The Chiefs Super Bowl Parade
In honor and memory of those injured and killed in the parade shooting. As of 7pm on February 14th, 22 people were shot, and 1-2 have passed away so far. 11 of the victims were children, 9 of whom were shot, and they are the ones that made me cry today.
What was supposed to be a day of celebration became a day of absolute tragedy. For those of you who do not know Kansas City, the parade ended at Union Station which is between downtown KC and the Plaza. The chiefs players had already vacated the stage and were back inside Union Station to get on their team bus when shots rang out. I will share a link from TMC that has video from on the ground, one shows CPR being administered and another was rendering first aid.
I have friends who were at this parade. They are thankfully safe. Schools were cancelled, it was called a “Red Snow Day” so that all of the kids who idolize Mahomes and Kelce could attend the parade. 11 of them are not going home tonight, they are fighting for their life and being treated for their injuries. My colleague’s brother shot video of one of the shooters in the parking garage being arrested. This hits hard.
Our horrible mayor has already come on the TV and denounced guns and asked for gun laws to change. Nevermind that our city has enormous amounts of illegal guns on the streets, and the KCMO homicide rates are breaking records each year.
In the coming days/weeks, I will figure out how many of my patients were injured, witnessed the injury, or know someone who was injured.

Keep Kansas City in your prayers. 🙏🏻
It's always the guns. I own a handgun because I was threatened by a deranged patient who on the very night that he posted his "I'm going to get you" rant against me on Facebook was arrested for pistol whipping his elderly aunt and uncle. He just now was released from prison. I own it for personal protection. It has been sitting in its secure safe, making an occasional appearance at the gun range otherwise it remains quiet and in the ready. It has never of its own will fired itself at anyone. It has never magically done a Houdini and escaped the safe to lie in wait to shoot a person and then skulk away and hide. All of these shootings are done by deranged individuals who have totally lost all sense of morality and whose consciences are sizzled to the point that there is no moral introspection. It is not the guns. The guilt is on the owner of the gun who chooses to use it for nefarious deeds. This push to ban weapons is just another step to remove all of the hurdles in the way to totalitarian rule. The first thing they do is to take away the guns using the same old playbook of too many shootings. The guns involved in these shootings are unregistered guns owned by hoodlums who have no qualms of conscience in shooting other people. Let's see what spin they put on the two people that were arrested. You just can't believe anything that comes out of the mouth of the media who are the mouthpiece for the globalist agenda.
From what I’ve been able to see so far, it looks like a typical “hood” shooting that the media and government are trying to leverage politically as another “active shooter” event. Sad as it is to say, if you grew up in the black community, these “Boyz in the Hood” incidents happen all too often.
What I found most revealing was how the local officials and police couldn’t seem to acknowledge the heroic role of regular citizens in containing the incident and capturing the perpetrators. In one video I saw, three regular Joe’s tackled and subdued a fleeing perpetrator while a whole platoon of police stood around not far away — apparently preoccupied with something else (not sure what that was — a wounded person or other assailant most likely?) Then afterwards, every question by the media as to the details of what actually happened kept getting deflected and answered with talking points about how great a job the police did. Maybe some did. Maybe not so much, but what actually did happen (who, what, when, where and WHY?) they didn’t want to talk about! 🤯
