WE SHOULD GO BACK TO BLAMING “CULTURE” AND “DESPERATION” FOR HORRIFIC VIOLENT CRIMES, BECAUSE FOCUS ON PURPORTED ROOT CAUSES WORKED SO WELL IN THE ’60s: Here is how a daughter and her mom react to a violent daylight rape in their neighborhood:

“That somebody was raped here at 7:30 — we live in a rape culture, and I think we’re going in the wrong direction with it. It doesn’t feel like we’re progressing right now,” Melanie Flaxer, 26, said. “It’s horrifying, it’s horrifying, and it’s really a shame that there’s so much desperation,” her mother, Linda Flaxer, added.

So police should put out an APB for “rape culture” and “desperation?”
