Gibbons: Rowan Ford's murderers should receive maximum punishment


Senate President Pro Tem Michael Gibbons, R-St. Louis County, told a GOP gathering at the Newton County Fairgrounds in Neosho Thursday night that Rowan Ford's killers should receive the maximum punishment, according to Wes Frankin's article in the Neosho Daily News. Gibbons is a candidate for attorney general:

Gibbons drew his loudest applause of the night when he declared that the murderers of nine-year-old local girl Rowan Ford should be given the maximum punishment allowed by law.

"We also have an obligation to communicate to the people of this state that when those things happen, those crimes will be aggressively prosecuted and the sentences imposed and performed," Gibbons said.

Nothing warms the heart like a politician, especially one with a poor record on child welfare issues, making political hay of the horrible torture and death of a child. GO GOP!
