Editor,
In response to Kallie Red-Horse’s interview of Kathleen Kelley for “Mayor thinks he can kill property crime,” I cannot believe those words came out of Kathleen’s mouth. Honestly, how can someone believe that a student (poor or otherwise) has the propensity to steal?
I can assure you as a “poor” student, that even though I struggle daily, I have no wish to take from another person. The thought never even arises.
Kathleen, you obviously have very little
experience with people in general. Just because someone is “poor” doesn’t mean that they are likely to steal. I am sure there are plenty of cases out there that involve a “well-to-do” individual stealing just because they can (or for the thrill).
