I wonder if this is just the usual random mass shooting, perhaps by someone who had too much to drink and grabbed his assault rifle to show ‘em, or the action of one of the 18% of Americans who believe that the Kansas Chiefs/Taylor Swift are part of a conspiracy by the liberal baby adrenochrome 5G vaccine space laser lizard people to keep America from being Made Great Again.

There were very fine people on both sides.

No, those people seem "stable."

I think we should wait to learn more about the shooter before making silly assumptions. Just as likely it could be gang related as it is some right wing gun nut.

This needs to be said?

My immediate reaction was that it was some knucklehead with some beef with an exgirlfriend or offensive TikTok.

Edit: Oh, look at that...

Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl rally shooting stemmed from personal dispute

We like to shoot each other in the USA.

Oh yeah and that was just Kansas City on the Missouri side, I had to spend a lot of time filtering out Kansas City on the Kansas side mass shootings. So it's really only one half of the city.

If I did this for the whole US I'd die of old age.

The second amendment demands its blood sacrifice!

We can't have one nice day, can we?

The good news is the sun will run out of hydrogen. Eventually.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

That makes me feel much better. Thanks.

Can we schedule that for like next week?

It's the guns, stupid. Strange that the country with the most unregulated firearms also has the highest rate of general shootings of all makes and models.

It's like being in a cold place and not expecting ice.

When kids can’t play nice with their toys… what do you do?

In America, you let them have even more toys and tell them that they can do whatever the fuck they want because they’re perfect little angels!

Not guessing at all.

They just said it was related to a “personal dispute”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Aren't all intentional shootings personal?

"Nothing personal, I'm going to shot you now. Sorry, really didn't mean anything by it."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That’s certainly one way to interpret what was said.
