TKC QUESTION: KANSAS CITY 'MARCH FOR OUR LIVES' SPOILED BY PARTISAN, ANTI-POLICE, IDENTITY POLITICS???
Without question, the Kansas City "March For Our Lives" demonstration was a historic moment for the local political discourse.
But in the aftermath we notice that a great deal of the most captivating rhetoric focused on election campaigning and not policy changes.
And so we ask . . .
DID DIVISIVE RHETORIC RUIN THE KANSAS CITY MARCH FOR OUR LIVES???
A few examples for consideration . . .
The widow of slain lawyer Tom Pickert certainly deserves to have a say in the local gun rights debate but her organization is not only against guns but also clings to the hope of Obamacare.
Check her remarks . . .
KANSAS CITY MO - Physican, mother, and widow to gun violence, Dr. Emily Reingel speaks at 'March For Our Lives' Kansas City. Dr. Emily Reingel is a co-founder of Indivisible KC. A compelling voice from the Heartland calling for an immediate end to gun violence in America.
Take a look:
And then we noticed some bold signage tagging local police . . .
"Police violence should be included in gun violence conversations."
The response from a denizen of our blog community:
"Learn what cops do and the abuse they take every single day. They are accused of brutality when it's actually the person they are arresting that won't cooperate."
I love these people who are told they are under arrest and they yell take your hands off of me and resist arrest. 99.9% of the cops do damn good work, under enormous stress."
Finally . . .
We notice "Mothers In Charge" founder Rosilyn Temple giving the black power salute to the Kansas City crowd . . . While her anti-gun advocacy makes her perspective appropriate, it's worth noting that this march owes some debt to #BlackLivesMatter protesters who paved the way for this kind of massive youth movement.
And so . . .
LIKE IT OR NOT, MIDTERM ELECTION SEASON 2018 POLITICS EARNED A FAR GREATER BOOST FROM 'MARCH FOR OUR LIVES" PROTEST THAN ANY STRICTER GUN REGULATION PROPOSALS!!!
Feel free to do the math on that statement as gun rights restrictions are exceptionally unlikely at the State or Federal level in the next year.
Still . . .
To be fair, here's one of the smartest things posted in the aftermath of the march . . . The perspective respects both sides of the issue yet offers an important life lesson and fact check for the political discourse and the restraint that it demands . . .
"They could be protesting to ban bacon, I don’t care. If you are a grown-ass man and you spent time today making fun of high school kids for expressing themselves in political discourse, you’re a f*cking loser."
Agree to disagree or otherwise, the significance of the march shouldn't be underestimated even if it might not facilitate much legislative change or local compromise on the sordid topic of guns.
You decide . . .
All politics is identity politics. Agree that this might just be a midterm warmup but there's nothing wrong with that, that's how Democrats put themselves in a better position for create real change.
ReplyDeleteDon't really have to go that far to find identity politics.
ReplyDeletethe youth movement aspect of the march is a way to divide young from old in order to play election demographics and move younger people over to the Democratic party corner.
A simple strategy: Divide and conquer.
The liberals are using the young the same way they have used the blacks and DACA. Once they are done using the young they will drop and forget about them the same way they dropped the others.
ReplyDeleteThe liberals have done this for years.
9:04, the tricky part is to make sure the party's grievance groups don't see the light and turn on each other. Lots of pandering is required to prevent that.
ReplyDeleteEnd the Second Amendment and free speech.
ReplyDeleteProblem solved.
Of course it wasn’t ruined, it was awesome. Come on Tony, quit trolling the old folks.
ReplyDeleteI'm not against protesting but protesting just to be protesting about wanting more laws along with those that already exist to me is not only a waste of time but just clouds the issue.
ReplyDeleteThese kids are bringing politics into the equation of wanting more gun laws and gun bans and who knows what else since their is no clear agenda here.
What these kids should be doing is inviting the politicians, the Mayors, the head of the FBI, state, local, federal prosecutors and getting them in front of cameras and demanding that the laws we have now in place are being enforced and applied as needed. They have all forgot that the Florida shooting could have probably been dealt with if law enforcement (the FBI) had done their job to begin with.
Don't be protesting against and attacking the law abiding people instead be attacking the politicians who are just standing around doing nothing about crime rates and murdering in our streets while handing out huge amounts of money to developers or wasting the time of investigators investigating politicians for political purposes only.
