Today I was trying to work on my next post, but I couldn’t… Why? you ask. Well because I’m angry at my country, I’m angry at the youth nowadays! Let me explain to you guys what is happening in my city.
Lately, my city is full of theft and brutal attacks on normal people! THIS IS NOT NORMAL IN MY CITY FYI!
A group of three guys has been waiting for people to get out of the parties, usually at 4 am, and they ask them for a cigarette, if the person doesn’t have any, or doesn’t comply they follow the question with a brutal beating, for no apparent reason. Four college students are now in the hospital, at least, from my own knowledge, one of them needed surgery.
Now, I’ve encountered these guys before, last Monday they stopped two friends of mine, they thought they were alone, only when they realized I was with them did they stop. Why? you ask. Well I’ve been working out for 4 years, I’m not huge, but I am above average, also I didn’t show any fear, they walked towards me, I walked towards them, I was even laughing while doing it and of course because they are cowards, they don’t mess with more than 2 guys at the same time, they’ve only beat up people that were alone!
Ok, but now you must be thinking “Why are you angry? They didn’t mess with you!”
I’m angry because I know that the only way for the police to do anything, or for them to go jail is for the police to see them in action, and not even them are that dumb! And if I tried to defend myself and they ended up in the hospital, I would be one in trouble. I’m angry at the youth that gets a beating and instead of doing anything they lock themselves in their homes afraid of going out at night.
Now, I’m only 23, I hate violence, my family hates violence, but even my father, after seeing the four guys arriving at the hospital, squirting blood out of their noses, half their teeth knocked out of their sockets, even him told me that “if this was back in my days, there would already be a group of 10 to 15 people walking the streets searching for these cowards who like to beat people 1 vs 3”, if this happened to me you be sure that I wouldn’t stay at home being a coward, and even though I like the police in my small town, I know they can’t do anything, sometimes the people have to do what the police can’t do! Yes, there are laws, if there weren’t laws our society would be a jungle, but sometimes laws don’t lead to justice in my opinion.
Yesterday they beat up another guy, and guess what, this time instead of three people there were four, one of them was a girl that liked to watch… stupid animals!
Should I start going out at night with a weapon? I never went out at night with a knife, but should I? Should we organize a group of people to scare away these assholes for good? I bet if they saw 10 people going against them they would never step foot in our town again... this is like the wild wild west, where robbers entered towns and the townsfolk had to scare them away with guns... Should we just wait for the police to finally be able to catch them, even though everyone knows who they are? What if they start beating up girls too? What if they rape them? I know violence only leads to violence, but sometimes we need to defend ourselves don't you think so?
Something that I think you guys should know, my town is a really small town, we are mostly college students, we almost don't have gangs and the ones we have are only drug dealers dealing with "weed" they don't beat people up, they prefer to get high with their customers... good guy drug dealer
I would love to hear you guys talk about this issue, what would you guys do if you wanted to go out at night, but you couldn’t because of a stupid group of animals that liked to beat people up and the cops were powerless to do anything?
Any comment is a good comment, even if you don’t agree with my opinion, we can argue, we can fight, we can scream, but both of us are part of the steemit community, in the end, we will just agree to disagree and continue to be friends, so don’t be afraid to comment!

I'm going to try to do this sort of posts as well as the steemstem posts I usually do, I love talking with people, and I like this types of controversial topics.
