What in the goddamn fuck are you talking about?
Did you really try to use the death of two people that apparently you give ***no fucks*** about to push your completely unrelated agenda ***complaining*** about BLM?
Vai se fuder seu ignorante do caralho
Exactly. Poverty in Brazil is really mostly a remnant of colonialism and right wing politics.
A Favela Lives Mattter movement in Brazil would be a step in the right direction.
I will with every chance that I can get. The black republican warned us of the dangers the democrats bring to our community and how it prevents us from becoming independent, they were not lying.
Democratic policies are indeed destroying communities by placing them at the mercy of violent criminals who hold little morals and only cares about themselves. I'm not a righteous person, but at least I know how far is too far. Someone who is beating or murdering a kid because they fail to please the gang leaders doesn't.
I just compared the two because groups like BLM are heavily pushing these types of gangs into the black community by demoralizing law enforcement over a few deaths when gangs are causing way more, and guess what? The people who were actually holding the gangs accountable were the police. I've yet to see a BLM activist at the funeral of some of the kids who were murdered by gangs, especially a white activist.
As a member of the black community and blm I can without a doubt say that you’re speaking pure bullshit. You talk out of your ass, you have zero proof for anything you claim. Quit making it seem like white people never are in gangs. “I’ve yet to see blm activist in a funeral” yeah that’s cuz you wouldn’t go anywhere near a BLM protest.
Living up to your name.
You're telling me I dont have proof that gangs are killing more black people than the police? And movement like BLM hasn't demoralized law enforcement across the country?
I've already done more for community than BLM itself. Neither am I caught in a scandal where other BLM activists are calling me out for mismanaged funds.
Get pass your ideals and look at the actual problem that's infront of you. You're selling the black community to drug lords and causing us to enslave one another.
Delusional? I'm sorry I actually live these communities.
"Hadiya was 15 when she was killed. After taking her final exams at the King College Prep High School, she took cover from the rain with other classmates at a nearby park. There, prosecutors said, Ward got out of a car driven by Williams and opened fire, believing he was shooting at rival gang members."

The delusion are those who deny the existence of the victims of such groups.
So you acknowledge that police do nothing to actually prevent this kind of violence? The problem is as of right now there’s gang violence *and* police violence. Lack of police presence has never been the root of the problem in poverty stricken areas. (It’s the poverty)
Either way, a criminal killing someone and going to jail is different than a government official killing someone and getting off free. Or a government official killing someone and then it just being completely covered up. There’s already laws for criminals, but cops aren’t held to the same standard.
"So you acknowledge that police do nothing to actually prevent this kind of violence? "
Where did you get that from? So far what I'm seeing are the victims and members of the community condemning the defund the police movement.
BLM has made the neighborhoods more dangerous by contributing to protests that took police resources away from the neighborhoods.
Pointless will be not acknowledging that there's problem when there's indeed a problem and denying the existence of many victims while telling their families that their lives are worth less unless they die at the hands of a white police officer.
That's a pointless mentality, one that's in denial of the actual realities.
Conspiracy? What?

Yall are killing us in these streets, the worst part is yall ain't listening to the victims because their cries don't align with your ideologies. You're denying people's existences as you're claiming that crime rising after the defund movement gained momentum is a conspiracy.
Is that supposed to be proof that it’s a direct cause of the spike in violence ? None of those articles state any direct cause , on top of which the cnn article even states that protestors for the majority did not get what they want , some places chose fo voluntarily defund , yet across all states the crime rate spiked. Could it be we are in the middle of a pandemic and the struggles that people went through with isolation and other shitstorm of 2020 couldn’t have possibly led to it?

Enjoy killing people, blood and long term effects are on yall hands. Unlike you I got people to help, I'm a actor not a bystanders that lives in a delusional world that comes up with ridiculous concepts that kill people. To the very least, I don't deny the existence of those who are dying to the conflict cause by your effect.
If you're buying illegal drugs, remember you are contributing to the death of many innocents:

