On the same side

East Brunswick, N.J.: Re “‘I’ll kill the Jews!’ ” (Dec. 10): Unlike the outcry over Michael Brown and Eric Garner, there will be no demonstrations protesting this evil act by a black man who was seemingly deranged. No one will be blocking bridges, tunnels or Macy’s. Instead, many fine black Americans, as well as members of the Lubavitch sect, stood together in Crown Heights to denounce this horrific act. These are the kinds of leaders that the black community needs — those who want to work together with the white community to find non-violent solutions, instead of leaders who seek to stir the pot of hate.
