I have talked to 2 people who claim they 'know someone' who was in the area of the shooting but when I ask them how many people they get fuzzy.
My son works as an usher for the Chiefs and was working in the VIP area on the west side when this all went down. Didn't see anything but was helping people get over the barricades to get INTO Union Station, when he was told there was shooting IN Union Station, which ended up not being true. Said mass confusion and even the police didn't know what was going on at first. Lots of wrong info early on in these kinds of stories.
After he called to say he was OK I tuned into KCTV5 as a friend told me they were livestreaming. Reporters said they heard this was a 'dispute between 2 groups' and this was around 4PM. KCPD press conference was not until 5 PM and even then they said, no details, 'active investigation'. So where did KCTV5 get their information?
#Chiefsparade was trending on Twitter, and lots of pictures of people in handcuffs, although that happens in every parade. Does not mean they were the shooters. Five days in, we still have no names or details. Hiding behind 'minors' as an excuse. Bottom line for me, I don't buy the 'argument' narrative. I smell a rat and suspect we will never get the truth.
I think quentin lucas "let it be known" to specific people that a "shooting might be a good thing at the parade" for political reasons. Someone will have to have some VERY hard data showing otherwise before that thought will go away.
I think the over-arching narrative is, let crime get out of control - don't prosecute criminals, hamstring the police, and sit back and wait for mayhem. At some point it will get bad enough, and the sheep will start bleating for the government to 'do something'. If you look at the comment feeds on the MSM sites, 'guns' are being blamed. Like these gang bangers had legal guns in the first place....I am not sure Mayor Q is even the mastermind, he spends a lot of time in DC, and is likely just the messenger.
AGREED!
