I live in Brazil and as "brasil" says in your comments, here we have in all the big cities this terrible problem unfortunatly. My city is Campinas in São Paulo state and due the huge industrialization of the city without the correct distribution, the society become itself very violent.

Tell me a little bit about your country, I would like to know something about it. 'Cause, my country is calm down, now, for while! Only very floodings because is raining so much over, this year. Before I forget, I am not a Sherlock Holmes, just curiosity. Cheers for you! Good lucky for all. Hi, Tania! Tell me a little bit about your country, I would like to know something about it.

Unfortunately, this type of scenes is quite common in the beatiful "Rio" like we brazilians proudly calling the marvelous city. But, the criminals are taking controll. If you wish to see an informative report, just writing "helicoptero da policia derrubado" in search line on the youtube. There are a dozens of videos about it, there. From now, I will talk a little about Brazil(Brasil in portuguese) sometimes, ok? But, I can not write a interesting police novel, yet(kidding) Thanks Tania, and "saudações"(greetings) for all members and participants. Hello, Tania thanks for reading my comment.

Are We masochistic, or what? I can understand the Mr.Lomas's goal (that is, make money), but not the people who take this tour. I'm sure they are few because if not, I will have to change my mindset. As for the reverend Gregory Boyle, he's the person who has been doing all the work for helping these communities and I am totally agree about his words and his experience. To sums up, I would opt for other choice in BEAUTIFUL Los Angeles such as visiting ESL Podcast Studio or Angelina Jolie's house (this is just an example, of course, don't get me wrong). Impressive article, Lucy, as usual... Alejandro (Elche, Spain) My real opinion about this tour is simple: people do anything for a fistful of dollars!.