^^^Yea what we need is a dumb geezer like you telling a bunch of kids what they should protest against. Go away dummy. Nobody is listening
Delete9:48 You say the same thing on every post you disagree with. All the while saying they're old and out of touch. You are nothing more than a joke who plays internet tough guy. No one takes you serious. You are a limp dick liberal with no life. Loser!!
DeleteSays stupid Dave who is on here all the time. You have zero life, zero, friends, and zero sense. You belong on here with the rest of these retards. Retard.
DeleteIt's already old news. Next story please.
ReplyDelete^^^Except that is not. It’s very much current and will be until November.
DeleteWhy does it always have to be about the police?.
ReplyDeleteThese little shits need to get back in the classrooms and learn about 1930’s Germany and their control.
ReplyDeleteOf course president Trump has made more changes than Barry did and that’s enough to get him through the next 6 1/2 years, they did ruin the whatever you call it by bringing up everything under the sun, I thought this was about the children being too scared to go to public school? Yes sirreee, went right past the children and on to their own agendas, but it really never was about the children to begin with
ReplyDeleteProtests and The Right To Assembly are far safer for Progressives than Conservatives. Just look at all of the blood spilled by Conservatives during the run up to Trumps ascension to the highest office. Antifa and Black Lives Matter Thugs beating and intimidating Conservatives while the police stood by.
ReplyDeleteThere is, and, should be a healthy dose of well earned skepticism for any and all things, policies, laws and changes called for by the Radical, Progressive, Socialist, Democrat movement.
Gun Control is no exception.
You did NOT get to keep your Doctor.
You did NOT get to keep your Health Plan.
You will NOT get to keep your guns either.
If Liberal Lips are moving, lies are being told.
I see that Barack and Michelle are weighing in on this newly formed "Children's Crusade", the cat's paw of Hollywood elites and George Soros type power brokers who, behind the scenes, manipulate and co-opt tragedies such as Parkland for their own nefarious, totalitarian hopes of a coming National "Metropolis". Barack, the "down low" president who sat at the feet of Bill Ayers reading Alisnky's "Rules For Radicals" and steeped himself in the teachings of another famous black "down low" terrorist, Malcolm X and his descendant, Louis Farrakhan, is all in on the abrogation of the 2nd Amendment.
Without the 2nd Amendment, all of the other rights in the Bill Of Rights are Post It Notes. Mao was right, power stems from the end of a gun barrel. For the middle class, ordnance is order and an "Inalienable" right, guaranteed by the Constitution and in no way, subject to the whim and caprice of preening, puerile protesters like David Hogg and the money behind this newest effort to abridge the rights of Americans to bear arms.
Americans at home, seeing the phony outrage, sanctimony, hubris and condescension from the inhabitants of the "It Takes A Village" Potemkin Village know that lies from the left are as expected as spring rains in April.
I know, "Too Long, Didn't Read."
"Geezer etc etc etc shitting pants etc etc etc."
THAT folks, is who showed up to protest. The vapid, inane, uninformed narcissistic inheritors of the Kardashian Culture who, willingly provide us with the benefits of their inexperience.
For that, we thank you, but we certainly don't for a second, believe you.
Hello? Is anybody listening to me? I need your validation! I’m lecturing you. Is anybody there? Why isn’t listening to what I have to say? Hello? Please answer! I’m sooooo old and lonely. Hello?????
DeleteToo long, written by a fucktard. Will never read.
DeleteFast food kills far more people than gun violence. Cell phone distracted driving kills WAAAAAY more youth than gun violence.
ReplyDeleteI never hear what guns are used in the murders in Chicago.....
This is a "moth to the flame" kind of moment for youth. Rather than involve themselves in a meaningful political exercise they just devolve into chanting slogans. Sad, but predictable.
Once the "protest high" wears off the kids will scatter back to the various dens, smoke some pot, and reflect on how meaningful it all was and how powerful their voices have become. Then the reality of not owning anything and being massively in debt will sink in.
Sad, but predictable.
They'll become "consultants" and move to gated communities.
DeleteTony reported on, Blair's Law rally in South KC, an article supporting the passage of Blair’s law. In short a girl’s death was caused by celebratory gunfire. There was no march in south KC supporting this.
ReplyDeleteLink to KSHB article: https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/blairs-law-rally-in-south-kc
The KSHB article stated “In Kansas City celebratory gunfire is a city offense. It can draw felony charges depending on the property damage.”
"We have to have adequate tools in the tool box for me to address that behavior," explained prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.
Well Jean, according to the local coverage it is illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits. You have the tools in the tool box to address that behavior so what is really holding you back from addressing that behavior.
