The first letter assumes the attackers are guilty, and opines that this shows that whites in Ithaca are "complacent" about racial hate.
The second letter questions previous assertions that "people of color routinely get held on bail even for minor offenses" and takes the paper for task for printing this allegation without researching whether it is true. The second letter also questions the logic in boycotting a grocery store simply because its video equipment was not working.
The second letter is from an out of towner. The first is, of course, from an Ithacite.
