Hostage Standoff At Governor's Office Building In Jefferson City

what is going on this is the 3rd shooting in 1 week what is happing in this world.. imfor my kids to leave the house

With all the state budget cuts, something tells me it was only a matter of time before we cut too close to the quick and cut out something important that someone needs. I'm willing to bet it involves something with heath, education, environment, utilities (not related to an attempt to spend $6 Billion on a second reactor that Callaway County wants), agroculture, property, or unemployment. Because it sure the hell isn't anything to do with MoDOT.

Heaven forbid, any other state agency outside of MoDOT get the funding they need. I mean, its not like there are any pandemics, failing schools, environmental polition problems, rediculuous utility rate hikes, struggling farms, emanent domain abuse, or massive layoffs going on? amirite?

Nixon was a great Attorney General, but he is a TERRIBLE governor! And that is coming from a Democratic supporter!

to the mother of 2. i can tell you what is going on. until we get on our knees and ask god for forgivnest. this is only going to get worst. we have throwed all of gods rules and regulations outy the window. god can't come to school, our work place, in the media, etc. so pucker up you havn't seen nothing yet baby.

I find the "judgements" on these comments interesting to say the least! I agree with MEMA We HAVE lost all respect for life, we no longer teach "respect" in our homes, for anything....yet we wonder why the state of affairs!!!????

Stupid Missourians are so happy to be #50 on nearly every list. They are racing to the bottom to try to become the first state that is also a third-world country.
Missourians don't want to pay any taxes, but yet they want world-class services, schools, infrastructure, medicaide, welfare, and free everything.
It is a shame that many state employees who have degrees and who work in professional-level positions are also eligible for food stamps, etc.
They pay the workers peanuts but have multitude levels of managers and supervisors who are so incompetent and cannot make any decisions. Why don't they get rid of these stupid managers and hire some good ones?

This hostage fiasco is representive of the kind of management running state government.
