There are multi layers of problems, on is political criminal mafias, till recently it was not an issue to normal people, as both groups were killing each others known workers.

And also wherever you stuck in traffic jam, there criminal gangs started robbing everyone in cars, again no sign of police at all.

I have my self received a bullet in the days of murder of Hakim Saeed but a few months can change the position. People of Pakistan are great and they take effect early and forgets more early. Hope to see better days.
