You already answered your own question; the state basically gives them a free pass to do whatever they want while being more tolerant toward them than anyone else. In other words, the majority is being discriminated against to favor the minority. That's why people call for police and strict penalties—because when things go sideways in Ohio, it's only natural to wonder where the hell the government is.
What you fail to grasp is that these people end up discriminating against the Rom community itself—their own children, their women, and the more vulnerable men among them.
Everything is just left to descend into chaos, and then suddenly, everyone wants to take a moral stand against all of them, both the good and the bad.
It’s unlikely anyone would complain about laws being enforced, though you can bet a few progressives would find something to whine about—whether it’s police body cams, forced relocations, or who knows what else some academic would dream up.
No sane person opposes the enforcement of the law.
Take this current case, for instance: they’re going to arrest this man who killed his wife, and if he’s guilty, I hope he goes to prison. Who is going to protest that?
Who would object to him being locked up for domestic abuse prior to this, assuming that was the case?
Nobody.
The idea that they are allowed to break the law just to appease some "leftists" is absolute bullshit.
The reality is far simpler: the state simply doesn't care about them. It’s basically: "Here is your handful of social security checks; now stay out of our way and figure it out yourselves."
