I think the attack on our guests in our city is beyond atrocious. (The Vicksburg Post, May 24).

To say that this is an “isolated incident” or was a “random attack” is no consolation to the injured lady. The thugs who behave in this manner do not deserve to be walking the streets of any city!

It is very sad when people work all of their lives and save for retirement and travel to have an assault of any kind made on them by lowlifes who know nothing about working for a living, saving to buy anything or having any regard for another human being.

Hopefully, more of a police presence in downtown Vicksburg will turn the tide and prevent further incidences of this nature against not only our visitors and guests in the city, but residents as well.
