Editor, The Smithfield Times:

The writer of Short Rows (“Indelible images from a dark day in American history,” Jan. 20) said that Jan. 6th was a dark day in America and I agree.

Where was the writer this past summer when domestic terrorists were burning, looting and trying to take over federal buildings in Washington, Oregon and Michigan?

Like the Democratic leaders who said it was a peaceful protest and said nothing, the Short Rows writer said nothing. All terrorism should be condemned.
