Johnson: Letter writers should check their ‘facts’

Posted

Gary Kelly and Marianne Holmes (“Showed there is too much hate,” Sun City West Independent, June 24, 2020) need to wake up and get some facts before saying “we do not see young white people getting shot on our streets.”

From 2017 to 2020, 643 fewer blacks were shot by police than whites (check statista.com). Also, I see a lot more Black Lives Matter people giving the finger to people trying to cover the news. BLM people are tearing down statues, vandalizing and burning businesses. What are you seeing when you watch the news? BLM is fomenting hate by their actions.

Tearing down statues of our country’s history is not the way to promote peace. If you have hope for this “wonderful free country of ours,” it is not going to be free much longer if anarchists are allowed to take over police departments and part of a city.

BLM and Antifa and others want to destroy our wonderful free country. Destroying history is exactly what the Taliban did when they took over.

Wake up!
