Well, not around my house. My grandparents from my fathers side live
just outside Hunedoara, maybe 5-6km. The gypsies would come and search
for steel after everything got closed in the mid 90's to early 00's. Hunedoara,
the city and also the county itself is well known for its steel production
capabilities during communism era. So, since everything in the area was
rusty, the gypsies would live from that stolen steel and also get food and
stuff from the fields and houses close to the factories. Since Romania
entered the EU in 2007, now they are OUR problem. These are the Romanians
that you hear on the news in the West. Most of them don't even speak
Romanian, but they are Romanians
My mom still works in the steel production industry here. She worked in the
same place for almost 33 years, getting payed 200 Euros in average over
the last years.
Why shoot bears for fun? Because they can't shoot back at you
...and
anyone who could make laws against it or give you prison years is also
corrupt and in their circles get to do the same kind of shooting. Over here,
enough politicians get away with proof that they stole hundreds of millions
of euros each, and the judges give them 2 years in prison with suspension.
There was an old lady here that got 3 years of prison for stealing a loaf of
bread. With execution. She was 81 years old
