It's one of philosophy. Liberals always blame something or somebody else. You know, your actions are not your fault. So, they tend to look other places for reasons why people commit crimes and not at the person committing the crimes. This is why these liberal cities also want wants to defund the police. I remember one kid was shot and killed for robbing a house. His sister, which didn't actually seemed to concerned that he got killed, said, "how is he gonna get his money?" AGAIN -- liberalism is a mental illness!! They cannot connect the dots concerning their philosophy and increased crime!
