I'm assuming the point trying to be made is that the reason there is so much crime is because local communties tend to overlook the crimes of "Their own" and instead focus on others wrongdoings while ignoring what they've done.
Which to be fair is very common in the area I work at. Though where I work at in Las Vegas there is no racial divide. Black, Hispanic, White, everybody gets along perfectly fine, with "Battle lines" being drawn due to specific slights towards each other, and then people joining in, or just believing the side of the person they like more, assuming the other is completely to blame. Hence there is no accountability or change in behavior. When someone gets out of jail, it's the police's fault for arresting them, not that they stole someone or beat someone so bad they were put in a hospital.
Also strangely enough it's rarely long lived. I've seen a guy pull a knife on another guy's throat having to be convinced by someone else not to use it, and then seen those two people hang out and act like friends a week later. |
That does make sense, then. I've read very many comments on here (and countless other places) where people don't even try to focus on the big problem at hand. Which is somewhat scary. They just don't seem to care really...
