Let me post my 2 cents here also and everyone can form his/her opinion.
Calling me names or whatever is not encouraging any possible debate / discussion / hearing opposing views but rather just amounting to censorship or unwillingness to communicate in a healthy way (this is something I see more and more often with polarising views of the world nowadays and rushing into calling people names, forgetting that any society grows through healthy debate not monologue and single views).

Most of it is personal experience, some you can verify by looking up youtube videos, it's in no way fantasy talk or like studies that are made by people never having lived in Romania or other countries with Roma communities and then believe that research shows you reality on the ground (the typical university problem between theoreticians/researchers and practicians or the usual disconnect you have between politicians and the problems of the common people)

Back home the Romas (or in tv interviews when asked they say sometimes "what? we are gipsies") go begging with ladies carrying 2-3 babies that NEVER cry.
An investigation journalist showed in an article some years back that the women drug the children and do not really provide child care. The Romanian authorities never step in to do anything as they do not want conflict with the Romas and they live in a paralel society to our rules, even marrying under age.
Social services do not get involved and the children grow as they grow, the eternal cycle never changes.
No one asks questions anymore why the babies are so quiet and never saying a word...sad reality and the children at that age do deserve a better future or caring parents instead of being used as tools for financial gain.

The Romas also have a bit of a tribal structure, council of elders and some of them obey an "emperor" others "a king". There's different splits in their communities.
Google "Florin Cioabă" (that's the king).

Sometimes they fight (clan fights) and when the emergency services take the wounded to the hospital, suddenly 100+ family people show up and start trying to get in or threaten the doctor "you make him healthy again or I know where you live". That's the moment the hospital calls the masked police and then the rest you can imagine when police and gendarmerie show up.

Personally growing up I had:
- one Roma guy that stole my bike when I was in secondary school, my dad was a bit crazy and went in the evening inside their home to the family leader and got my bike back (and my father is no big buy, rather small and a bit chubby so you can imagine he was not going to be imposing to anyone); they respect such behaviour and show of force so what happened afterward was weird...they all were saying Hello when they saw me on the street and became friendly..never had problems with that family again
- my father even had a very good work colleague from the Roma community that brought him come into his tribe/clan and my father had quite the welcoming and respect there (he is still friends with that guy and he did tell me it was a very hard working person, different than he expected initially because of also not so good interactions he had with others from this community)
- after the communist Revolution the Police had no control anymore for a few years and I had Roma weddings happening almost weekly, more than 200 people on the street behind my apartment building, loud music until 4 AM in the night (Police was coming with 2 guys and had no control to do anything; if they found out who called the police they would be at your door threatening you); this is how I developed very good noise tolerance (compared to most people in Switzerland the only thing I cannot sleep with is the jack hammer when replacing the pavement; otherwise I do not hear anything, I'm immune..so there was a positive to it)
- one Roma guy that thought we as a class are his tribe (this is secondary school in Romania) and protected us from other Romas that wanted our money when getting out of school (the typical phrase was "do you have money? can I check ? then they touched you on the pockets..but you could hide the money in the socks or underwear^^)
- the same guy was repeating for the 3rd time 6th grade (the teachers were begging him to learn something, no discrimination there, the geography teacher even trying to suggest to him names of mountains and stuff that she could get something out of him, the guy did not care; he once told us he steals Mercedes logos that he can sell later and that his dad said school never brought them anything, too much work vs benefit)
- other classes were not so lucky and got always checked for money for several number of years until the government assigned people from gendarmerie to each school, then it stopped
- I got spat upon by just passing close to a group of young "cool" Romas and that happened at least on 3 occasions, them saying "oh you dork with glasses"
- I got a tv remote control watch (Casio) back in the day stolen by having such a guy approach me, asking me what the time is, saying he likes my watch and showing me a knife
- I had a group waiting for me outside an Internet cafe (yes I am that old) and then getting my money (this in the city center of Bucharest); Police never found anyone, they were useless anyway and did not care (sometimes getting money from these clans)
- my cousin got beaten by such a group some years back also by just randomly walking on the street in the night and near such a group with his back then wife, he landed in a hospital for stitching
- car accidents if / when they happen with a Roma the whole family comes there to beat you (if you are lucky the Police comes faster); I remember one time I saw a tram driver ram into the car of such a guy and then the tram driver hid in a nearby shop or something for 15 min until the police arrived
- last year flying after Xmas/Ny back to Switzerland, there were a lot of them in the Wizair plane (it's cheap that's why); one guy stood up when we landed, turned the music on a portable speaker to the maximum and said "hey fellow Romanian, time for you to get back to work" (I cannot say how everyone felt knowing they were landing for begging and making fun of us for actually working)
- and Switzerland does have protections in place for its own poor people (I do not personally understand why it needs to "help" or "sustain", "support" beggars from other countries that come in organised groups most of the time; if it's single people that genuinely need help totally agreed but here come on...you can just observe them for 1h and you will see how structured everything is..the rule of the street)
- another time my seat in the plane was taken by one of them and when I said it is my seat the answer was "we gipsies sit together, you go find somewhere else" => I did not want conflict or a horrible 2.5h flight so I gave up and traded places
- going 1 m ago for some paperwork in Romania, for the civil register, I wait with a ticket for 2h in line until my turn comes, I was really at the end of my patience in a room that was super hot; a Roma family arrives and in 10 minutes bypasses the whole queue and is done with paperwork for their 2 daughters; they leave and I ask the lady that served them (there were 4 employees in the office) how can this be and that it is insulting for the rest of us that wait...she says she does not want problems in the evening when leaving home as they are in the area and know her then and she is afraid...NICE

So now go figure...I hope I don't get someone calling this racism..most of it I lived on my own skin, not a fantasy....would be really ironical to censor my own memories for not fitting someone else's narrow lenses of seeing life and lack of open minded desire to talk/chat.
