1 dead, 21 others wounded in shooting following Chiefs Super Bowl celebration rally, officials say | CNN
One person died and 21 others were wounded at a city Super Bowl victory rally Wednesday and three people are in custody, Kansas City officials said, after gunfire shattered a joyous afternoon as a massive crowd celebrated the Chiefs latest NFL title.
As soon as I saw the right wing conspiracy theories about KC winning, I knew something was going to happen if they won. It's such a sad state we're in when a sporting event is politicized.
Sounds like it was a dispute between a handful of teens. Why these dumbasses decided to bang it out with all those people and cops around is beyond me.
Nothing can be done, says only nation where this happens regularly.
If there are no sharks, there are no shark fatalities.
It's not the only nation where this happens regularly.
Well, it is the USA after all. It is no good American party without some gun action, it seems.
Republicans fought against gun control legislation, they did nothing after Sandy Hook Elementary.
Republicans did nothing after Sandy Hook Elementary.
Republicans did nothing after 20 children aged six to seven years old were gunned down with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Republicans will continue to do nothing.
Just remember, if you’re ever caught in the crossfire, thank a Republican. If you survive.
You want to live? You want to let your children go to school without worrying about them being killed by a mass shooter? You want to go to the grocery store and come back home alive? STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS!!!!!! It is literally that fucking easy.
Carry on.
In a Reddit thread about this, someone got so mad when I pointed out they were wrong about the Sandy Hook shooter owning his guns, even though that'a a critical piece to implementing saner gun control: checks on the purchaser would have accomplished nothing here, as his mother bought the guns. You'd need to take a different approach, like free public mental health care (or repealing the second amendment, but that's much harder). One of the first steps toward even attempting saner gun control laws here is working out what's going wrong. shaking my head
Anyway. You are right, but not right enough. We need people like Bernie Sanders in charge if you want to see meaningful change in gun control.
I think it's more fruitful to address why people go on killing sprees instead of trying to prohibit the tools that they use.
To this day, it doesn't make sense for someone living in rural America to be against gun ownership because they have to rely on themselves for their own protection.
That said, there are legitimate arguments to be made for allowing cities to ban gun ownership.
Yeah, not really news is it?
How many shootings now this year already?
Some 75 people have been killed and 140 have been injured in the 44 mass shootings from Jan. 1 to Feb. 12, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which considers a mass shooting an incident in which at least four people, not including the shooter, are injured or killed.
But don't worry. Mass shootings stans will go, "Well askually it's not a mass shooting because..." So the number depends on if the person
Very sad to see.
