nah in europe there is not any city even close to tjiuana or caracas or other south american city, they are by far the most violent in the world
the difference of napoli, palermo and southern cities with the european ones is the daily extortions to every shop, enterprises etc. that put in danger virtually every shopkeeper


Well PTD isn't something that people pick up for fun. If kids in the inner city got it, there is a reason. Plus, for Eurpean standard...certain places of Naples can easly be compared to those cities. Where entire neighborhoods are under the complete control of organized crime. They even have a surveillance system around the whole area. Kids working as spotters, and teenagers questioning anyone that enters (by foot, scooter or car) even if it's an average Joe Doe.
