Sound Off for July 4, 2016

American way?

I suggest the U.S. send a message to the rest of the world stating that the U.S. will retaliate by “taking care of” the immediate family members of these crazies. Anyone up to the task?

Old trick

The Brexit leaders lied and had no plans but exploiting populist fears, just like Trump. Now millions of Britons realize their mistake and regret their vote to leave.

Lethal enough

How many times can you squeeze your finger in one minute? That's how many people you can kill in one minute with a semi-automatic rifle. The same kind that the Orlando terrorist legally purchased.

Disavowal

Turkish President Erdogan said the ISIS attackers were "not Muslims" and "have prepared their place in hell." If more high-ranking Muslim leaders made those comments, perhaps some people would think twice before joining ISIS.

Seasonal stench

Columbus is in the Deep South. One-hundred degree temperatures. Columbus Council needs to reinstate twice-a-week garbage pick-up. I’m tired of stinking garbage and bugs.

Good laugh

I had a hardy chuckle a couple of days ago when I read that your paper had won 11 awards. What a joke.

Good riddance

I see George Will has quit the GOP. He said it’s not his party. That shows he’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
