being kids, they probably didn't have much experience with their choice of firearms and just shot randomly in the crowd with their targets being each other, most of other homicides haven't been in large crowdsHighlander wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 12:58 pmThe shooters were not trying to kill people, just each other, it could have happened anywhere on the way to the event or on the way out, there were plenty of potential innocent bystanders everywhere.Chris Stritzel wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 8:40 amFar too difficult to implement security checkpoints when an event is drawing hundreds of thousands over a mile+ of area. To be a truly secure event, you’d need to vacate all buildings during these events on the parade route. We shouldn’t lock ourselves up and away because of this tragedy. We can come together and move on, but if we want a secure environment for large events like this, it has to go far beyond reason and get extremely difficult to implement adequately.

Same one's that have been for decades. I can't think of the last time I read about a gun death using a legally purchased gun to be honest. I love the fact they went after those who sold the guns illegally. We need much more of that!

Illegal weapons used.
TWELVE people brandished firearms during the altercation at the parade where the shooting began.
At least SIX shooters were identified.
Four of the shooters have been charged.
3 non-shooters have been charged for assisting the others in illegally acquiring their guns.
Prosecutor JPB decided to pursue charges against a bystander who picked up and surrendered one of the parade shooters guns to police after the shooter dropped it. Sounds like an Onion article, but I promise this is real life with JPB at the helm.

Which part? I'm confused.. it's all literally within the news articles.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 9:45 am None of these links source your "UPDATE". Please provide the source of this information.
Unless you're saying that the news articles don't completely state THEIR (the news) sources? I'm assuming that would be the Jackson County courthouse docket itself?
