To the editor:

“Republic at the precipice,” writes Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. “Far more consequential” than Pearl Harbor or the Sept. 11 attacks, opines Sun columnist Quddus Snyder. Such are the hyperbolic talking points of today’s progressives. The sky is falling! Democracy is at risk!

And while each of them participated as LEO's that day, none of them died that day as a result of those events. One died of a stroke, and two committed suicide.

To connect their deaths to that day is the worst type of conjecture and speculation.

Facts and truth should never be fabricated to advance a lie or perpetuate the myth about the actual events of that day.

By the way, where is Ray Epps and why is he still roaming about freely?

And why was Ashley Babbit's shooter never fully investigated?

And why are American citizens still being held in prison for nothing more than TRESPASSING?

Hyperbole? Three Officers Dead. Hardly hyperbole.

Hardly a hair out of place? Seriously? Try telling that to the Police Officers who were killed or maimed. And as far as your rebellious ancestor goes, it sounds like he was no hero.

Please name the 3 police officers that were killed that day as a result of the trespass.
