What To Do
Chapel is hoping the bill will be removed from law. He wants to see a change in how the Justice Department deals with hate crimes. He wants Law Enforcement officers to treat people better on the streets.
Chapel said “we need to have some basic ground rules for how human beings treat each other.” He said he met with the Governor about the bill. Despite his efforts Greitens still signed the bill.
He even took Faith leaders with him to a meeting with the Governor. This meeting was unsuccessful.
Chapel said “you have violations of civil rights that are happening to people. They’re being pulled over because of their skin color; they’re being beaten up or killed,”
He asked “how do you come to Missouri, run out of gas and find yourself dead in a jail cell when you haven’t broken any laws?”
The press was unable to receive any comment from Greitens’s office. Attempts to reach the Missouri Tourism Division proved futile.
The advisory is a warning to be very careful if traveling in and through Missouri. If you can avoid the area, you are encouraged to do so. To find yourself an alternative route or place to visit.
