Issue ■hems from the simpliest o' violations to dealing wth tho>' who have taken 11 vs or destr yed millions of dolars worth of property. They ire almost to the point of bung legally stopped from doing their job. It is about time that this country comes to its sens's an 1 gives the rightful authority and powvr t<» law officers. If something isn't done in the near future, this will become a nation that is without any law’ and vrder. Nipping much of the trouble in the bud. such as mayor Day ley's orders did. probably saved much mon? life and property than anyone can imagine. If riots such as w--witnessed last year and again this spring would have developed. one more gr -at big step backward would have been taken. For a country that tn *s and tries with thousands of lives and millions of dollars to pohe ■ the world, we are loing a pretty rotten job of policing our ow n land. One thing did come out of the Chicago trouble that should 1. ave a lasting impression in the minds of the group from 18 to 21. This is the group that so badly wants the right to vote, but this is also th- age group that is largely influenced to (ontinue such subversive action as we have seen in recent years. Now a few is not reflecting the actions of all. but these imp. ssionable youths haw lost their chance to vote mainly because the elected lawmakers wre anything but impressed with their numerous showing of such acts as this. America is still the most lesired place to live, but some tim», some way in the near future, we a o going tn have to on. ’ again realize right from wrong and again enforce this. Th 1 displays of mistreating the flag should be followed with displays of removing these people from out shores. If they don't like th- stars and strips, let them live under different colors for a while and see how they like that. Tolerating acta of disrespect to the country and tn our laws regardless of how it is defined, should not be tolerated If coninued giving is expected by these people, it is about time we are giving them ti few things . . . one mon* chance to get a job . . . one more chance tn gam some respect tor what is right ... and for many, give them a bath und a shaw and then if they want to return to civilization. they will continue to get the same breaks everyone else is receiving.
