Addressing crime with facts is better than with emotion, name-calling
Editor:
Paul Lauricella accused me of “outright hostility towards his neighbors,” and using words like “racist, bigoted, and hateful.” Those are lies. I have never used those words or been disrespectful in any of my letters; never.
It is interesting that Mr. Lauricella attacks me, personally rather than the facts or my arguments. It is also very disappointing that the Orleans Hub prints such a libelous letter.
Crime has always been a problem and is a problem everywhere. It is an emotional issue and not all crime can be stopped. Universities have established programs to study the causes of crime and ways of reducing and hopefully preventing crime.
We have a choice, we can continue to use an emotional response for crime issues, or we can use what has proven successful through actual study and facts.
