TO THE EDITORS: Regarding the Oct. 12 newspaper and the girl nabbed for throwing gum at an officer: Did she do this on purpose, or, like 99.9 percent of teenagers, did she just spit out her gum?
With overweight tractor-trailers, speeding motorists, drug dealers on corners, etc., I'm relieved that the state trooper hunted down Manheim Township's notorious gum-spitter.
Give me a break!

Put her in the stocks, right next to people who flick their cigarette butts on the ground.
