LETTER TO THE EDITOR / HATE AS A DEFENSE OF PREDATORY BEHAVIOR

Roger C. Kostmayer

Key West is a wonderfully open and tolerant community that explicitly believes in “One Human Family” and in free speech.

But a small number of (allegedly non-Key West) people who own or operate a few cosmetic shops have: fraudulently preyed on vulnerable KW guests (for huge amounts of money), aggressively harassed and bullied KW pedestrians, and used hate speech on passers-by and the courageous local citizens who are protesting and trying to protect tourists. These bad actors have also violated KW code regulations.

Our terrific Mayor and Commissioners must protect our tourists, our legitimate local businesses and our precious reputation, by all means available.