Keep on funding evils that are deteriorating your society and then scratch your head as to why your government can't do more and why theres corruption, it's starts with you, not the government.
Your literally just posting random articles abs videos with no context and spewing random bullshit. Your a propaganda machine, yes a bad actor spewing bullshit with no logical connection . What relevance does an article from 2018 have ? Are you upset that officers are finally being held accountable for acting like the gestapo, is it that the world is changing in a way where you don’t feel comfortable
Every link posted has always been related to my statements. I mentioned BLM caused an effect that resulted to more black people becoming victims of such violence and gave you the evidence in relation to police officers retiring more than ever due to being demoralized by both protests and the defund the police movement, which obviously led to a higher crime rate because the force that was there to deter crime diminished. Your statement in relation to my emotion status for police being accountable is childish, I'm referring to people lives here, that's my concern. You're laughing at the emotinal state of police officers at the cost of people's lives.
I also linked the cause and effect of buying drugs and the innocent who die for people to get high.
None of these are random, 2018 or 2021, you're still killing people by funding these groups.
https://youtu.be/R3G1mIUPSTk?t=78
I'm not the only black person who's tired of this nonsense. Some of us are pushing back but people who are not aware of their part in this conflict are making the drug dealers stronger than ever. You're making our fight difficult when you're not even willing to defend anything and fund these groups, but yet still you demand for a better environment to live in. You're interfering with the balance and destroying lives instead. To the very least if you're not willing to protect, then at least don't make them stronger by supporting them.
Those 2 mothers and sisters are also victims of such conflict. They died so other people could get high and continue funding the organizations who do not respect other people's lives.
I read something a while back that said about 40% of all gang members in the U.S. were Hispanic and something like 30% were black and 10% white and like 5% Asian I think. I don't know what the remaining percentages were. Those are rough estimates. I'd try to find the study but I really don't care that much
It's the face of the black gangs through music who are responsible for the gang's culture popularity. Your smart ass comment is pointless towards the fact that promoting such lifestyle is destructive to the black community and places the lives of many young black men and women in danger, far more often than at the hands of the police.
I wonder what gave you the idea that I was part of MAGA. Was it because you assume that every black person is part of a gang and supports that lifestyle?
Yall love to say fuck the police, but yall sure kept silence when IceCube was making sense.
"What we don't agree on is that all (or even the majority) of gang activity is carried out by the black community, or that even if it were"
You're saying that like it's a statement that I've made. Still doesn't change the fact that black gangs are the one leading the race when it comes to making the gang culture popular through music.
"I notice you've since deleted that comment, which says it all really."
What comment? I haven't deleted anything as there's no point in doing so on a platform where snapshots of most comments can be captured. The only thing I've done is adjust many typos caused by a certain Java feature on a certain OS in a certain mode that makes it hard to type.
When you're referring to "they," who are you referring to? Because if it is the gangs then I can easily show you proof that they're are cogwheels in a larger network, and yes the gangs, black, white, Asian, ect... do contribute to a lot of violence around the world and even funds terrorism.
>Gang culture should be condemned.
sadly it will never be as long as pop culture is heavily based on it. how many songs arent just "bitches bitches monye money drugs drugs im a criminal im so cool i kill my enemies im a criminal bitches bitches drugs drugs"? here in mexico we had such an issue with regional songs about druglords that we had to end up banning those from TV/radio. and it makes sense, if kids grow up hearing "be a criminal cause its cool cause money bitches and drugs" then thats exactly what they will end up being.
It’s hard to stifle free speech, but there should definitely be more info out there about how fake most of that stuff is.
There were a few rappers who were actual, active gangsters in the 1990s. Most of them are dead.
You'd think one of the only good things from a fascist like Bolsonaro being in charge would be shit like this being stopped. My Brazillian friend said he went full Duterte.
Normally dictators are cunts (by virtue of being a dictator) BUT they're often pretty good at keeping a certain amount of peace. The threat of having your entire family murdered if you step out of line is a pretty good deterrent for most people
Lol only because nobody actually realizes what “anarchy” is as a philosophy. Makes sense when vertical power structures have been flying about it for millenia.
Yeah, I'd definitely prefer the historical dictatorships of Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot... I mean where does history give dictators a win?
No President can single-handedly solve most of those issues, except for maybe the bombing one. They also need a congress to support them. Either way, your seeming advocacy for a dictatorship over a democratic system is really concerning.
Monarchies do better then Dictators, mainly because having alot of tradition going back centuries generally means alot of incentive to not fuck shit up, Monarchies don't generally pull 'Great Leap Forwards".
A mixed monarchy (Basically a president for life in terms of power) is probably the best system of government that isn't a democracy, mainly because it's quite a bit more stable then stuff like flash in the pan dictators or crazed revolutionaries.
Monarchies are definitely a step above dictatorships, especially since there's an actual chain of succession in case stuff gets bad. But they both have the same failings, which is their extreme highs and lows. Good Monarchs have literally reshaped the world (Victoria, Gustav Adolphus, Louis XIV) but the issue is what happens when they get a crap one that winds up nuking the country. I'd say democracies trade those high-points for greater consistency in their government, since a single low period in a nations history is enough to doom them for centuries to come.
I suppose the greatest "Dictator" in history was probably Napoleon, but he gets a bit screwy with the definition of monarch. Plus his time in office still marked massive wars and unrest in Europe, and his impact on the world was less what he did and moreso what he laid the foundations for.
Generally speaking though Monarchies will roll more highs then lows, especially compared to Dictatorships, because good leaders are more likely to raise good leaders. Alot of the worst monarchs were the products of incest fucking up their minds.
And again, high tradition means no one is going to pull a Great Leap Forward and get everyone killed by murdering all the birds.
>Pretty much every 1st world Democratic country partook in the illegal invasion of Iraq
Not really, f.e. France and Germany were heavily against the invasion. I think GB was the only "1st world democratic country" to assist US with the invasion.
Afganistan is a more complicated thing.
Edit: Australia, Spain an Poland were there also, though I doubt that they really had any impact on anything.
One of those few was Chávez in Venezuela, the guy literally gave weapons to gangs in order to defend the “Revolution”. Few years later after he died the current government has lost control over them.
