Drawing and editorial decision troubling | Letter

I find the drawings of the tsunamis by Mr. Shiers (published in the March 18 edition of the Kent Reporter) to be extremely misguided and embarrassing.

I find the drawings of the tsunamis by Mr. Shiers (published in the March 18 edition of the Kent Reporter) to be extremely misguided and embarrassing.

To compare the horrific natural disaster that devastated much of eastern Japan to the incompetence of many of our elected state officials is incredulous.  To compare how our state may suffer, to the death and destruction in Japan is unconscionable.  Mr. Shiers has had a habit of creating “questionable” depictions in the past.

I question what the editors of the Auburn and Kent papers were thinking when they “approved” the publication.  Mr. Klaas and Mr. Box, you both should be embarrassed at such an insensitive “creation”.  The Auburn Reporter lacks in many areas so perhaps it’s time for Sound Publishing to move in another direction.

My heart goes out to the people of Japan.
