Letter: Jan. 6 ‘celebrants’ or rioters?

Published: 01-11-2025 7:00 AM

An article in the Jan. 8 edition of the Monitor is titled “January 6 celebrants, hoping for pardons, gather in NH.” I cannot believe anyone would call the rioters celebrants. They broke into a federal building, defecated, destroyed property and hunted down senators and the vice president with chants of violence. Please, let’s not make these people sound like innocent party-goers!
