Show Notes

Two individuals have been charged with Second Degree Murder, two counts of Armed Criminal Action, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon in the recent KC Parade shooting. Sadly, this senseless tragedy left one person dead and 22 wounded. According to prosecutors, more charges are expected to come.

On the latest episode of "The Issues of Sports," E-Mak & Rude Dog had Kansas City 610-AM Host Bob Fescoe joins to discuss the impact of gun violence and domestic terrorism on public events. In this case, the shooting occurred during a joyful celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory, turning a glorious day into a nightmare.

It's a sad reality that gun violence has crept into everything from grocery stores to championship parades. Innocent lives are taken for no reason, and we must ask ourselves if it's safe to attend any sort of crowd event without metal detectors?

Let's come together and work towards a safer future for all. Our hearts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. Quick podcast where we examine.
