"The police continued to search for a motive..." in the killings of the New York police officers ("Motive sought for police shootings," Dec. 22). One doesn't have to look far to find a major part of the motive. The rhetoric from vermin like Al Sharpton wholeheartedly supported by Eric Holder and President Barack Obama and that clown of a New York mayor has as much to do with "motive" as anything.
I am so tired of hearing that crimes attributed to right wing lunatics are a "part of the culture" of conservative hatred, the American gun culture, blah, blah, blah — but when an African-American psycho takes the rhetoric to heart, he is always a "lone wolf," a misguided individual.
Make no mistake about it. There will be others, and Rev. Sharpton, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the rest have blood on their hands. They do not heal, they inflame. And for The Sun to ignore that fact is borderline criminal.
