Billsfanatic8989 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 33 minutes ago, coloradobillsfan said: When I lived in KC, someone a few blocks from me was shot in the face for refusing to give a handout to a panhandler at a bus stop. On New Years, there were so many guns firing into the air it sounded like firecrackers. KC can be a pretty dangerous city. St. Louis is bad too. Ditto Memphis. Is it a small city problem with nothing else to do? Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Why do we even report on gun violence anymore? Deaths from shootings are more common than motor vehicle deaths in the US at this point, so might as well start treating it the same. Not like anybody cares enough to try & make it better, so "thoughts & prayers" and stuff... Edited February 14 by BigDingus 3 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakout Squad Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The thought of ending someone’s life is unsettling and disturbing. People have to be some sort of ill to kill innocent people. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why you have strict laws and no cashless bail. 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful weather, and everyone was having a blast. Ridiculous that any dirtbag can walk into any place in America and start killing people, but here we are. We just have to make sure not to go crazy and actually do anything to prevent it from ever happening again.

The problem is we (as a culture) don't respect and love people the way we should. So that's what I try to do.

I think people use mental illness as a catch all to ignore the gun factor in shootings. I’d hate for mental illness to ruin things for all the gun people. I’m trying to lighten up a terrible situation, and get things back on track. Please people, let’s focus a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Applicable Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 This is 100% going to be a case of two idiots arguing over who "disrespected" the other one, then firing indiscriminately in each other's direction. They'll both have a ton of prior arrests, including felonies that make any ownership of any firearm illegal, and it will be swept under the rug like every other handgun homicide in this country that isn't politically expedient or helpful for certain narratives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
