What this letter amounts to is recognition of the commonsense idea that when Community A feels that its turf is being invaded by Community B, the less-controlled members of Community A may be expected to react with violence against perceived members of Community B.
This is basic human biology/psychology. Not that it justifies criminal behavior.
Too bad it can’t be similarly applied to “white Americans” who feel threatened as a community. Their feelings aren’t considered valid.
Appears that I posted this comment to the wrong thread.
Apologies.
