The Seed of Wickedness?

 

Generally speaking it looks folks see the riots in Missouri two ways – Jim Martin who serves on the local School Board gave an example in the newspaper of one way: After the riots he explained to his fellow School Board members they were watching a ‘classic disconnect between how officialdom and people in the community view things.’
 
The seed of wickedness was a breakdown in communications.
 
Other folks see a fellow throw a brick through a shop window and figure they’re not watching a failure of communications – they’re watching a fellow after a new iPhone.
 
You have to appreciate folks who put their faith in empathy but if Jim Martin, standing on the street corner in Ferguson, had said to a rioter, Hold on, we need to communicate – how do you reckon that would have worked out?
