Im sure lessons are learned better there. Here, you can violently rob someone and beat them, and cops ask which fast food joint you want to pickup at as they transfer you to another jail the next morning. Not a finger laid on the perps here hardly anymore.

actually no...it is very rare for criminals to get beat up on the street if they did not commit something really terrible...violence is very rare...even though we have the 2nd highest gun rate per capita in the world right after the USA...
I was once in neighboring croatia, the cops actually apologized to me for asking ID from me and my friends, assuring us that the only reason we got ID-d is that they are looking for somebody who fits our description, and that they feel terrible about this because we are from serbia and they do not want this to reflect negatively upon their hospitality...
we are not india or thailand...no street justice...
the USA is becoming a scary place...reminds me a lot of pre WW2 germany...
