LETTER: Minnesota pols bear some of the blame

In the United States of America one is allowed to speak and protest freely. Recently, pro-Palestinian demonstrators defaced the front gates of the White House with red paint handprints. I wonder if these people will be pursued and prosecuted with the same vigor that the Jan. 6 demonstrators were. I doubt it.

The last time I checked it is a crime to damage government property. I know it will be tough to identify them since they left their handprints on the structure and were videotaped doing it. I look forward to seeing how justice is applied in this case.

Elections determine who governs. They do not eliminate the need for limits on executive power.