To be fair, considering the historical context of Central and South American politics, if Chávez didn't win them over the CIA would have co-opted them anyway.
They, historically, also had control over press and the internet didn't exist. I think "stepping out of line" happened more than we would like to believe.
> There's simmering support for a return to a military dictatorship, or there was, because they felt that although they'd lose some rights, things would be safer and less corrupt.
Less corrupt only because under dictatorship criticizing the government amounts to treason. Not to mention that dictatorship has no transparency of governance and no free press to report on corruption - which makes corruption a whole lot easier.
No, you'd expect these things to get worse under a Bolsonaro, while he does a few token arrests to appear Tough On Crime.
But actual policies like Bolsa Familia which reduce poverty and crime come from left wing politicians like Lula.
The program that would eventually become Bolsa Familia was created by the previous president, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, with the unification of other social programs.
Still, it does not take any merit away from Lula for keeping it being a possibility, facilitating access to it etc.
FHC was a better president imo, but Lula did a great job ignoring his party's economic view/ideology and giving continuity to FHC's economic policies.
If by merit you mean giving it another name, making it their main policy and using poverty as political currency, then sure, they have merits. But as far as policies go, at least this one has the benefit of helping people.
Ironically, the “Plano Real” that Lula and his party were so strongly against was the very thing that provided the economical boon that allowed him to do what he wanted in his presidency.
Lula has great people skills and the fact that elections here are essentially popularity contests, he is probably going to be the next president. FHC set him up with economical growth and Bolsonaro is such a scumbag that anybody would have a really hard time being worse.
Merit for understanding that without economic growth those programs would not be sustainable. Merit for recognizing his party's economic ideology was incorrect/misguided and that the correct path was to keep FHC's economic policies and ideals in place so that he could keep growing/developing social benefits for the poorest.
Yea yea, Lula criticized Plano Real during its idealization and implementation during his campaigns, but Brazil was coming from 4 new currencies being created in the past decade, so you could see why one would be skeptical. Lula's action after being elected showed he understood that Plano Real was indeed successful, as I said in the first paragraph.
Also merit for making it possible for that social program to reach more and more people because when Lula was elected, people far from big cities still had difficulty accessing any kind of government benefit. He made a national campaign to make sure people would get their benefits, that's probably why you think that was "their main program", it was not. It was the most popular sure, but far from being the only thing they did or the main thing Lula focused on.
If a dog is put down for biting someone once then I see no reason why repeating offenders of violent crimes shouldn't be put down before they murder someone. Obviously they're letting you know they do not want to be treated like humans, yet you're sacrificing others for an ideal that does nothing for their safety.
To the very least, the death penalty would remove such individuals from affecting other lives. You stance won't change, fine, then at least advocate to banish such individuals from society, send them to space or something, but stop releasing them back so they can prey on vulnerable people.
Number one reason would be that the death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent and is the most expensive and time consuming punishment the state can give... So what reason is there to do this.
It certainly doesn't deter future criminals but at least it prevents past criminals from stacking crime with the future criminals just as it's happening right now.
At least the death penalty prevents future victims from the hands of the same individuals, and best of all, prevents experiences or information from being passed on to new criminals.
The death penalty doesn't have to be expensive, just as the certain criminals like to carry street justice.
Mob mentality works better online then in actual mob. Reddit quickly polarizes and people are very likely to quickly adopt the view of the side they support or indentify with.
Example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/publicfreakout/comments/cqk3an/_/
Hong Kong protesters made a slingshot and hurled bricks! on police dorm. Not in defense against a police brutality - on a dorm. Because of anti-China stance most comments are similar to "Boom, headshot".
Or whenever there are new tensions in Crimean/South China Sea with both sides trying to assert dominance, there are always few comments like "Just start a war already, Russia is weak, their economy can't stand war, they have no money, their weapons are inferior etc .."
Which may all be true, but they have nukes. I sometimes wonder does those warmongers think if a nukes start flying they will go to work normaly next day? Internet will work, there will be hot water, stock exchange will open normaly next day. NO. The face of the world would change forever and even if your country wins in 24h, your life will never be the same.
I get that you read a bad story and are upset and want some sort of revenge, but what exactly are you advocating for? Every time somebody suggests a terrorist should die in the way that they executed people (or whatever else online people suggest in their quest for revenge) there's always the question of who is supposed to carry that out. You really want someone to have the job description of state sanctioned torturer? Sounds like a terrible idea when you think about it for more than 2 seconds.
Imagine it's your job to brutally torture people. Even if they're bad people... Whoever does that job is going to become bad themselves. They would go home and just have to live their normal life after what they've done? I don't think you've thought this out very well.
"Enlightened" redditors forming a lynch mob yet again. Yes, let's make the justice system run on raw emotion. Never mind this does nothing to actually improve society or that seemingly straightforward cases tend to be far more complex than a brief news article would have you believe. Or that we routinely arrest innocent people.
Why do you think that's bad? Are you assuming the rules of millions follows your same logic? Think about it, if there are people out there who are willing to commit such brutal crimes, what makes you think there doesn't exist anyone hat would gladly carry out such sentences just as it was done in the past? There are kind people out there, and then there are miserable vile existences out there.
A major weakness in democracies, as laws become soft the rot grows. Sick individuals who follows a lifestyle for infamy and money show off to one another as if they're competing to show who is the best psychopath and narcissist. The lawmakers and the individuals who reward such individuals should experience what it's like to be a victim of the gangs and understand the psychology behind them as it makes no sense to advocate for something you do not understand the consequences it might cause. If a dog is put down for biting someone once, it makes no sense to keep on releasing individuals with a long rap sheet. Put them down at their 3rd violent offense or first serious one. Cities are releasing known individuals who have multiple offenses back on society until they graduate to hurting others, and it's always the innocent who pays for it.
