TO THE EDITOR:
I guess if we just keep badgering the Chapel Hill Town Council, then maybe they will give in to the alleged “many” who do not support the police action taken at the breaking and entering of Yates Motor Company. I contend that “many” people believe that the police action was appropriate based on the circumstances. You have to understand, “most” of us law abiding citizens would not break into private property.
Let me take you to Henderson, N.C., last month where a 14-year-old shot and killed a man as he broke into his home. The same week in Oklahoma, an 18-year-old shot and killed an intruder while he was attempting to break into her home.
If we endorse the actions of the “Occupiers,” then we are giving our thumbs up to criminals to break into our homes. The police let the criminals know that they intend to protect the public. After all, that is the job of the police: to protect the “many” of us who choose not to break the law against the few who think they are above the law.
