Letter to the editor: 'Demon-strators' not peaceful

Tribune-Review

It is just a peaceful demon-stration, as said by the mayors and governors of the liberal cities and states, and the Democratic Party.

The word “demon-stration” starts out with the right word: demons, which means evil spirits, causing pandemonium, which means chaos, noise, bedlam, disorder and confusion.

Next, the words “peaceful protester” (to object strongly to make a protest against), with “protest” defined as an organized public demon-stration of disapproval.

With what is happening in these “peaceful demon-strations” — looting, burning of others’ property, graffiti all over buildings, attacking police with bats, clubs, laser and water bottles, and gangs beating on police officers, journalists and others, if honest, I would have to say that these peaceful protests are full of demon-strators.

People who live where the demon- strators are destroying their cities need to vote out of office the mayors, governors, senators and representatives who are encouraging what these demon- strators are doing to their lives and the future lives of their children.

Peaceful (calm, serene, pacific, irenic, halcyon) does not belong with the paragraphs above or in headlines. Peaceful — very laughable.
