ELECTION: Complaints be gone

| November 18, 2016 8:00 PM

Though some Kootenai County residents may not be happy with the new president-elect, I am proud to live in Coeur d’Alene where the freeway was not shut down, businesses were not looted and burned, and cars overturned. I am tired easily with the specific ethnic group complaining that their lives matter. If you haven’t heard “all lives matter.” You complain about how your ancestors were treated. Guess what? My ancestors were treated badly as well, they were made to walk a trail and some were left to die because they were elderly and could not keep up. They were left to die alone where they dropped.

Then you want to complain that no jobs are available. OK I agree… With the new president-elect I believe you will be given great opportunities for employment. Now what more do you want to complain about? I know… You might have to get off your rear-ends, work and get off the welfare rolls. It’s funny how you say that your lives are the only ones that matter, until you start mowing down each other in drug turf wars. I guess that’s a different story then. Oh by the way, where are the mayors of these towns?
