Violence in Rio

The week before the last of 2006 was marked by violence in Rio. The buses were burned people were killed. It is violence and it is terrorism. Not political but social. Certainly it is bad. But what good is that Brazil has freedom. The police states like Cuba do not have violence because the government assumed the role of mafia. It is also interesting that in the free countries there are citizens that are ready to follow the orders of the criminal boss. And it is not necessarily because of the weak laws. It is different national character. When there is a freedom some people take advantage of it. So should the rest of people give up freedom to gain security like they did in the USA?

Seven million people in the USA were in jail or under investigation or on parole at the end of 2006 . If one put millions of people in jail one will reduce violence a little and unemployment by a lot! But Brazil will not do it like it decided against banning weapon of hands of the citizens in 2006.
