Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.Grim remindersof East Bay lifeIn the June 13 edition there were 11 stories on Pages B2 and B3, either continued from Page B1 or printed in full. Nine of those stories had headlines that included words like “carjacking,” “shooting,” “sex offender” and “deadly home invasion.” These stories filled those two pages (less obituaries) and I found it a disappointing example of daily life in the East Bay.

Editors have no choice but to print them when lives are lost. Depending upon what authority is quoted, crime is either up or down, but it is with us. Those two full pages reflect today’s life in the East Bay. And, even worse, these stores often involve guns in the hands of those who should not be allowed to ...
