I wonder if the media ever reported the REAL reason the Rod Kush mansion went on the auction block?


Well, at least he did not gun people in the street like they do up North "O" way.

Let me guess though, because some random guy does a smash and grab on a gas station in Midtown, it's a bad area and should be avoided. When it happens in West Omaha, it's just an anomaly, right?
I am not saying that west O has no crime, just less of it.

Thats just a stereotype, not everyone up there is a criminal or gang member, a lot aren't.

Right. He just provided a bunch of booze for a huge under-aged party, then sent kids out to drive home after they were inebriated. He helped them be well on their way to a life of irresponsible behavior and/or alcoholism. He also helped a whole bunch of snot-nosed punks think that they really do live above the law.

You're right. That's MUCH better.

And that's why he's out of business. Or maybe a factor contributing to it.

Sure it is. For one, you have his sheer stupidity displayed in trying to play hard-ball with Warren Buffett. Then he spent millions of dollars on legal fees.

It was kind of inevitable.
