Two days after a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol shouting threats against America’s elected leaders, here comes the Cape Gazette with a letter from John Gladden of Georgetown suggesting “anyone who tries to fix a presidential election should be put up against the wall and shot.” We desperately hope we are not the only readers to express our disgust at not only Gladden’s reprehensible assertion, but also the Cape Gazette’s flummoxing decision to print it.
We’re assuming someone reads these things before they see the light of day; perhaps your letters editor should be re-assigned to covering high school sports, or someplace else where they will do less damage.

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to newsroom@capegazette.com. Letters must be signed and include a telephone number and address for verification. Please keep letters to 500 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content and length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days. Letters restating information and opinions already offered by the same author will not be used. Letters must focus on issues of general, local concern, not personalities or specific businesses.
