Am I the only one who thinks the Gallagher siblings did an awful job protecting Liam from the Milkovich’s?
The whole Milkovich infestation plot in season 11 absolutely infuriates me. The Gallagher siblings knew damn well that Terry and his crew want Liam dead, solely because he’s black. They even went as far as to hang a confederate flag on their porch and brand swastikas on themselves. Meanwhile, Liam’s siblings barely did anything to protect him. Yes, they tried to drive the Milkovich’s out multiple times, but it seemed like they did it more for themselves than they did for Liam. While they were all impacted by the savagery going on next door, no one was as close to a bigger target than Liam was. He told them that they were throwing stuff in his bedroom while yelling racial slurs, and they had the nerve to leave him home alone. He could have been killed and no one took the situation seriously. They were all caught up in their own issues and they neglected the wellbeing of their youngest sibling. Even when the deer head was placed in Liam’s room, they still barely did anything to keep him safe. I love the Gallaghers, but the way they behaved in season 11 was pretty telling of their true character. I feel like Mickey (who’s a Milkovich himself) even did a better job at protecting Liam. So disappointing and disheartening, but then again the show is called “Shameless”. However, I still think Liam deserved so much better.
