Enough is enough!

I am an 89-year-old male who lived through three wars and served in one: enough is enough.

These riots have gotten totally out of hand and have gone on for too long.

These riots give opportunities to thieves and other criminal elements to steal and destroy.

If black lives matter, tell that to the criminal element in Chicago when blacks are killing blacks. What is their explanation for that?

In 1965, I was a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles assigned to work the Watts riots. In the aftermath of this riot, it made more citizens prejudiced against Blacks then before. This will happen again.

Then protesters or whatever you want to call them probably spent their stimulus checks or their weekly unemployment check for $600 a week for guns and drugs.

I am sick of these protesters and I am at this point in my life I do not watch the news.

I watch the animal channel instead of the animals in the protests.
