Are these incidents increasing or are we being baited into believing it's increasing. The anger displayed by the perpetrators is almost beyond our comprehension. When we hear race baiting we dismiss it as ridiculous but is that feeding this violence? Or is the violence being showcased, in our faces, to make us just as violent or paranoid?

We’re probably being baited into believing it’s increasing dramatically. I believe it’s increasing. Just not as dramatically as often made out. More and more people then ever carry cameras around in their pocket. And the absurd clout trends mean kids and Teenagers are filming more of their shitty behavior, antics and bad decisions then they were in the past. Where before a beating might be a blip on the local news and a police report. Now it can become National News. The phrase “Out of sight. Out of mind” springs to mind.
It IS increasing.
I said as much.
What I clarified is. I don’t think it’s increasing as dramatically fast as we’re being led to believe it is.
I live in the hood. It's on the rise.
