Truth or Consequences
“(Raeven Parks) was coming out, and just walked into the midst of it.”
- Tamela Smith, KSHB-TV41, Kansas City, MO, January 20, 2020
While much of the oxygen consumed by the American media over the long weekend concerned peaceful white supporters of the Second Amendment converging on Richmond, Virginia, a black gunman shot 16, killing one, Sunday night in Kansas City, Missouri.
Have you heard of the latter?
CNN, MSNBC, the Los Angeles Times, and the Huffington Post described demonstrators opposed to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s effort to seize lawfully obtained firearms as “radicals” and “white supremacists.”
MSNBC reporter Ben Collins called the Richmond event a “white nationalist rally,” while actor Jeffrey Wright said the event had a “Klan-like smell.”
Virginia taxpayers will be on the hook for more than $220,000 in security fees due to fear mongering from Northam and Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney.
Missouri’s costs will be for the care and rehabilitation of 15 victims of Jahron Swift, 29, who fired indiscriminately outside former NFL player Alphonso Hodge’s 9ine Ultra Lounge.
Raeven Parks, 25, an aspiring performer who went by the moniker Rayivee Crayee, was caught in the melee and died at the scene. Three caught in the crossfire remain in critical condition.
A club security guard shot and killed Swift to prevent further carnage.
City leaders lamented the pall cast by the mass shooting after the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to their first Super Bowl in 50 years earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the gunfire remains a largely localized news story.

Copies of Historie du XX Siecle not yet distributed will have the sentence removed, Ellipses CEO Brieuc Benezer promised.
“We have proofreading and scientific processes, but we let this baseless sentence pass, against our scientific values,” Benezer said.
Who registered the retraction demand was unreported.

Her seventh studio album, released in April, 2019, cemented Taylor Swift’s progressive bonafides when she agreed to film her title track video for UMG/Republic Records’ Lucian Grainge with black dancer Christian Owens.
In October she told Rolling Stone, “There’s nothing worse than white supremacy. It’s repulsive.
“We were in such an amazing time when Obama was president because foreign nations respected us. We were so excited to have this dignified person in the White House.
“My first election was voting for him when he made it into office, and then voting to re-elect him. I think a lot of people are like me, where they just didn’t think this could happen.
“But I’m focused on the 2020 election. I’m really focused on it.”
Now the documentary Miss Americana, due in theaters and via Netflix in ten days, promises to burnish Swift’s feminist credentials:

Minimum $400,000 per person shoot at the club. Lifetime medical expenses. All more of less footed by the taxpayer.
Didn't hear a thing about this Kansas City MASS SHOOTING anywhere, including the sports pages.
THE AGENDA of the working mainstream press in America is getting worse - and it was terrible already!
