Seattle violence: Quit describing criminals as protesters

Re: “KNKX boots weather guru Mass over his comparison of Seattle protests to Nazi Germany,” (TNT, 8/7).

The headline for this article on your website is inaccurate to a degree that indicates an intent to deceive your subscribers. It’s a breach of trust.

Cliff Mass did not compare Seattle protesters to Nazi Germany and you know it. His comparison to Nazi Germany was with the criminal thugs who looted and burned downtown Seattle.

Protesters protest. Criminals break windows, steal, burn cars and shops, attempt to injure police officers and threaten innocent people.

Richard Arnold, Tacoma
