Letter to the editor: Is 'lock and load' way to deal with disagreement?

Kathleen Bollinger’s latest diatribe “Health care and mask mandates” (June 11, TribLIVE) deserves to be broadly challenged. She, along with others of her seemingly angry, misguided ilk, advocates violence if she doesn’t get her way — writing that Gov. Tom Wolf “should be removed using any necessary force” if he doesn’t “open up the entire state.” Others out on the unstable right-wing fringe freely contemplate “civil war” and “the coming revolution.”

Is this temper-tantrum outlook in any way Christian? Of course not.

Last year, U.S. Rep. Steve King of Iowa shared a social media message suggesting that in a civil war, the red-state side would win because it “has about 8 trillion bullets.” How many bullets did Jesus have, by the way?

I don’t agree with anything Bollinger has ever written. What are you going to do, lock and load?

You need to look in a mirror, read the U.S. Constitution, study the New Testament and maybe take a healthy dose of thorazine. Just lighten up, OK?
