I am not sure what folk are arguing about here.
Of course there are areas in America where anyone with an ounce of sense would not go into unless they had to.
I used to do healthcare in the field and there were areas were my patients would meet me outside their compounds or arranged for an escort for me to get to their homes. They made it very clear that I was never to enter the area on my own. I call them compounds because they were surrounded by fencing and some areas even had barbed wire at the top. They were containment fences, and in some areas the surrounding roads where restructured to control the traffic going into and out of the compound.
Even after months of going and coming into the areas, after the people in the community knew my name, and knew why I was there, I would face the animosity from a resident time and again.
The police are not afraid to go into these areas, they just know what to expect and they are well prepared before entering. The same with paramedics. They don't go into those areas without escorts.
We can sit around and play games with semantics, but at the end of the day, if anyone is being honest, they have to admit that there are areas all over that are "extremely vulnerable" and you stay the hell out, unless you are looking for trouble or have been invited in.

a reply to: Vroomfondel Germans can not criticize their government. One "refugee" from Germany has no job, 3 wives, 23 children and receives $ 400k/yr welfare payments. How long can a nation survive such insanity? ( said hes not home much he likes to travel)
WTF? Source? That cant be right?!
Good golly, I thought our system here was screwed up.

Bild has been described as "notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism" and as having a huge influence on German politicians
The estimated sum of 360 thousand euros per year comes from a German financial manager who posted the figure on the website of the “Association of Employers” as an approximative calculation of what the German state would be paying for the whole family
In other words, Königsstein estimated how much a man with four wives and 23 children might receive in social benefits in Germany, not how much this specific refugee actually received.
A municipality spokesperson told German news service Deutsche Welle that this is not how benefits work in Germany: the country’s laws prohibit polygamy and do not allow someone to receive benefits for multiple families. Rather, Ghazia A. would have to select one wife and her respective children to be eligible for social assistance. However, the rest of his wives could apply for benefits on their own.
