Raise the Age legislation and more: Letters – Latest News
Un-raise the Age
The Raise the Age law is a dismal failure, and punk Zyairr Davis is obvious proof (“ ‘Tessa fiend’ rap in slay try,” Oct. 26).
This silly law is supposed to keep kids out of jail. Well, Davis stopped being a little one when he helped his pal commit a homicide.
All he obtained was 18 months in a juvenile detention facility. Now he’s committing violent crimes again, firing weapons into a crowd of harmless people.
Davis is dedicated to a life of criminality and needs to be put in jail.

Kamala . . . again?
Unless Kamala Harris intends to run as an impartial or for the “Word Salad” Party, she has zero likelihood as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president; smoke and mirrors received’t get the job executed (“Kam again? Likely,” Oct. 26).
Harris’ solely worth to her celebration would possibly lie in chasing potential voters towards higher certified and far more interesting candidates.

Priscilla’s law
As somebody who’s practically been struck by e-bikes whereas strolling on Queens sidewalks, I respect New York City’s 15 mile-per-hour velocity restrict on e-bikes (“Speed bump for NYC e-bikes,” Oct. 24).
But implementing it requires a law to carry violators accountable. “Priscilla’s Law,” which might mandate registration and license plates for all e-bikes and scooters not regulated by the New York DMV, is blocked by the City Council’s “progressive” members who declare it will unfairly have an effect on food supply staff, many of whom are immigrants and people of colour.
This is nonsense. Far left lunatics are taking part in the race card to stack the deck towards a invoice that may bolster the security of all New Yorkers, regardless of their race.

2,000 minks freed
It was referred to as a “terrorist act” when people broke into a mink farm in Iowa and launched 2,000 minks (“2,000 mink freed in blink,” Oct. 25).
Animals on fur farms are intensively confined and denied all the pieces natural to them. Sometimes, they are often improperly shocked and skinned whereas nonetheless acutely aware. All of this takes place in order that people can put on animals’ pores and skin as a fashion or standing assertion.
People who do that to animals are the actual terrorists.

Autopen president
The revelation of an administration cloaked in deceit and run by incompetents, whereas not stunning, is nonetheless stunning. It confirms what all of us noticed and what Democrats and the media instructed us have been low cost fakes (“ ‘Penning’ story of Joe coverup,” Miranda Devine, Oct. 30).
President Trump and his administration owe it to the American people to pursue and prosecute everybody concerned with the best political rip-off and coverup in our nation’s historical past. Let the Democrats call it political retribution; we the people call it accountability.
