When people with
strong opinions confront each other, the threat of violence is always
present. It is my hope that law enforcement personnel will commit to
arrest and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law the
person(s) who throw the first rock, the first water bottle or the
first fist. They will not be able to arrest all of the violators, but
their latching onto the first offenders will send a clear message to
others who are prone to violence.
Letter: Violence can’t be tolerated when strong views come together
