Letter to the Editor: Domestic Terrorism

Dear Editor:

The killing of Downey police officer Ricky Galvez has given us one more thing thing to worry about terrorists. This action is no less than domestic terrorism perpetrated by people whose values show no respect for human life.

I see a failure of family values that made possible that the alleged young criminals thought that they could commit such a crime and get away with it.

Many children are not being taught good values at home.

Are our schools now expected  to teach family values in addition to the three Rs? It is a very tall order for our educators.

 I don't have the answer for this society's problem but if we don't do something about it we can expect more domestic terrorist actions.
