This title of this news story is attention grabbing in itself. Generally, the US population does not think of cities where the Olympic games are going to be held as places of violence over drugs and territory. Aren't the Olympic games supposed to represent peace and harmony between the world's countries? Even if it is only for the time being? It is ironic that an Olympic city is going through so many problems, because the committee which picks the location of each games is very particular, making it extremely hard for cities to be chosen.
