Counterpoint: No, they're not
What's happening: Democrats are beginning to lash out at people who think crime is bad by insisting that having your car burglarized and riding the subway next to a fentanyl-smoking vagrant are "basic city life experiences."
Wait, seriously? Yes. John Hamasaki, a former San Francisco police commissioner and the failed Democratic Party-endorsed candidate for district attorney following the successful recall of Chesa Boudin, recently lashed out at a tech CEO who lamented that two of his colleagues will be "scarred forever" after having their laptops and passports stolen from their parked car.
"Is this what the suburbs do to you?" Hamasaki wrote on Twitter. "Shelter you from basic city life experiences so that when they happen you are broken to the core?"
Wow, that's deranged. Yes, it is. The same day Hamasaki posted his dumb tweet, a mob of teens took part in a massive brawl at a popular shopping mall—one of several "incidents of mob violence among school-age kids" resulting in "physical injuries" at the location. In other words, just another basic city life experience.

Punishing crime is racist. I thought they already determined that.
uh yeah
it is part of basic city life UNDER DEMOCRAT RULE!
The silver lining is that the City States are inflicted with cancerous rot that can’t be remedied. The emerging fact is that there is simply no longer a need for the cities.
Rotting cities is good for America in the long run
Democrats ARE the criminals behind all of these
“That’s life in the big city.”
A common saying from childhood.
Bet this idiot doesn’t live in the middle of the cesspool his lefty thug buds created.
no longer just soft on crime
dems are pro-crime
Those that want crime and criminals controlled are called racists and homophobes or worse
My people are from the Bronx via Ireland then up to Westchester and beyond. Visiting Manhattan with my great aunt in the 1970s she cried looking at the state of disrepair in Grand Central Station. Surrounded by vagrancy, terrible odor, I said, that’s normal, no? She said no. It’s not. They actually used to shine the brass railings the platform stairways.
Later, Giuliani tried. They hated him and his rules.
The soft bigotry of low expectations. -Limbaugh

This is merely a different facet of the same theme, as a post "next door" shows.

Democrats. Socialists. Authortarians.
The problem is that cancers spread. When the thugs in the cities determine that the stores and people in suburbs are richer targets, guess where they will take their lawlessness.

Nonsense. Accepting this statement at face value is playing into their hand.
What Dems are - they are tired of having legitimate criticisms thrown into their faces, regarding the results of their own idiotic policies, combined with the fact that they have no clue as to any solution (well, any solution that wouldn’t turn them into their opposition).
