Entire news networks are dedicated to spreading the lie that America is weak,
spreading the lie that the U.S. military is not the strongest in the world. Those are lies.

The hatred for America continues from the extreme MAGA Trumpers.
Why do they hate America? Why do they fly their flags upside-down?

One sick man says, "Let’s keep the southern border in chaos for another year," and says, "You can blame me."

Okay, Donald, I’m blaming you. Because we had a solution for the southern border, and you said no.
Donald Trump says,
"Keep the fentanyl flooding in for another year.
Keep the illegal immigrants flooding in for another year.
Keep the humanitarian crisis growing for another year,
making the lives of people who live on the border — a living hell."

Border Patrol, the men and women who put their lives on the line every day and are fighting an unwinnable
battle right now because they’re not getting the resources they need from politicians in Washington, D.C.
They beg Republicans to pass this bill. What do Republicans tell them? "Drop dead."

Republicans have abandoned their patriotism and complain about the U.S.'s economic success

The media is really slow rolling the identity and motives of the KC parade shooters. Whatever happened, we know it doesn't fit any approved narratives, other than "guns bad."

Or, of course, the very opposite is happening:

shooting near Chiefs parade
CNN

Police are working to figure out who opened fire and why after they say one person was killed and more than 20 wounded at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory rally Wednesday, sending fans in red jerseys running for cover as law enforcement swarmed the area, confetti still blowing in the wind.

You obviously have some ideas about what really happened, and you obviously don't think those ideas fit any "approved narratives," whatever that means.

So enlighten us.

Having worked in downtown Kansas City my best guess is that somebody saw someone they didn't like and decided to shoot at them.

It is amusing how everyone plays, "babes in the woods" and suddenly has no clue how the media operates when it is ideologically convenient. The media always has necessary information pretty much right away. IF it is a ideologically convenient narrative they want to report, they negotiate with the local authorities for a short time frame before they start doing stories and releasing details. This is often a very short time frame of hours.

If it is a story they dont really want to cover for ideological reasons, they will let the authorities take all the time they want, and wait for things to die down so the story can be buried.

The fact there is no information being released almost a day later tells us a lot. But yeah, you go ahead and "believe" everyone is just doing their due diligence to get the facts right before reporting what happened.

Multiple gun men and rifles involved would indicate some sort of gang turf war or possibly terrorism. Probably the former given it is Kansas City.

Kansas City obviously has the unfortunately distinction of being a progressive pro-crime city in a Republican pro gun ownership state, and the obvious pathologies one would expect from such a combination. Worst of both worlds.

They're calling it a personal dispute.

This is definitely a "babe in the woods' theory on how things work in the real world.

I mean in europe when the suspect of any heinous crime that just happened is white they (MSM) tell that in the headline everytime, when it's an immigrant they tell it far later and only in the article text, that's well known by everyone

Teenagers appear to have been involved and there appear to have been multiple shooters. It could have been a gang dispute that happened to explode during this event. It could have been a preexisting personal dispute that had nothing to do with gangs. Or it could have been a random fight between teenagers who happened to be carrying weapons, although that seems less likely.

Either way, I don't know why you think the media would be reluctant to report on that aspect of the story. A crime obviously was committed. It is hardly unusual for the media to attribute crime to gang activity or teenagers. I'd say it is closer to a time-honored tradition than a no-fly zone.

Yep. Also, any male victim under 20 is a "boy" and any male perpetrator over 15 is a "man".

I think if you're talking about party leadership then yes. I think if you're talking grassroots then you'll find more flag burners voting D.

Yeah. I wouldn't say the Democrat Party hates America. I would say broadly the Democratic coalition has more members that promote such rhetoric*, and the party itself is mostly agnostic towards this rhetoric coming from their side.

*It should be noted that many (most?) of the left-oriented people preaching anti-American rhetoric are some of the most productive, important people in actually perpetuating the American empire. It is not like Ivy League SJP members are graduating and joining ISIS or Hamas. They are getting high paying jobs that support the system and pay their taxes.

It's been a week, correct?


Published on February 20th:

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE PARADE SHOOTING SUSPECTS?
Two adults, Lyndell Mays of Raytown and Dominic M. Miller of Kansas City, were charged with second-degree felony murder. According to the prosecutor, Mays allegedly got into an argument with a stranger and eventually pulled his gun, prompting others, including Miller, to do the same.


They were also each charged with two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

Two teens were charged with gun-related and resisting arrest offenses in Jackson County family court. Suspects’ names are not released in family court. Depending on the severity of the charges, the youths could be tried as adults.
