There seems to be a common element in all of these mass shootings. Whatever might it be?

The shooting occurred in a small bar called Tequila KC.

See, tequila and video games don’t mix.

Attorney Andrew Bakaj tells me his legal team is representing MULTIPLE officials who will be making disclosures to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. He says “No further comment at this time.”

Two Hispanic shooters, nine Hispanic victims. Local PD investigating a man that was kicked out earlier in the evening, possibly for trying to start a fight. Not, emphasis NOT racially motivated according to witnesses and local PD.

Although, witness statements at a bar at 130am tend to be a little cloudy and inconsistent.

Also RIP Ginger Baker.

"Baker’s family said on Twitter that he died Sunday: “We are very sad to say that Ginger has passed away peacefully in hospital this morning.”

Clearly they’re teaching way too much evolutionary biology in KC schools.

Meh, as a local, if you’d have asked me the most likely location of a mass shooting, that neighborhood would have been high on the list.

Four dead in Saturday night/Sunday morning shootings, that’s a routine night for the area. We don’t get a lot of notice for it, but KC ranks very high on the most dangerous cities list.

It may not have been “racially motivated” but it was “firearm enabled.”

Chilling and horrifying.

Is it too far to say that this was terrorism? The message seems clear - “you rat on our cop friends, you die.”

Not talking about the shooting which is bad. I was responding to the 2nd and more whistle blowers coming forward.
