Lack of Empathy

This unfortunate Afghani accused in the attack on National Guard members in Washington, D.C.: Did they check him for PTSD and brain damage from being near explosions? These are proving to be real issues that lead to impulsive and destructive behavior. If we the invaders recognize this in ourselves, how much worse is it for people who are trying to directly defend themselves and their families … and to deal with the destruction of their country? The lack of empathy is incomprehensible. We will now forbid entry to any from “third world” countries. Guess where the greatest possible economic and ... by Staff Writer

The Real Hoax

It’s a good thing that Congressman Nick LaLota wasn’t conducting a town hall when he penned “Position Unchanged” [Letters, December 4] claiming that he was always all for releasing the Epstein files.

I remain concerned with the following irrefutable facts: The congressman did not sign the discharge petition, without which the vote on the floor of the House ... by Staff Writer

Invest in Youth

I find it confusing that some opponents of the Montauk School bond proposal blame the school for the astronomical cost of living. The Board of Education, in my opinion, is proposing something reasonable to an almost-100-year-old building that has been deemed unsatisfactory on multiple counts [“Puddles, Bugs and Rodents: Montauk School District Hopes $34.8 Million Bond Is the Answer,” 27east.com, October 29]. This school educates almost 300 families who care very deeply about continuing to live in this community. Most of these families, myself included, lament the high cost of living; however, we continue to try to be resourceful and ... by Staff Writer
