Today's Poll!‘Target stickers’ still being probed
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Law officers continued their investigation Wednesday into the small, orange “target crosshairs” stickers that appeared Tuesday outside the doors of a half-dozen Missouri state lawmakers.
But Public Safety Department spokesman Mike O’Connell made no statement on their progress.
During the continuing debate on a bill that would change Missouri’s workplace discrimination laws, several senators talked about the stickers’ effect on their mood — how they were upset, frustrated and angry.
But like everyone else, they had no new information about who might have placed the stickers on the hallway nameplates of five Senate Democrats and one House Republican — on three different floors of the four-story state Capitol.
Senate Administrator Jim Howerton said no one had told him any new information.
The Capitol Police and Highway Patrol both were asked to investigate the stickers, which raised concerns for some because they suggested the lawmakers might be targeted for some kind of violence, because of stands they have taken on pending legislation.

Are there no cameras in that place? No homeland security inside the capital with all of those gun toting legislators? Too scary for me to visit, lol.

Somebody had to buy a lot of red and yellow ink to do this . . .

Looks to me there’s more being put into this than necessary and a few are using it to grandstand and get heard. It looks more like a high school prank than anything.
By the way what was done that was criminal in nature? Littering perhaps for putting something unapproved on the wall? I can understand that it needs to be looked into but this is a very low priority event and should be treated as such. Even if it offends someone it’s not against the law to offend, yet.
