Kidnapping for ransom is a brazillian national pastime
When I crashed my airplane in Mexico I was held under house arrest for three weeks and all my passengers for a little over a week.
My favorite headline from the Olympics:
Russian ‘diplomat’ drags armed robber into his vehicle and shoots him dead near Rio Olympic venue: Motorcycle thief smashes window of consul staff’s BMW but is killed by martial arts expert
“Is this legal?”
Here is a link to Brazil’s Constition.
You can review to see if it is all legal.

Third world countries suck.
You should NEVER use the words Hillary and Brazilian in the same sentence. Ugh!
You''d have to be an idiot to have anything to do with Brazil. You can plop a people on the richest resources on the planet, but if the people are useless the resources will just sit there either being walked upon or utilized to catch turds. That's Brazil.
I am struggling to understand the Brazilian version - why would they feign being robbed at gunpoint?
Don’t forget the Olympic official who was shot in the head when he made a wrong turn while using a navigator app. Didn’t hear about it? They hushed it up pretty fast.
I do not know either way, however...
Having been to Brasil it's easy to believe a young man and friends might be tempted to visit an "inferno" and lose most of their possessions to the prostitutes working there. That or having brought some new "admirers" back to the dorms, suddenly realizing that their pants were not the only thing they lost.
"E Brasil..." and this is just part of the territory.
I am not sure who is right and who is wrong. Knowing Brasil, and knowing that their police have also participated in the mass extermination of the homeless population that I personally witnessed the aftermath of, it's also very easy to believe the athlete's story.
The security scan reports will be telltale. It would serve the truth if they simply testify and get this over with.
Because it makes a better story than "We got caught in a honey-trap".
So what if they are lying? Hillary Clinton does it all the time, and she is the leading candidate for POTUS.
It's the least he can do. He got his free luxury trip to the Games.
“The Olympics have turned into a cesspool of political correctness, global warming, and anti-Americanism. Its time is over.”
Absolutely!
Just FYI...Rio is one of the most violent cities on earth.
Has the DA from Baltimore gone to Rio??
The only way you could associate Hillary with Free Trade is if it was a trade for Hillary in exchange for nothing.
SOLD!
Would have been more than one robbery if the Olympics had been held in Chicago.
Yes,that's true...I was approached several times by hookers during both of my visits there.However,my experiences (too long to describe here) also indicate that it's *very* possible that they were,in fact,robbed at gunpoint.These accusations could just be a face saving scheme by a Forth World,"I'll Do Anything For A Dollar" politician or prosecutor.
My money's on armed robbery here.
