Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Don Lemon

To Don Lemon and other insurrectionists: You do not get to commit crime and claim you were just exercising your constitutional rights.

Lemon arrest

Journalists do not get license to conspire with fellow agitators, storm churches, and terrorize worshippers.

Trump’s America

A federal judge and an appeals court both declined to approve an arrest warrant for Don Lemon due to a lack of evidence. The Trump Administration went ahead and arrested him anyway.

That was fast

They went after Don Lemon faster than anyone on the Epstein files.

Unhinged

The Georgia Fulton County election results were recounted and validated three times. Both Republicans and Democrats conducted the audit which included a handcount. President Trump has now had the ballots confiscated. This is another planned action to incite MAGA to challenge the upcoming elections.

Mississippi

I do not understand why people who live in Mississippi spend time and energy focusing on other states. What Virginia does is Virginia’s business as is true with California and every other state. If you are looking for a problem to fix Mississippi, where we live, has plenty of them.

Pretti and Rittenhouse

In the discussion about Alex Pretti’s possession of a gun while protesting, people are confusingly thinking that noticing a double standard between Pretti’s rights and Kyle Rittenhouse’s means that someone is now an advocate for the same. Noticing a double standard does not indicate a position either way.
