There's certainly an elitist bubble ignoring a crime epidemic. But its all around us.
The number of mass shootings in the south has risen exponentially. I'm talking Oklahoma, Florida, Texas. But they wanna distract from their own issues and blame the cities.
I think the cities, for all of their faults, publish and are open about the crimes that occur on their streets. But crime is up all around the country. Its unfair to pretend that its just the cities that are dealing with this.

Case in point: everyone was quick to pretend it was a homeless guy who killed Bob Lee. But when the facts came in, it was Nima Momeni who was within Bob Lee's social circle.
When the facts come down, murderers almost always know their victims personally. Crime is 60+% a self-served justice problem, when people grow untrusting of the local criminal defense system and decide to take things into their own hands (rightfully, or wrongfully). And we can see the growing number of people who want to take things into their own hands by simply watching gun-purchases over the past couple of years.
