Letters to the Editor

How do we know which of the federal laws are the laws of the land for everyone and which laws can be ignored without consequence? The people of Arizona want the federal government to uphold the law and protect the border. Not too much to ask when you consider how many of our own are […]

I can’t believe that it takes 27 years for our justice system to execute Michael Beuke, a guilty killer convicted in 1983. How can our judges and courts justify such incompetence and inefficiency? Surely all appeals and issues could be resolved within five years at the most if our judges would be held to the […]

I am simply amazed at the $100,000 settlement won by an illegal alien that was deported back to Mexico by the Butler County Sheriff’s office (“Deported Mexican wins $100K from Butler,” April 21). I sympathize with the aliens that want to come here to seek a better life, and I appreciate the fact that this […]

How outrageous is this? Lawrence Reynolds, Jr., found unconscious Sunday in the Ohio Penitentiary, was scheduled for execution Tuesday (“Inmate’s overdose delays his execution,” March 8). He was rushed to the hospital and was in serious condition from an overdose of pills he had taken. He was kept at the hospital until he was found […]

Kudos to the Judges Richard Griffin, Raymond Kethledge and James Carr for unanimously allowing Robert Kennedy to proceed with his lawsuit against Cincinnati (“Judges don’t buy ‘creeping out’ argument,” Feb. 17). The city banned him from a public pool merely because some people alleged he was “creeping out” their children. Apparently, he had done nothing […]

The federal courts are wrestling with a question of both liberty and patriotism: Does the First Amendment right to free speech protect people who lie about being war heroes? Does common sense enter into the law at any point these days? What happened to the “reasonable man” arguments? Can any of you believe, with all […]

Regarding the article “T-shirts: ‘No mercy’ for alleged rapist” (Jan. 20): When did we become a community of monsters? How can we even consider trying a 14-year-old child as an adult for any crime? The people wearing black T-shirts screaming “No Mercy” make my blood run cold. “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” […]

Regarding the story (“Police: Girls robbed Symmes Twp. bank,” Jan. 5): If these girls get caught, it would do us all a great deal of good to pay attention to what they have to say. The days of bad social behavior being the exclusive territory of any one sex, race, political party or age group […]

There is $75 million to cover the cost of security alone! Why give the terrorist a stage to promote their evil? Let’s house, try, and punish the terrorist aboard a US military vessel. Within US waters, US justice could be administered with no threats or risk. May they never step foot on US soil again. […]

Regarding the article “Seitz to seek law that denies injury benefits to illegal workers” (Nov. 24): Really Mr. Seitz! Employers can hire illegal aliens at a reduced pay, even pay them “under the table,” thereby denying them all the benefits of an American worker, but they should not have to pay those employees if they […]
