Ferguson & St. Louis, MO -- Deaths and Protests

[Blindgreed1]

All of your points are based only on your personal views and your worst-case predictions -- they don't take into account the words or views of those directly involved and those affected. I don't think you can even entertain the possibility that some responsibility for the current climate in Ferguson lies both with the community members and the police force/city officials. Luckily, some of the police and city officials don't have that limitation.

Your positions don't seem to acknowledge the existing problems, they don't appear to consider historical social changes (for the better) that have indeed resulted from similar circumstances, and it seems to me they're set in concrete regardless of situational factors -- and that's that, for you.

And, that's fine. But, it's not naive for people to consider factors outside of themselves and have a broader perspective than the world according to Gunnar. It's not naive for people to embrace change and hope for improvement, knowing that the changes might fail. But, I understand why you specifically would want to label people with a different outlook as "naive", and probably even need to believe it.

I hope that you at least want to be wrong in your guess that the situation will be worse, rather than better, in 10 years.

I don't believe you have any facts to back up that theory, so for now we'll call it your hypothesis. Time will tell.
