T...Downhill is the more likely option, I'd bet. The situation is somewhat similar, in a bit milder scale, in my country, and I don't think it will change here in the near future either. Too many people thoroughly brainwashed, starting with the communist propaganda we were fed in schools when I was a kid. <br /><br />I'm kind of basing what hope I have on the internet, and perhaps in the future enough people starting to look for the information there instead of being content what is told by the official channels like newspapers. But even then it might take until a new generation gets into power. The one having the power now, mine, is mostly a lost cause, at least the so called 'elite' part.<br /><br />Disgusting as the thought is, right now things might very well go easier on the victim if the attacker ends up dead, even though then the victim will almost certainly end up in jail. But the actual time people who are convicted for things like murder actually spend in jail here aren't necessarily all that long, and presumably the conviction might well be for something less severe. But if the attacker survives, but is injured, you will probably end up paying him a lot (and might go to jail anyway), and there is no way to make sure he won't do something to you again, in revenge, at some later time (short jail times, remember). So as long as the victim doesn't accidentally off a member of one of those groups, like our Roma, who have codes for revenge...Marjanoreply@blogger.com
