Ever hear of Capoera? I probably don't have the spelling right but it's a type of Brazilian Martial Arts. But I have to applaud the reaction by the people upon hearing what she had done. If it had been in America, some Psychiatrist would have been on the T.V. immediately taking up for and giving reasons why she wasn't responsible.

I had never heard of Capoera. I just assumed this guy was probably a good soccer player (lots of those in Brazil). He did give her quite a shot.

Group stomps man, 39, to death

FORT WORTH - A group of men in a "mob mentality" stomped a 39-year-old homeless man to death Wednesday night as onlookers stood by refusing to help the defenseless victim, police said.

"This is not your typical homicide," Sgt. Dave Stamp said. "It's sad that apparently there were people there who could have intervened and chose not to. Hopefully our investigation will determine why."

No arrests had been made by Thursday night.

The incident occurred about 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Ripley Arnold apartment complex after the victim got into an argument with one man and was attacked by several others, Stamp said.
