Letter: Opinions based on personal views

By Ken Bohannon, Camas

In a Sept. 15 letter “Switch source of your information,” Ken Koch was responding to a letter written by Randy Haas. Koch suggested Haas get his information from another source other than Fox News. Simply stated, Koch feels that anyone who arrives at a different opinion other than his own is just making “embarrassing public comments.” So shame on Haas for having an opinion.

I don’t know exactly what Haas believes, but I don’t think that he believes the president is actually a cop killer. However, I do think that he believes that a president of all people should not weigh in on one side of the recent shootings. Obviously, once the legal findings were completed, the president’s comments were on the wrong side of the law. And the same is not true in regard to the police shootings of which he has remained very quiet. If you can’t see a correlation with his comments in regards to the police shootings to riots and shooting of police officers, maybe you shouldn’t blame Fox News, just common sense.

If you feel that you want a president who only condemns shootings by police and not shootings of police officers, then you have what you want. But other people are actually allowed to come to a different conclusion than yours.
