Most night clubs and parties generally frisk you and check all bags before entry.

Most shootings are in the streets with illegal weapons by criminals with long rap sheets. Some are on out on probation, other were just released.

Obviously, as you stated, they chose a parade this time. Kansa City has a big gang problem.

The Kansas City area in general has been experiencing the usual big city crime including murder and drug dealing.

The murder rate for that area has been in the top 10 in the nation going back several years.

https://fox4kc.com/news/fbi-data-kan...-rates-in-u-s/

Fentanyl has impacted the area killing 850 since 2018. Setting aside the addiction issues this also means there are criminal drug dealers operating in the area which helps fuel the short fuse you dissed me culture among youth in particular.

Missouri is probably up there in single parent homes as well.

If this is teens and/or gang related it fits the profile along with the callousness.

I was watching CNN's anti gun take on the shooting. They had David Hogg " Lil' nazi" who hasn't been seen much since he went off to clown college.

Thanks for being so honest.

Hate to break it to you but we don't do "collective punishment" in the United States. Your actions don't affect my rights. See how simple it is when you take out the "collective" crap?

(Projection is an amazing thing) "We"? No. "YOU" can make that decision for yourself. You can't make it for me or anyone else.

Everything in that sentence is wrong, right down to your misuse of the word "literally."

Our founding principles are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. There's no hidden meaning or coded language. It was us telling the King why we were breaking away from Britain. Go read it and let me know where you find "genocide" or "enslavement" listed as goals which the King wasn't permitting us to reach.

Has anyone heard what prompted the shooting or what was the motivation of the shooter(s)?

Yes, Dems made Republicans give up on prosecution in red States like Missouri and Texas

Alternate logic is king

Probably a disagreement between two individuals, and bystanders paid the price.

The guy in handcuffs seemed to be in his 40s.

I think Mississippi and Louisiana have the higest, but Missouri is not far behind. Alabama is pretty bad too.

Hogg is 23 now, and a nationally recognized gun control activist and published author. You’ll hear more from him now that he’s graduated Harvard.
