I have a problem with those killings
I lived in Rio Sau Paulo and Belo some in the 80s
And I helped feed some of those gaminas
Ice cream.....my wife’s idea.....100s of them
My ex is a Carioca as are my girls even though they live in Nashvegas with me
What happened in Rio back then with death squads murdering problem street children by the 100s to quell street crime was inexcusable
Period
And it was done by dirty cops some more of whom I’d hired
My ex father in law was a political boss and a bicho gangster...big time...he and I were close but he and others told the killers they better find another way quick besides wholesale murder of kids as young as 5....
And he was hard...killed many a man and held captive in the dirty war period by the Montonero.....deliberate burn scars all over him
He would sure kill you if you wanted to play hardball and yes we all recognized street crime was an issue but exterminating orphaned children was just wrong
Man I recall one pic of their bound dirty little bodies with bullet holes in their heads or little backs....how dirty their feet were and skin and bones and one tiny little dead kid where the older boy was trying to shield him from the executioners ...their little brains splattered everywhere and dozens of bodies left by the track in a dirty industrial sector of old Rio
I’ve boys from 8-16 ....just spent the weekend in Mississipi with the youngest and my oldest daughter ...who is Carioca by blood as I said....
He’s a joy to all of us.....a real gift at my old age
And way to young to be summarily executed for anything
I agree it is inexcusable. Culturally, there is plenty of blame to go around, including the Catholic church. There is a strong need for 200 years of social advance to be made. A situation where children are recklessly made, then abandoned, is just revolting.
