Enough Traficant bashing

Enough Traficant bashing

EDITOR:

I’m so sick of the “trashing of Traficant.” The four politicians in Tuesday’s paper was the last straw. How arrogant and uncompassionate of them. One is worried about “embarrassing the community nationally.” What about the embarrassment of getting an F grade for our city schools?

As for Traficant making an apology and admission of guilt, did they even think that he may be innocent? There have been many innocent people sent to prison.

As for the celebration, ever hear of the “prodigal son?” Ever hear of “Let you who are without sin, cast the first stone?”

When this community no longer has a drug problem, daily shootings, killings, robberies of the young and elderly, break-ins and schools in academic emergency, then and only then we won’t be an embarrassment to the nation.

If you can’t say something good about someone, don’t say anything at all.