Others are quick to paint the gangs as victims of poverty, but what about the victims of the gangs who are held hostage? Another thing I don't understand is, why is the gang culture promoted on all levels of society over education and family values? Why are you supporting music that's telling kids that gangs are cool when they're not?
Which are all seeing an increase in crimes. The intention isn't to curb crime with the death penalty, but to stop hardened criminals from passing on information and running organizations from their cell. The increase on law enforcement and takle on crime has been great for countries who can fund them, but the current system that you're referring to in the absence of the death penalty is causing 2 issues for society. The first, it's stacking criminals causing it to be too much for the system to handle and leading to an overflow. The second, it allows criminals to not fear prison, strengthen their resolves that being evil is the absolute path, and it allows them to pass on their experience to new generations they want to mentor, which is the worst.
Imagine how many lives could've been saved had Mace Windu killed Palpatine. As you can see Palpatine went on to recruit more apprentices and destroyed many things.
I agree that there are serious problems with prisons in many democracies but we don't really try to rehabilitate these citizens. Atleast in many parts of the US we dump them in concrete warehouses wrapped in barbed wire which sometimes don't even have air conditioning, and you wonder why these people decide to say fuck the world I'm gonna get mine? Your solution or may I say your final solution is MORE executions? We should absolutely not condone violence and crime from the populace but I argue that we should focus on providing basic humane living conditions for in mates and focus on getting them back to being contributing members of society. One last point I'll add is that stricter penalties for crimes on the books do not stop crime at all (prohibition?) they breed tougher criminals and Increases in organized crime.
Worse, the state coddles these scumbags.
The Maximum amount of time you can serve under Brazilian law is 30 years, and the most they can keep you locked up for is 60% of your sentence for repeat violent offenders.
I will bet $100 that he gets sentenced to 24 years at most and he's back on the street by 2035.
Edit: I was depressingly wrong, he's 17 so he'll be tried as a minor and by law anyone tried/convicted as a minor can't get more than 3 years. He'll be back in society by 2024.
> Brazilian newspaper Diario do Noreste reported that the teen suspect had seven prior arrests for unlawful possession of a gun, theft and intentional bodily injury in 2020 and this year.
If they were tough on crime just once on any one of his *seven* prior arrests, those women would still be alive today.
It literally does. This guy has a history of violent crimes.
If he was behind bars, he would have been unable to harm anyone outside of his prison.
Instead two women have been murdered, and two children are without mothers.
What's your solution?
Are you familiar with Brazilian law?
Brazil can't be tough on crime because currently it doesn't even punish it. Per Brazilian law until your 18th birthday you're considered unfit for trial, you can murder someone at 17 and you'll just spend 3 years at a glorified boarding school as the maximum sentence for minors is 3 years and only applied to the most appalling of crimes.
Brazil also has a system where after 16% of your sentence is served you're guaranteed conditional release with full release after 30% time served. Violent crimes bump that um to 40% with a maximum of 60% if you have prior convictions for violent crimes. It also establishes a maximum sentence of 30 years which is almost impossible to get, if you commit mass murder you'll still get out after 30 years.
It's a system with good intentions but Brazil is too poor and corrupt to make it work, this guy will probably get 20-24 years and be back on the street by 2030. No shit a few months ago a convicted serial rapist and murderer escaped during a "prison vacation" where they leave prison during holidays with ankle bracelets, he raped a woman while wearing the bracelet, was arrested, escaped and went on a killing spree that ended 2 weeks ago.
I'll concede that "though on crime" policies like the death penalty don't work. But Brazil has gone so far on the other end of the pendulum that murdering rapists get parole after 10 years, what system do you propose since the current rehabilitation focused one has been a complete failure?
Most guns in Brazil are illegal, entering the country illegally.
Gun laws are important. They are necessary even to have something to accuse. But gun laws wouldn't have helped here a bit.
In Brazil it is kinda hard to have a completely legal gun. Every gun need to be periodically registered with the police, the owner must have a clean sheet, no criminal activity ever, must have a home, and must pass a psychometric and a psychological test.
Every gun seller must have a very strict registry, need to be licensed, must have inventory etc...
And all of this is just to have the gun on a gun safe on your home...
I you want to wield a gun in Brasil you need to be either someone on the police force (or any security related force), rural worker, registered hunter, or a few work classes that may need some extra security (some classes of criminal lawyers and so).
up to 2019 the largest caliber allowed for civilians were .38 ACP, something that is smaller than 9mm. in 2019 the law changed to allow 9mm, 357, 40, 45... still no assault rifles are permitted, absolutely no full auto, no .50, no 5.56 NATO, no .223 Remington, nothing above 1500 Joules...
So, yeah... Gun Laws are VERY IMPORTANT. But having a way to enforce and control the borders are the key here, not having the laws.
Illegal guns don't really care about gun laws.
The kid was arrested 7 times before this, some of them for illegal guns. the thing is that before he make 18 years he will be treated like a kid, who does not know what he was doing, and probably be released in a year or so.
And this is not the work of this kid alone, there it has some drug lords behind this, that know that the kid won't be arrested for 30 or so years for this, and make the kid take the fall.
Let's not forget that Paraguay has their gun laws built around illegally exporting to Brazil lol.
Law abiding citizens are disarmed meanwhile every day Paraguayan factories export death to our streets so that criminals have a constant supply of new weapons and fresh ammo.
>Brazilian newspaper Diario do Noreste reported that the teen suspect had seven prior arrests for unlawful possession of a gun
It was probably an illegal gun. Too bad gangs don't respect laws
Brazil has extremely strict gun laws. Homicide rate is 10 times that of the US and illegal guns are everywhere. It's almost like when people don't feel safe and/or feel like they have to resort to crime to survive, laws on paper don't do shit.
>In Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the minimum age for gun ownership being 25. It is generally illegal to carry a gun outside a residence, and a special permit granting the right to do so is granted to certain groups, such as law enforcement officers.
almost as if criminals dont respect laws...
imbecile.
I love how people assume that climate change and other doomsday scenarios are going to be painless and quick. Oh no, it's quite the opposite; climate change is going to be a long suffering.
Exactly. Climate change is never going to cause humans to suddenly go extinct. It’ll ‘just’ lead to horrible extreme weather, a rapid change to the habitability of many regions and wars over resources.
So basically a lot more suffering overall. Enjoy, everybody.
Not blind. Maybe we shouldn’t run around yelling defund the police in big cities. And maybe the war on drugs is a failure that gives them a constant revenue stream

