Go back to Canada

Re “Escape to Canada?!” by Raheem F. Hosseini (Feature, October 19):

Why didn’t you overstay? You only can do that in America? Why didn’t you go try the free healthcare? You can only do that in America. Your article was biased and very un-American. Try the same thing in Mexico. You sure will not be able to buy property or vote. You failed to answer your own biased questions, which there are answers to. Unfortunately, reporters these days or even opinion writers such as yourself are lazy and fail to find the answer. Instead you choose identity politics, half truths and blatant lies. Keep up the misinformed work, you’ll be on CNN in no time.

Bye, Raheem

Re “Escape to Canada?!” by Raheem F. Hosseini (Feature, October 19):

What a whiny Canada article. Go away and stay away. They will soon tire of you too. Good riddance.

Gender-biased reporting?

Re “SN&R news article was deceptive” by Eric Johnson (Editor’s Note, November 16):

To discount Mr. Nelson’s comments by stating [that] they are also the opinions of someone who had a restraining order issued against him—obviously affecting his opinion, is both poor reporting and somewhat pandering to a political faction that is gender-biased and well-paid by numerous financial incentive programs and private donors. All of those lend a great bias, operational motive and political agenda to their “cause.” It is well-known by many litigants who sadly must fight for their child/children in the anti-family court system in the USA, about the power that a fraudulent restraining order holds over an individual. Allegations of family violence are the weapon-of-choice in divorce strategies. Lawyers and paralegals in women’s shelters call them “The Silver Bullet,” or the “First Weapon of Assault.”

Invite the homeless home

Re “Will arrest for food” by Raheem F. Hosseini (News, November 16):

Another Band-Aid but good for the City. Panhandling is out of hand. In some parts of the city you can’t even step 5 feet without three to four people asking you for money. About time the City starts doing something about it. Helping is one thing. Being harassed is quite another. Liberal bleeding hearts be damned. If they care so much, then let them house and feed and finance these homeless people who choose to live in the conditions they live in.

Taking my business elsewhere

Re “Will arrest for food” by Raheem F. Hosseini (News, November 16):

I am asking any retailer if they are a member in good standing with the [Midtown Business Association], and if they support the new “homeless” restrictions. If they answer in the affirmative or refuse to answer, they go on my boycott list. I let them know that all of my acquaintances will be made aware of their position.

Steinberg: Think bigger

Re “Cellular Sacramento” by Scott Thomas Anderson (News, November 16):

Also yeah this is fuckin’ bullshit. Steinberg could be championing something useful like municipally-owned and operated fiber. But he thinks too small and too much about the $$$.

SN&R: Fan-haters?

Re Justice League review by Jim Lane (Film, November 16):

Ah. So, now SNR’s film “critics” are more concerned about throwing shade at fandom than they are with actual film criticism. Lovely.

DC: Insulting fans

Re Justice League review by Jim Lane (Film, November 16):

I love superhero films. Wonder Woman was a delight. But everything else DC has done has been an insult to the characters and the fans.
