More and more locals are fighting back against crime

Are people this nuts in Buenos Aires? I saw this video. The bus just got in an accident and it didn't look serious and the woman goes nuts. Is this normal in Argentina?

I wouldn't say this is normal here but many people are hot headed in Argentina. The really bad economy isn't helping but this lady definitely overreacted. I'm sure the city has insurance and it would have paid to repair her car.
 
It's something normal here, too much violence. This lady just wanted to travel with her dog, but it seems that annoyed another passenger who was yelling at her to get off the bus.


 
These days, violence is present in all areas, including education. While it might seem like the news about a student from the University of Buenos Aires threatening to kill his classmates with a shotgun is typical of the United States, this kind of violence and crime is not common here.
