Just like #ChiefsKingdom has always been there for me and my family, we want to be there for them.❤️
The @Chiefs have launched #KCStrong, an emergency response fund supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders.… pic.twitter.com/sYMnPgCWL0
Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. [Reply]

I hope so, but I imagine this will make them rethink some of it. Ride in the bus and wave to folks, get off the bus and be on stage with a perimeter that has been protected with fence and metal detectors. I hate it, but it's probably headed that way. [Reply]

Probably... trying to give people 2nd and 3rd chances and if editing OP this morning wasn't obvious enough, we've moved some posts to DC without booting people (or in other words, if your post gets moved to DC, maybe take it as some kind of sign)... and trying not to boot everyone just because they respond to a dumbass, because eventually nobody would be here.
Once I get to the point of moving someone's post multiple times, they're definitely getting the boot. [Reply]
I just don't think this one hit me quite as hard as the initial response to other mass shootings, and probably because I was still on the "high" of the parade/rally. Knowing that children were shot and lost in the mass exodus, that's when it hit. The fact that players were staying and comforting children until having to leave really says a lot for this team.
(Yes, this is me trying to get the subject back on track.) :-) [Reply]
I shot photos of this man in cuffs but did not file them after learning he was released from custody (like two minutes after making the photos). Editorial integrity and accuracy is paramount especially in breaking news situations. @AFP editors know better. https://t.co/mrx3p8OPLa
