Donald Trump does have his faults, but those ascribed to him by letter writer Paul Lambshead (“Trump is damaging,” Nov. 13) do not apply.
The “irrational rage” in America’s cities that Lambshead wrote of has been around long before this election season. Does Occupy Wall Street, et al, ring any bells? It has been inculcated in the snowflakes for decades by the left. When they do not get what they want, they get their knickers in a knot and riot, destroying property and assaulting people who have views different than theirs. These are their standing operating procedures, and they disguise it as free speech.
The operative word in the First Amendment is “peaceably.” When they riot, assault people, destroy property and obstruct others’ freedom of movement, they have stepped outside of their constitutional rights and infringed upon others’ constitutional rights.
It’s a sad state of affairs when we have a certain segment of our society that cares only about themselves, and not this great nation, with all its promise, which our Founding Fathers sacrificed so much for and worked so hard to give us. I hope that we can turn our country around and be worthy of the legacy the founders bequeathed to us.
