Letter to the Editor: Political violence has indeed come from "many sides"
To the Editor:Jesse Salomon's sensationalistic letter about Charlottesville is wrong on so many levels.
Salomon calls Heather Heyer a "pro-democracy activist". Heyer's death was tragic, but she was at the scene as part of an anti-First Amendment mob, there to deprive others of their right to free speech. To me, that's kind of the opposite of "pro-democracy". The free speech in question was vile and hateful, but it's still protected by the First Amendment - just look up "Skokie Nazi march".
Salomon condemns President Trump for mentioning violence "on many sides". Where has Salomon been for the last 2 years? There's been plenty of political violence, and it has indeed come from many sides, and frankly, most of it has come from Salomon's side - the so-called "progressive left". A few examples:
In June, a Bernie supporter shot up a Republican baseball practice, nearly killing Representative Steve Scalise.
In May, a violent leftist mob forced professor Bret Weinstein to leave the Evergreen State campus in fear for his life.
Multiple conservative speakers, including Heather MacDonald, Charles Murray, and Ann Coulter, have had their speeches shut down by violent mobs.
In Portland, the 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade was cancelled, because organizers received this email: "bar the Multnomah County Republicans or we will have two hundred or more people rush into the parade and drag and push those people out."
Black Lives Matter chanted "What do we want? DEAD COPS!", and Micah Johnson, who "wanted to kill white people", gunned down 5 Dallas cops as they were guarding protesters at an anti-police brutality march.
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. So please, Mr. Salomon, get off your high horse and remove the plank from your own eye before complaining about the speck of dust in the President's eye.
