To the editor: The purpose of overcharging defendants is to foment worry and anxiousness into the protesters’ lives and discourage demonstrations (“Federal prosecutors ‘coming after’ L.A. protesters. Do some charges encroach on 1st Amendment?,” June 11).
It doesn’t matter if the case in opposition to the protester is received or misplaced within the federal courts. The intent is to disrupt and discourage different protesters, who’ve to observe them get cuffed, arrested and overcharged.

To the editor: Social distortion continues the place, in Los Angeles, companies are being looted and defaced, autos are being set on fireplace, freeways are being shut down and American flags are being burned (the Mexican flag seems to be immune). Police are being pelted with projectiles. There’s been one legal criticism that fees a Molotov cocktail was thrown at Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies.
A photograph of fleeing protesters accompanied this text as an alternative of injured law enforcement officials or enterprise house owners who should rebuild each their enterprise and their lives due to the mob working underneath the guise of a peaceable demonstration.
