Injuries not considered life threatening
Folks, it’s time to talk to our kids about staying away from old white people, especially their houses. Not even kidding.
Honestly, I somewhat wonder if we need to start holding capitalist media accountable for hysteria and fear-mongering about petty crime. Boomers all get their news from TV and Newspapers that scream at them about youth crime and make it seem like they're going to be attacked by thieves at any moment. This makes them paranoid and trigger happy.
No disagreement on anything here. I'm also wondering how much undiagnosed neurological damage has happened in older people now society has decided to just let COVID rip. We know that COVID can have serious neurological effects, especially in older age groups. And that's not even getting into how poisoned the boomers were by a lifetime of lead exposure, another proven source of neurological damage.
Oh yes, they are culpable

In the US, scaring the old white people is so effective because it plays into their notions of white supremacy. By being afraid of minorities, their feelings of racial superiority are actually increased.
