Don't expand definition of "dangerous felonies"
Coverage of SB600 by The Missouri Times: SB 600 changes the definition of "dangerous felonies" to include armed criminal action, carjacking, and conspiracy. Additionally, it denies eligibility to offenders of felonies involving a deadly
weapon. [The bill's sponsor noted]: "Much of our crime is caused by a small group of repeat offenders who are on the streets because liberal prosecutors release them on probation--65% of dangerous felons put on probation have re-offended. SB 600 ends
this catch-and-release practice."
The bill has seen opposition from a number of organizations, including the ACLU and AFP-MO, which urged the governor to veto the bill. The organizations cited that the "bill doesn't make Missourians safer and forces
taxpayers to pay half a billion dollars for two new prisons.
Legislative outcome: Passed Senate 27-2-2 on Feb/20/20; Passed House 97-51-14 on May/15/20; State Rep. Jim Neely voted NO; Signed by Governor Mike Parson on Jul/6/20

Death penalty too easy; force perverts to do hard labor
Republican State Senator Wieland says his religious opposition to abortion has a moral flip-side; as a Catholic, he believes the government shouldn't be in the business of executing people.
It's not like Wieland is turning his back on the tough-on-crime ethos. The state senator says serving a life sentence in prison is far worse than a quick death.
Republican Representative Jim Neely, a co-sponsor to the House version of Wieland bill, took that argument to its logical extreme, "The perverts that perpetrate horrific
crimes deserve much crueler punishment than we can constitutionally carry out as a State. Our best legal option is to lock these people away and force them to do hard labor until they die."
