A Russian vice-consul shot and killed a robber who attacked him on Thursday afternoon in Rio de Janiero, according to Brazilian state run news agency Agencia Brasil.
Media reports said the diplomat struggled with the robber during the attempted mugging, before managing to take the assailant's gun and shoot him.
Russian state news agency TASS has published a report completely denying the shooting occurred, quoting Rio's Russian Consul General as saying the diplomat was not involved "in a shootout."

But was he doping?
He really waxed that Brazilian.
lol
Even the russians understand the right to self defense....
Everything is upside down, inside out, we are now in soviet russia....
I wonder if they’ll show the instant replay.
I believe I read that the diplomat was Brazilian, not Russian. Although he worked at the Russian consulate.
So who gets the point, Brazil or Russia?
I guess they could split the point, but this guy is a badass! He evidently pulled the robber into his car, took away his gun and shot him point blank!
This American judge awards the Russian contestant a perfect 10.
The table reverse pegged it.
You don’t win a point for doing it that way.
Yea, that’s a tough move to pull off gracefully, but he did it.
Good shootin’, Tovarisch!
According to the Adelaide Advertiser:
The supposed diplomat was identified by local media as Marcos Cesar Feres Braga, a lawyer reportedly familiar with jujitsu who managed to take the mugger’s gun when the man stuck broke the window of his BMW and tried to rob him.
No Rooskie he!
OK and I AGREE ... according to Google translate, and with the miracle of Google clipboard. Searched on “clipboard” and got a bunch of images of good old clipboards, and this explanation: “The clipboard is virtual. There is no actual application. You just paste it. Copy and paste. That’s all you do with the clipboard.” ... OK! That’s what I thought!
Best answer!
I did know what you had said, but I had to go a translate app to make my reply.
