Johannesburg, Caracas, Rio, and Sao Polo are the world's toughest cities, I would guess. Your life is really worth nothing criminals in those areas, whether you give them what they want or not.

Worth watching, but it ignores reality while adhering to politically correct moral equivalency.
The truth is that the police/ruling society could completely crush, destroy and eliminate all resistance if they tried, but of course they aren't so barbaric to do so. On the other hand I can't doubt that the Mohammedans would do so in a heartbeat if they could.

Didn't hear the word Islam not even once. After all it has nothing to do with anything right?

Nothing anyone is willing to risk his career by identifying. Not in this series, at least. Words like "poor", "deprived", and "alienated" are nice and safe.

Craven excuses for journalists.

Total,
A friend of mine, who grew up in Compton, told me that when he went to Paris he made the mistake of taking the subway from the airport. He said going through the banlieus was the scariest thing he ever experienced in his life.
