I think racial hatred against conservatives is so intense in these cities, many of these people will gladly live like this in order not to appear on the side of law and order. It's too "white" for them, and they don't want to see their own go to jail. I think their mayors and other public officials don't want to be called racists themselves, and allow the criminals to keep the upper hand. Many also believe any looting or stealing is getting back at the country for slavery.
The Democrat black leaders are all race baiters, and are a disgrace to this country. If whites talked about blacks the way blacks talk about whites, we'd all be in prison or dead. Instead of promoting peace and promoting the jailing of criminals, the leftist liars on the main stream news shows promote more hatred against America and conservatives than the Muslim terrorists, and get away with it.
