12/23-SHERLOCK HOLMES WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN THE ANSWER; “COMMUNISM!”, BUT HE WOULD QUITE WELL HAVE KNOWN THE QUESTION; “CUI BONO”? (LATIN FOR “WHO BENEFITS?”!)

It’s interesting how national and local media are exploring every aspect of the assassination of the two New York City police officers. Except the one that begs to be reported and pursued.  All friends, family and associates of the killer report that he never seemed to have any money.  He was known as a “couch crasher”, someone who continually barged in on friends’ homes to sleep on a couch.  However, after he committed the murders and then took his own life he seemed to have quite a bit of money.  That suggests he was financed, paid to do a hit on one or more New York policemen.  Who, now, would profit when two grand juries decline to indict two white policemen who shot down two black suspects?  Whose political dreams would come true if America’s racial pottery were smashed?  Sara and Barry know of no more important question at the moment.
