The lotto scam is definitely not the main reason of the murders and breakdown of this society. It is a big part in the last ten years but the demise of this country began in the mid 80s. A very large part of the murder rate currently is domestic violence. People who came here in the 80s for the first time don't have the knowledge of what this country was like before the scourage af Cocaine and crack showed up. No burgler bars no guns walk anywhere anytime of day or night. So it's much easier to see just how mashed up this country is from that perspective. This isn't rocket science you dont need all kind of news articles and what not to make any point here, just walk the streets and it's very apparent whats going on here.