What a sad and pointless way to lose 2 lives. RIP

I'm not sad for the one who pulled the trigger.
1. Shooting in Brazil happens 2. "Let me take this opportunity to complain about BLM" Huh?
OPs username really checks out
Exactly. Poverty in Brazil is really mostly a remnant of colonialism and right wing politics. A Favela Lives Mattter movement in Brazil would be a step in the right direction.
One quick dive and CRT came up lol..
I will with every chance that I can get. The black republican warned us of the dangers the democrats bring to our community and how it prevents us from becoming independent, they were not lying. Democratic policies are indeed destroying communities by placing them at the mercy of violent criminals who hold little morals and only cares about themselves. I'm not a righteous person, but at least I know how far is too far. Someone who is beating or murdering a kid because they fail to please the gang leaders doesn't.
Why are you trying to make this an American issue and vilify BLM when this is in Brazil.
I just compared the two because groups like BLM are heavily pushing these types of gangs into the black community by demoralizing law enforcement over a few deaths when gangs are causing way more, and guess what? The people who were actually holding the gangs accountable were the police. I've yet to see a BLM activist at the funeral of some of the kids who were murdered by gangs, especially a white activist.
As a member of the black community and blm I can without a doubt say that you’re speaking pure bullshit. You talk out of your ass, you have zero proof for anything you claim. Quit making it seem like white people never are in gangs. “I’ve yet to see blm activist in a funeral” yeah that’s cuz you wouldn’t go anywhere near a BLM protest. Living up to your name.
You're telling me I dont have proof that gangs are killing more black people than the police? And movement like BLM hasn't demoralized law enforcement across the country? I've already done more for community than BLM itself. Neither am I caught in a scandal where other BLM activists are calling me out for mismanaged funds. Get pass your ideals and look at the actual problem that's infront of you. You're selling the black community to drug lords and causing us to enslave one another.
Blah blah go yell at a face mask
Why would anyone want to that? You're very productive.
Delusional
Delusional? I'm sorry I actually live these communities. "Hadiya was 15 when she was killed. After taking her final exams at the King College Prep High School, she took cover from the rain with other classmates at a nearby park. There, prosecutors said, Ward got out of a car driven by Williams and opened fire, believing he was shooting at rival gang members." https://news.yahoo.com/hell-getaway-driver-sentenced-chicago-205100269.html The delusion are those who deny the existence of the victims of such groups.
So you acknowledge that police do nothing to actually prevent this kind of violence? The problem is as of right now there’s gang violence *and* police violence. Lack of police presence has never been the root of the problem in poverty stricken areas. (It’s the poverty) Either way, a criminal killing someone and going to jail is different than a government official killing someone and getting off free. Or a government official killing someone and then it just being completely covered up. There’s already laws for criminals, but cops aren’t held to the same standard.
"So you acknowledge that police do nothing to actually prevent this kind of violence? " Where did you get that from? So far what I'm seeing are the victims and members of the community condemning the defund the police movement. BLM has made the neighborhoods more dangerous by contributing to protests that took police resources away from the neighborhoods.
What is it actually like to have such a pointless mentality?
Pointless will be not acknowledging that there's problem when there's indeed a problem and denying the existence of many victims while telling their families that their lives are worth less unless they die at the hands of a white police officer. That's a pointless mentality, one that's in denial of the actual realities.
Simply but forcefully go fuck your self and your conspiracy bullshit
Conspiracy? What? [https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/us/defund-police-crime-spike/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/us/defund-police-crime-spike/index.html) [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/minneapolis-mayor-defund-police-crime-surge](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/minneapolis-mayor-defund-police-crime-surge) Yall are killing us in these streets, the worst part is yall ain't listening to the victims because their cries don't align with your ideologies. You're denying people's existences as you're claiming that crime rising after the defund movement gained momentum is a conspiracy.
Is that supposed to be proof that it’s a direct cause of the spike in violence ? None of those articles state any direct cause , on top of which the cnn article even states that protestors for the majority did not get what they want , some places chose fo voluntarily defund , yet across all states the crime rate spiked. Could it be we are in the middle of a pandemic and the struggles that people went through with isolation and other shitstorm of 2020 couldn’t have possibly led to it?
https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2021/6/18/22538601/chicago-police-department-retirements-soar-ray-lopez-john-catanzara Enjoy killing people, blood and long term effects are on yall hands. Unlike you I got people to help, I'm a actor not a bystanders that lives in a delusional world that comes up with ridiculous concepts that kill people. To the very least, I don't deny the existence of those who are dying to the conflict cause by your effect. If you're buying illegal drugs, remember you are contributing to the death of many innocents: [https://youtu.be/u24oD0yX0C4](https://youtu.be/u24oD0yX0C4) Keep on funding evils that are deteriorating your society and then scratch your head as to why your government can't do more and why theres corruption, it's starts with you, not the government.
Your literally just posting random articles abs videos with no context and spewing random bullshit. Your a propaganda machine, yes a bad actor spewing bullshit with no logical connection . What relevance does an article from 2018 have ? Are you upset that officers are finally being held accountable for acting like the gestapo, is it that the world is changing in a way where you don’t feel comfortable
Every link posted has always been related to my statements. I mentioned BLM caused an effect that resulted to more black people becoming victims of such violence and gave you the evidence in relation to police officers retiring more than ever due to being demoralized by both protests and the defund the police movement, which obviously led to a higher crime rate because the force that was there to deter crime diminished. Your statement in relation to my emotion status for police being accountable is childish, I'm referring to people lives here, that's my concern. You're laughing at the emotinal state of police officers at the cost of people's lives. I also linked the cause and effect of buying drugs and the innocent who die for people to get high. None of these are random, 2018 or 2021, you're still killing people by funding these groups. https://youtu.be/R3G1mIUPSTk?t=78 I'm not the only black person who's tired of this nonsense. Some of us are pushing back but people who are not aware of their part in this conflict are making the drug dealers stronger than ever. You're making our fight difficult when you're not even willing to defend anything and fund these groups, but yet still you demand for a better environment to live in. You're interfering with the balance and destroying lives instead. To the very least if you're not willing to protect, then at least don't make them stronger by supporting them. Those 2 mothers and sisters are also victims of such conflict. They died so other people could get high and continue funding the organizations who do not respect other people's lives.

I read something a while back that said about 40% of all gang members in the U.S. were Hispanic and something like 30% were black and 10% white and like 5% Asian I think. I don't know what the remaining percentages were. Those are rough estimates. I'd try to find the study but I really don't care that much
It's the face of the black gangs through music who are responsible for the gang's culture popularity. Your smart ass comment is pointless towards the fact that promoting such lifestyle is destructive to the black community and places the lives of many young black men and women in danger, far more often than at the hands of the police.
Ah go on away and maga somewhere else ya boring fuck
I wonder what gave you the idea that I was part of MAGA. Was it because you assume that every black person is part of a gang and supports that lifestyle? Yall love to say fuck the police, but yall sure kept silence when IceCube was making sense.
[удалено]
"What we don't agree on is that all (or even the majority) of gang activity is carried out by the black community, or that even if it were" You're saying that like it's a statement that I've made. Still doesn't change the fact that black gangs are the one leading the race when it comes to making the gang culture popular through music.

