That is one of the biggest problems in American society today. Everyone is above the law except the people trying to live by or enforce legal rules or or commonsense behavior standards. Over the past 20 years but especially since covid, our neighborhood and the public parks have had steadily escalating misbehavior, trespassing, vandalism and littering, and our community association dues have quadrupled, in no small part due to these damages.
All those "participation trophy" kids, all grown up now. It doesn't take long to wreck a nation.
We probably could fill several books about this misbehavior problem. My observation is that it has been bred by TV shows and movies that show ‘edgy’ characters who are able to bend the rules. How cool is that !
When you see your media favorites ‘flippin off da man’ it leads some folks to want to emulate. This was reprehensible behavior, but in her mind she may have been composing her next FB post, where she ‘put that *itch in her place...’
And the Left, aided by irresponsible ego-centric politicians, understand that as their worship of George Floyd demonstrates.
Everyone is above the law except the people trying to live by or enforce legal rules or or commonsense behavior standards.
You think those enforcing the law don't think they are above the law?
How cute.
