LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Capitol rioters are not victims

So President Donald Trump’s supporters who invaded the Capitol and caused the deaths of five people are the victims? Tell that to the friends and family of those who died or were injured.

Trump’s supporters have also vowed to continue protests. Hopefully, their protests are peaceful demonstrations of free speech and are nonviolent, but after what they did Jan. 6, I am concerned about the people adhering to the Constitution and swearing in a new president.

Never think that the perpetrators of a crime are the victims. Those who suffer from their crimes are the victims.
