I can't imagine that there aren't perpetrators of domestic violence, petty and insignificant drug possession, fraud, theft and rape in every area."

I don't even understand what she's trying to argue here. Yes, crime exists in all areas. Some areas have more of it than others. She won't say that because it hurts her ******ed argument that this app targets certain populations, not areas.
