Sounds as if you are having a terrible time Jane - but don't make the mistake of thinking that what you are seeing is the whole picture, and that the rest of society has gone to hell. It's just not true.

As you say "the majority of people everywhere are good", and that's true, and in most places that's reflected in the fact that they are decent places to live, and people treat each other OK most of the time.

That's probably no comfort at all. But there are reasons why some places go bad, even if they aren't always too easy to see. And it's not because the laws there are different from the laws in other places, and that if they were tightened up the problems would be solved.

It isn't so much that bad people make bad places, it's more the other way round. And maybe the horrible thing that happened on Tuesday is one more extreme example of that.
