Trump has unleashed thugs on America
DEAR EDITOR:
Donald Trump’s pardon of 1,500 Jan. 6 convicted insurrectionists and homeland terrorists fulfills his express purpose of releasing thugs into society. This allows these criminals to threaten anyone who speaks out against Trump.
Think about it. Perhaps your own neighbor would come to your house and throw feces at you or your property because you called Trump a pig or a traitor.
I have read that Hitler unleashed the same kind of thugs into society (called Brown shirts) who would beat up and maim ordinary citizens who expressed dislike of the Fuhrer.
This pardon action by Donald Trump has sickened me. I was brought up to obey laws and respect law enforcement. The criminals who brutalized police, destroyed our Capitol all for a dirty lie do not need to be free.
So what is going to happen now?
Will citizens who are threatened by these hateful thugs arm themselves to prevent attacks by these pardoned felons? Will anyone who speaks out against the abuses of a convicted felon president be subject to brutality, harassment or death?
If Trump is so emotionally insecure he cannot even listen to the pleas of that mild speaking Bishop, but needs to berate her for her sermon, then we citizens of the United States of America have now entered a dark era beyond measure. God help us all!
