Re “Sandy Hook Suits Target Fabulist and Online ‘Post Truth’ Culture” (front page, May 24):

Your article about Alex Jones and his InfoWars website that claims that the Sandy Hook shootings of all those innocent children was a hoax was shocking. The wave of harassment and death threats to the parents of children who were slaughtered in that massacre is beyond comprehension. I did not believe there were such vile people in our country.

And President Trump’s appearance on Alex Jones’s radio show, and telling him “I will never let you down,” is inconceivable. To all the honest, decent, hardworking, religious and moral people who voted for Donald Trump, I beg you: Please, please, please, do not condone this sort of thing!

To the Editor:

This case should be discussed at dinner tables and in classrooms.

I am humbled by the power and grace of these families and their willingness, even in their ongoing grief, to do what so many of us have not managed to do: Hold accountable those who purport to treasure freedom, but only as it benefits their narrow views. Thank you.