It appears Jean is not enforcing current gun laws.
Same as @10:04, "Too Long, Didn't Read."
These old authoritarian farts will be dead soon and the cops can go find other work.
ReplyDeleteThe driving force behind all these protests is anarchists who wish to destroy Traditional America and all its institutions including marriage, belief in a higher power and the comstitution. this is also why you see antifa referring to anyone that believes in these things is a geezer, dying off dinosaur etc.
ReplyDeleteTheir anointed Kenyan couldn't pull it off despite his best efforts; so now his Lemmings are trying to extort it by blocking traffic and making a public nuisance of themselves. Seriously, you'd have to be dumb as a post not to see this.
I see that Hollywood got involved but are they serious when all the movies they produce have gun violence in them, hell no they’re not, gun violence is a cash cow for them. Hey, I got an idea! Why don’t you knuckleheads go protest them and see what happens! That would be funnny!!!
ReplyDeleteI see Mr and or Ms. Copy and Paste is out again. One suggestion--copy and paste shorter comments.
ReplyDeleteTraditional America is a slave holding colony. Cops are slave catchers from the start. Harriet Tubman said 'always cut a snake off at the head.'
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Harriet Tubman quote is, "Shit! Dat be some fine ass bar b q motherfucker!!!"
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of people on this chat who beat their kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat if 25,000 people died each year from coffee pots exploding? Do you think the the manufacturer and big box retail monopolies will volunteer to take them off the shelf?
ReplyDeleteSame people complaining when they took lead out of gasoline calling them Commies and anarchists tree hugger's.
ReplyDeleteJust talked to some old folks who were at the rally and they said the police were treated fine. They mentioned a couple people with red scarf's and commie flags hollering about something?
ReplyDeleteI see that the geezer hater pants shitter are still in bed this morning. Probably smoking sherm all night and sucking each others dicks.
ReplyDelete^^^^Umm unlike you gramps, he has a life and friends and getting on blog all day is really the hallmark of of a loser. But by all means gramps, carry on with that sad waste of a life of yours.
Delete"We notice "Mothers In Charge" founder Rosilyn Temple giving the black power salute to the Kansas City crowd "
ReplyDeleteNo wonder why she has no support, except the taxpayers dollars through the trumped up disguise of "Mother's in Charge"
Here she is promoting Black Power when the blacks are exterminating one another everyday in KC ****PLEASE NOTE*** without the help of white police and citizens.
Such ignorance, blatant ignorance on display here with her actions.
IT'S A FREAKING LIBERAL HOLLYWOOD DEMOCRAT SCREENPLAY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEmma Gonzalez - shaved head student, daughter of a Democrat lawyer, "I'm 18, Cuban, and lesbian", who favors ripped jeans and a military-style jacket with patches, she can't deliver a speech without yelling and wiping faux tears away every 10 seconds.
David Hogg - foul-mouthed student with a misshapen head, son of a disgruntled anti-Trump FBI agent, idolizes Jake Tapper of CNN, who's favorite interview word is "disgusting", did a student internship at CNN studios before the shooting to prepare him for his role.
Liberal Hollywood Democrats such as actor George Clowney (seeks to enter politics), comedian Amy Schumer (related to NYC Congressman Chuck Schumer), viral petri dish Miley Cyrus, elderly England resident Madonna, Ariana Grande (encourages girls to be sex objects), Dave "I was popular 20 years ago" Matthews, etc.
These are the same assholes who were pushing brain-damaged, career criminal, closeted lesbian, semi-invalid Hillary Clinton for President.
STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone acknowledge my lonely existence? I make all these long posts, but no one reads them Why? Hello? I don’t want to die alone. Hello?
Delete^So bigly triggered, easily, and often!
DeleteHa! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

ReplyDeleteClooney is a piece of work. What a hypocrite.
George Clooney has also been an outspoken critic of Trump, telling The Guardian in a March 2016 interview that he believes Trump to be a “xenophobic fascist” and an “opportunist.” He previously described Trump’s immigration policy proposals as “idiotic” and “intolerant.”
But wait! When those "unwashed masses" of Muslims established a camp near his house...
"In July of last year, a makeshift refugee camp was established in Lake Como after the Swiss government decided to close its southern border with Italy. Dozens of refugees arrived from African and Asian countries were housed in tents close to the Clooneys’ home, with a local tour guide telling the Daily Mail that the refugee camps were a “big problem because of the huge numbers [of refugees] who are arriving all the time.”
