I understand the trauma, and if people choose not to go because of it, that's perfectly understandable. But even among those who went, your chances of actually being harmed are incredibly low. They estimated that 1 million people were there (though I'm always skeptical of those estimates), which means that ~0.002% of people who attended were harmed (1 in 50k) and ~0.0002% of people were killed (1 in 500k). Compare that to car crashes, which kill ~40k people per year in the U.S. (1 in 80k).
It's just not that risky in reality even if it is an extremely disconcerting and traumatizing event.

Think my worry becomes does this plant a seed in some psycho's mind that they can pull off an assassination easily in this type of environment?
I wish things could stay the same. But I'm not sure how they can. IF something tragic like an assassination were to happen, history would not remember KC's action (or lack thereof) fondly.
We will find out fast. The other leagues are the ones who will have to make a decision first.
