> Its not like that actually. If you could read Italian you would understand that the area is extremely dangerous, anythnig can happen at any time. People get shot just by tresspassing, the people living in the area are desperate and the police does not care (probably bribed?). There are many corps found along syringes and so forth.
While it's obvious that the area is dangerous, where did you read that "People get shot just by trespassing"? Or, that "the police does not care (probably bribed?)"? Police in Rome is really on a budget (like almost everything in Italy). I wouldn't be surprised there was a single patrol at night that's assigned with that whole area (actually, I wouldn't be surprised the area assigned was much larger than that).
Edit: Procuratorate was (in 2003) not willing to investigate further after 150 arrests in 6 months. That's where you might suspect bribery.
From the page: "Parziale e incompleta mappa interattiva di ciò che ha prodotto al Pigneto il narcotraffico e l'inerzia degli amministratori. La testimonianza della loro vergogna e della nostra quotidiana umiliazione. Ma anche della nostra resistenza. Scriveteci per correzioni, segnalazioni e commenti."
Literally:
"Incomplete interactive map of what drug trafficking and inertia by the city administration has produced. A witness of what they should be ashamed of, and what is humiliating us daily, but also of our resistance. Write us for corrections, reports and comments."
What follows is a list of 'interesting' places. There are two death places in the map, one is labeled "Luogo di consumo e morte" = "Place of [drug] use and death", the other "Vittima del conflitto - nordafricano sgozzato alle otto di sera" = "Victim of the fight - [a] North African [illegal alien] slaughtered at eight pm" http://www.ilmessaggero.it/ROMA/CRONACA/pigneto_nordafricano...
