Deep dives

Blame on Local Businesses

Activists in a city facing a surge in crime are rallying against local businesses, particularly targeting a Texaco gas station, blaming it for the surrounding violence instead of the actual criminals. Politicians, such as Kenneth Stokes, are proposing to shut down businesses like the gas station, arguing they are public nuisances and responsible for deaths in the community. This misguided blame reflects a larger trend of evading accountability for crime by directing frustration towards local businesses and exacerbates the existing issues rather than addressing the root causes of crime. The narrative also highlights a disconnect where community members rally against the effects of violence without recognizing their complicity in voting for policies that may have led to these issues.
