I am shocked, shocked! (which is to say I am not shocked at all, nor the least bit surprised) that gunfire broke out as Wednesday’s Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City and rally was just winding down. Although, as of now, there has been no definitive word about the perpetrators or their motivation, there have been rumors that the incident began with an argument between persons attending the event. If so, it’s a byproduct of the actions, policies, and attitudes of the city’s “leaders.”
The climate of crime and murder in Kansas City, Missouri, has been fostered by the city’s so-called leaders, who for years have pandered to and even celebrated the “gangsta rap” mentality that violence and gunplay are viable ways of dealing with conflict.
Nothing points this out better than how the city has fêted a particular gangsta rapper, “KC’s own” Tech N9ne. This so-called “artist,” whom I wrote about in 2013, named himself after the submachinegun-style handgun that “gangstas” think is just too cool (even if they can obtain only the semi-automatic version). In that article, I took then-mayor Sly James to task for presenting Tech N9ne as a role model for the city’s youth; my article included some of the vile lyrics that have made Tech N9ne rich and famous. I’ll repeat them here in only slightly expurgated fashion:

What will they do when the SNAP cards don’t work anymore?
Travis the ape was too drunk to stand up. Again
Reason #2,733 to ignore professional and college team sports
very sad day for my beloved Kansas City..... Living here the last 43 years it was to be a great day of celebration.
Strange that they have not charged the shooter yet..... what is the deal.
Sadly Kansas City proper is a decaying city. the inner city is dangerous. Stay away from Midtown, Crown Center and the Country club plaza.
That is why Johnson County Kansas is the place to be.
(the “gangsta rap” mentality)
And our culture continues to degrade.
You really need to seek help
Is Travis your drunk ape buddy?
Your buddy is so screwed up he doesn’t even know people are being murdered because he’s a drunk dumbass
The culture in the black community is poisonous, and no one cares, certainly not the leaders in the black community. It is the cause of 90% of crime in this country. Taking guns away from the law abiding would only increase the number of crimes in the country. Until the black community is ready to heal itself, there is nothing to be done except arm up.
“Travis Kelce is too drunk to SPEAK and has to be held up by his teammates on stage at Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade”
That’s your buddy
When deciding whether a city has a future, the only question needed is, “Is it run by DemocRATs?”
The latin gangs are going to give the black gangstas some competition for the worst of the worst.
When I heard it was “teens in an argument” I needed to know nothing more.
So is he a happy drunk or mean drunk? I guess Reid and/or Swift can tell us.
Reporters can classify the perpetrators’ ages but not their races?
We aren’t supposed to talk about toxic black inner city ghetto culture. If we say anything, we may be charged with being racist by liberals.
We are allowed to freely discuss here on Free Republic, and among other conservatives, but this is a taboo subject elsewhere.
The mainstream media and politicians are already starting the gun control debate based on this event. But nothing has been said about the toxic culture of those who shot innocent people.
He’s the “I need attention” drunk who enjoys acting like a monkey to get it
When I read that KC has a black mayor and a white female chief of police I realized that I have no reason to ever visit there.
