It is really horrible to see videos like the one attached to this post, when the solution is so easy...
Why the police in third world countries with high crime-rates is not efficient
Sincerely: would you go in the most crime ridden parts of your city for a 100 bucks a month risking to get killed, or would you prefer to go to the safer parts of the city and write parking tickets?
I know for sure that I would not risk my life for a 100 bucks a month, would you?
Also the possibility exists that sometimes because of the low wages police men are forced to enhance their income and choose to go with the side which pays more, which not always is the good side...
So spending on more police does not help somebody in a criminal neighborhood.
Why have a fire-extinguisher at home if you can call the understaffed fire department?
It is like always... people say, if you have a problem with some criminal gangs, just call the police... if you are about to get raped, tell the rapist that you will be calling the police department.
I think this does not prevent crimes and in the best of all cases if you are lucky you will get included in a crime statistic.
The mathematics behind arming law-abiding citizens
Even in Honduras for each gang member right now you have 20-100 victims I would say. So arming the victims will make the criminal consider twice before committing a crime... the grandma actually might kill him. Perhaps he robs 5 people still successfully... but the sixth guy shoots quicker and kills the wrong-doer... One less and 15 to a 100 victims spared.
Right now they can feel safe by robbing a law-abiding citizen or elderly. they will not be able to respond in kind.
I think the streets would get cleaned and safer again within 12 months. The criminals would start working a normal job again and we tourists could come and make some great vacations in these wonderful landscapes, creating jobs in the tourist industry. I would love it!
What do you think?
Another country where living is just hell. You know when I watch videos like that, i really feel blessed and lucky that I live in Mauritius where I have never seen such problems.
Wondering when there will be a free and peaceful world, will it happen or it's just a dream...
Thanks for sharing these info mate!

Mauritius really might be an option... I do not hear much news regarding people killing each other from there... but I do not hear in reality anything neither good or bad... Is it not boring there? I lived on an island for a while and it was really boring...

There is really no wars or fight going on here mate, it's the real definition of peace I can say!
The island is in fact not so small, it's a big island with over 1.3 million inhabitants. I understand that you were bored on an island you stayed, which one was it>
I worked for 2 month in the Maldives, and it was really boring, there is nothing you can there. No roads, nor cars, no mall, nothing!!!
Here it is different in Mauritius, it's like in a big city.

As poverty keeps spreading in the western world I think soon the situation will go to the same level... But also in the current environment I feel it is unacceptable than one has to fear big guys in the street... I would very much appreciate to be able to defend myself anyhow....

And when we think deeply into these problems arising in so many places in the world, all these fights just bring more wealth to the already powerful people. They just use the normal ones to do their dirty jobs. If only the common man could think before acting, life would be beautiful.

Right now the criminals are thinking: this old grandmother can be robbed without a problem... and they are right... they are thinking alread and their conclusions are correct. By changing the parameters they would reach the conclusion that it is better not to rob her..

Gun violence or simply violence of any nature is plaguing the most parts of the world especially third world countries mostly in areas where their is no proper functioning of Law enforcement systems and police as well.They seem to do not involve them in encounters with these criminals out of fear for their lives or pressure from superiors at power.This problem prevails all over the world my Friend but i think this should stop now otherwise it will lead to civil wars if the conditions worsen any more!! :/
