...writing in response to the editorial piece by Justin Danilewitz concerning Crown Heights and its implications for the future political alignment of Jews in America. Danilewitz begins his argument by recounting an incident--the murder of 47 Jews in Kishinev, Russia--which was part of a very real and very long history of anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe. In introducing the example of the Russian pogrom he attempts to link this reprehensible slaughter of Jews to the murder of Yankel Rosenbaum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

"You cannot just say this murder was a culmination of domestic-violence incidents. You need to tell a jury a story. This was about a stormy relationship. I feel we really need to focus on the dynamics of that relationship and focus carefully on the last two months. That's why instead of talking with Nicole's friends, I want to focus on talking...
...need guns? What purpose do they have in society except to encourage murder and mayhem? Why shouldn't guns be banned? Anyone caught using a gun while committing a crime should be put behind bars for the rest of his or her life. If this punishment won't deter crime, I don't know what will. KANCHAN K.
