only in a state like Oregon would democrats vote to NOT penalize people that brutally beat people to the degree they have life altering injuries. How is this even real. This should be voted on with 100% support. The question you need to ask is why?

I vote for tougher penalties on crime altogether. Especially violent crime towards children. Anyone who harms a child like Ezra should never see the light of day again. Stop this soft on crime BS. DA's and judges should be permanently removed from office.

Absolutely, there needs to be accountability for one's actions.

Oregon is far too soft on crime in general, the courts need to step it up and do their job, one should not have a dozen parole/probation violations before they just simply get locked up for a spell, this should have happened the first violation!!

Yes definitely, that poor child's life has been terribly altered! We need much tougher serious crime punishments, the soft on crime left proves it is deeply hurting America. Dangerous criminal walking the streets and hurting more people is seriously unbelievable, the D A ,s should be charged!

He shot the boy because he was black. If the boy was white we would not be having a debate right now. He should be charged with attempted murder.

Hell yes they do!! How many more is going to die?? I still believe that resource officer in Florida needed to be charged with murder as well as those cops didn't do one thing to help those 2 teachers and those students in Uvalde Texas They are as guilty as the one that pulled the trigger

The schools also need trained and qualified security, with sufficient firepower, on campus at all times.

This costly measure would give schools and families a sense of security--as have other $$ measures. But it likely won't keep kids any safer from (exceedingly rare) gun violence on campus.

Two months ago, you posted, "Missouri is at THE BOTTOM for education spending, for our horrifying gun violence, and in so many other urgent areas our lawmakers should be addressing. The actual gun violence frequency is low, however our children are priceless. They deserve protection from criminals.
