Letters: I blame the parents, not the politicians

Throwing fireworks at police and others is not “letting off steam.”

Editor:

Why should Delta’s mayor and council or any other politician be blamed for what transpired on Halloween (Politicians to blame for Halloween antics, says reader, Optimist, letters, Nov. 3).

Throwing fireworks at police and others is not “letting off steam.” It is violent behaviour.

I blame parents for allowing their child to attend this planned mob event and especially on a school night.
