“Brazil is messed up. If you’ve been to Rio, you’ll see the favelas all around you.”
Been there a few times. Last time I was there I stayed on the ipanema side. The copacabana side had too many hookers. Walked out of hotel on the way to dinner and right before our eyes a car races down the street and crashes full speed into a light pole, killing everyone in the car. People were just walking by like nothing had happened.
You need to check some of the videos over at LiveLeak. In one of thsm, during a motorcycle robbery, a cop shoots the robber dead just like that in front of everyone. No one noticed anything, just another day in Brazil, nothing unusual.
