How different people in the Midwest are compared to other parts of the country. An estimated 800,000 people showed up for the World Series parade and rally in KC yesterday. No cars were burnt, no riots started, nobody was shot, no one was stabbed, and there wasn't any looting. As of last evening KCPD reported that a total of THREE arrests had been made. People who went said folks were having a good time and just got along. I do not like crowds and wouldn't have been caught dead down there but heard from numerous people who went.
Now think back to when sporting events have been won in the recent past in LA, NY, etc... I am glad to live in the Heartland.
