If you haven’t heard – and judging by the apathy with which it was received you may have missed it – there was a shooting in downtown Kansas City yesterday, following the Chiefs Super Bowl parade.
The bitter Lions fan in me can’t help but think: The Lions ALMOST made it to the Super Bowl. This could have happened in Detroit. But the truth is, the last 20 or so years have shown us that this can happen ANYWHERE. When did these attacks become so normalized? Do i even need to remind people of another mass shooting that happened 6 years ago on Valentine’s Day?
I don’t care why the shooter did it. I don’t want to hear about the 2nd Amendment. I don’t want to hear about how more cops are needed; there were 800 police officers covering the downtown area for the parade. I’m sick of hearing the right talk about and prayers. I’m sick of the left’s pleas for common sense gun laws falling on deaf ears. I’m just pissed.
At some point, there has to be a day of reckoning in this country. What’s it going to take? When NOTHING changed after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook almost 12 years ago, I knew the we were damned as a society. And until / unless we American learn to love each other – even more than we love our guns – THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: IT HAS BEEN ZERO DAYS SINCE OUR LAST MASS SHOOTING.
