News today talk about violence only.

On weekends it seems that the international news are asleep so nothing much is said. I think that the last piece of news I heard was about President Biden reaching Poland. The rest of the news is about people beating each other here. Lately, my country has had so much violence that it is a shame. Part of it is an excess of ilegal immigrants but I cannot blame it all on them. Even neighborhood that used to be quiet are now worried. I lived for decades in my house not bothering to close the windows during the summer. Now I close my house, have an alarm system and hope that Luna does her work as a guardian dog (although she only barks to other dogs). There are protests marchs everywhere. And people are so stressed that they snap for anything. How is it in your country? I blame this partly in the covid and partly on drugs.

We have our violence here too for various reasons; but where we live is currently problem-free. Knock on wood. I'm sorry that there are so many problems in your country.

@marguicha I didn't realize you were in the city. I thought you lived out in the suburbs or in the country.

@LindaOHio I live in the biggest city of this country. Here people are packed. And nobody wants to go and live in other places.

Compared to many places, it's not too bad here really.

I always have the feeling that Australia in general does not have too many cities where thereĀ“s not much room. If I am wrong, tell me. But in my country it is mostly where I live (the capital where millions live) that have all the trouble.

@JudyEv The city where I live has over 6 million of inhabitants. And as only a few have all the wealth, the violence is big.

Our news here does not do a good job of reporting the happenings in your area. I had no idea such demonstrations and protests were going on there. What is behind it all?

@marguicha I am saddened to learn your city's problems are growing so bad. I hope someone can step up and provide the leadership needed to help improve things.

I agree. And the pandemia has not helped.
