Suddenly everybody is innocent
Sob stories and fundraisers.

While he whips out a stolen gun and starts firing in a crowd of people.
Right, a regular flipping choir boy.

‘Not a monster’: Family of Lyndell Mays, charged in Chiefs rally shooting, speaks out

Lyndell Mays’ sister says she was right beside him when he became involved in the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally at Union Station. She says he acted in self-defense.

The police warrant says that surveillance video shows the sister lied to them. It says the video shows he fired first. And even she seemed to be mad at him for it because when she ran over to him after he was shot she hit him. And it also says her boyfriend told the truth.

Tonight, as weekend services for Lisa Lopez-Galvan begin, Union Station’s historic south façade features accent colors from the flag of Mexico. This is both a reflection of Lisa’s proud Hispanic heritage as well as an expression of sympathy to her entire extended family. Lisa tragically lost her life at the end of the February 14th Parade and Rally. We lift up Lisa’s memory and send our wishes for the complete recovery of all those injured and impacted by the senseless violence of that day.

Odd.

The criminal tells the truth and the family member lies....

The family casts doubt on allegations that he admitted to the Kansas City Police Department that he drew his gun first and fired.

They allege Kansas City police officers questioned him while he was being given opioids. The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“How can you say my brother admitted to these statements when he was highly sedated?” Mays’ sister said. “It’s not logical. It makes no sense.”

Trying to find the right way to ask without offending anybody, but is it typical/common for people in the US to bring guns to a parade, or other sociable family events?
Here in Canada, unless a person is a hunter or involved in security or LE, typically, only criminals carry guns, imo, speculation.

No it would not be common for people to carry guns to a parade. You might have a couple of conceal carry people that have a gun, but not all that many really. The rest are just as you indicated, criminals. And I think these guys went to the parade looking for trouble.

By definition, these perpetrators are not mature enough to know when to not draw their weapon.

Unreal. They supposedly had never met before, but confronted each other, had an argument, all were armed, and just started shooting.

“I shouldn’t have done that. Just being stupid.”
That's what I say when I mess up some little thing. Library late fee, speeding ticket.
Murdering someone and injuring dozens for no reason at all is more than just stupid. This has to end.

Jason Barton didn’t want to attend the Super Bowl parade this year. He told a co-worker the night before that he worried about a mass shooting. But it was Valentine’s Day, his wife is a Kansas City Chiefs superfan, and he couldn’t afford to take her to games since ticket prices soared after the team won the championship in 2020.

They Feel Forgotten. ​

 

[imstilla.grandma]

James Lemons attended the event with his wife Brandie, 17-year-old daughter Kallie, 10-year-old son Jackson, and 5-year-old daughter Kensley.

James says he was carrying Kensley on his shoulders when he heard gunfire.

"I was walking through trying to run through with her on my shoulders. I

got hit in my leg and I fell with her and had to catch her face to make sure her face didn't hit the concrete," James said.
…
Fast forward more than a month, and James has been unable to work at his warehouse job.

Because he hasn't been employed in that position for a year, James says he's not eligible for short-term disability.

He also says he doesn't have insurance to pay for the surgery he needs to remove the bullet still lodged in his leg.

"I love my city, and I love my team, but there's people hurting like real families. This is not play," James said.
