Gun crosshairs found on Missouri senators' doors

[alp227]

Five Missouri state senators, all Democrats, found stickers resembling rifle crosshairs on the doors to their Capitol offices Tuesday as the legislature debated health care reform, several senators said.

"This is a very open act," said Sen. Maria Chappell-Nadal, who said she was taking it as a serious threat.

Police presence in the hallways of the capitol in Jefferson City was stepped up after the discovery, Chappell-Nadal said.

Capitol police and the Missouri State Highway Patrol have taken the brass nameplates where the small orange stickers were placed, she said. A police spokesman would not comment to CNN.

1. Nope. One is a republican.

Wouldn't put it past him being behind this and putting a sticker on his own door so he doesn't look guilty.

On edit: CNN left this out. One of the doors was to a GOP rep's office. They weren't all Democrats.

23. What about knives? (Not suggesting anything.)

Just asking.

Having knives, or chainsaws, arrows, rocks, or anything else cannot solve these problems too.

The point I try to make is, these problems are inside the heads of the brainwashed.

25. Makes a case for the Low IQ study then

. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.

20. Worse yet, any human with a writing instrument can draw crosshairs.

So we need to take a long look at writing instruments and stickers. A long look.
