both sides

A variant of what is known as the 'thou also' or 'tu quoque' logical fallacy. In popular usage, a refusal to admit the one side of an issue is wholly responsible for violence, injustice, disruption, intransigency etc. Rather the more nebulous, and often completely untrue, 'both sides' is referred to in order to obfuscate guilt, shift blame, and otherwise distract from the seriousness of the events at hand.

Moss Side is a fairly small, deprived, inner city area of Manchester with a big attitude. Inhabited by some of the most violent gangs in the country, walking the streets at night there is more dangerous than walking around Baghdad with a tshirt saying "IM A NIEVE BRITISH TOURIST, KIDNAP ME!". The only reason outsiders go to Moss Side is to score drugs or pick up prostitutes, otherwise people just avoid the place all together. Even cops dont like to patrol the streets on foot.

Many people call Moss Side the Compton of England. They are wrong. Compton is the Moss Side of America. Moss Side and its surrounding areas actually have a higher murder rate per capita than Compton.

Moss Side. A great place to leave.
