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

BigDingus Posted February 14 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
Breakout Squad Posted February 14 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

Not like anybody cares enough to try & make it better, so "thoughts & prayers" and stuff... Probably illegal guns anyway. Looks like a shootout between gang members with people shot in the crossfire. That’s why you have strict laws and no cashless bail. 1 2 2 1

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. Glad you're ok Billl, sad times we are living in 1 1

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. What else can I do ya know. 1

That's the thing about the world today. I really wish a shooting like this would take me by shock. But after so many incidents and so many years of it...I've just become numb to it all. 1
