I think it must be. There seems to be a clear period where this stuff skyrocketed.
Not like social media was invented in 2020.

Even if Defund didn't really 'defund' to the extent that same may claim, it doesn't matter.
The movement created an environment where police didn't matter. That they were villainized. And policy held them back, tied their hands, or just made an atmosphere of , "fine, why risk my life for this".

And criminals are more than happy to stretch their arms.

It was mentioned in the previous thread, that the Wendy’s employee had been arrested several times for assault and violence, and yet he seemed to be released back on the street each time. Hopefully he is put away for a looong time this time, as this incident would have been avoided if he was locked up. Although, with the way the justice system is, there’s no guarantee he’ll be locked up a long time.

It’ll be interesting to see how long he’s been living in that area. The Northern Arizona town of Prescott has a lower than National average crime rate. Tends to lean pro law enforcement.

I'm just not seeing how this can be interpreted as victim blaming.
Yall can defend the violent pedo if you want, I wont. Not defending the puncher either but to call out the Dunkin situation like it's the same as this wendys one is not smart.
