Here's a bit more proof that hard feelings in the aftermath of the divisive election season still persist on Kansas City streets.
Fox4: Man attacked at Plaza bus stop says teens asked him political question before throwing punches
Deets . . .
The attack happened this weekend at a bus stop near J.C. Nichols Parkway and Ward Parkway, which is just a stone’s throw away from a corner of Plaza.
“I was on the Plaza and I thought it was safe, you know?” said the victim, “The Plaza is usually a safe spot. I haven’t had any problems down there before.”
He wasn't wearing anything that displayed his political affiliation. Yet for some reason, this group of six teens picked him out of the people waiting for the bus and got in his face.
“It was only one guy that was the main instigator,” the victim recalled. “He came right up to me and said, ‘Who did you vote for?’”
The response: “‘I didn't vote for anybody,’ because I didn’t,” he said. . .
He said the teens, both girls and guys, started punching and kicking him – sending him to the hospital with bumps, bruises and soreness.

There was one arrest of a 15-year-old after the attack. There's no indication the youngster was affiliated with any local polling firm BUT there's a pretty good chance this tragic episode is connected to so many recent and unprovoked teen attacks on, in and around the Plaza during 2016.
