Because it is getting VERY bad here.
Much worse then the States, don't listen to those that are always saying,
Crime happens everywhere and that they have not been victims.
Tell that line to the family and friends of the taxi drivers.
The taxi drivers never experience getting killed before now either!
Not being a victim does not mean it's safe, it means you have just been lucky.
The odds are stacking up against you.

With all due respect Don I'm aware of what goes on in this country and the crime. After all, I my sister in law works in the public hospital at all hours where they take the majority of those involved in violent altercations and what not.
As far as comparisons the situation in the States, I reserve the right to formulate my opinion based on my own experiences. With that said I feel no worse off here in Santiago than I did in Orlando. The police in Orlando are great and professional but of course all those that get killed by home invasions and drive by shootings don't know that. All it means is that the perps might get caught whereas here they don't. Bad thing is our country anymore is turning out criminals by the truckload - it's as if the adults anymore never had anyone tell them right from wrong. Come to think of it that is the the exact reason and because many of these kids don't have dad's either.
