To the Editor:

I would just like to take a moment or two to say that I fully support the way this third racist and probably a hate-crime is being handled by SUNY Potsdam and all the other involved agencies.

There is good reason for what they are doing and how they are doing it. These are professionals who are working hard for all of us here as they continue to protect all of us.

We need to support them in these efforts. The media in particular and the people in general all need to exercise patience and support at all times. The better they are able to do their jobs the sooner the investigations and legal processes can be put to work.

We all are almost aching to bring that to a close, some more than others, but we must work with them. The perpetrator/s are working a lot like the terrorists who believe a demoralized and frightened public will weaken the government working and the state as a whole. Let's not be suckered in by him/her/them.