He left Italy for the safer climes of Los Angeles.
“As soon as Amal found out she was pregnant, he hired former Secret Service agents to assess all his properties and make recommendations for improvement,” an unnamed Clooney “insider” told the magazine. “His mansion in Studio City [Calif.] was deemed the most secure, and it’s within minutes of an LAPD station.”
The phony, Progressive fuck, who doesn't want YOU to be able to protect yourself, lives behind walls, with guards amongst his many privileged Progressive Peers, where, from on high, he casts pearls before we swine.
Fuck that cocksucker.
Hello? I have opinions here! Do you want to hear them? Why aren’t you listening? Please listen! I say the same thing every time. Please! Hello?????? I’m so lonely. Please please please acknowledge me!
Delete"The liberals are using the young the same way they have used the blacks and DACA. Once they are done using the young they will drop and forget about them the same way they dropped the others."
ReplyDeleteYou may be right, but look at the way your hero (ab)used the white working class and then dropped and forgot them. The supposedly saved Carrier jobs in Indiana are now in Mexico. Their buyers' remorse has happened faster than that of a Soloflex buyer, and we've seen the results in Virginia, Alabama, and Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteIf you spend your days posting negative shit on a blog comments section, you're a fucking loser.
"I was never so scared in all my life."
ReplyDelete11:34
ReplyDeleteAs the Progressive/Fascist paradigm slowly chokes the life out of the 1st Amendment and the Constitutional freedoms accorded us all, NOTHING is more important than posting the truth, the facts and opinions of those who resist the lurch to the left that this nation is now inexorably traveling towards the abyss.
Free Speech is a now an endangered species as Google, Facebook, Twitter and the legion of Tech companies that control and shape the narrative in nefarious and Fascist intent.
NOTHING can be more important than the ugly, honest, vitriol and hate that is concomitant on this blog.
No doubt, powers unseen, local and otherwise, now move in concert of kill small town, free speech on blogs just like this all over America.
Fuck them.
Hello? Are you there? Anybody? I’m talking but you’re not listening! Hello? I have so much to say, but you won’t listen! Please please listen! I’m soooo alone.
DeleteTypical Leftist Jew. Flood the country with non-whites, while removing the white's ability to protect themselves. Same old (((shit))).
ReplyDeleteGod bless the USA
ReplyDeleteOnly guns stand between America and the Islamization (Sunni Islam) as it is unfolding in Western Europe.
ReplyDeleteThese brainwashed fools are begging to have their guns taken - what a great day for Obama, Sarsour & Co !
Support NRA and GOA - protectors of Constitution!
Eric Holder , 1995 --- " Brainwash people against guns "
ReplyDeleteDemonize all gun owners like smokers.
"If you spend your days posting negative shit on a blog comments section, you're a fucking loser."
ReplyDeleteOh, my. Does that make you a fucking loser?
Kudos Chuck & Gus telling it like it is! This whole show was just the DUMBED DOWN USEFULL IDIOTS being manipulated yet again.
ReplyDeleteIts called late capitalism.
ReplyDeletePeople around the world realize socialist conversation ore a good thing.
ReplyDeleteWill any of those protesters be there to defend my family while diggers are breaking into my house?
ReplyDeleteNo ! Just call KCPD and ask for a social worker
DeleteBill Tammeus was at the rally. Call him if you need help. I can get u his phone number.
ReplyDeleteHas to be said, the protesters are pinko commies.
ReplyDeleteYes and all these commentators are pants-shitting geezers. Carry on.
DeleteYup', those same young teenagers who eat TIDE PODS,, they'll stir ya' in the right direction,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteFor anyone and everyone who was there, and there were thousands of us, you would know it was a huge, huge success. It was in no way "spoiled" by anything or anyone. It was fantastic. It was gratifying.
And now, we go forward.
Why don’t these kids listen to us? Look at all this smart stuff we are saying? How come they never get on here and talk all day like we do? How come they would rather be outside with their peers instead of inside on this blog engaging with us? How can we reach them with all these classic lines, if they would rather be offline doing other stuff. Don’t they know that being alone on a third rate blog posting classic stuff like chuck gives us, is really cool and not at all sad & pathetic.
