We wouldn’t want to blame the perpetrators committing murder and attempted murder (they’re illegal, right?) when this mostly occurs in Democrat run cities, right?
“Not again”: Beto O’Rourke mourns gun violence in Kansas City and calls for end to shooting epidemic
Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, a former congressman from Texas, tweeted “not again” when he learned about a shooting in Kansas City, Kansas that left four people dead and five others injured.
“Not again,” O’Rourke tweeted on Sunday morning. “I visited Kansas City in August—and everyone I met was warm, generous, and welcoming. My heart is with all who are impacted by this tragedy. Together, communities like ours, which have been victims of gun violence, will lead the way in ending this epidemic.”
The shooting discussed by O’Rourke occurred at the Tequila KC bar in Kansas City on Saturday night, according to CNN. The incident left four people dead including a man in his late 50s, a man in his mid-30s and two other men in their mid-20s, all of whom were Hispanic. Five others were injured at the shooting, with two having been released from the hospital as of Sunday morning.
Police spokesman Thomas Tomasic said investigators believe “possibly two suspects that entered” the bar and began shooting. They also said that, when it comes to the motivation behind the incident, they “do not feel it’s racially motivated” and “don’t feel that these suspects are going to go out and do this again.”
They used handguns. Does Beto want to confiscate those now? But, see, no one knows the motivation
(NY Times) One week after he had angrily barged into a small neighborhood bar, seething and belligerent, the man returned, cursing and shouting about gangs. He threw a plastic cup at a bartender who refused to serve him, witnesses said, and fought with a customer before he was escorted out, just as he had been the week before.
But two hours later, in the pre-dawn darkness of Sunday morning, he and another man stormed back in and opened fire on the crowd, the authorities and witnesses said, killing four people, wounding five others and shattering the sense of safety this tight-knit Latino community felt inside Tequila KC, a bar that for many served as an extension of their living rooms.
Both gunmen left the scene before the police arrived, and no arrests were made Sunday in connection with the attack, which occurred shortly before 1:30 a.m. and sent dozens of panicked patrons into the street.
“This is a community bar,†said Jose Valdez, 39, who was working as a bartender when the shots began. “Here, everybody knows everybody.â€
An armed guard is typically stationed at the front entrance, Mr. Valdez said, but he was not there on Saturday night.
I’d say the motivation is that the guy was pissed off, and, like a lot of shootings, it was about disrespect.
Sunday’s killings were the latest in a series of mass shootings that have unfolded across the country with numbing frequency. Through August, at least 38 shootings with three or more fatalities had been recorded in the United States, data shows. Each deadly episode has brought cries for stricter gun-control laws.
Who wants to bet the guy didn’t purchase it legally? But, hey, let’s punish law abiding people who have firearms for protection….hey, wait, what was that part about armed security usually being at the door of the bar? It says something about the area and the people that they need that at a bar.
In a statement Sunday, Governor Laura Kelly of Kansas, a Democrat, said she continued to be “frustrated†at how often mass shootings occur. “Our nation has an obligation to address this ongoing public health crisis,†she said.
See, it’s the fault of the gun.
NOT a peep by the LEFT when a guy in Europe kills four of his fellow policemen with a KNIFE at work.
crickets. Or else they will be demanding we ban all knives too.
Don’t give them any ideas.
Didn’t they already ban eggs and flour?
And straws.
Be glad he didn’t have an AR-15 or dozens would be dead.
Wasn’t that what the guys in Red China used?
31 dead. In Nigeria, they murdered 500 with them.
Paris Attack Leaves 1 Dead and 4 Wounded by Knife-Wielding Terrorist
Civilian employee kills 4 in knife attack at Paris police HQ
Knives seem to be the objects of choice now. Knives must be banned. Those evil knives are now deciding to kill people too.
Pretty soon we will be down to choking people to death and then the left will demand that instead of eating babies they eat your hands.
In Las Vegas, 58 were killed and hundreds wounded. If the murderer had been throwing knives out the window or even running through the crowd, casualties would have been lessened. We can take our chances with knives.
It was a right-wing org that staged the baby-eating charade.
The sad thing is that it’s hard to satirize the modern-left, and people rightfully thought she was an ordinary leftist.
I’ll keep my AR. I can guarantee you they’re not going anywhere; I’m not saying that to just be contrarian – I can just guarantee it won’t happen. They might ban future sales, but the ones in private hands aren’t going anywhere.
And it was a left-wing org that staged the Greta fiasco, so what? The sad thing is you leftists are so fukin’ crazy everybody thought it was serious because just when us normals figure you clowns can’t get any crazier you surprise us with “free healthcare for illegals” or another two “genders” or “racist mathematics. So nothing surprises us any more. Now the idiots on the left are claiming it’s “minority oppression” to teach standard math.
In Las Vegas, 58 were killed and hundreds wounded. If the murderer had been throwing knives out the window or even running through the crowd, casualties would have been lessened. We can take our chances with knives.
We can? Until less than a thousand years ago, everybody was killed with one form of knife or another. First they get the firearms, then come for the knives.
Since firearms were banned in Britain, knife crimes have increased 50%. And 80% of violent crime involves no weapon.
So it’s all a lie. And speaking of lies, where’s that FBI report about Vegas?
Funny how that never came out, huh?
It was a right-wing org that staged the baby-eating charade.
No, the LaRouchies consider themselves Democrats and Lefties.
The fact bunny suit tries to deny them tells a lot.
I’m a Kansas City, Missouri native. There are two Kansas Citys: KC, Missouri, and it’s smaller, ugly, and more dangerous sister across the Kaw River: KC, Kansas.
The 10th & Central location of this shooting is in Kansas City, Kansas. It may have been a ‘community bar’ where everybody knows your name, but that side of the river is a hotbed of illegal immigrant gang activity and safe houses for those illegals snaking up from Mexico and into the heartland of the USA.
I’d bet money these two murders are illegals and gang bangers.
“Ban guns but not illegal aliens.”
Oh that makes sense…
Non-citizens accounted for 24 percent of all federal drug arrests, 25 percent of all federal property arrests, and 28 percent of all federal fraud arrests.
In 2018, a quarter of all federal drug arrests took place in the five judicial districts along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Politicians who declare their jurisdictions to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants who commit crimes are needlessly endangering their law-abiding citizens.
