Just like #ChiefsKingdom has always been there for me and my family, we want to be there for them.❤️
The @Chiefs have launched #KCStrong, an emergency response fund supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders.… pic.twitter.com/sYMnPgCWL0
Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. [Reply]

Welcome to a typical day in pretty much any major city. [Reply]

Honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often [Reply]

I'd be a lot more likely to go to a celebration at the stadium.
While I didn't expect a shooting, this is exactly the kind of chaos that has kept me from ever going to one of those things. It's just too damn many people in a maelstrom and stuff like that is just a bad mix. [Reply]

Agree with that. Especially with kids.
It doesn’t have to be a shooting for it to be a regrettable experience. [Reply]

No idea the appeal of taking myself, much less my kids, to an overpacked event like this full of people using it as an excuse to drink excessively. [Reply]

I don't make it to KC often. I was watching a cop show the other day when they said Kansas City was the meth capital of the world. That surprised me. I do agree that I think all cities are getting bad. Fortunately I am not a big parade fan so I end up avoiding all the problems. [Reply]
