Dear Matthew:

Yes and no: “people who live in the ghetto”- yes, “and who aggress others on the street”- no: I asked you and you explained to me that you don’t know of anyone in your school/ any of your peers who was attacked by people who live in the ghetto.

You described an event when an older kid poured water on you (I think it was water), but you didn’t know if he was from the ghetto. You thought it might have been someone from school. I don’t think you ever figured out where he lived.

You also wrote about the people who live in the ghetto are always on the streets (how would you know unless you too are always on the streets..),  that they are not afraid of the police, or that the police is afraid of them, and yet, you suggested that the reason they didn’t attack any of your peers is because your peers are bigger and stronger than you. (It doesn’t make sense that they will be afraid of bigger kids but are not afraid of armed men aka the police).

All in all, well, contradictions, lack of logical continuity. Matthew- please don’t add more contradictions to the mix, I have low tolerance for contradictions.
