Letter to the editor: Defending Fetterman

Tribune-Review

The depiction of John Fetterman in the April 28 political cartoon of the Democratic candidates is as close as we have ever come to canceling our subscription.

In my opinion, it did not belong there, but since it was, you need to publish his side for balance. Had it been part of a factual article with both sides, I would not have a problem.

According to The New York Times and the police report, after Fetterman followed and confronted a man dressed in black and wearing a mask after hearing what he thought were gunshots (also heard by neighbors) in January 2013, no charges were filed. The man was running in the direction of an elementary school; this was not long after the Sandy Hook school shooting, Fetterman said, “I made the decision to stop him from going any further until the first responders could arrive.”
