Homicide conviction showsdishonesty of recall
Re: “Ex-deputy convicted of murdering Dublin couple” (Web page B1, Oct. 5).
For many who could not bear in mind, after this homicide, these calling for the recall of DA Pamela Worth have been saying she was gentle on crime and wouldn’t prosecute this homicide to the total extent of the legislation. I assume they’ll now apologize to her and drop the recall.
No? Why let the information get in the way in which of the false narrative?

Swalwell misleads votersin help of recall
Re: “Swalwell voices support for recall of DA” (Web page B1, Oct. 3).
The marketing campaign selling the recall of not too long ago elected Alameda County District Lawyer Pamela Worth baselessly blames her for crime. Voters need to have the information.
That is immediately contradicted by goal information buried on the second web page: “Price’s office has filed criminal charges in 62.9% of cases brought by county law enforcement agencies, a similar rate as her predecessor Nancy O’Malley, who led the DA’s office from 2009-2022.”
Goal information must be reported upfront. The stable majority of grassroots voters who elected DA Worth in 2022 need to have their votes revered, and never nullified by the very best bidders.

Walnut Creek roadsdangerous for drivers
Why is the Walnut Creek Metropolis Council creating harmful driving circumstances in Shadelands?
Over the previous yr on Lennon Lane, and now Wiget Lane, there are giant posts put in on the street creating one lane every means, not permitting regular turns at intersections. One should drive straight into the intersection after which make a really sharp proper flip into the fitting lane, whereas not hitting the automotive ready within the cross road.
I might by no means take my bicycle into Shadelands. I must experience in automotive lanes to keep away from tire harm, The “bike lane” is crammed with particles the place no road sweeper matches. Autos parked within the marked spots on the street block the view for automobiles exiting parking tons. You can not see left and should drive out blind to oncoming visitors.
With my 56 years of expertise with visitors worldwide, that is probably the most asinine setup I’ve ever seen.

Re: “Skeptics to challenge pandemic policies at today’s Stanford event” (Web page A1, Oct. 4).
Thanks for sticking to easy reporting relating to the COVID symposium at Stanford.
In science, there ought to all the time be room for debate, and as we all know, “the science” will usually change. It’s fairly frequent to learn an article a few sure guideline altering after new analysis involves mild.
It’s unhappy that the whole lot has turn out to be political and, in a state like California, when you advised a special strategy to COVID you have been merely labeled as MAGA, which is simply lazy and exhibits you’ll be able to’t help your view with good information.
Sadly, the LA Instances can’t deal with any dissent, and their article protecting this has the headline, “Stanford throws a party for purveyors of misinformation and disinformation about COVID” which is extremely disrespectful to the hard-working physicians talking on the occasion.

It appears we’re in some odd time loop the place the occasions of the previous election proceed to echo by means of this election.
Once more now we have a person who’s a risk to American society working for president. This isn’t a person who desires to do nice and heroic acts to guard our democracy; he’s the anti-MAGA. Sure, he’s the alternative. The person adores and tries to emulate dictators and tyrants. Why? Nothing greater than greed and self-love. Look after these in want? Finest needs, as a result of it isn’t going to occur. Recall his affection for his vp.
