Grim reminders
of East Bay life

Within the June 13 version there have been 11 tales on Pages B2 and B3, both continued from Web page B1 or printed in full. 9 of these tales had headlines that included phrases like “carjacking,” “taking pictures,” “intercourse offender” and “lethal dwelling invasion.” These tales stuffed these two pages (much less obituaries) and I discovered it a disappointing instance of day by day life within the East Bay. Sadly, one story concerned the continued saga of my hometown police pressure in Antioch.

No group or neighborhood within the East Bay can escape these grim tales. Editors don’t have any selection however to print them when lives are misplaced. Relying upon what authority is quoted, crime is both up or down, however it’s with us. These two full pages mirror right this moment’s life within the East Bay. And, even worse, these shops typically contain weapons within the palms of those that shouldn’t be allowed to own them.

Flights aren’t stunts
however a part of resolution

Re: “Migrant flights toy with lives, don’t repair issues” (Web page A7, June 14).

The writer addresses the motion of migrants from Florida by Gov. DeSantis to Martha’s Winery and Sacramento as nothing greater than an try to “rating political factors.”

The author doesn’t recommend any fixes to what’s certainly an issue that’s clearly within the works. In any case, these migrants are finally going to get to those locations anyway. The author is most probably implying that we’d like some form of “immigration reform,” however doesn’t provide any specifics.

I think that DeSantis might present these specifics, however since they’re nearly definitely completely different from what the author would recommend, the author would dismiss them as an try to “rating political factors.”

Nation wants leaders,
not GOP extremists

Why do journalists insist on utilizing the phrases the Republicans converse? Republican politicians are usually not conservatives, they’re extremists. Since they aren’t talking out in opposition to fascism, they should be for it.

Additionally, a number of have questioned methods to cease giving Donald Trump a lot air time. Simply cease.

Please don’t speak 24/7, from now till the election, about what Trump may do. That’s not information; that’s guessing.

Speak concerning the different Republican candidates. They received’t be good decisions for the nation both. They are going to proceed their rant in opposition to everybody who just isn’t a wealthy, white, Christian, heterosexual man. They are going to minimize funds for colleges, the USPS, the VA, and many others. They won’t do something sensible to battle gun violence. They definitely received’t do something to reverse world local weather change.

We want leaders, not cowards who work for spiritual extremists and the wealthy.
