MOB: A threat to safety

Saturday’s headline was quite disturbing! Unfortunately, it seems that some parents of Coeur d’Alene have become no more than an unruly mob with absolutely no common sense nor sense of family or community safety.

The Board of Education had not even begun to discuss mask mandates or quarantines when unruly parents tried storming the meeting. Had I been part of the board, I would have canceled and run for my life, not knowing if some of these people were armed.

I’ve seen plenty of children and their parents with masks and they seem to be fine — not gasping for air but thinking of their fellow citizens and the health of the community.

Hope that you or your children don’t need Kootenai Health for anything as they are overwhelmed with COVID patients — mostly unmasked, unvaccinated. It took Click it or Ticket to wear seatbelts. I wonder if Mask it or Casket might work? Maybe these parents don’t believe in seat belts either.

Terry Harwood’s “My Turn” in (Saturday’s) local section said it all. Thank you Terry!
