Shooting at KC Chiefs Parade

[K_W]

CBS reporting shooting was "criminally related".

Heard this on foxnews. My thoughts on any of the types of gunman in a crowd is that there are a bunch of cowards. Back in the day, those near a gunman would have pounced on the person fast to protect those around. These days, everyone for themselves and to hell with the rest.

It appears there were a couple of locals that tackled them.

CBS reporting shooting was "criminally related".

They certainly have a firm grasp of the obvious.

Looks like a couple of good old boys tackled him… will that be a hate crime?

Which mahomies family member was it this time?

 

[JCSR]

The very same thing happens all the time at the World Chess Championship parade. MSM won't report it of course.

Looks as if the left is starting their pre election shooting program early this time.

This is why we can't have anything nice.

I just like the part where they pin him and give him a couple close punches to the head. Tackle was nice too.

I think I speak for many when I say, "WELL DUH!!"

Yeah, I was driving thru KC today (crawling, actually) in my semi.
People were parking on the access ramps, which soon turned to randomly abandoning their cars on the highway, and walking to the parade route and stage, evoking an unending supply of curse words, on my part.
About an hour after I passed the route heard the first reports on the radio. Initial reports noted 15 to 20 shots, exchanged by two parties.
One deceased, twenty two wounded, including at least 9 children (under 14) and several more "minors" (could be kids, could be up to 17 yrs old).
3 men in custody, and the nine little kids are all expected to recover.
They haven't yet specified if the "22 injured" were all gunshot victims, or were hurt in the stampede for the exits.
All accounts say the police response was immediate and overwhelming. 800 uniformed officers on site, also FBI, ATF, snipers on rooftops, plus aerial overwatch.They were streaming into the area and Union Station, leading people out, or directing them to shelter in place in the building.

At this hour, the local news media is still talking nonstop and hysterically, repeating themselves over and over. Many "a!most Diehard" reports of "Sadly, now Kansas City has joined the unfortunate list of cities suffering a terrorist attack mass shooting".
Hell, 4 years ago they had a guy walk into a bar and dump 14 people on the floor. Short memories.
Of course, the anti-gun rhetoric is at full song.
Best foot-in-mouth I've heard, so far, is the guy who said " I'm so tired of guns, there's too many people in this state who think they need a gun to protect themselves.......you don't. We're all just glad for the police presence and response". What did he think the police were gonna use to protect him?

BTW, what’s a Glock switch sound like?

I’d imagine pretty similar to a Glock 18 :shrug:

Can think of better shields than her.
