“The advice is meant to keep tourists from provoking robbers into further violence once a robbery is underway, as robberies that end in murder are becoming increasingly common.”
BS; the advice is meant to conceal the crime problem in Brazil. If someone ten yards away from you in a crowd is robbed, the Brazilian government would simply prefer you didn’t know about it. I know people who went to World Youth Day in Brazil, and their impressions weren’t flattering. They were warned in advance of the high crime there (and they weren’t told not to scream).

what a great place for the world cup...one big ghetto
To: rickmichaels
Safety has long been a concern heading into the World Cup, stemming both from the type of violence mentioned in the pamphlet and the demonstrations Brazils biggest in a generation at last years Confederations Cup. During the warmup event, police used tear gas, rubber bullets and percussion grenades as they clashed with protesters in every city that hosted games. So, now that the police are "warmed up" will they be using poison gas, fragmentation grenades and live ammo?

Typical tyranny: If you are attacked by robbers, you have no right to carry a gun to defend yourself. And whatever you do, do not scream, cry or whimper when attacked because this will just remind the robber how pitiful and unworthy of life you actually are.

Brazilian police reportedly have a warning for those visiting for the World Cup this summer: If you are robbed, dont scream. Blow your vuvuzela instead!!!

Brazilian police reportedly warn World Cup 2014 visitors not to scream if robbed Can they give the same instructions to the players when they are bumped by an opponent? Flopping only makes them angry and they'll kick you until you really have something to cry about.
