It’s become very unsafe; Columbia use to be on the most desirable places to live in the country… based partly on how safe it was; now it’s become unsafe!

It scares me to go there. I only go to Columbia, when it can not be avoided. I'm old and can't defend myself like a young man. I served my country for eleven years when I was younger. I would have done 20 but I chose a job that paid 3 times what my E-6 military pay was. Thanks to President Carter

Yet you have no problem with allowing taxpayer-funded state employees who are graduates of UM, collecting taxpayer funded pensions so they can “spend their retirement at UM ball games”?! You need to join our movement to start filing complaints against these kinds of people

Carter drove many good soldiers away, I'm glad that I was one of them.

It isn't 'gun violence'. I've got a dozen guns that aren't hurting anybody. They're not going to steal my car, drive to Columbia and shoot up the town. Columbia has gone to hell- crimes perpetrated by people already prohibited from possessing guns. No way I'd send a kid to MU.

Do you approve of state employees being able to retire, draw a lifetime pension of thousands of dollars each month so they can spend their retirement “going to MU sports” like one local MoDOT engineer in my town has publicly stated? I can give name & title if anyone wants to file a complaint.

Columbia has ALWAYS been communist. Why would government funded poverty and crime be a surprise?

So what are you going to do about it? Just sit there and condone it instead of taking action against state employees who publicly go on record saying they are going to take their taxpayer funded pensions and move there to “watch MU sports for retirement”? Want some names/numbers and file complaints?

The leadership of this town is what scares me. Or lack of it .

Because the mayors have been inadequate to get crime under control in their cities.

The Mayor and Chief of Police are quite capable of handling the LOW crime rate in D.C.

Other than the GOP, crime in DC has already gone down.

Once again the president is fabricating an emergency to expand his power when all evidence point to the contrary. D.C. is at its lowest crime rate in 30 years there is no emergency that warrants the mobilization of the national guard.

It's just one more step toward martial law and autocracy. Elections and democracy may be a thing of the past here in America.

Another distraction from the Epstein files. Release the files. DC crime rate at a 30 year low. What happened on Jan6 when tRump said he didn’t have the authority to call in the National Guard and blamed the Dems? No peace for tRump until he releases the files.

This is an escalation of implementing Project 2025... start taking over the blue cities and turn them into police states.

DC doesn't need or want intervention. We are not Russia, China, or North Korea. We don't want a heartless dictator or king. Our nation should truly be the land of opportunity.

He is criminalizing homelessness, which should not be a crime. This is the move of an authoritarian wannabe dictator. American military are not and should not be a police force. This is a half-step from groups like the Gestapo and brown shirts.

Normalizing the presence of military personnel in the streets of American cities is a big step toward fascism.

No need for them, crime is down in DC and homeless is not hurting nobody. He didn't do this when his fan base was wrecking the capitol

Crime is down for those who need crime to be down. Crime is up for those who need crime to be up. Find a different argument.

President Trump should be supporting local enforcement, not using the national guard to give out parking tickets.
