To the editor;
The attack on Paul Pelosi, obviously intended for Nancy Pelosi, must be condemned in the strongest terms and has been by many people including President Biden and GOP Leader Mitch McConnell but not yet by ex-president Trump as of Oct. 31.
The use of violence as a means of supporting a political viewpoint is abhorrent and damages the very constitution and freedoms that it claims to support.
There are too many countries around the world where democracy is not respected or even possible.
As a general outcome, any election will leave about 50 per cent of the people happy and 50 per cent unhappy but almost 100 per cent will accept the result.
It is just a few individuals, far too many at the Jan. 6, Capitol riots, that are so misguided that they will use violence to overcome a valid result.
Pray for Paul Pelosi and the freedom of the people as both have been attacked.
