Non-violence and common sense

To the editor:

It has been three years since the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol of the United States. As a fiscal conservative Republican, I believe people who planned and participated in this assault should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Nonviolent protests, however, help keep our democracy strong.

Since that date numerous letters have been written by Democrats condemning this assault as a “threat to our democracy.”
