Butler County's great daily newspaper

Show consequence

I’m disappointed with the news media that show all these marches, riots, vigils where people are breaking store windows, setting fire to businesses, burning cars. Then we hear no more.

My question: Do these people get arrested for setting fires, destroying stores, stealing from these businesses, taking away people’s livelihood?

If you are considering a riot, you could be pretty sure you would get away with it for all that the news covers it.

We should have both the crime and the punishment on the news. I feel that criminals — and yes, that’s what they are — should be punished to the full extent of the law. Would we really want these people with the mindset of “I’m right and everyone else is wrong” go without being punished and being our doctors, lawyers, teachers and presidents?
