Kobach brings Jeep with replica machine gun to Lenexa Independence Day parade

Source: KSHB


LENEXA, Kan. – All eyes at Lenexa’s Community Days Parade this Independence Day were on a replica machine gun. It sat atop a Jeep Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach rode in during the parade.

It’s the second time Kobach has ridden alongside the replica M2 machine gun in a parade in Johnson County. He debuted the gun June 3 during the Old Shawnee Days Parade.

“It definitely got my attention,” said Tom Gallup at Lenexa’s parade.

After being surprised by the gun, Shawnee sent out a rushed statement apologizing for any safety fears the fake gun may have created the day of its parade.

They fantasize about setting on the country like ISIS.

They didn't buy all those guns to shoot at Russians.

Going through the Panama Canal, eating lunch in the Dining room, looked out the window. Saw all those tiny little boats with machine guns on them. I felt like it was a picture of WW2.

Later at the pool, found out the President Of Panama was having lunch with the Captain. Sheame around, shook hands with all of Us.

Later I went to the gift shop, going up the stairs I was mobbed by the Press running up. She had a PR. Then To top it all off,an ugly American next to me began cussing at her Because we gave the Panama Canal back.

Not really a fun day. That is what Kobach reminds me of. Out of the past.

Last I heard it was being planned for Veterans Day, although I've also heard the DoD keeps trying to get it canceled.

wypipo threaten to wipe us liberals out, especially those pesky POC. These POS RWer's now have a leader in the WH that more than assures the racists, white supremacists/nationalists that they will have all the help they need to TRY to do this very thing. MAWA. May the best one win They think they will win Civil War 2.

as far as I'm concerned. I know POC, AA especially, who don't have their nose stuck up the RW ass, will be first on the "wipe out" list and then all other POC Precedent has been set in stone from the very first genocide of First-american Nations and historical and present day ameriKKKa.

I never really trusted that amerika would EVER live up to it's promise of a home for all without judgement, on any basis. Now I know I was right not to trust. Just waiting on hitting the 'iceberg'.

coming into season, I say it's time to launch a few.

At the gun of course, any collateral damage would be pure accident.
