A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897.

To the editor:
Can we please keep crime news stories in perspective? That is, considered in terms of relative importance?
Luigi Mangione is charged with murdering health care insurance CEO Brian Thompson. Our president-elect, Donald J. Trump, incited an insurrection at the Capitol to undo a presidential election that threatened the lives of the vice president and members of Congress, and led to the loss of lives of five police officers.
Which criminal should I fear the most, an assassin who is charged with killing one businessman (and has been arrested and indicted), or someone who will be our president in less than a month who is responsible for causing imminent threats to members of Congress, caused the deaths of police officers, caused serious injuries to many other cops and civilians, and threatens destroy our justice system?
