Mayoral nonsense
Perhaps it takes the sensibilities of a mean citizen to information mayors (“THIS isn’t a mob?!” Aug. 5).
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson ought to fear much less concerning the wording (“mob” versus “disorderly folks”) and extra about instituting acceptable prison penalties for some of these behaviors.
It’s additionally time for Mayor Adams to revoke New York Metropolis’s sanctuary standing and get a grip on the variety of people who’ve flooded town.
Can we see some wise and rational actions to take our cities again?

Protest pest
In a method, I really feel sorry for the mother and father of wealthy child Theodore Weintraub, who paid folks to protest a bar that wouldn’t serve him, although they created this monster themselves (“Sore Boozer,” Aug. 4).
That is solely the start. Not solely can’t this spoiled brat settle for rejection, however he additionally used the reminiscence of the Holocaust (amongst different despicable acts) as a weapon to get his personal method and gas his ego.
Mother and father, get this child to remedy rapidly.
Perhaps he’ll have the ability to flip his considering round, giving him an opportunity at a sane life.

No-impeach Mitch
Senate Minority Chief Mitch McConnell, in saying that Republicans shouldn’t impeach President Biden, is making an early judgment earlier than all of the details are in (“Mitch: Don’t impeach Joe,” Aug. 9).
McConnell ought to have mentioned that we have to let the details come out to determine if there is sufficient to impeach.
Why rule out impeachment?
Typical doormat McConnell simply needs us all to get alongside and be pleasant to one another.
The issue is that the Democrats and the press don’t play by this strategy.
The previous saying of “lead, observe or get out the way in which” isn’t acceptable for McConnell: Lead or get out of the way in which.

Pepper-spray perp
This story is very reprehensible (“Woman seen in wild video brutally attacking taco vendor arrested, fired from job,” Aug. 10).
I used to be actually sickened by the alleged conduct of this vile lady.
She represents all the pieces that’s flawed with our society.
If her conduct was actually unprovoked, she’s a violent thief and a despicable vandal.
She demonstrates zero respect for the rule of regulation and reveals inexplicable contempt for an trustworthy small enterprise proprietor.
If convicted, she must be jailed for absolutely the most time period allowable by regulation.
She makes a very compelling argument for zero-tolerance regulation enforcement.
