The only thing more American than the Super Bowl is a mass shooting.

parade was a target of opportunity I suppose?

Knowing the way shit is in KC, probably just a couple of crackhead assholes with guns who got in an argument and couldn’t be fucked about the collateral damage.

I was thinking about going down to the parade today. Glad I stayed home instead.

Based on it happening in a parking garage out of the way I'm assuming it was some (probably drunk) idiots fighting each other. I didn't go to union station this year, but last year everyone was fucked up, and shit would get rowdy at the edges.

Naturally There's people in this thread ready to jump on a tragedy to push their theories onto it. Nobody wants to wait and see what the actual cause was, and since we have two of them in custody we will know what it was about.
