LETTER: Why are “legal observers” at protests all on the far left?

Updated July 8, 2020 - 9:10 pm

I saw a recent Review-Journal story about “legal observers” watching the cops during protests. Now we learn that most everyone who supports these so-called “observers” is a far-left progressive, i.e. those in Black Lives Matter, the ACLU, etc. Without conservative citizens to balance out the “observers,” it readily suggests that we will get only reports skewed to the left. I have a better idea.

How about we dress the observers in police uniforms and send them to the front line to confront their “friends,” who will be throwing rocks, bottles of urine and Molotov cocktails at them. Perhaps a rock in the head will give the observers a clarifying moment as to the dangers our brave men and women of law enforcement confront every day.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.
