What do we as a society do if civilized behavior breaks down in our big cities?

We do what they do in Brazil: live behind bars or in gated communities, travel in armored cars, have several guard dogs, surround your house with concrete walls with broken glass on top and use electrified wire.

I read about a 30,000 resident gated community/compound in Brazil that required entry by gate and each (non-resident) person entering or leaving was subject to search by the 1,200 private, armed security guards. The residents were mostly (but not exclusively) White...money bought entry.

There are more Blacks in Brazil than any other country outside Africa.

South Africa is that way too.
