      Sounds absolutely wild. What city is this, if you don’t mind me asking? Does the police do anything?

        Antwerp, Europe’s second largest Port City. Together with Rotterdam it’s by far the biggest cocaine hub in Europe.

        As far as I know some time ago a load of several hundreds of kg of cocaine got stolen or something and now there is a war. Over ten people have been killed and there’s weekly attacks and shootings happening right now.

        Corruption aside the police is always one step behind it seems. There’s one house that has been bombed five times in five weeks and only now have they managed to arrest some 18 year old, low ranked guy. They are mainly useless. There are cameras placed in the bad parts of town but they don’t seem to stop anything lol.

        There are talks about sending in the army in the bad parts but I don’t know how serious that option is.

        Turns out segregating minorities into ghettos might not be the best option to prevent crime.
