Brothels protest
I need to commend the mother and father and youngsters who braved the rain to protest the brothels and prostitution rings which now proliferate on Roosevelt Avenue (“Give ‘red-light district’ hook,” Sept. 11).
That is taking place as a result of the Queens district legal professional and native NYC politicians like Sen. Julia Salazar assume that prostitution is only a profession selection.
Actually, progressives assume that prostitutes are intercourse staff and attempt to sanitize what they do, blissfully unaware of the implications of intercourse trafficking akin to drug habit, violence and illnesses.
Additionally they do nothing to assist teams that need to finish intercourse trafficking and save ladies — lots of whom are underage.
Vote these miscreants out.

Impolite awakening
Nicole Gelinas is true the crowds on the US Open do certainly encapsulate what’s mistaken with not simply New York Metropolis, however society usually (“Courtroom Dysfunction,” PostOpinion, Sept. 11).
It’s no specific social gathering’s supporters. I’m fairly positive the parents who speak or textual content in film theaters are Democrats, Republicans, liberals, independents, and so forth.
It isn’t a response to COVID restrictions.
Society was already heading in that course.
Of us had been already speaking loudly on cellphones on commuter trains — now they use speaker telephones.
Drivers in Porsches are simply as more likely to trigger visitors by texting as Hyundai drivers.
Go to a live performance and music lovers aren’t having fun with the music and reveling within the camaraderie of a shared expertise.
They’re taking selfies and blocking different folks’s enjoyment as a result of the entire world is within the “selfie” mentality: It’s my world, step apart.
What the US Open actually represents is that there is no such thing as a class distinction for impolite habits.
Tennis and golf, as soon as a spot of collared polos and quiet, are actually getting nearer and nearer to the WWE.
Till we tackle the selfishness that permeates each layer of society, we’re doomed.

Bail madness
Per Suffolk County District Lawyer Ray Tierney, due to bail reform, 20 drug sellers had been mechanically launched whereas he “stood hopelessly by” (“Suffolk arrested 30 drug sellers, however bail legal guidelines meant 20 had been let go,” Sept. 14).
Even supposing 399 folks died from fentanyl final yr simply on the jap half of Lengthy Island, the court docket had no selection however to launch these sellers due to bail reform.
The DA additionally mentioned that in New York, the loopholes are a “mile vast” and drug sellers proceed to take benefit.
I’m confused as to why your article didn’t level out the political hacks that pushed bail reform and led us right here, like state Sens. Mike Gianaris, Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Andrew Gounardes, Meeting Speaker Carl Heastie and Lawyer Common Tish James.
The record goes on, however the track stays the identical.
These profession politicians don’t care about our security.
Their solely curiosity is staying in workplace and cashing these six-figure, taxpayer-funded checks.
It’s time that they’re held accountable.
Vote them out.

Animal lovers
No matter your standpoint on animal-welfare points, portray PETA as “lefties” is completely inappropriate (“PETA’s ‘Reporting’ Ploy,” Editorial, Sept. 10).
Animal welfare isn’t a left or proper subject. Actually, traditional conservative Republicans traditionally have been on the forefront of concern about this subject.
President Ronald Reagan cared about these points, and so do I.
Nobody would name both of us a “lefty.”
