If hanging was such an effective deterrent, why did they have to hang so many people?
Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

Idk if something like this should be prosecuted with harsher consequences, but right now it feels like it should.
They should torture ****ers like this. Cut their fingers off one at a time with a butter knife.
So how does “essentially” not work as used? At a fundamental level these states are the same - but they aren’t exactly the same. Guess I dont understand your logic?
As someone who lived in KC for a while I wish I could say this is a surprise but I fear it will be what's expected.
They are the same in all respects relevant to the discussion.
Kong is suggesting that they're not "exactly" the same because Nebraskans won't get shot up (and will apprehend shooters). I think anyone sensible can agree that that's asinine.
Betting there wasn’t as many prisoners in prison eating up yours and mine tax dollars back then either. Now go hug your tree and tuck your wee wee under your butt and piss off.
I think he was implying we don't have the type of people who come from St Louis (a known sh!thole) and live around Prospect Ave in KC that are known to be heavily involved in gang activity.
Can you show us on the doll where the Chiefs hurt you?
Haven't hung anyone lately, have we? Maybe we should try it, see what happens. (Love the piss pic in my mind)
Watch the black community in KC get hammered because of this and then play the victim.
And that has to do with the victims how? I'm guessing that if you had a conversation with one of the people who were shot, you'd have no idea whether they were from KC or Omaha. The people are the same. It's not their fault they got shot at a parade any more than it was the fault of the Von Maur employees in Omaha.
I read Kong's response as suggesting that there was a difference relevant to the discussion. Is that not how you read it?
And yet people get shot all over the country, in big cities, in small towns, in rich areas, in poor areas, in majority-minority areas, and in lily-white areas. So tell me, why is it anything but asinine for Kong to come into this thread running down Chiefs fans and Kansas Citians for getting shot at a parade because he can't stand that the Chiefs keep winning? I'm not looking for an argument about gun violence, policy, or any of that -- just making the case that Kong is showing his ass.
When was the last time someone was hung? What was the media coverage like then?
I took the comments about the Chiefs and about the shooting separately. Maybe I'm wrong.
Don't really want to keep following this track, but for much of recorded history authorities have intentionally made public spectacle of the most barbarous punishments and executions they could come up with as a means of communicating state or monarchical power and deterring other would-be criminals. There's very little evidence that it's ever worked as a deterrent.
It might make some viewers feel justice has been done, or slake the bloodlust of some weirdos out there. If people want to argue for barbarism on those grounds, that's a different discussion.
Fair enough. I have several friends/coworkers who were at the parade, including at least one that was very close to the incident, so maybe I'm just being overly sensitive.
