Oh, you mean like 'sanctuary cities'?

Notice how this author only uses examples of Republican violence.

No mention whatsoever of an entire summer full of cities on fire, 
businesses smashed and looted, people killed. Leftists taking over 
entire sections of a city, declaring it off limits to police, fire, and 
EMS, patrolling it with "assault rifles" (which are supposedly anathema 
to the left), then committing all manner of crime inside its boundaries, 
to include rape and murder. And all with the tacit (and often overt) 
approval of leftist government officials, news media, and celebrities.

But the media is objective and unbiased. Just ask them, they'll tell you 
so.
