They only see the crime that is "against white people of acceptable social status."
They absolutely DoNotSee the crimes against the white homeless, white women, and of course, all the violence being perpetrated against BIPOC in the name of "safety."
Black-on-Black violence? Waved off with the hand. It only exists on the news to reinforce their sense of superiority. They cannot see cause and effect. They don't want to examine their own miserable lives, so thinking about the true cause of societal violence is far too much. They'd much rather jail the black man stealing diapers and formula at convenience store and pay for his incarceration at a private profit prision, than have those same dollars help his family have social services.
My broad assumption is that it's a continued abuse cycle. Just like 'rump, spoiled, always been feed & housed, but abused kids with daddy/mommy issues were once the punching bag, now want their turn to be the aggressor.
I honestly believe, if these jerks had grown up risking their life to leave the house, because literal four-legged predators or large winged dinosaurs might snatch them up, they would have learned community and empathy. Or something resembling that.
The best people I've known, have been those who live in poor neighborhoods, and truly care for their literal neighbors. *sigh*
I wish I could be as caring as those I've met, but still have much of my own parental indoctrination to overcome, but I try.
