FROM THE EDITOR
Today’s stories all come back to one question:
When systems meant to preserve order and security fall short, who ends up bearing the cost?
That’s your frontlines view for today.
It seems all of your questions at the end of your articles are pushing letting criminals and law breakers get away with their crimes because their 'may' be risk to others. If that is your premise, then we should just let everyone do what they want because enforcing any civility or law risks others. Doesn't it risk more people and our country to let them run rampant over everyone who has what the criminal and lawbreaker wants? Sounds like you are advocating, quietly and subversively, for honest people to just let bullies and thieves do what they want and ignore the rights of ownership and citizenship because those ignoring and abusing the law, and everyone around them, might hurt more people. Are your really saying with your innocent questions at the end of your articles that society should just wait until the criminals decide to stop for a while before being confronted for their abuses?
Your questions sound 'reasonable' until someone actually thinks about the repercussions of the answers. Manipulative and gas lighting at its finest.
Wherever we go we are not safe at all.
