You just need to be a bit more vigilant.
In Rehab we have incidents of fighting between nieghbours, Burglaries, car acidents etc... but that happened before the revolution as well...... but its not on a massive scale. The way things are reported can cause alot of scaremongering.

In order to get the police/security back working with the community is going to a massive task, one which is going to take a long tinme to acheive as no-one follows any rule/law etc anyway, or do they even know what they are/were? and that includes the police.......lollllllll

I do agree that prior to the revolution things were happening but not reported and that everyone was kept in the dark; however I have to admit that things did get out of control after the revolution (Some people try and argue that this "loose" security situation is happening on purpose, but whether this is happening on purpose or not is a whole different story).

My point is, fire arms are being used more often right now, and I'm not talking about police using fire arms, or about armed robbers using theirs, I'm talking people using machine guns in normal day to day life "situations", if someone doesn't like the price of something, they shoot the shop keeper, if they disagree with a taxi driver, they shoot at him etc.! Also kidnapping people and car jacking, yes it used to happen before, but definitely not as much......So I can't really compare being showed false statistics to what's happening right now......

One of the Mafioso from the shacks at the back of the tower tried to extract money from the Fairmont Hotel, which resulted in one of the tourist police shooting and killing him. Then off cause all his buddies joined in the fight. I could not leave Nile City, my car was locked into the basement, so took a taxi home.

Glad you're safe!

And your colleagues should be happy they were not in their cars

That's what Umm ***** (First lady, but she says she hates that title, so she wants to be called Umm ***** instead ) was saying during the election too..........But then she gave orders for a pool in her new residence

It's sad that hypocrisy is one of the most amazing characteristics of humans
