To the Editor:
Mr. Sellers (letters May 10th and 17th), you are wrong. Killing is wrong. A man is dead at the hands of another, that is wrong.
You "continue to watch the news on TV" and you "have a few more comments on the subject." That's nice! I am so glad to know you can regurgitate the garbage you call "news on TV" and think you have an original thought.
You say "subdued." Are you serious? Do you truly believe that murder is subduing? The murderer did not know his past, so shut up about it! There is no excusing the taking of a life when you are not in imminent danger. No one on that train was in imminent danger. Jordan Neely needed help. Instead, he received an execution.
How is it that we, as a nation, have come to a place where an entire political party has decided that the lies are true and reality is whatever you believe it to be? It sickens me to see so much of the right wing ecosystem clambering for Tucker Carlson to have a new platform for you to hear his lies. THE MAN WAS FIRED FOR LYING TO YOU AT A COST OF, what is going to be, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS! And where do you place your trust? ...with those whom think popularity equals truth, opinion rules, and "alternative facts" are a real thing.
The party of willful ignorance has chosen to fight a boogeyman of the "woke!" You can't even define it, but it is so scary. You will fall for anything. Such as... oh, help me small Government, get the "woke" out of my life! If we can get the woke out of my movies, toys, teachings... inflation will go down and gas prices will drop. Please, oh small Government, tell the free market, capitalistic society, whom they can market too. Please, oh small Government, tell me what books are available to me. Please, oh small Government, tell me what I can do with my body, for I am a woman, and need an old white man to decide for me.
At this point in history, if you are still supporting the party of Trump, formerly known as the GOP, know that, you are being looked at as a fool. The lies have become so prevalent that it is hard to listen to anyone in the MAGA movement and not have your brain explode from the inconsistencies. I would love to know whether Joe Biden is a senile old man that can't do anything without his handlers controlling him, or is he the international criminal mastermind that enriched everyone in his family?
Please, see the truth. Use your eyes, use your ears, use your brain. Donald J. Trump, and all that defend him, are liars. This is a fact. You only need to look at the number of people convicted of crimes that surround him to know this to be true. An objective view sees that, if you side with MAGA, you will probably be asking for a pardon for the crimes he will have you commit in his name!
