Letter to the Editor: Shooting in Minnesota is a wake-up call

“We cannot let the escalation of violence against our citizens become the new normal.”

“Fascism is different in that the goal is not only territorial expansion but also societal homogeneity.”

“We need to take our country back from these maniacs.”

“President Trump is a delusional, emotionally unstable and dangerous man and needs to be removed from office, for the safety and future of our nation, and of the planet.”

“I urge his constituents to contact Sen. Heffernan and demand that he stand up for all of us!”

“I am appalled and shocked that our Vermont pro-Palestinian groups are filing an ethics complaint and calling for the resignations against the five Vermont legislators who traveled to Israel on a much-needed fact finding mission.”

“I have just watched the video that records the shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota. What a sickening sight.”

“What?! Wait!! Our government condones the murder of private citizens in this country citing flimsy justifications.”

“If my government has no compunction about demonizing and killing law-abiding Americans who are exercising their Constitutional rights…then what recourse is left to preserve our democracy and more important, our humanity? “

“An out of control White House has gone too far and into the realm of frightening and needing to be stopped immediately.”

“Americans have seen the horrifying killing of an unarmed woman in broad daylight by agents acting under orders from the current occupant of the White House.”

“A tribute to Judy, the wonderful woman who brings the mails to Ripton.”

“Xi Jinping, Vladimir and Stephen plant the seeds from which US self-destruction grows.”

“These dangerous departures from the rule of law — government agents killing protestors, an Administration defending these actions, the Justice Department precluding local investigation — are chilling.”

“Over the past few weeks you may have driven by individuals holding ‘Signs of Fascism’ in Middlebury. This is why.”
