Liberals and Crime

One thing liberals will never call gun violence 🔫 is a crime. Liberals don’t like to think of gun violence as a crime, even though murder very much a crime in all jurisdictions, and often is considered one of the most serious crimes, falling only slightly behind terrorism and treason.

The reason many liberals don’t like to call gun violence a crime, is addressing crime is generally thought of as requiring more aggressive policing 👮 combined with increased policing in low-income neighborhoods that are primarily of color. It’s hard though to ignore where murders and crime are happening, if you want to be able to address it in an effective way. 🚔
