Comments for Armed Men Kidnap Globo TV Journalists in Brazil at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:33:05 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7053/1/#pc_17621 It is funny that when it comes to journalists from Globo TV they fear for their lives and are discreet on the reporting of the kidnapping. When it's someone else, they even interview the kidnapper, making him feel like a star and ruining the police's tactics. We've seen a lot on how the media made it hard for negotiators to do their jobs! - Nathy Fri, 17 Oct 2008 05:47:33 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7053/1/#pc_4360 - that SP is one of the most violent city....on this planet ! - Kidnapping is not unusual - SP has the world record of kidnappings, 600 per year ! Yesssss,,,,and the country has also the world recorld. - Quite common that footballers or members of their family, wealthy people are kidnapped. - You even had not so long ago (may be still have) a daily TV LIVE show on kidnappings, tentative of kidnappings, or releasing the hostages ! Thus the 2 kidnappings mentionned in the article is just the daily life....in SP and Brazil ! Why is anyone surprised ? Brazil has many world records, usually not those that one should be proud of ! For example, 50 % of youths deaths (15-24 age) comes from VIOLENT deaths. - ch.c.

Expect to hear strange things happening in Brazil for the next 3 or 4 months, depending if second political round happen, to occur. Unfortunately our politics are delinquent and murders and criminals. Globo and São Paulo? Is news for sure. - bat Sat, 12 Aug 2006 16:26:35 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7053/1/#pc_4358 What makes the US inviting to people of other countries is the relative confidence we have in our police and armed forces. If Brazil could follow the US in organizing it\'s police force so that people of all economic backgrounds had the same rights and protection under the law ( not just in writing), then Brazil would be a wonderful place to live. Security equals happiness. - George Sat, 12 Aug 2006 15:29:33 +0100
