The summer riots of 2020 were a super-spreader event for a crime wave that has infected the nation, particularly in our cities. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. That coupled with the anti-cop sentiment, official notices from mayors to basically stand down, and lack of consequences has resulted in thugs running the streets with impunity. It was only a matter of time before the chaos crept into the leafy suburban areas here.
I have to agree with that conclusion. And the future does not look too bright for improvement.
