As an European I'm quite shocked to see weirdness out in the open of Brownsville streets. I'm not going to pretend there's no poverty or prostitution over here but people can get more help and have a safe place to make money with their bodies.

Is good to occasionally remember the past. We should never forget the atrocities of war!
