Dear Editor,
Let’s get our history correct! Kristalnacht, the attack on Jews and Jewish churches was led by Nazis and associate thugs. Sounds a lot like Minneapolis, except the bad guys here were the same thugs that were running rampant in the streets attacking lawful enforcers of the law and finishing up by attacking a Sunday church service. The recent article attacking ICE and President Trump’s legal authority, calling law enforcement Gestapo apparently didn’t take his world history classes seriously. There were no peaceful demonstrations! Ever since Trump was dutifully elected in 2016 and again in 2024, there has been a concerted effort to get rid of him. Assassination plots didn’t work, impeachments were a sham, and lawsuits were so politically motivated that they stunk to high heavens. The progressive left, or more correctly, Socialists (Communists) are attempting to abolish our Constitution through any means possible. The dimwits who are simply violent mob members are the dupes in this game. As a weapons’ instructor for the military, I taught my troops to shoot to kill. You don’t go for the tires, or the gun-in-the-hand. When you confront evil, you do what is necessary to preserve your life and the lives of those around you who might become victims of idiots with GOOD intents behind the wheel, or by taking a firearm to a mob scene…PRETTY stupid!
Currently, our schools (nationwide) are more interested in teaching DEI, and most recently, how to protest. What happened to the three R’s? You know, a well-educated group of youth is more dangerous to the enemy, than the slogans that are broadcast at these mob scenes. As a teacher, we read the Constitution in my classroom. It is import to know your rights, as well as society’s wrongs. Examine what the First Amendment is really about. You have the right to your opinion, the right to worship in your own way, and even the right to protest peacefully as long as you don’t infringe on the rights of others. That’s why you can yell “fire” inside a theater. The Second Amendment gives you the right to bear arms, not necessarily to hunt animals, but to protect yourselves from tyranny (King George III). If ICE had been the Gestapo, there would have been no prisoners taken, just a pile of dead bodies. That’s another thing, ICE was attempting to enforce the law by removing illegal aliens from Minnesota jails and elsewhere. Minneapolis and both the mayor and the governor were in violation of federal law. They should be prosecuted for not the endangerment of human life, but the death of two of their constituents. By law, an illegal alien is a law breaker. Moreover, when the flood gates were opened, that was an invasion of our nation. The Biden administration should be on trial as well.
Some of my friends in California were legal as well as illegal aliens who came looking for work in the 1960s; they were productive. God bless them!
