back the blue instead of blaming “systemic issues” while stores burn.
Austin Morris is trying to save Enchante’s cafe by rebranding it Soli Deo—a last-ditch prayer for safety. But hiring security teams shouldn’t fall to entrepreneurs. Where’s the mayor’s emergency plan? Where’s the surge in patrols? Kansas City’s silent, and criminals are laughing.
This is the progressive playbook—defund police, empty jails, and watch America’s backbone crumble. Every boarded window, every closed shop, every scared family proves leftist policies sacrifice law and order for woke fantasies. Patriots built this city. It’s time to take it back.
