This whole thing for the part, is the permissive politicians at the bottom. We have gobs of local control. It just isn't exercised. We saw that during the BLM riots and any other riots where local politicians cared more about staying in office than they did about defending and operating their city. We also saw it at state level, where governors likewise did not lead their state, but sat it out. These same things apply to education, policing and across the board. Ultimately modern parents are to blame. Stuff kids are being arrested for at school, they used to get an ass whipping at school and probably another at home when normal parents found out. Now there is no disciplining in any meaningful way and it was lousy parents that put a stop to it. So, kids grow up without discipline and people are actually proud, they never warm the ass of their kid with a paddle or belt. People do not like having to be the bad guy, but sometime (often) that is what the parent, teacher, mayor, and governor have to be. It just goes with the job and many people are not up to it.
Well, you almost had me until you put all the blame on parents! Sure, there are some bad parents out there but for the most part, many bad parents come from kids being owned by cellphones these days and living in the make-believe world created on the internet, by parents so caught up in the pressures of working two jobs to make ends meet and from the RESTRICTIONS put on their parenting by the progressive government who have CREATED the situation where kids get away with murder now BECAUSE schools nor parents can even touch a kid now without being sued or having the kids taken from you. Maybe even sued by your own kid.
