Letters: 'Hurt my dog, hide your cat!'
ON JAN. 5, letter-writer Pat Dever inveighed about residents who place "trash cans, cones, buckets, and chairs" to save parking spaces they may have shoveled out. Dever also wrote about removing such items "even when I'm not looking to park."

On Jan. 18, Dever wrote that "it seems" the initial "letter struck a nerve" because the DN "posted four letters very much against my stance on saving parking spots, with the writers going as far as threatening me and my tires" and "something has to be done to control this issue before maniacs go out. . . vandalizing vehicles."
I wonder if Dever's perception of "maniacs" includes those who provoke such retaliatory behavior, like Dever himself, who arbitrarily and spitefully decide to "remove trash cans, cones, buckets, and chairs. . . even when I'm not looking to park."
It would behoove Dever to recognize the philosophy of the four letter-writers he proposes to sabotage: If you hurt my dog, hide your cat!
