Didn't the FBI recently arrest over 120 mafia criminals in New York alone?
In my opinion, mafias are no worse than a lot of governments. The only difference is that governments make the rules so they get away with it.
I agree though the world can be a messed up place, however you have to realize there are way more good people on this planet than bad people. There will always be crime and shocking videos like you saw going on around the world.. It's been like that ever since humans roamed the earth (not the videos of course). I find it best to just ignore those people though, and think positively.
The media and internet don't really help the situation much, they tend to just strike fear into peoples minds in order to get good sales.
If anything, things are better these days. When there wasn't anybody to enforce any real laws hundreds of years ago, crime would have been a regular occurrence everywhere, more so than it is today.
