1 death in KC, MO. Several injured. Bad. Horrible.

Now-w-w, let’s see. 397 homicides in Memphis yr 2023, 100 more than yr 2022. Another record like this year.

I feel very bad for the one killed in KC, MO. However, you will pardon me if I’m neither shocked nor surprised. It seems every time there is a large gathering, someone dies. Moreover, it is getting difficult to feel bad for the deaths when they occur at a rate of over one a day.

Maybe, it is a good time to do someting besides talk about it, and I do mean something besides gun control. Believe it or not, people are killed by other things. Murders took place long before guns.

A good thing to remember, murders usually begin inside the mind of the culprit, freqently hours or days in advance.
