Deadly political correctness

June 24, 2016 12:00 am • Last Updated: June 24, 2016 4:12 pm

"Orlando Strong, Orlando United," (June 18) along with "Simple rules can increase survival odds," are all for naught when the perpetrator of the violent crime was taken off the FBI list of suspected terrorists. Several explanations for this have been given, but I don’t really know for sure, so I can’t subscribe to them; however, what I have heard makes sense and that explanation revolves around "Political Correctness" and the order to leave a "victimized" group alone. Let’s protect all citizens. Aren’t we all Americans? Or in the name of George Orwell, "Are some more equal than others?"