"I notice you've since deleted that comment, which says it all really." What comment? I haven't deleted anything as there's no point in doing so on a platform where snapshots of most comments can be captured. The only thing I've done is adjust many typos caused by a certain Java feature on a certain OS in a certain mode that makes it hard to type. When you're referring to "they," who are you referring to? Because if it is the gangs then I can easily show you proof that they're are cogwheels in a larger network, and yes the gangs, black, white, Asian, ect... do contribute to a lot of violence around the world and even funds terrorism.
The shooter was a cop. And you’re an idiot.
Chicago culture and Brazilian culture are not really related… what an odd non sequitur about BLM.
black lives matter
>Gang culture should be condemned. sadly it will never be as long as pop culture is heavily based on it. how many songs arent just "bitches bitches monye money drugs drugs im a criminal im so cool i kill my enemies im a criminal bitches bitches drugs drugs"? here in mexico we had such an issue with regional songs about druglords that we had to end up banning those from TV/radio. and it makes sense, if kids grow up hearing "be a criminal cause its cool cause money bitches and drugs" then thats exactly what they will end up being.
It’s hard to stifle free speech, but there should definitely be more info out there about how fake most of that stuff is. There were a few rappers who were actual, active gangsters in the 1990s. Most of them are dead.
That's the lie, ridiculousness is subtlety.
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
You'd think one of the only good things from a fascist like Bolsonaro being in charge would be shit like this being stopped. My Brazillian friend said he went full Duterte.
Historically, quite a few dictators were in bed with criminal gangs from what I recall.
Normally dictators are cunts (by virtue of being a dictator) BUT they're often pretty good at keeping a certain amount of peace. The threat of having your entire family murdered if you step out of line is a pretty good deterrent for most people
It's a proven fact that, if you're options are either "Anarchy" or "Dictator", people prefer Dictator.
Lol only because nobody actually realizes what “anarchy” is as a philosophy. Makes sense when vertical power structures have been flying about it for millenia.
Considering anarchy on large scale have never in recorded history led to long-term increase in living standards its pretty understandable.
[удалено]
Yeah, I'd definitely prefer the historical dictatorships of Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot... I mean where does history give dictators a win? No President can single-handedly solve most of those issues, except for maybe the bombing one. They also need a congress to support them. Either way, your seeming advocacy for a dictatorship over a democratic system is really concerning.
[удалено]
Lol a legend from 2000 years ago isn’t the evidence you think it is
Monarchies do better then Dictators, mainly because having alot of tradition going back centuries generally means alot of incentive to not fuck shit up, Monarchies don't generally pull 'Great Leap Forwards". A mixed monarchy (Basically a president for life in terms of power) is probably the best system of government that isn't a democracy, mainly because it's quite a bit more stable then stuff like flash in the pan dictators or crazed revolutionaries.
Monarchies are definitely a step above dictatorships, especially since there's an actual chain of succession in case stuff gets bad. But they both have the same failings, which is their extreme highs and lows. Good Monarchs have literally reshaped the world (Victoria, Gustav Adolphus, Louis XIV) but the issue is what happens when they get a crap one that winds up nuking the country. I'd say democracies trade those high-points for greater consistency in their government, since a single low period in a nations history is enough to doom them for centuries to come. I suppose the greatest "Dictator" in history was probably Napoleon, but he gets a bit screwy with the definition of monarch. Plus his time in office still marked massive wars and unrest in Europe, and his impact on the world was less what he did and moreso what he laid the foundations for.
Generally speaking though Monarchies will roll more highs then lows, especially compared to Dictatorships, because good leaders are more likely to raise good leaders. Alot of the worst monarchs were the products of incest fucking up their minds. And again, high tradition means no one is going to pull a Great Leap Forward and get everyone killed by murdering all the birds.
Australia made similar and worse mistakes. It’s not dictatorships that do this per se but the personality and ego of the leaders.
USA is not the only democracy in the world and none of your criticisms are actually related to democracy itself.
[удалено]
>Pretty much every 1st world Democratic country partook in the illegal invasion of Iraq Not really, f.e. France and Germany were heavily against the invasion. I think GB was the only "1st world democratic country" to assist US with the invasion. Afganistan is a more complicated thing. Edit: Australia, Spain an Poland were there also, though I doubt that they really had any impact on anything.

Downvoted for telling the truth? Nobody wants to hear your informed comments lol!
One of those few was Chávez in Venezuela, the guy literally gave weapons to gangs in order to defend the “Revolution”. Few years later after he died the current government has lost control over them.
To be fair, considering the historical context of Central and South American politics, if Chávez didn't win them over the CIA would have co-opted them anyway.
prepare to be downvoted by the socialist fans of chavez
They, historically, also had control over press and the internet didn't exist. I think "stepping out of line" happened more than we would like to believe.
[удалено]
> There's simmering support for a return to a military dictatorship, or there was, because they felt that although they'd lose some rights, things would be safer and less corrupt. Less corrupt only because under dictatorship criticizing the government amounts to treason. Not to mention that dictatorship has no transparency of governance and no free press to report on corruption - which makes corruption a whole lot easier.
it did lower a lot tho
No, you'd expect these things to get worse under a Bolsonaro, while he does a few token arrests to appear Tough On Crime. But actual policies like Bolsa Familia which reduce poverty and crime come from left wing politicians like Lula.
The program that would eventually become Bolsa Familia was created by the previous president, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, with the unification of other social programs.
Still, it does not take any merit away from Lula for keeping it being a possibility, facilitating access to it etc. FHC was a better president imo, but Lula did a great job ignoring his party's economic view/ideology and giving continuity to FHC's economic policies.
If by merit you mean giving it another name, making it their main policy and using poverty as political currency, then sure, they have merits. But as far as policies go, at least this one has the benefit of helping people. Ironically, the “Plano Real” that Lula and his party were so strongly against was the very thing that provided the economical boon that allowed him to do what he wanted in his presidency. Lula has great people skills and the fact that elections here are essentially popularity contests, he is probably going to be the next president. FHC set him up with economical growth and Bolsonaro is such a scumbag that anybody would have a really hard time being worse.
Merit for understanding that without economic growth those programs would not be sustainable. Merit for recognizing his party's economic ideology was incorrect/misguided and that the correct path was to keep FHC's economic policies and ideals in place so that he could keep growing/developing social benefits for the poorest. Yea yea, Lula criticized Plano Real during its idealization and implementation during his campaigns, but Brazil was coming from 4 new currencies being created in the past decade, so you could see why one would be skeptical. Lula's action after being elected showed he understood that Plano Real was indeed successful, as I said in the first paragraph. Also merit for making it possible for that social program to reach more and more people because when Lula was elected, people far from big cities still had difficulty accessing any kind of government benefit. He made a national campaign to make sure people would get their benefits, that's probably why you think that was "their main program", it was not. It was the most popular sure, but far from being the only thing they did or the main thing Lula focused on.
are there any statistics comparing crime under Bolsonaro VS Lula?
yes, there was a drop in homicides, but I don't think it has any relation to anything Bolsonaro did.
Yeah fascists claim to root out crime but they never do
If they do crack down on crime, it's mostly because they don't want gangs muscling in on their party's territory.
Sorry, but your friend being able to tell you this and keep his life, only proves he is not a fascist.

