Uncivil society becomes the norm

 Why is it that neighborhoods that have a high rate of violent crime and shootings don't march in the streets every day for a change ?

How can people honestly promote the defund the police mantra without thought to the consequences ?

Why is there a call and some action taken on freeing those in jail, despite whatever crime they are accused of.

I believe the answer is two fold.
1. There is a higher level of acceptance of crime, in all its forms, locally and nationally. We start with personal law breaking where the individual has broken some law - speeding, drug use, not reporting all incomes, putting things in garbage for pickup that shouldn't go there - and we accept and justify it. Then we extend that courtesy to those around us, our friends, relatives and neighbors. We overlook our sister stealing from Walmart or our brothers alcoholic benders or our co-worker stealing from the company. We then feel bad for all the hard luck stories of people in jail who shouldn't be there, who are innocent, whose terms are out of proportion for the crimes. We see the injustice of innocent people being executed or a person going to jail for a crime and then having the crime statue reversed as in the case of marijuana laws.  We begin to view laws as non-enforceable, outdated, or impotent to deter crime and the attitude of  ' what difference does it make anymore' creeps in. And so we are left with the attitudes of:
Rioters --> They're just expressing their rage

Tax cheats --> The government is too big anyway and doesn't need all that money

Looting --> The stores have insurance and I need this TV. 

Shootings--> That's just the neighborhood we live in and the way they handle disputes. 

And the allowance for bad behavior creeps down into simpler, personal interactions such as the parking lot in Walmart or around the dinner table.  The same attitude of " it's cool because I'm doing it" is there an allows for uncivil behavior.
