Letter: Hometown Hillsborough's "Hot Tin Roof" Has a "Proud Boy" Problem

(My letter to the editor of The Indy, Durham, NC)

Greetings,

The Hot Tin Roof is located on the street where I live. I have always known it to be an inclusive, vibrant, peace-loving establishment. 

I do not know of any history behind Mr. Dodd's alarming description of a cross-sectional moment in time. (Such history may exist, but it has not come to my attention.)

If the situation Mr. Dodd describes was indeed a "one-off" (or if the owners were unaware of The Proud Boys' patronage), I am satisfied with management's newly implemented protocol to expel such brutes the moment they "show their colors," even though in my gut I would prefer that every possible legal punishment befall these hate groups - with particular focus on the miscreant fascists and hobnailed autocrats who attacked The Capitol on January 6th. If insurrectionists are not punished severely, any failed uprising becomes a dress rehearsal for the next one.

Attentively,

Alan Archibald
