   The gang mentality they encounter in that inner city is part of the 
'culture' I'm talking about. There are reasons it's here but not in Geneva
or 
St. Moritz.

    I didn't say they were criminals, I said they were an undisciplined

Maybe its because the country itself was born out of rebellion and not all

have. 
SOME of those react to that mindset by stealing.
