Yes, in fact, your "leaders" are doing too much. This isn't a gun problem. This isn't a crime problem. It's a money problem. Poor people commit violent crimes. Solve the money problem, solve the, well, everything else.

Because it continues to happen regularly. Too many times they lack suspects or leads. They lack community trust.

They are, however spending too much time luring homeless people to the city.

As we can already tell, the orange shirt campaign is really working this week to curb crime and gun violence. So glad they came up with that idea!

This has become such a regular occurrence that we have started avoiding going shopping in Columbia. Instead driving to Moberly. There seems to be more daytime incidents than ever before. The criminals seem emboldened by the lack of police presence.

We need more police and fewer guns and more politicians who don't fear the NRA.

We already have too many democrats that are trying to crush the second amendment along with the rest of the Bill Of Rights, and the entire Constitution.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.
