In the favelas it is cool as long as the gangs not in war with the police or another gang. But in the favela we have laws..no rapping, no killing, no robbing....so I feel safer there..but outside the favelas the guy befoer say is corret that if somebody rob you it is becase they need eat or support ther family. I am not say this is right way to live, but I am not starving like some people are. They just want to get something but you are right they will not hurt you if you give them what you want. They do not rob for fun like some people in other country do.
