Un-raise the Age
The Raise the Age law is a dismal failure, and punk Zyairr Davis is glaring proof (“ ‘Tessa fiend’ rap in slay try,” Oct. 26).
This stupid law is meant to keep children out of jail. Well, Davis stopped being a child when he helped his friend commit a murder.
All he got was 18 months in a juvenile detention facility. Now he is committing violent crimes again, firing guns into a crowd of innocent people.
Davis is committed to a life of criminality and should be put in jail.

Kamala . . . again?
Unless Kamala Harris intends to run as an independent or for the “Word Salad” Party, she has zero chance as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president; smoke and mirrors won’t get the job done (“Kam again? Likely,” Oct. 26).
Harris’ only value to her party might lie in chasing potential voters toward better qualified and far more appealing candidates.

Priscilla’s law
As someone who’s nearly been struck by e-bikes while walking on Queens sidewalks, I appreciate New York City’s 15 mile-per-hour speed limit on e-bikes (“Speed bump for NYC e-bikes,” Oct. 24).
But enforcing it requires a law to hold violators accountable. “Priscilla’s Law,” which would mandate registration and license plates for all e-bikes and scooters not regulated by the New York DMV, is blocked by the City Council’s “progressive” members who claim it would unfairly affect food delivery workers, many of whom are immigrants and people of color.
This is nonsense. Far left lunatics are playing the race card to stack the deck against a bill that would bolster the safety of all New Yorkers, regardless of their race.

2,000 minks freed
It was called a “terrorist act” when people broke into a mink farm in Iowa and released 2,000 minks (“2,000 mink freed in blink,” Oct. 25).
Animals on fur farms are intensively confined and denied everything natural to them. Sometimes, they can be improperly stunned and skinned while still conscious. All of this takes place so that people can wear animals’ skin as a fashion or status statement.
People who do this to animals are the real terrorists.

Autopen president
The revelation of an administration cloaked in deceit and run by incompetents, while not surprising, is nevertheless shocking. It confirms what we all saw and what Democrats and the media told us were cheap fakes (“ ‘Penning’ story of Joe coverup,” Miranda Devine, Oct. 30).
President Trump and his administration owe it to the American people to pursue and prosecute everyone involved with the greatest political scam and coverup in our nation’s history. Let the Democrats call it political retribution; we the people call it accountability.

Barack’s ‘court’
In response to Thomas De Julio’s letter about President Obama’s basketball court, here are the facts (“Trump’s Historic New Ballroom,” Letters to the Editor, Oct. 28).
President Obama only added one basketball hoop to the already existing tennis court on the White House grounds.
