They did not WALK.
They left on a bike.

I beg to disagree. All the people I know who live or lived in Barcelona had their bike stolen, and this is funny, by AMBULANCES. Thats right, ambulances steal bikes, they stop, pick the bike and go. Theres no much more robbery in BsAs than in Barcelona, be sure of that. What BsAs has more is probably this "gunpoint" robberies, practically non existant in Barna, but armed robberies arent that common in BsAs either, so...

I agree with you completely, except for the last point, that armed robberies would be not be common in BsArs. In Barcelona happens much more "tirones" than here but they're usually much less violent than here.

Seems he was also arrested in 1999 for armed robbery and got 8 years. I wonder what the re-offending rate is here.

BsAs is not safer than Europe, of course not, but we are not that far.
BsAs is the safer of big cities in Latin America, by big cities I mean Mexico, Sao Paulo, etc

The kind of robbery more common here is pcikpocketing, not violent robberies.
If you re going to use the US government as a source we re lost.

Matias no matter what statistics are in other countries in the Area the insecurity here has increased tremendously, who cares about other countries. The entraderas salideras and violent crimes against seniors many times resulting in deaths!!
Who gives a rat's ass about statistics
