Marin DA abandons
equal justice

Re: “Marin DA’s workplace reduces costs in Junipero Serra statue vandalism case” (Could 26).

Kelsey Nelson drove the automobile used to tug down the statue of abolitionist Hans Heg in Madison, Wisc., one month after the June 2020 killing of George Floyd. He was sentenced to six months in jail and ordered to pay for the broken statue.

Examine that to the 5 individuals who had their felony vandalism costs lowered to misdemeanors for destroying the statue of Father Junipero Serra at a Marin County church in October 2020. Their sentence additionally required them to exchange or restore the statue, do 50 hours of group service and make a written apology. They’ll serve no jail time. That’s not equal justice.

Feinstein should end
time period for myriad causes

Re: “Ballot: Two-thirds say ailing Feinstein is unfit to serve” (Web page A1, Could 26).

I salute Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She ought to serve out the remainder of her time period.

As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she is going to make sure that President Biden’s federal judicial nominees are appointed. To avoid wasting our democracy, we should save our courts from transferring to the far proper, because the Supreme Courtroom has moved. If Feinstein resigns, her substitute can have no seniority and no place on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Republicans would battle to place one other Republican in her place. Then, the federal courts may go the best way of the Supreme Courtroom.

As an alternative, we should always settle for the knowledge of Hillary Clinton when she stated Feinstein shouldn’t resign. The East Bay Occasions would do properly to cease pushing a counter-narrative.
