I must comment on Susan Reitman’s letter to the editor in last weekend’s paper.

I am appalled by her hateful vitriol, but more so by the misinformation that she must be digesting to make her think that peaceful protesters are rioters and that they are being paid to be there. Does she also believe the Jan. 6 rioters were being paid and that they should have been shot when they breached the barricades?

I guess there are those among us that believe what seem to be Gestapo tactics of going door to door hunting for people, this time with brown skin, is OK.
