What, no mug shots of the (alleged perpetrator) yet? Is this info redacted or something lol. I think I have a pretty good idea on what we are going to see when it’s published.

NS, I live in Cape Girardeau, not Florida or Oregon as you provided articles from those states. I asked you about our local public library. I’ll help you with this
It's possible that the shooter and the injured are juveniles, so the names might not be released. I hope, however, that they will be declared adults; and that includes the injured who were probably involved in the fight, instead of being innocent bystanders.

An earlier Missourian story said that one person was shot in the second story concession area of the building. Your photo shows a victim being treated outside of the building. Please clarify.

It's time to stop walking on eggshells around the thug culture in Cape. The school district is more concerned about keeping the dangerous students in school than the hundreds of kids who DON'T disrupt, disrespect, threaten violence, and fight every single day. Wake up CGPS! The school district cannot fix the home lives of the kids who choose to go down the thug path. Time to focus on the kids who really deserve to be there! Get thugs out of our schools!

Yes it’s the School Officials fault. Their job is to make decisions so that every person at a school event is safe. It is on SEMO DPS and Cape City Chief as well. All should be fired!

Fire the Superintendent, SEMO DPS Chief and Cape City Chief!! You have to take precautions and prepare for these type events in today’s world. I get checked by a metal detector every time I go to a Show Me Center event. The equipment is there use it. At some point Cape has to wake up and make moves for future.

All of the people standing around should have been told to leave,for their safety,the person that first responders were working on,and the first responders safety.

Not calling this what it should be called….attempted murder and it was premeditated shows a pattern of trying to sugarcoat events that happened. Trying to be gentle with words. What happened was horrible and to say it was an altercation is ridiculous.

Typical Central thugs or their family and friends disrupt what was a very special day for all the graduates and their families. It’s out of control. People wonder why Christian and private schools & Jackson continue to grow. It’s to get away from Central Jr High and the High school. Discipline is out of control because the Administration is afraid of the thug parents. They look for the easy way out and the community suffers. And the bottom line is test scores for Cape have plummeted. We need school board members with guts to develop policies to combat this. We need new Administrators who will stand up to parents and kick their kids out. This has to stop NOW!

Maybe this event will stimulate our public school board to finally institute much more strict disciplinary policies and fire administrators and teachers who will not comply because they are afraid of parents. I hate to say it but our secondary public schools are as bad as many in the major cities like St. Louis, Chicago etc. First instead of just instituting a no cell phone policy, we have to spend thousands on BAGS for cell phones. What’s next—metal detectors at all achool events? This is exactly why NO incumbents should be re-elected to the School Board. No one seems to care about student performance either. Even after dumbing down educational goals, centrals student performance statewide is abysmal.

The problem with Biden is he hasn’t any idea what he thinks of the attack on Israel. All he does is repeat what he’s told to say and those remarks depend on who he’s talking to. If it’s a pro Israel group, he talks how tough he is and if it’s Pro Palestinian he talks about his humanitarian aid. This administration has too many bosses an trying to look presidential to both sides makes him look a fool.

Well…hell has probably frozen over as I agree with m Masterson. If politicians had not seized this money for other things, the SS system would not be in the shape it is. Simply budget a repayment back into the system. The government doesn’t seem to have a problem of finding other things to increase its budget, why not make things right with SS.

So Semo is going to offer MBA-Lite to those with no degree or no accounting education or experience. Interesting. SEMO Board of Regents needs to reconsider this offering in lieu of the university becoming a paper mill for easily earned diplomas, something I don't think this should become a popular advertising ploy for this school. Quick money never brings much good.

It's one thing to be ignorant of what is going on. It's quite another to ignore information you've been provided on numerous occasions. I'll save myself the keystrokes and cut and paste one of a number of responses to Biden democrats who haven't a clue what is going on. I would only ask that you either a) admit you were clueless or b) try and argue the point. Acting uninformed for weeks on end isn't a good look.

