But that was taken away from us, and 106 00:05:14,028 --> 00:05:16,748 Speaker 7: it was taken away from you by people that decided 107 00:05:16,828 --> 00:05:19,548 Speaker 7: to do what they did yesterday, and for the children 108 00:05:19,588 --> 00:05:20,788 Speaker 7: that was out there. 109 00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:21,988 Speaker 8: Their innocence was taking away. 110 00:05:22,068 --> 00:05:24,508 Speaker 7: They were part of something that they never should have witnessed, 111 00:05:24,548 --> 00:05:26,588 Speaker 7: that they never should have been a part of, and 112 00:05:26,628 --> 00:05:29,148 Speaker 7: you can't take that back. So this morning, I don't 113 00:05:29,148 --> 00:05:31,548 Speaker 7: know how I feel. I'm trying to figure out between 114 00:05:31,548 --> 00:05:33,708 Speaker 7: sadness and anger, and I don't know.

I'm pretty 178 00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:07,028 Speaker 1: angry about it too, because, yeah, especially you know, we're 179 00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:08,508 Speaker 1: all parents that the kids show up that day and 180 00:08:08,508 --> 00:08:10,788 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a life memory and they always remember 181 00:08:10,788 --> 00:08:12,228 Speaker 1: when they were seven, or when they were twelve, when 182 00:08:12,228 --> 00:08:14,268 Speaker 1: they were thirteen, they went to the Chief's parade, and 183 00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:15,668 Speaker 1: now they will have the life memory. It'll be for 184 00:08:15,708 --> 00:08:18,508 Speaker 1: a different reason. I do have some resistance and some 185 00:08:18,548 --> 00:08:20,188 Speaker 1: pushback to a lot of the things that I'm seeing 186 00:08:20,188 --> 00:08:23,068 Speaker 1: out there, this idea that you know, maybe we just 187 00:08:23,148 --> 00:08:25,468 Speaker 1: can't have super Bowl parades anymore. No, no, no, no, We're 188 00:08:25,468 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 1: having super Bowl parades. That's not the way it works. 189 00:08:27,268 --> 00:08:30,348 Speaker 1: That is important to us. People like them. You don't 190 00:08:30,348 --> 00:08:32,148 Speaker 1: get to take them from us. That's not the way 191 00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:34,308 Speaker 1: it works. We don't stop doing things that we like 192 00:08:34,388 --> 00:08:36,948 Speaker 1: and traditions because some human garbage with the gun. It's 193 00:08:36,948 --> 00:08:39,548 Speaker 1: not the way it works. They don't win. Like my 194 00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:41,628 Speaker 1: son has chosen the team that he wants to follow 195 00:08:41,668 --> 00:08:43,108 Speaker 1: for life, and when that team wins a super Bowl, 196 00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:46,748 Speaker 1: we're going to the parade. Social media, yes, they're unbelievable 197 00:08:46,828 --> 00:08:48,588 Speaker 1: and in all kinds of ways. And I know it 198 00:08:48,588 --> 00:08:51,628 Speaker 1: gets very very political, very fast, and I think that 199 00:08:52,148 --> 00:08:55,348 Speaker 1: so many missives that I see are so off fundamentally. 200 00:08:55,988 --> 00:08:56,468 Speaker 10: Some of it. 201 00:08:56,508 --> 00:08:59,468 Speaker 1: I think, at best, is a waste of breath. At 202 00:08:59,508 --> 00:09:04,348 Speaker 1: worse is posturing, and I see things there's panicked tweet 203 00:09:04,468 --> 00:09:06,748 Speaker 1: about we're not safe and we can't protect our children. 204 00:09:07,908 --> 00:09:10,988 Speaker 1: There's nothing constructive, there's nothing, no solution offer it, and 205 00:09:11,028 --> 00:09:13,428 Speaker 1: all that screaming is doing, I think is increasing fear 206 00:09:13,468 --> 00:09:16,548 Speaker 1: and increasing anxiety. It really really bothers me. And then 207 00:09:16,548 --> 00:09:21,508 Speaker 1: the other archetype of someone needs to do something, we 208 00:09:21,588 --> 00:09:26,788 Speaker 1: need to change. Okay, so take three minutes or take 209 00:09:26,828 --> 00:09:31,788 Speaker 1: the weekend and research and find ascending politicians who fall 210 00:09:31,828 --> 00:09:34,068 Speaker 1: in line with your political beliefs, whatever they may be, 211 00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:36,868 