Memorial Day letter to the Editor calls for violent "regime change" and executions
by sfinx

. ...

The local newspaper of a town in Pennsylvania that I know well, the Sunbury Daily Item, chose to recognize Memorial Day by publishing a letter to the editor that appears to call for violent "regime change" and the summary execution of the president and members of his administration.


To the families of those fallen heros whose blood lies on the sands of Iraq; don’t you think it might be time to rise up against an administration who has adequately demonstrated their gross incompetence?

I think the appropriate, and politically correct, term is regime change. Forgive me for being blunt, but throughout history this has previously been accompanied by execution by guillotine, firing squad, public hanging.

I have absolutely no reason to expect that current practice should be any different. The end result is elimination of the problem, the method is superfluous. When society dictates, the end always justifies the means, otherwise the action would not be taken.

This sort of promulgation of hatred, violence, and the overthrow of democracy is painfully commonplace online, but its appearance in print in a regular newspaper is something else, and printing it as in recognition of Memorial Day is really disgusting. If you are a resident of the Sunbury area and subscribe to the Daily Item (or advertise in it), you might like to reconsider that. Wherever you live, you can easily share your views about this with the Daily Item here:  submit an online letter to the editor. https://dailyitem-dot-com.bloxcms.com/site/forms/online_services/letter/
