There is no in between in an act such as this, and to pretend otherwise is irresponsible...

In the immediate aftermath of last year's riots, which left 53 dead and $500 million in property damage, the city rallied together for a moment of giddy anticipation that the trauma would lead to a massive refurbishment. Not just of the charred buildings but of the city's values, political leadership and sense of shared responsibility. It didn't last long.
