More and more locals are fighting back against crime

[Digital Nomad]

It's good to see more and more people sick of getting robbed and fighting back. I've been seeing more cases like this in the news and on X.

Newcomer - A Large Percentage of Argentinians Want to Be Digital Nomads: A Growing Trend!

I mentioned a few months ago that my partner's police officer sister was robbed at gunpoint and her car was taken. Guess what? Last month, the same thing happened to my partner's brother in law while he was driving Didi. People don't rob your car like that where I come from. And here two people...

In Corrientes, neighbors catch a thief and give him a whipping in public. Sweet justice.

Too bad the police aren't better shots! 🤣 Saw this video today of the police not able to shoot the tires out of this car with thieves.

People are tired of all the theft, and many are taking justice into their own hands. While this can sometimes work out, it can also be dangerous. This time, a thief broke a car window to steal in the Congreso neighborhood, and the neighbors caught him.

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.

Cases of vigilante justice are on the rise; people are tired of the insecurity.

“Tenés que laburar, no robar”: un grupo de vecinos de La Plata atrapó a un ladrón de autos y lo redujo hasta que llegó la Policía

El sospechoso fue visto romper los vidrios de un vehículo, del que arrebató un par de botines. La secuencia fue registrada en un video que se viralizó en redes sociales

Hopefully the price increases don't care more issues like this with people on public transport and buses in CABA.

These local bus drivers don't have anything on our American bus drivers!

Some of these public transportation videos in Argentina look like fight club!

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.

Estudiante libertario amenazó con asesinar a sus compañeros de la UBA: “Tengo una escopeta y la voy a usar en la fiesta de exactas”

La amenza fue a través de un mensaje por un grupo de Telegram de la cursada. La entidad educativa comenzó a tomar acción en el asunto y el estudiante podría ser suspendido.

Look at this woman, the owner of a pet shop, she defended herself by throwing hot water at the thieves, and it worked.🫨

Another family holding their own.

Self-defense cases are on the rise; every day we see a new incident. If there's one thing that needs strengthening in this country, it's security.

Another one from the weekend...

The holidays are approaching, and robberies are on the rise. In the commercial area of Flores, there are a lot of people shopping for Christmas gifts these days, and as always, there are criminals who take advantage of the situation. However, in this case, the person was identified, and they were made very aware that stealing is not okay.🫨