Speaker 1: and tweet about them or share that info. I'm seeing 212 00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:40,508 Speaker 1: people with massive platforms find people and have them on 213 00:09:40,548 --> 00:09:45,028 Speaker 1: your show, have them on your podcast, especially if you're 214 00:09:45,028 --> 00:09:47,508 Speaker 1: in the rare air of someone who has a large 215 00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:51,268 Speaker 1: platform and the extremely rare air of having the autonomy 216 00:09:51,308 --> 00:09:53,868 Speaker 1: to have anyone on that platform with any message that 217 00:09:53,948 --> 00:09:54,348 Speaker 1: you want. 218 00:09:54,708 --> 00:09:55,668 Speaker 8: You can tweet all day. 219 00:09:55,748 --> 00:09:58,748 Speaker 1: Something needs to change. It's an electioneer. It doesn't have 220 00:09:58,788 --> 00:10:02,468 Speaker 1: to be federal, local, state. If you want different or 221 00:10:02,508 --> 00:10:06,388 Speaker 1: you want the same choice, solution, share something. You have 222 00:10:06,428 --> 00:10:10,148 Speaker 1: a massive platform and obviously a passion for it, research 223 00:10:10,268 --> 00:10:13,668 Speaker 1: present and use your platform and your autonomy to be 224 00:10:13,908 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 1: solutions based other than just one tweet and prayers and 225 00:10:16,548 --> 00:10:18,748 Speaker 1: then you're moving on to whatever. It's frustrating to me. 226 00:10:18,788 --> 00:10:21,948 Speaker 1: It does nothing be solution based if you want anything 227 00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:24,828 Speaker 1: to change, or even give it a try, because we'll 228 00:10:24,868 --> 00:10:26,988 Speaker 1: be having this conversation again. I come out on the 229 00:10:27,028 --> 00:10:29,668 Speaker 1: anger side, different phases. I'm the angry face. 230 00:10:30,268 --> 00:10:32,588 Speaker 2: It's a very nauseating cycle to be a part of 231 00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:35,748 Speaker 2: Kyle to your point, to witness these things happen, to 232 00:10:36,308 --> 00:10:39,748 Speaker 2: have the emotional aftermath and then the response, and then. 233 00:10:40,588 --> 00:10:41,788 Speaker 6: You rinse and repeat. 234 00:10:42,148 --> 00:10:46,668 Speaker 2: Articles that I've been reading had other shootings listed at 235 00:10:46,708 --> 00:10:51,028 Speaker 2: sporting celebratory sporting events, and sadly I had forgotten some 236 00:10:51,148 --> 00:10:53,548 Speaker 2: of them that had happened. Because now this is an 237 00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:57,788 Speaker 2: occurrence that is happening twice a year, once every couple 238 00:10:57,828 --> 00:10:58,268 Speaker 2: of years. 239 00:10:58,308 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 6: It's happening far too often. 240 00:11:01,548 --> 00:11:01,748 Speaker 5: Pier. 241 00:11:01,868 --> 00:11:05,428 Speaker 2: You use the word morn, and it's such a specific 242 00:11:05,548 --> 00:11:09,068 Speaker 2: and powerful word to use in the circumstance of death 243 00:11:09,148 --> 00:11:12,828 Speaker 2: often and sadly, in gun violence. Now in our country, 244 00:11:13,148 --> 00:11:16,468 Speaker 2: morn is no longer reserved for death. We are mourning 245 00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:20,148 Speaker 2: the freedom. Even if you say you want to go 246 00:11:20,188 --> 00:11:22,788 Speaker 2: to public spaces and celebrate. We are mourning the freedom. 247 00:11:22,828 --> 00:11:27,428 Speaker 2: We are mourning the loss of aloofness we used to 248 00:11:27,428 --> 00:11:30,348 Speaker 2: have when we would arrive in public spaces and jams, 249 00:11:30,388 --> 00:11:33,428 Speaker 2: pack spaces as parents at the table. No longer do 250 00:11:33,468 --> 00:11:36,388 Speaker 2: we get to arrive into public places and not have 251 00:11:36,468 --> 00:11:39,868 Speaker 2: the fear. I mourn the loss of not being scared 252 00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:42,588 Speaker 2: when I go to a sporting event. Now this is 253 00:11:42,628 --> 00:11:43,348 Speaker 2: a very real thing. 