Doesn't seem to be too much sympathy around for these people.

Evidently, the recent killings in Bratislava involved Roma gypsies and I've yet to come across anyone we know from that part of the world who's done anything other than shrug their shoulders whilst stating something like "well these people are troublemakers..."
Are these people so disliked because they're troublemakers or are they troublemakers because they're so disliked?...

Just to add - the wife's just told me that she was chatting about this awful tragedy yesterday to a friend who's over here from Bratislava for a few weeks. She too didn't seem to have one iota of sympathy for those concerned and confirmed that was the general view amongst her friends and family....
If this is a true reflection of the depth of feeling of many of the local population perhaps it's no wonder that these gypsies turn up in other countries.
