Kansas is run by a woman who has enough aura to win 2 terms as a Democratic candidate in a Republican State, turn a state deficit into a $2.6b surplus, attract the likes of Panasonic, and legalize sports betting.

A woman is dead and dozens more are injured, including nine children. People Rick works with everyday had to run for their lives during the most horrific mass shooting in Missouri history. But Rick thinks his colleagues and coworkers had it coming because they went to a parade.

The fact that Ralph couldn’t get help at three doors, is also concerning but seemingly left out of the stories. This is a cultural issue, that needs to be discussed just like the quantity of shots!
The shooter was taken into custody to provide a brief statement & was released shortly after w/ no charges filed. He was back home w/in hours, seen vacuuming the broken glass on his porch. Police referred to this as “an error.” Make no mistake, this is a hate crime.
