Comments for 7 Minors Are Massacred and Dismembered in Rio, But Brazil Barely Notices at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 9 out of 9 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Mon, 12 May 2008 17:20:52 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6709 I am an American living in Brazil and working for an NGO. Ijust want you all to know that torture and dismemberment are an everyday occurence in the favela's of Brazil. My maid lives in Complexo de Mare in Rio and she comes to work from time to time and tells me that someone was made an example of in the community. It is also used as a way to keep people in the community in line. Apparently a man in the community had raped his young stepdaughter and she told on him. His punishment was to be hacked to pieces in front of the people from the community. I am sure that noone will be doing that there again anytime soon. But these are not isolated incidents. The police are not in the communities and they only go there to invade- not to keep the peace. They go in with guns blazing and it doesn't matter who is in the street- kids on the way to school, people on their way to work. Innocent people die everyday in crossfore here. I saw the picture two days ago on cover of O Dia of a woman whose brother was killed just this way, she was broken down crying over a car next to his body. I could only feel for her. Americans are guilty of a lot of sins. Indeed we have our own problems with black on black crime. But someone is killing the Brazilians- at a very high rate especially in the city of Rio de Janeiro- and it ain't the Americans. It is the people of Brazil killing eachother. it is the have-nots killing eachother and then when they come down off the hill and start killing the haves - people become all freaked out. Crime is very very very much on the rise on the 'asphalt' these days. Everybody is scared and everybody is talking about it. I had a 20 year old ask me the other day with igdignation why the hell i would want to love here. Peace from the asphalt- Christine - Christine Fri, 02 Feb 2007 18:45:30 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6650 Brazil will rule the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 29 Jan 2007 19:06:32 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6642 It seems the paid private police force is able to accomplish what the 'police' either cant or do not want to. Such butchery seems something of Iraq rather than Brazil. Dismemberment? It is apparently time to exterminate these murderers now by any means. It is of such severity it perhaps demands military intervention, for this is certainly an insurgency. - aesaac Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:08:53 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6640 Here´s an article about Brazil, and you Americans just can´t stay on subject, can you? Ric, that post was obviously made "tongue in cheek", and smart money is on the fact that he is not an american, or from the united states, whatsoever. - bo Sun, 28 Jan 2007 14:19:03 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6636 according to bushwackers post... brazils crime problems is the u.s.a. fault....interesting analysis...good luck brazil as you slide into obscurity as the most backward corrupt crime ridden poverty stricken bastardized country in so. america.... - usa Sun, 28 Jan 2007 04:27:35 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6635 Here´s an article about Brazil, and you Americans just can´t stay on subject, can you? Gotta change the subject and talk about the states. Jay, where did the article mention the states? And stop listening to Rush, who popularized the term "assumed room temperature". Try listening to Michael Savage instead. And tell us what you think about Mocotó, Sassá, and Cheiroso. We´re not afraid of your bunker busters. We don´t use bunkers. Except for that detail, your post has the ring of truth. I´ve heard some Brazilians echo your feelings. So you are not alone. - Ric Sun, 28 Jan 2007 02:25:18 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7824/54/#pc_6634 You people should be like we Americans. We are a first world country. We are the most peaceful Nation on earth as long as you do what we say. If you don't we will give you everlasting peace by dropping some bunker busters on you. We have no crime here. It is the rest of the world who are criminals George Bush is GOD. We are going to take control of the entire world and let it be run by WHITE people GODS people. The others will be our slaves, and we will use the best of their women for boody call purposes.
