Transport driver deserves kindness Re: (June 26) A small but important nod to the transport driver. Lots of justifiable attention, compassion, and care, being directed towards the people in the van, both the deceased and survivors, as well as their family and friends. Maybe I have missed it but surely that transport driver as well, deserves some love.
He too will be feeling a lifetime of suffering. Our collective compassion should also extend to that driver. The official statement that “he was in the right” simply cannot ease any of the pain that driver must be feeling.
Bob Haegeman St. Pierre-Jolys Kudos to cops Re: Policing not the solution (Letters, June 27) I read Will Jones’s letter to the editor with some incredulity. Mr.
Jones opines that he would rather see the money spent to have police show up to robbery calls, sexual assaults and murders. Really? Firstly, shoplifting is robbery and it is not a victimless crime. We all pay a premium because of it.
Secondly, many shoplifters carry weapons and some have used them in the course of committing their crime, traumatizing retail workers and customers. That’s called assault. Finally, when a segment of society determines that there are no consequences to committing a crime (shoplifting) things.