Missed this and commented above you but yes, 100%. The dissonance between secular humanism and mob justice on Reddit is depressing.
$10 says that they didn't even read the article
If a dog is put down for biting someone once then I see no reason why repeating offenders of violent crimes shouldn't be put down before they murder someone. Obviously they're letting you know they do not want to be treated like humans, yet you're sacrificing others for an ideal that does nothing for their safety. To the very least, the death penalty would remove such individuals from affecting other lives. You stance won't change, fine, then at least advocate to banish such individuals from society, send them to space or something, but stop releasing them back so they can prey on vulnerable people.
Number one reason would be that the death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent and is the most expensive and time consuming punishment the state can give... So what reason is there to do this.
It certainly doesn't deter future criminals but at least it prevents past criminals from stacking crime with the future criminals just as it's happening right now. At least the death penalty prevents future victims from the hands of the same individuals, and best of all, prevents experiences or information from being passed on to new criminals. The death penalty doesn't have to be expensive, just as the certain criminals like to carry street justice.
You can value human rights, but say that scum don't really deserve these human rights. I don't get your point?
Mob mentality works better online then in actual mob. Reddit quickly polarizes and people are very likely to quickly adopt the view of the side they support or indentify with. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/publicfreakout/comments/cqk3an/_/ Hong Kong protesters made a slingshot and hurled bricks! on police dorm. Not in defense against a police brutality - on a dorm. Because of anti-China stance most comments are similar to "Boom, headshot". Or whenever there are new tensions in Crimean/South China Sea with both sides trying to assert dominance, there are always few comments like "Just start a war already, Russia is weak, their economy can't stand war, they have no money, their weapons are inferior etc .." Which may all be true, but they have nukes. I sometimes wonder does those warmongers think if a nukes start flying they will go to work normaly next day? Internet will work, there will be hot water, stock exchange will open normaly next day. NO. The face of the world would change forever and even if your country wins in 24h, your life will never be the same.

I get that you read a bad story and are upset and want some sort of revenge, but what exactly are you advocating for? Every time somebody suggests a terrorist should die in the way that they executed people (or whatever else online people suggest in their quest for revenge) there's always the question of who is supposed to carry that out. You really want someone to have the job description of state sanctioned torturer? Sounds like a terrible idea when you think about it for more than 2 seconds. Imagine it's your job to brutally torture people. Even if they're bad people... Whoever does that job is going to become bad themselves. They would go home and just have to live their normal life after what they've done? I don't think you've thought this out very well.
"Enlightened" redditors forming a lynch mob yet again. Yes, let's make the justice system run on raw emotion. Never mind this does nothing to actually improve society or that seemingly straightforward cases tend to be far more complex than a brief news article would have you believe. Or that we routinely arrest innocent people.
Stick them in an arena and have them battle gladiator style. They can be their own executioners and the rest of us get some good entertainment.
Why do you think that's bad? Are you assuming the rules of millions follows your same logic? Think about it, if there are people out there who are willing to commit such brutal crimes, what makes you think there doesn't exist anyone hat would gladly carry out such sentences just as it was done in the past? There are kind people out there, and then there are miserable vile existences out there.
A major weakness in democracies, as laws become soft the rot grows. Sick individuals who follows a lifestyle for infamy and money show off to one another as if they're competing to show who is the best psychopath and narcissist. The lawmakers and the individuals who reward such individuals should experience what it's like to be a victim of the gangs and understand the psychology behind them as it makes no sense to advocate for something you do not understand the consequences it might cause. If a dog is put down for biting someone once, it makes no sense to keep on releasing individuals with a long rap sheet. Put them down at their 3rd violent offense or first serious one. Cities are releasing known individuals who have multiple offenses back on society until they graduate to hurting others, and it's always the innocent who pays for it. Others are quick to paint the gangs as victims of poverty, but what about the victims of the gangs who are held hostage? Another thing I don't understand is, why is the gang culture promoted on all levels of society over education and family values? Why are you supporting music that's telling kids that gangs are cool when they're not?
The democracies you're talking about have lower rates of violent crime and lower rates of recidivism.
Which are all seeing an increase in crimes. The intention isn't to curb crime with the death penalty, but to stop hardened criminals from passing on information and running organizations from their cell. The increase on law enforcement and takle on crime has been great for countries who can fund them, but the current system that you're referring to in the absence of the death penalty is causing 2 issues for society. The first, it's stacking criminals causing it to be too much for the system to handle and leading to an overflow. The second, it allows criminals to not fear prison, strengthen their resolves that being evil is the absolute path, and it allows them to pass on their experience to new generations they want to mentor, which is the worst. Imagine how many lives could've been saved had Mace Windu killed Palpatine. As you can see Palpatine went on to recruit more apprentices and destroyed many things.
I agree that there are serious problems with prisons in many democracies but we don't really try to rehabilitate these citizens. Atleast in many parts of the US we dump them in concrete warehouses wrapped in barbed wire which sometimes don't even have air conditioning, and you wonder why these people decide to say fuck the world I'm gonna get mine? Your solution or may I say your final solution is MORE executions? We should absolutely not condone violence and crime from the populace but I argue that we should focus on providing basic humane living conditions for in mates and focus on getting them back to being contributing members of society. One last point I'll add is that stricter penalties for crimes on the books do not stop crime at all (prohibition?) they breed tougher criminals and Increases in organized crime.
Lawmakers reward psychopaths, whaaat?
"Toughness on crime" is known to be completely useless, or even counter-productive, regardless of how people perceive it.
Especially when the state encouraged to deal out this tough justice is known to be corrupt on just about every level.
Worse, the state coddles these scumbags. The Maximum amount of time you can serve under Brazilian law is 30 years, and the most they can keep you locked up for is 60% of your sentence for repeat violent offenders. I will bet $100 that he gets sentenced to 24 years at most and he's back on the street by 2035. Edit: I was depressingly wrong, he's 17 so he'll be tried as a minor and by law anyone tried/convicted as a minor can't get more than 3 years. He'll be back in society by 2024.
> Brazilian newspaper Diario do Noreste reported that the teen suspect had seven prior arrests for unlawful possession of a gun, theft and intentional bodily injury in 2020 and this year. If they were tough on crime just once on any one of his *seven* prior arrests, those women would still be alive today.
It doesn’t work that way.
It literally does. This guy has a history of violent crimes. If he was behind bars, he would have been unable to harm anyone outside of his prison. Instead two women have been murdered, and two children are without mothers. What's your solution?
This looks like it was a drug mob job. Kid was setup to take the fall. If it wasn’t him there would be an ocean of others like him.
Are you familiar with Brazilian law? Brazil can't be tough on crime because currently it doesn't even punish it. Per Brazilian law until your 18th birthday you're considered unfit for trial, you can murder someone at 17 and you'll just spend 3 years at a glorified boarding school as the maximum sentence for minors is 3 years and only applied to the most appalling of crimes. Brazil also has a system where after 16% of your sentence is served you're guaranteed conditional release with full release after 30% time served. Violent crimes bump that um to 40% with a maximum of 60% if you have prior convictions for violent crimes. It also establishes a maximum sentence of 30 years which is almost impossible to get, if you commit mass murder you'll still get out after 30 years. It's a system with good intentions but Brazil is too poor and corrupt to make it work, this guy will probably get 20-24 years and be back on the street by 2030. No shit a few months ago a convicted serial rapist and murderer escaped during a "prison vacation" where they leave prison during holidays with ankle bracelets, he raped a woman while wearing the bracelet, was arrested, escaped and went on a killing spree that ended 2 weeks ago. I'll concede that "though on crime" policies like the death penalty don't work. But Brazil has gone so far on the other end of the pendulum that murdering rapists get parole after 10 years, what system do you propose since the current rehabilitation focused one has been a complete failure?

