Politics In Brazil

Brazil is where they play Football. They have a big Carnival celebration in Rio de Janeiro as well. Their new [ since 1 January 2019 ] president is Jair Bolsonaro, a rather sound sort of chap. He is going to legalise guns to discourage criminals. He knows that the Armed Citizen is the way to go. The left hate him; always a good sign.

Lynch Law Enjoys A Revival In Brazil  [ 20 July 2015 ]
It is quick cheap, effective, sending a message to would be perpetrators. Hanging is not the favoured option; beating is the way to go - and healthy exercise to boot. It is a change from Brazilian police taking street children away and shooting them. See e.g. Street kids murdered to clean up Brazil ahead of the world cup. It worked. Lawyers don't like it; there is no money in it for them.

 

Parts Of France Are Now 'Unliveable' Due To Migrants Says Brazil's 'Tropical Trump' President - Allegedly      [ 20 December 2018 ]
Politician tells truth - shock revelation. The Daily Mail makes its allegation. The Mail is lying; at all events their video clip does not match with their words. This is not to say that Jair Bolsonaro would not have said it. Telling the truth is possible. Mr Bolsonaro is a sound sort of chap. That is why the Mail & the rest of the Main Stream Media hate him. See the comments. The Mail's  readers are not stupid enough to believe it.

 

President Of Brazil Making Guns Legal For All  [ 30 December 2018 ]
QUOTE
Brazil's [ allegedly ] far-right President-elect says that on taking office he will allow citizens without a criminal record to own guns. Jair Bolsonaro, who takes office in January, made the statement on Twitter as part of his election campaign to loosen gun laws.  The ex-army captain's message appealed to many Brazilians who want to use guns for self-defense amid sky-high levels of violent crime.  Currently possession of firearms is tightly restricted in Brazil. Civilians must pass through a long process, and the sale of weapons is limited to small calibers.

However gun violence is a problem in Brazil and in 2017, the country set a record for murders with more than 63,000 people killed...........

Bolsonaro won the election crusading against corruption and crime. But the incoming president also faced scrutiny for his comments about women, homosexuals, and minorities, as well as statements praising the former Brazilian dictatorship.  Among Bolsinaro's controversial comments that grew scrutiny during the campaign are times he said he would prefer a dead son to a homosexual one.

Jair Bolsonaro is clearly for the people. The Armed Citizen makes a place safer merely by existing. He makes live criminals nervous. Dead criminals do not do it again.

Brazilian police shot dead at least 13 suspected drug traffickers on Friday during a shootout in a slum in Rio de Janeiro. 

The confrontation broke out when officers were greeted by gunfire as they approached where the group were hiding in the bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa, according to police spokesman Col. Mauro Fliess. The cops returned fire, killing 11 at the scene and injuring several others. Police said later Friday that the death toll had increased to 13 after two wounded suspects died in the hospital.

He said that no police were hurt.
UNQUOTE
This is where Carnival happens but the security is serious. The Mail's readers approve. The Mainstream Media whined about their new head man, Colonel Bolsonaro. He is a rather sound sort of chap.
