Parts of a mutilated body have washed up on the sands of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro just meters from where beach volleyball athletes will compete in the upcoming Olympics.
The discovery is the latest to unnerve the city as it grapples with rising crime, a recession and exhausted state finances at a time when it hoped to be celebrating the first Olympics ever held in South America.
It was unclear Wednesday afternoon what conditions may have led to the mutilated body but a policeman standing guard by a security perimeter confirmed its existence to Reuters.
Oh, I feel so sorry for those people. I believe the Olympics have never paid off the way people think they will. Taxpayers are left with giant white elephants.
And that country probably doesn’t need that now....
Logging off shortly...take care, FRiend. :)
Here’s a current tour of the Olympic site.

Okay, have a good evening. So where in Canada are you?
The deserted Olympic site at Sochi is sad.
PS: The deserted Olympic site at Sochi is sad.
“layers”
Yeah, there’ll be plenty of those!
yeah because Obozo just had to release so many terrorists from Gitmo, what a scumbag he is.... if this guy attacks the blood is on Obama’s hands.....
yes, that is a dirty secret of Olympic games. The atmosphere in the Olympic village is like that of a college dorm, or spring break, or a single’s bar. There’s lots of down time for athletes at the Olympics, so they meet up and do what we are all guessing they do.
“Very sad to see the nation humiliated in this manner, I hope the reports Im hearing are exaggerated.”
I agree. They did a good job with the World Cup in 2014.
Sao Paulo too.
I hope the entire thing fails and the corrupt IOC collapses.
“Its going to be ciaos “
Interesting, and funny typo?
These athletes deserve all the fun. I know quite a few and they have worked harder than in the gulag to get where they are. If they are of age I’m ok with some good times and great memories for them! I hope my guys will be safe down there.
I pray to Gd it is a successful Olympics with no bad things occurring. Just because an entity is corrupt doesn’t mean innocents should be destroyed. Shame on you. We are one of the most corrupt countries on the planet but most of us are good decent people and don’t deserve destruction.
A couple more Rio links:
I was always surprised that Brazil got it in the first place.
This will change the mood when we're watching beach volleyball to look at the bodies.
Dang that aouto correkt.
About what I expected from a Third World country. The Olympic Committee should have known better.