254 00:11:43,388 --> 00:11:44,988 Speaker 6: I used to think about going to football games, but 255 00:11:45,028 --> 00:11:45,348 Speaker 6: now we. 256 00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:49,548 Speaker 2: Have to echo it out across celebratory events. There was 257 00:11:49,588 --> 00:11:51,588 Speaker 2: a woman in the sound we just played that used 258 00:11:51,588 --> 00:11:55,668 Speaker 2: the word tarnished. Tarnished is the respectability of an event 259 00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:58,508 Speaker 2: like this and this celebratory nature. All of these words 260 00:11:58,628 --> 00:12:02,068 Speaker 2: used to be used for tragic circumstances that only happened 261 00:12:02,108 --> 00:12:06,108 Speaker 2: ever so often, and now they are the words themselves. 262 00:12:06,188 --> 00:12:08,828 Speaker 2: The definition and the application of them are being tarnished. 263 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:12,588 Speaker 2: They're being deadened because we can't figure out a solution 264 00:12:12,668 --> 00:12:15,348 Speaker 2: to this problem. The children that were affected by this. 265 00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:20,308 Speaker 2: The spokesperson for the Children's Mercy Children's Hospital in Kansas City, 266 00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:23,908 Speaker 2: she was asked yesterday what are the state of the 267 00:12:23,908 --> 00:12:25,908 Speaker 2: patients that you have, the children that you have, and 268 00:12:25,948 --> 00:12:28,628 Speaker 2: she said they were so scared they were in fear. 269 00:12:29,108 --> 00:12:32,188 Speaker 2: That was her first assessment of the state of their injuries. 270 00:12:33,108 --> 00:12:34,788 Speaker 2: And that is nothing that we can, we will ever 271 00:12:34,828 --> 00:12:38,828 Speaker 2: be able to fix for these kids. And it's just really, 272 00:12:38,908 --> 00:12:43,508 Speaker 2: really it makes my handshake. I'm not really angry, I'm 273 00:12:43,548 --> 00:12:46,348 Speaker 2: in shock still, and maybe that's naive of me, but 274 00:12:46,668 --> 00:12:50,988 Speaker 2: it's it's just it's a new world that we as 275 00:12:50,988 --> 00:12:53,708 Speaker 2: a table have to address and you, as football fans 276 00:12:53,748 --> 00:12:56,548 Speaker 2: have to address, and it just makes me very very sad, 277 00:12:56,988 --> 00:12:57,628 Speaker 2: very very sad. 278 00:12:58,188 --> 00:12:59,668 Speaker 6: We're all frustrated at the table. 279 00:13:00,148 --> 00:13:02,348 Speaker 2: We are here with you on Good Morning Football this 280 00:13:02,388 --> 00:13:03,668 Speaker 2: morning on NFL Network. 281 00:13:03,708 --> 00:13:05,028 Speaker 6: We will have live. 282 00:13:04,948 --> 00:13:08,988 Speaker 2: Updates from reporters who were at the scene and of course, 283 00:13:09,308 --> 00:13:12,988 Speaker 2: anything else that transpires throughout the morning after the events 284 00:13:13,068 --> 00:13:14,148 Speaker 2: yesterday in Kansas City. 285 00:13:14,148 --> 00:13:19,148 Speaker 6: We've got more Good Morning Football coming your way after this, and. 286 00:13:19,108 --> 00:13:21,868 Speaker 11: Well, Salivan, welcome back to Good Morning Football. We started 287 00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:24,388 Speaker 11: as a day of celebration in Kansas City at a 288 00:13:24,468 --> 00:13:28,428 Speaker 11: victory parade, turned tragic when gunman opened fire following the 289 00:13:28,508 --> 00:13:32,588 Speaker 11: prey that claimed the life one person and injured nearly 290 00:13:32,668 --> 00:13:36,508 Speaker 11: two dozen more. Three spot suspects have been detained, one 291 00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:39,188 Speaker 11: of them believed to have been taken down by the 292 00:13:39,228 --> 00:13:43,268 Speaker 11: heroic actions of some people in attendance. One of those heroes, 293 00:13:43,348 --> 00:13:47,828 Speaker 11: Paul Contreres and his daughter Alyssa, joining NFL Total Access 294 00:13:48,108 --> 00:13:50,548 Speaker 11: and talked about those chaotic moments. 295 00:13:51,908 --> 00:13:55,388 Speaker 7: Take us through, Paul, Melissa, what you experienced moments before 296 00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:56,588 Speaker 7: that video was tacked. 