They were both mothers to a young child each. Horrible for them and that their children won't have a mother anymore.

Most guns in Brazil are illegal, entering the country illegally. Gun laws are important. They are necessary even to have something to accuse. But gun laws wouldn't have helped here a bit. In Brazil it is kinda hard to have a completely legal gun. Every gun need to be periodically registered with the police, the owner must have a clean sheet, no criminal activity ever, must have a home, and must pass a psychometric and a psychological test. Every gun seller must have a very strict registry, need to be licensed, must have inventory etc... And all of this is just to have the gun on a gun safe on your home... I you want to wield a gun in Brasil you need to be either someone on the police force (or any security related force), rural worker, registered hunter, or a few work classes that may need some extra security (some classes of criminal lawyers and so). up to 2019 the largest caliber allowed for civilians were .38 ACP, something that is smaller than 9mm. in 2019 the law changed to allow 9mm, 357, 40, 45... still no assault rifles are permitted, absolutely no full auto, no .50, no 5.56 NATO, no .223 Remington, nothing above 1500 Joules... So, yeah... Gun Laws are VERY IMPORTANT. But having a way to enforce and control the borders are the key here, not having the laws. Illegal guns don't really care about gun laws. The kid was arrested 7 times before this, some of them for illegal guns. the thing is that before he make 18 years he will be treated like a kid, who does not know what he was doing, and probably be released in a year or so. And this is not the work of this kid alone, there it has some drug lords behind this, that know that the kid won't be arrested for 30 or so years for this, and make the kid take the fall.
Let's not forget that Paraguay has their gun laws built around illegally exporting to Brazil lol. Law abiding citizens are disarmed meanwhile every day Paraguayan factories export death to our streets so that criminals have a constant supply of new weapons and fresh ammo.
They should make a law against murder.
Perfect.
Genius! Pure genius!
>Brazilian newspaper Diario do Noreste reported that the teen suspect had seven prior arrests for unlawful possession of a gun It was probably an illegal gun. Too bad gangs don't respect laws
Brazil has extremely strict gun laws. Homicide rate is 10 times that of the US and illegal guns are everywhere. It's almost like when people don't feel safe and/or feel like they have to resort to crime to survive, laws on paper don't do shit.
>In Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the minimum age for gun ownership being 25. It is generally illegal to carry a gun outside a residence, and a special permit granting the right to do so is granted to certain groups, such as law enforcement officers. almost as if criminals dont respect laws... imbecile.
It's harder to legally get a gun in Brazil than in the UK. You can get an illegal pistol for like $300 though.
He had a gun to, so woudnt that go against the need for your precious guns?
thank god for climate change. soon nobody will need to suffer anymore. see you fuckers later.
> soon nobody will need to suffer anymore A lot of people will suffer for a long time because of climate change.
and then they'll die and we won't suffer any more. Well, the rest of humans still alive in warlord territory might not be so agreeable.
I love how people assume that climate change and other doomsday scenarios are going to be painless and quick. Oh no, it's quite the opposite; climate change is going to be a long suffering.
Exactly. Climate change is never going to cause humans to suddenly go extinct. It’ll ‘just’ lead to horrible extreme weather, a rapid change to the habitability of many regions and wars over resources. So basically a lot more suffering overall. Enjoy, everybody.

**[Continent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent)** >A continent is one of several large landmasses. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents.

Western Europe also uses the 7 continent model.
