To the editor:
I sit here in shock and tears, a mere 30 minutes after waking up to the horrible news about the attack on Clementa Pinckney and his church– and on civilization. I opened your column and found the very thoughts I needed to hear, and to endorse.
From one writer to another, I know what it takes to see one’s community touched by horror, and then to sit down at a keyboard and try to pull some sense from it in the still of pre-dawn hours. As someone else once said, “you just open a vein.” Thank you.

Quick response was great service to community
To the editor:
Your article moved me immensely.
You have done a great service by immediately writing this response to such an evil deed. And by expressing views that not all will support, but need to be heard by all.
I have been watching the CNN and Fox coverage here. Am very impressed with the measured and human response by the police chief and Mayor Riley, which I am sure will do much to keep community reaction calm as they search for the culprit.
I hope many read your article, take note, and take action.
