To the editor:

Even as many members of Black Lives Matter — the black version of the KKK and equally as heinous — murder, riot, loot, destroy and vandalize public and private property, attack and try to intimidate anyone who disagrees with them, specifically target whites and police and/or otherwise violently break the law in cities across this country, Mary Campbell only has time to criticize The Conway Daily Sun and columnist Tom McLaughlin, both law-abiding citizens, for lawfully and peacefully engaging in one of the most legally protected and cherished democratic institutions we have in the country — free speech. Her conduct is sadly emblematic of the Orwellian times we live in.

Your comparison if BLM to KKK suggests that you don’t understand our history. BLM doesn’t mean that only Black lives matter but that it’s high time that we address the fact that in this country Black lives don’t matter as much as White lives.

Mr. Pietrangelo's comments here reflect his past outrageous conduct. BLM is not the KKK, or anything like the KKK.

Pietrangelo is a troublemaker and a sensationalist. The "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy was wrong, but Pietrangelo chained himself to the White House fence to protest it. He later sued his lawfirm in that matter, and had a federal judge declare that his conduct in the lawsuit was a "shocking abuse of the judicial system."

When other patrons at the Sandusky library complained about his conduct, it ended up in Federal Court, with a similar result. It took denial of a writ of certiorari by the US Supreme Court to dispose of that case.

Pietrangelo can waste court time with vexious lawsuits, but don't let him waste yours with his inane views.
