Letter writer Charlotte Eliopoulos has the audacity to compare littering to the loss of life of three black males from the "bullets of policemen." And she further writes that "...had [the dead black men] been taught and held accountable [I guess she means not to litter] for proper behavior they might still be with us" ("Littering comes down to a question of attitude," Dec. 14).
To minimize and to trivialize the death of these young black men is appalling and disrespectful to the highest level. Rather then recognizing the injustice of the murder of these young black men, Ms. Eliopoulos has decided to make a statement, taking a stand that they lacked the ability to act appropriately so that in the end they were responsible for their own death.
Shame, shame on her.
