And the Beat Goes on.............

 1 Dead - the DJ at the event if I understand correctly.- Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a Kansas City-area radio DJ, died after being shot at the Chiefs victory rally, according to a post shared by her employer, KKFI radio 90.1 FM...  and 21 more wounded. Children are among the ones that were  shot.  3 people are in custody as the shooters... 

This is from one news outlet:

"Three people were detained as officers converged on the scene, according to Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves, who added that guns were recovered at the scene but didn’t specify how many. No charges had been announced as of Wednesday night and no suspects had been named.

As the investigation gets underway, several unanswered questions remain: how many people opened fire during the event, how many shots were fired and what motivated the violence that turned a day of celebration into a tragedy.“We do not have a motive, but we are asking those who may potentially have any kind of information, a witness or video, to contact police,” the police chief said at a Wednesday news conference.

The shooting marked the latest setting where Americans saw a sense of safety punctured by gun violence, following shootings at churchesschoolsgrocery stores, outlet malls and other locations. The violence Wednesday was at least the 48th mass shooting in the United States so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which like CNN defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more people are shot, not including the shooter."

We are not safe anywhere.  It is a matter of statistics that a shooting of this nature may or may not involve you or your loved ones....  and Be Prepared to hear the same Nonsense Bull Shit about any kind or Control on the Weapons used in this attack,.. In Fact this is the Missouri gun law  - 

So - you can buy and possess a gun of any type , and caliber with no training, no background check , no nothing,,, and then go shoot up a public gathering ... yea  - so let's not pretend that they = - and missouri is only the latest place - give a Shit about the public, the children. This in a state wher ethe y care so much about children that any - ANY abortion is banned and they have what is considered the MOST Restrictive abortion laws in the Country.  SO - Do NOT fucking tell me you care about the Children - it has nothing to do with the Children you assholes ! 


The Mass Shooting data from 2023 is this - and Mass Shooting is 4 or more.

By the numbers: There were 656 mass shootings in 2023.

  • That's up from 647 mass shootings in 2022 but down from a record 689 in 2021, data from the research group shows.
  • 2023 saw an 8-10% overall decrease in deaths and injuries from gun violence, per GVA. There were 42,987 gun violence deaths last year.
  • That's down from 47,430 the previous year.

Meanwhile, there were 36,366 injuries in 2023, down from 38,578 injuries in 2022.

 And we are off to banner year in 2024 -  with 46 mass shootings,  98 dead and 121 wounded,,, and this is only the 15th of February !!  


The NRA has a choke hold on the Politicians in this country and NOTHING will change as long as they - and every other Lobby Group is allowed to contribute massive amounts of Money to political campaigns in this country.
