In Your Opinion: We All Have The Right To Criticize Government Without Retribution

By Rev. and Mrs. Kashinsky.

On the morning of September 7, the party of tolerance and joy revealed their violent hypocrisy in Franklin. A peaceful and loving individual was so triggered by speech they disagreed with that they committed a crime of vandalism and violence in setting fire to private property. We are so thankful to the kind gentleman driving past who rang our doorbell to let us know what was happening before it was too late. An electrical power source inches away from the sign could have started an electrical fire that burned down our home while we were inside asleep with our four pets.

While the fire was burning, one of our elected Democrat representatives was interviewed in front of our house laughing, smirking, and attacking the victims of this crime before completely baselessly and slanderously accusing us of setting the fire to our own lawn. Curiously, Assemblyman and Democrat operative Joe Danielsen was on scene immediately, and was himself the one who reported the fire to the newspaper. In the video he took, posted by the Franklin Reporter & Advocate, he can be heard giggling as he shows our property burning. When interviewed by the Reporter, he is seen smirking and decrying the sign as “ugly” and “hateful” over 10 times and offering no comment on the crime committed until the reporter feels obligated to clarify that the newspaper does not condone arson. Danielsen then suggests that we had the audacity to put our own lives and neighbors’ lives at risk by setting fire to our property.
