Gov. Mike Parson said Thursday that the act was potentially criminal and that the state would investigate and potentially prosecute the reporter.

A responsible person would alert the State to this flaw so it could be corrected without costing money or danger to innocent victims. This so called journalist needs to do some hard jail time.

Will Mason

I voted yes due to the incredibly biased way your question is posed. The question should say " should the state investigate the reporterwho hacked the system." he did not do it to expose flaws. He did it to dig up dirt. Exposing the flaw was a side effect. Not the intent.

Vernon Taylor

Politically motivated and potentially (read most likely) criminal - that is an apt description of the St. Louis Post Disgrace.

At least HE found it!!

The reporter just did their job. Parson just doesn't want to take responsibility.

Max

If that is true, then the reporter can institute legal proceedings against Parson and get rich, unless the very biased press is not telling the truth. We will see.

Brian Jones

Because the reporter did nothing with the info except report it to the people that needed to fix it. Parsons has no clue of how to run Missouri.

Why are the marines any different than any other branch of service that gets deployed in U.S. As a veteran- I have been deployed for things in U.S. over the years- it’s not just for protecting us in foreign countries Our oath of office says we will protect foreign and domestic

Newsom, Bass and Waters can't handle the situation. I believe the Marines should be a last resort but certainly an option on the table.

Eric Smith

Maxine Waters face alone should be a warning to the world that a darwinian subspecies has overtaken southern California

What do you do when a foreign body rises up on American soil. You make an example out of it. Never understood the waving of other countries flags in these situations. They are sending you back to the country you are so proud of. Im hoping they're treated like armed combatants.

Belinda Kitchen

Because someone needs to help cause obviously the government in California don't care . The president is doing all that he can to help . I say if ur illegal you need to leave either willingly or by forcing.

Max DeYoung

This is an insurrection, with guns and devastating fires. They should all be arrested and treated with same due process as the Jan 6th people.

Toasty

Would you be saying the same thing if Biden had deployed the Marines on Jan 6th? Even the National Guard seems a little over the top, but Newsom is 100% responsible for the chaos. He needs to be held accountable for not supporting ICE and the arrests of the criminals that broke into our country.

This is not an insurrection! The police set their own car on fire from what I heard. These protests were peaceful for the most part until Felon47 got involved. They did cause a lot of damage with the graffiti, but no one was injure bc of it. Maybe Felon47 should have sent 700 Maries like your post o

Fat Guy Outdoors

You heard they destroyed their own police cars. I would suggest you change the place where you get your lies from. They burned they're own cars. Wow. TDS is real.

Lisha Lammers

No, the Marines should NOT be deployed to States against their own people.

Toasty

Not that it may not be warranted, but sets a bad precedence when, not if, a real socialist tricks his/her way into the power and justifies deploying our military against her citizens to 'keep the peace'. I voted for Trump, but lets call 'balls and strikes', he does not get a pass for this behavior.