Delete^^^^ Yaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnn, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteI'm all for having an assembly for all the normal working folks who just don't give a fuck and don't have a damn cause! What a world we have created where people don't have a fucking thing to do with their lives except piss and moan about shit they aren't going to change.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, I love all the generation bashing we’ Doing, but I have a serious question now. Does anybody know what channel Matlock is on? I have Spectrum I think, and I can’t get the darn remote to put the guide on. Can you fellers help me here? Now we can get back to talkin’ yougin’s again!
ReplyDeleteFor these sub human Tar Babies, TLDR means, TSDU, Too Stupid Didn't Understand.
ReplyDeleteDrooling Democrats with public school educations preaching on display.
Repetition, wow, really original if you're in the 2nd grade. Or, you have been passed on year after year, with the educational ability of a chimpanzee and no expectation of improvement.
Go eat a banana.
^^^^^Hey feller, good stuff there. You sound like you like Matlock. Do you know what channel it’s on?
DeleteHe dreams of changing matlocks shitty diaper all day and night long, it’s his passion in life and he’s good at it! Lmao!
ReplyDeleteOne of you has got to know how to work this dang ol’ remote contraption. I know we got youngin’s to bash, but I’ll be danged if’in I can figure it out. Matlock’s on and I’m missing it.
ReplyDelete"They could be protesting to ban bacon, I don’t care. If you are a grown-ass man and you spent time today making fun of high school kids for expressing themselves in political discourse, you’re a f*cking loser."
ReplyDelete------Written by a "grown-ass" man who spent WAY TOO MUCH time today defending liberal whiny half-grown-ass high school losers trying to get their 15 minutes of fame because the media and Hollywood told them they'd be cool it they showed up.
This is the same mental defect who trolls TKC comments all day with pithy gems like "geezer", "pants-shitter", "too long didn't read (TLDR)", "diaper", "hello? are you listening to me?", "gramps", "my opinion matters!"
That he's doing EXACTLY what he complains about others doing is priceless! He's too stupid to recognize his own mental inferiority.
“ But it’s them, not me” they are trolling. I’m criticizing kids here, but that other mean guy, he’s the troll not me! Hello? Is anybody listening. I want to criticize too! Please someone. I’m scared and alone. Please?
Delete^^^^+10000000
ReplyDeleteOnce the red lights on the television cameras go off, the selfies and videos are shared on FaceBook and YouTube, and everyone congratulates themselves as to how much difference they think they've made, the infighting over who and which group gets the credit and who is the spokesman and leader and who will get more air time and, most importantly, who is going to get more FUNDING will start.
ReplyDeleteIt always does.
And it already has.
And by Wednesday yet another hashtag something or other will arrive and the media lemmings will go charging off in another direction.
Don't forget, Stormy Daniels is right around the corner.
...and after all is said and done I will find something else to hate on, after all it’s all I have. So today it’s kids, tomorrow? Who knows? I’m soooo lonely......
DeleteTry not to handle so much lead reloading bullets.
ReplyDeleteToo late for that troll, he’s been drinking lead and playing with mercury, that’s why he’s so stupid!
ReplyDeleteLiberal fags whining about guns.
ReplyDeleteBlah, blah, blah, come get 'em fags.
^^^^@9:44PM I’m a tuff-talkin’ gun-dummy who fancies myself as an ol’ west gun slinger! Yee haw! In reality I’m a 400lb tub o’ shit with no family or friends. I talk tough cause I seen a lot of TV shoot em’ ups! Yes sire bob, I’m an ol’ hoss! Now I gots to skedaddle, my boss will dock me if I’m late at 7-11 again
DeleteWill the lady doctor whose husband was killed by the ILLEGAL use of gun, be there to help my family when they are attacked by hoodrats?
ReplyDeleteNO you say?
Then she needs to STFU.
^^^Hey there feller, do you watch Blue Bloods? You seem like you would. Can you help me find it on the TV? I can’t get this dangum remote to work.
ReplyDelete^^^^you think they will be there to help you?
ReplyDeleteFool.
Now go back to sleep.
^Yes you are, on every post! Do u want help finding counseling?
ReplyDeleteIf you own guns as a defense against tyranny, then you are not a patriot.
ReplyDeleteTypical case of a bunch of junior, mommy couch sleeping, unemployed libtards pissing and moaning about everything in America while the geezers are left to fight the wars and defend the values. We seriously need to require these little shits to serve 3 years in the military before they can secure their rights as citizens in America. Maybe then we can reverse decades of pussy brain washing created by mentally deficient single mothers and their rosey hormonal view of world affairs. In the mean time we just need to ignore their asses because they don't have what it takes to accomplish jack shit anyway.
ReplyDelete
