Letters to the Editor: Readers don't want to see your unmasked face in the L.A. Times

So beware, Los Angeles: If your bare face appears in The Times, we’ll probably hear about it.While I certainly applaud Snoop Dogg for helping out with Inglewood’s turkey giveaway, I was surprised to see him with his mask down below his mouth when speaking with a driver.

Is his need for recognition so great that he was willing to risk his health and the health of another person? They were clearly less than six feet apart. I would have been just as pleased had Snoop Dogg been masked and identified by the caption even if I had not been able to recognize him.

Does this publication have any responsibility to show people in compliance with state mandate to wear masks? I’d like to think so. I’m sure you could have found another photo among the thousands of travelers over the Thanksgiving holiday.As a grandfather of two who has struggled since March with the temptation to hug my grandchildren, I was saddened to see your front page depicting the maskless grandmother about to embrace her visiting grandchild.

Only in America are religious gatherings given a pass when a virus imperils the health and well-being of everyone.