297 00:13:57,548 --> 00:14:00,708 Speaker 12: I mean before that, it was all celebration, back to back, 298 00:14:00,868 --> 00:14:07,028 Speaker 12: you know, championship, all on stage doing speeches. Not long 299 00:14:07,068 --> 00:14:10,748 Speaker 12: after they were done, everybody just starts dispersing, you know, 300 00:14:10,828 --> 00:14:12,948 Speaker 12: which what I think would be going back to their cars. 301 00:14:14,188 --> 00:14:17,668 Speaker 12: Millions of people everywhere just walking around. As we're heading 302 00:14:17,708 --> 00:14:19,268 Speaker 12: back towards our cars. 303 00:14:19,468 --> 00:14:21,668 Speaker 10: We just hear pop pop pop, pop pop. 304 00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:24,948 Speaker 12: And we're leaving a celebration and nobody ran. So I 305 00:14:24,988 --> 00:14:27,988 Speaker 12: assumed we all thought of his fireworks. To when we 306 00:14:28,028 --> 00:14:32,708 Speaker 12: get not much further up and we notice two offenders running, 307 00:14:33,068 --> 00:14:37,268 Speaker 12: multiple multiple police chasing them, then we soon realized those 308 00:14:37,388 --> 00:14:41,348 Speaker 12: might not have been fireworks. To where we eventually tried 309 00:14:41,388 --> 00:14:43,188 Speaker 12: to get over to a bridge and we're kind of 310 00:14:43,228 --> 00:14:47,788 Speaker 12: cut off to then where it turns into everybody dispersing 311 00:14:47,828 --> 00:14:50,828 Speaker 12: and running, and so in that moment, we knew, okay, 312 00:14:51,588 --> 00:14:54,908 Speaker 12: both my sisters left fled I turned around to see 313 00:14:54,908 --> 00:14:57,508 Speaker 12: where my dad is. Next thing I know is he's, 314 00:14:57,548 --> 00:15:00,668 Speaker 12: you know, jumping in and tackling this second offender. 315 00:15:02,548 --> 00:15:05,988 Speaker 10: So Paul, tell us about that. You tackled the guy. 316 00:15:06,588 --> 00:15:09,628 Speaker 10: Did you see a gun? Can you describe what happened? 317 00:15:10,788 --> 00:15:11,628 Speaker 8: Yeah, So. 318 00:15:13,348 --> 00:15:18,348 Speaker 13: Everybody's going in one direction and leaving, and there's a 319 00:15:18,548 --> 00:15:22,548 Speaker 13: gentleman screaming at the top of his lungs saying stop 320 00:15:22,628 --> 00:15:26,708 Speaker 13: this guy. Tackle this guy. And I'm looking and he's 321 00:15:27,748 --> 00:15:32,748 Speaker 13: running in the opposite direction. So it was just a reaction. 322 00:15:33,108 --> 00:15:37,028 Speaker 13: He got right there with, you know, close to me, 323 00:15:37,788 --> 00:15:40,708 Speaker 13: and I had the perfect hangle and I took him down, 324 00:15:41,868 --> 00:15:45,468 Speaker 13: attacking him from the back. So as I hit him 325 00:15:45,708 --> 00:15:48,588 Speaker 13: and I'm getting my arms around him and i'm tackling him, 326 00:15:49,108 --> 00:15:53,868 Speaker 13: I see this gun. So either I hit when I 327 00:15:53,948 --> 00:15:55,588 Speaker 13: hit him, I either hit the gun out of his 328 00:15:55,668 --> 00:15:58,548 Speaker 13: hand or it fell out of a sleep because he's 329 00:15:58,588 --> 00:16:02,068 Speaker 13: wearing like a big bulky jacket. So right then and there, 330 00:16:02,148 --> 00:16:06,028 Speaker 13: I see that gun hit the floor the ground. That 331 00:16:06,108 --> 00:16:08,908 Speaker 13: just gives me more energy to take him down and 332 00:16:08,988 --> 00:16:13,188 Speaker 13: put all my weight on him, and he's squirming and 333 00:16:14,548 --> 00:16:16,908 Speaker 13: doing everything trying to get up. And then another good 334 00:16:16,908 --> 00:16:19,628 Speaker 13: Samaritan comes over it, so I'm kind of got him 335 00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:22,148 Speaker 13: on the top, and the other good Samaritan gets hi 336 00:16:22,188 --> 00:16:26,828 Speaker 13: him on the waist, So okay, I got out, but still, 337 00:16:26,908 --> 00:16:30,588 Speaker 13: I mean, we can't let this guy up because I 338 00:16:30,628 --> 00:16:33,628 Speaker 13: already seen one gun. He's got a big booky Jackie, 339 00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:38,548 Speaker 13: you got one, you might have two, So holding him down, 340 00:16:38,588 --> 00:16:41,228 Speaker 13: holding him down. Then another good Samaritan comes over, is 341 00:16:41,268 --> 00:16:43,948 Speaker 13: helping us, and then the first cop gets there, the 342 00:16:44,028 --> 00:16:49,028 Speaker 13: second cop, third cop, And by the time the third 343 00:16:49,028 --> 00:16:51,668 Speaker 13: one got there, I'm getting up.
