Guns In America
On that Atlanta, Georgia slaughter of more innocent American citizens earlier today: Tom Winter @Tom_Winter
"NEW: Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter tell NBC News that the gun -- a 9mm handgun -- used by Robert Aaron Long in yesterday’s shooting spree in Georgia was purchased legally and it was purchased yesterday prior to the shooting."
Reported w/ Mike Kosnar
igorvolsky @igorvolsky
"Waiting period laws that delay the purchase of firearms by a few days reduce gun homicides by roughly 17%.
10 states + DC do have waiting periods for at least some types of firearm purchases.
Georgia is not one of them."
Again and as ever, thanks, NRA. Thanks, Republicans.

White People, Solving Kansas City's Problems
Both news weekly programs on KCPT this week were lily-white, bleached Caucasians.
Yet again.
One more time.
Not one "person of color." No one from any minority other than one woman on each show.
Kansas City Week in Review - KCPT
Shame on you, KCPT. You should know---and do---better.
Far better.
In their, KCPT's, defense, I will point out they have minorities in their commercial segments.
Oh, and, again, they will, however, accept their financial contributions to the station from minorities, to be sure.
Pretty ironic--and awful--any time but seems even more so in Black History Month.

KCPT's Again, Still Lily-White "Ruckus"
If you watched KCPT's and Mike Shanin's weekly news program "Ruckus" again this evening, once more, you would think that the Kansas City metropolitan area has not one "person of color" within its borders. Not one Black American, not one Hispanic, not one Asian, nothing. Zip, Nada.
Fortunately, they did have three women on their panel--again, very white--so there's something but the rest? White men, mostly old. All three of the men are clearly Right Wing being one Libertarian and the other two deeply Right Wing.
It really does seem as though no minority person's experience nor opinion matter either to this organization, the local PBS station, or to this city.
And once more, part of the panel discussion was about our just-passed November election. Clearly they think no person in this metropolitan area has any input worth giving to the voting and all its ramifications?
Is there not one person in this city that couldn't be included on this little, cozy club?
Really?
Their name does stand for Kansas City Public Broadcasting. Right?
