LETTER: Las Vegas man gets off easy in death of his child

Sidney Deal was sentenced to only 30 days in jail and three years probation after leaving his daughter in a hot car. The police waited 40 minutes before breaking into the car because Mr. Deal did not want his car damaged, and he thought his daughter was not in danger.

Both Mr. Deal and the police are responsible for the death of this child.

By the time police finally removed her, she was in rigor. The judge ruled it an accident. This “accident” could have been avoided if police had acted properly. Since when is a car more important than a child? I fully support the police, but they dropped the ball on this.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
