USA - has never been great, and never will.....it is a mean, violent, shallow and rather grotesque place....never has it grown up, still living like cowboys...
Any place with the death penalty and no universal health care and Kardashians....Rome all over
Trump is nero.
(and yes I know, they can and do make good stuff, and can be better, but living there - no way when kids are not safe at school)
This beautiful Aussie, made the big mistake of staying Aussie....in a violent crazy place.
She was worried someone was being hurt - call the cops....mistake 1
Trusting USA cops....mistake 2
I have a friend who made similar cultural "mistakes" in London years ago, she and hubbie were there doing academic stuff for a year.
Teens were wrecking neighbours car & trying to steal it, she called police, and she confronted the teens.
Her family were persecuted, eggs, rocks, everything thrown at her & house, threats.....etc until they just packed up and came home - she is very lucky nothing worse happened
‘There was this moment when I think they realized I was there to help and they just started jumping to my lap, I was in bliss!’
