First, the events at the Chiefs celebration parade are despicable. Those responsible should never be allowed entry into society again.
The Kansas City Mayor's first action was to call for more laws. Like the laws regarding shooting people worked. Seems like the much vaunted "laws" failed us. I know, the perfect laws enacted by the best and brightest have yet to be penned. Kind of like Communism hasn't been tried by "the right people".
He also called for more Police Officers. I'm not anti-Police. There were 800+ Police Officers deployed to a 16 block parade route. Crazy dense deployment. If distributed evenly, that's 50 Police Officers per block, or 25 on each side of the street per block. In actuality the deployment was more dense closer to Union Station where the shooting took place. The Police did their job. They are not in place to protect the populace, only to investigate crimes once committed. More Police were not the answer either.
In my most cynical thoughts I have to say that the timing for this is really good if you are a proponent of gun control. The Supreme Court has been making a lot of pro-2A decisions lately and there are a couple more big cases on the docket. I'll go ahead and denounce myself. Rant complete.
PROG RELUCTANTLY BACK ON
This is an example of splendid gun control I witnessed while in Kampuchea. Note: No weapons belonging to loyal followers of Big Brother were subjected to this treatment.
I believe it was a demonstration of Progressive Values™ that the San Francisco 49ers let the Chiefs have "come from behind" victories in their last two Super Bowl meetings.
