3 shooters, 2 under 18, police say it was related to an argument. In our old neighborhood we had about 3 years of that nihilistic crap. Guys felt they were being “disrespected” on FB so they’d shoot at each other. They killed a few bystanders & wounded probably a dozen more https://t.co/yXhuTiYUSF — Dana Houle …

Per CNN, “Kansas City shooting may have stemmed from personal dispute, police say; 2 juveniles detained”:
Two juveniles have been detained in connection with Wednesday’s shooting following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration rally, which left one dead and more than 20 wounded, police said.
At least 23 victims have been identified, including a 43-year-old woman who died, police chief Stacey Graves said at a news conference Thursday. The other 22 victims range in age from 8 to 47, Graves said, adding that half are younger than 16.
The shooting appears to have been a “dispute between several people that ended in gunfire,” Graves said, noting there is no indication of a “nexus to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism.”
On Wednesday, Graves said three people had been detained and an unspecified number of guns recovered by police. On Thursday, a Kansas City police spokesperson told CNN one person who was in custody was “determined to not be involved.” Two juvenile teens remained in custody for further investigation, police said.
Several law enforcement officials similarly told CNN the shooting was believed to have been the result of a personal dispute in the area, and not an attack on the celebration itself…
Wednesday’s was at least the 48th mass shooting in the United States so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which like CNN counts those in which four or more are shot, not including a perpetrator…
Missouri Governor Mike Parson, last seen running from gunfire at the Chief's celebration in Kansas City, signed into law last August a provision that would nullify federal gun laws in the state. pic.twitter.com/oGwL5k3c65

No. "The adults" did not fail the children of America.
ONE GROUP of adults, who happen to be Republican politicians, have failed the children of America.

Which ones, you coward? Say which ones or you're just as complicit in 'failing the children of America' as they are. Mealy mouthed bullshit is why they get away with it. https://t.co/Vz0SVDITgb

Besides being from Missouri, what do Josh Hawley and Mike Parson have in common?
They both run like hell from the guns and violence they created.

If you give us power, we will try to save these kids. It will be hard. And our party will be disorganized and imperfect maddening and not good enough. But we will give a shit about these kids who deserve to be safe. https://t.co/d7ZPimbGU9
