Letter: 'Crime rate' comment maligns Seaford

We were shocked and frankly appalled that an editor allowed this ridiculous comment to be printed ["Residents shocked by shooting," News, Dec. 31]: Sean Grimmer, 21, of Warren, Pa., left Seaford about eight years ago, saying, "I moved out of Long Island for this reason. The crime rate is getting ridiculous."
He was 13 when his parents decided for whatever reason to move from Seaford. It certainly had nothing to do with any crime situation.
Put yourself in a Seaford homeowner's position, who is trying to sell a home, and a potential prospect reads this story. What would they think?
Rosemarie and George Smith, Seaford
