It is crazy but very much needed.  If you read the article on yahoo it said that the people, the innocent ones are happy about it.  Could you imagine having to sleep on the floor to avoid being killed by a stray bullet?  Its hard to believe that one area could be so violent however as mentioned when you have that much poverty in one area and no growing economy then you have crime.
