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.

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

If they are not here legally and they don't wont to support our laws then they need to go back. Disgraceful.

Just handle it like a Kent State situation instead, that solves it.

Our constitution gives us the right for peaceful demonstration. MAGA wants to take your rights away and give them to Putin. Wake Up

Protesting is an American right and protected by the first amendment of the United States Constitution. Every American has the right to address congress of their grievances.
