Letter to the editor: Protesters' destruction just adds to problem

Tribune-Review

Here we go again. People say they are protesting the injustice of brutality, and that part is fine. Why does this make it OK to destroy property, burn buildings, loot businesses and block public highways? A protest is one thing; destruction is quite another.

How about the injustice happening to people being injured and businesses being destroyed — some owned and run by your own neighbors? What is all this chaos supposed to solve? It’s just another reason for brainless people to run the streets and cause destruction without penalty. Some probably don’t even know what the reason is. Who do they think will pay for all this?

This isn’t solving the problem, it’s adding to it. These people burning police cars and businesses and buildings need to be severely punished. Most of all, allowing people to block major highways is totally ridiculous.