Despite the misinformation and enabling comments of some on here, some of these books in PUBLIC libraries have illustrations and descriptions of a man graphically fantasizing about sexual relations with a minor. -- Posted by not_sorry on Sat, Feb 24, 2024, at 8:54 AM
Well the book "gender queer" has the picture of an adolescent boy performing oral sex on another boy (among other things), but somehow this is not pornographic. So, really, what's happening is that they are slipping pornography into the young people's library holdings under the guise of "diversity". -- Posted by swamper on Fri, Jan 26, 2024, at 5:35 AM
the books have pornographic descriptions and illustrations. And it's disturbing that people want to allow this in the library. The books aren't banned. Go buy kiddie porn if you want. It's not illegal. Just keep it out of the library. How low the moral/ethical standards of the far-left have dragged the democrat party down. -- Posted by not_sorry on Sun, Jan 28, 2024, at 10:09 AM

Please tell me the pornography the local Public library has that they are pushing on children. I didn’t say anything about banning, I said removing. There’s a difference. Quit lying. You know the Cape library isn’t promoting pornography to children.

Is “guarding liberty” removing books from libraries?Throwing Patriot onto a name doesn’t make it so. -- Posted by 1946 on Sat, May 18, 2024, at 1:02 PM
Is sending a cold-blooded murder to jail taking away their liberty? Yes. Wrong is always wrong 1946 and there are consequences for that.
Removing books from libraries doesn't keep you from buying pornography for your twelve year old child. You have all the liberty you want to corrupt your child... just not on my "public" dime. NO BOOKS ARE BANNED. Quit lying. Only books in PUBLIC libraries have been removed.
Spend your own money to corrupt your children.

All I can say is Shame on those men and women who were voted into their offices to lead and serve the state of Missouri. Grow up or get out of the job we thought we had voted for good representation for the state, the whole state from the Bootheel to Iowa not just from St Louis to Kansas City.

It was your friend (on their 8th name change) who invoked the name of Trump into this conversation which was ignored by you because of your strong bias for far-left democrats.
As for posting, your hypocrisy is showing again. You chide me (yawn) for posting my opinion then talk about how this is a free and open forum.
Look Wilburn Richardson, I've been living in SE Missouri a lot longer than you according to your trumped-up autobiography. I've only had 3 names on here over many, many years of posting because the paper changed its policies and required those name changes. I only have one now. Unlike you who has multiple accounts and clicks "Respect" on his own postings. Now that's weird.

As a private business, the NFL legally can do what it wants as long as it follows the antitrust laws, but to answer the question-- no, I am not okay with exclusive streaming. If they are going to stream, games should also be simulcast on over the air or cable stations.
And as for the name change. Didn’t you use to go by Doug? Doug Williams, and there has been a strong suspicion that you went by several other aliases. That is a right exercised by many out here. This is a free and open forum. You don’t run it.

“you're still the same marxist/socialist supporter.”
Good heavens, Rhetoric from the 1960s. Do you have a bomb shelter up there in bug tussle also? Folks are discussing the fate of Mavis Jordan, not western civilization. The general consensus is that Cape county would be better off writing this guy off if guilty, and moving on. Let’s not turn it into a 1960s conflict between communism, socialism, and democracy. The guy is a flake, and those complaining are concerned citizens, not followers of Vladimir Lenin or Joseph Stalin.

Actually the story is from Media Research Center “investigations” that Fox is cutting & pasting. Who is Media Research Center? Well, the founder Brent Bozell has a son who was just sentenced to 4 years for his violent conduct on Jan 6.
I feel our focus should be on the accomplishment, not the misuse of a word. (The director has obtained a doctorate in education, like seeing proper grammar by our leaders)
Great job Mr. Collier and Cape Central Academy. (Agreed bully!)

Savings are now over $5,000 since the cableTV was cut, haven't yet succumbed to subscribing with any pay-for-play streaming services to 'creep' back in against those savings.
With the 49 antenna channels available in this area, along with the digital recorder to capture the off-hours or overnight stuff, figure to just turn my attention elsewhere by either watching something else, or better yet, actually getting up on my horse and off my dead keister by doing something productive during those times. :-)
Simple economics - if that's where the 'supply' is headed, fine, just gonna be a count of one less 'demand' for it here.

"...Biden was inaugurated." -- Posted by not_sorry on Fri, May 17, 2024, at 2:11 PM
CPI value Apr 2024 - 313.548
CPI value Jan 2021 - 261.582
Calculated inflation over that period for the given particular market basket of goods, weighting factors, etc. == ((313.548 / 261.582) - 1.0) x 100% = 19.86%
CPI value Jan 2017 - 242.839
Inflation from Jan 2017 to Jan 2021 = 7.71%, across a period 9 months longer than above.
Exactly fxpwt. And what one should add to those numbers is the record inflation since Biden was inaugurated. Add it all up and it's a massive tax on Americans.
