Troubled by opinion

Thanks for your response, Mr. Bonilla. You claim I’m making “veiled threats” yet you don’t list what they are. To borrow from Obama, “let me be clear.” The bottom line is that actions have consequences and if one doesn’t think things through (say, opting to use a vehicle as a deadly weapon instead of following the law) one may pay the ultimate consequence. And that’s a fact, not a threat, veiled or otherwise. But please, educate us. You’re allowed a few hundred words in a comment, so please elaborate, if you can. I’m shaking with anticipation (oh wait, that’s the cold this morning, or the two cups of Dunkin’ I’ve already downed).

You are correct in that we are in a woeful time, especially because Democrats choose to put the welfare of criminals and terrorists over the American people. (I asked you three months ago to explain but as anticipated, radio silence.) You attempt to lecture Mr. Kahl on the Constitution but perhaps you would do a greater service in reminding your Democrat colleagues who swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution to do so. Until such time, nobody will take your/their lectures, faux outrage, and hypocrisy seriously. Meanwhile, more power to ICE and American patriots to do the job we elected them to do. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BTW, Mr. Bonilla, remember how you were complaining that billionaires weren’t paying their fair share? Thanks to your pal Newsom and unions filling his campaign coffers pushing a retroactive billionaire tax (likely illegal but the damage is being done), reports are that up to $1 trillion of wealth has left the state. Will the “little people” who vote for Democrats be on the hook for making up the difference? Or will Newsom realize he made another boneheaded mistake, eat crow, and pull the proposal? Regardless, perhaps you can focus your efforts on reducing waste, fraud, and abuse due to Democrat so-called leaders instead of lecturing us on the Constitution that Democrats willfully ignore. Thank you in advance. (And that's how you take advantage of expanding thoughts and ideas in a comment.)

It appears you have trouble with your eyes. Not only is your characterization of what the video clearly shows incorrect, but also you have not read the news which says that the Department of justice says they will not investigate. People who used to support right of life need to understand now that there is no such thing, because if you disagree with this regime, they could kill you, brand new, a professional agitator (which by the way is not illegal) and refuse to investigate (apparently because exercising your right to free speech is now illegal ) and that would be it. Maybe you should also try reading the constitution. I know that you are likely one of those people who swears you support it.

Rick Bonilla is correct, this time. Via prompt Facebook posts of multiple videos which were narrated and verified, frame by frame, one can see what actually transpired as far as the driver turning to avoid the ICE GUN-HOLDER.

In the past, I did not have much praise for Mr Bonilla's actions when he was on the city council in San Mateo, but this time bravo for your bravery, Rick.

I continue to experience regret on behalf of the partner of the murdered woman, and one would hope that the surviving partner may be feeling guilty for her taunting words immediately before the multiple gunshots, which may have contributed to the ICE aggressors' violent actions and despicable words of sexist hatred directed at her murdered partner.

By the way, Reverend Tovis has personally served as my minister in the recent past, and has made a very positive impact on my own self-perception.

Her right to express her personal opinion in a guest column supersedes someone trying to ignore reality of the violence and change reality.

And the original letter writer seemed to threaten the Daily Journal staff, with a Fascist tone, parallel to the one that we hear from the White House each and every day.

That is something that we all should be sensitive to and discouraging when we hear attempts to silence our objective media and/or expressions of personal opinion by knowledgeable individuals.

More than a little racist, Dirk.
