Someone who says they ran away from the mass shooting at the Chiefs parade on Wednesday says they saw someone else running: a GOP governor who frequently touts his support for firearms.

Earlier on Wednesday, between eight and 10 people were shot near the Chiefs Super Bowl parade, and two armed suspects were then placed under arrest, according to Kansas City police, the New York Post and the Associated Press. Chaos erupted.

In that chaos, one man reported seeing Missouri governor Mike Parson running scared.

ETA: My sarcastic comment is directed only toward the "gun-loving governor" who fled to complete safety.

Condolences to the loved ones of those who died and deepest sympathies to those seriously injured and their loved ones.

9. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

[forgotmylogin]

33. ...and nothing they don't. n/t

[BonnieJW]

43. I agree.

Some of them need to be the victims for things to change. And I don't mean a wound to the shoulder. I'm talking about a life altering one. Something that disables them for life.

I also blame responsible gun owners who respect the power of guns. Who have a gun safe and keep it locked. Who teach their children the same respect. Where are you?????

Why are you ok with any Yahoo who wants a military weapon to carry into a mall? Why aren't you speaking out?

[Aristus]

45. Reagan got shot and didn't change his stance on guns.

As before: The Republican Party playbook - Never, ever, ever admit wrongdoing or change one's mind.

[lastlib]

2. Taking a cue from his senior US senator, Runnin' Josh the Coward.

K & R

[Blue Owl]

36. I had the same thought!

[John1956PA]

3. What happened to the "Good Governor with a Gun" meme? n/t

[Postal Grunt]

35. It should also be remembered

that Mr Parsons was the sheriff of Polk County, MO for 22 yrs before he got the fever to go into politics in Jefferson City.

[BidenRocks]

4. More kids getting shot!

Resign in disgrace you cowardly piece of shit!

[Hassler]

5. Jogging Josh, this joker. Missouri GOP likes cowards

[BumRushDaShow]

6. When I saw your OP headline

I was glad I wasn't sipping my tea because it would have ended up like this -




Sounds like this is a "Missouri" thing, 'cause -

[Irish_Dem]

10. Yeah these guys talk real tough. But when shit gets real they run like cowards.

[calimary]

49. Run away, little tough guy! Run away!

[kimbutgar]

7. Yikes I was in Kansas City in October for a convention and had dinner at the Union Station.

Nobody is safe nowadays! Can’t go to the supermarket, mall, church, and now a celebration parade without being in danger ! This is so BS! I hate guns!

[Retrograde]

18. So was I - went to Union Station several times

to catch the free light rail to go out for dinners (kudos to KC for installing this - and making buses free.) I liked the walkways connecting the station, shopping center, and hotels. The city seems to be trying hard to re-vitalize the downtown area and get people there easily.

11. Why'd you run, Guv? Your orange hero would have run towards the sound of shots /s

Missouri's new state motto is "Show me (how fast you flee, coward)."

[keithbvadu2]

29. Trump says he would have rushed in

Trump says he would have rushed in

[Blue Owl]

37. Bwah!

The piece of shit wouldn’t run in but a pile of shit would come running out

[samsingh]

12. republicans are always cowards

[herding cats]

13. This guy is taking a lot of heat, but he's 100% correct.

44. "Frontier Justice"?

WTF?

[herding cats]

48. Oh, I'd missed that!

Good eye!

[calimary]

50. Pathetic.

What century do these folks think we're in?

[UpInArms]

14. Can only say he should have faced the gunmen

And shown how tough he is

What a loser

[Warpy]

15. First sensible thing that woman hating gun nut has done in ages.

Leaving the area as fast as you can is the best response. That way, the field will be clearer and the cops will know who to shoot.

I see the number of people with gunshot wounds is now 22.

[hatrack]

21. Two confirmed dead (so far) . . .

.

[Rebl2]

52. Only one died

as of Friday 2/16.

[Brother Buzz]

16. Cue up little Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax

[question everything]

17. Something about the Missouri machos: Hawley on Jan 6 and now this one

[FakeNoose]

25. Yep - I came here to say the same

Great minds ... etc.

Now we need to figure this out ... what's wrong with Missouri's Repuke politicians?

[rhiannon55]

19. I wonder if he's going to visit the wounded in various hospitals

Especially the kids at Children's Mercy. Or visit the families of the killed and wounded. He might do it for photo ops, but I doubt any of it will change his stance on guns.

[Rebl2]

22. Nope it

won’t change his mind and he’s likely back at state capitol by now.

[liberal N proud]

20. Won't change him.

The gun lobby has them in the palm of their hand and are stroking them with cash and votes

[COL Mustard]

23. Somehow I doubt

That fat fuck could run very far, or very fast. And I say that as a fat fuck myself, with bad knees.

[3catwoman3]

24. Dollars to donuts, most gun humpers...

…would pee their pants in these situations. Big talk with nothing to back it up.

[SouthernDem4ever]

26. Typical Repuglican chicken hawk

[IcyPeas]

27. And if he had been killed what would the GOP response have been?

Would it even change one mind?

Answer: no.

[bahboo]

28. any video...I imagine if there was, we'd have seen it already....

I don't begrudge him running, I'd do the same thing. But the gun humping shit....fuck 'im...

[rubbersole]

30. Hey Mikey, how'd you like your visit from the Karma Fairy?🧚‍♂️

[BlueSpot]

31. Well...

Perhaps he shouldn't have sent his National Guard to Texas. https://governor.mo.gov/media-advisory/governor-parson-hold-press-conference-announce-deployment-missouri-resources

Maybe should have held back a squad or two?

[Demnation]

32. Pussy.

[Skittles]

40. he's actually a dick

a gun-humping piece of shit COWARD

[niyad]

41. Sighhhhh. once again, using a sexist slur for female genitalia as a

synonym for cowardice.

[cstanleytech]

34. Run Forrest Run. nt

[EverHopeful]

38. If I knew how, I'd create a cowards gallery. . .

with Parson, the excellent video of Hawley running, and the screenshot I have of Stefanik cowering during the "normal tourist visit" on Jan. 6th.

[Skittles]

39. GUN HUMPERS ARE COWARDS

NO SURPRISE HERE

[maxrandb]

42. Reminds me of this - "My kids were on that beach too"

46. Brave, brave Sir Robin.

'He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...'

[Hassler]

47. Probably following Haulin Hawley

[calimary]

51. "Haulin' Hawley"!!! OMG!!!

Hassler! You're a Genius!
