I think you have probably seen this, but it is still impressive. A gang war that leaves over 100 dead in a week!
What do you think of that? What should the government be doing? Is it out of control? Should external powers intervene?

Watch the movie 'City of God', a human life means absolutily nothing there. Interesting about the movie is the cast, they are all from these very parts of town, the director wanted 'natural'. It is a mess there.

Re: Paradise Brazil
What?! How can this be possible?! Gangs with rifles and grenades?! I refuse to believe it!
After all, look at Brazil, they have some very strict gun control laws. Thus, it is simply not possible for criminals to get guns if guns are outlawed! If they could, what would be the point of gun control laws?

Re: Paradise Brazil
Let's not turn this into yet another gun control thread, OK?
Thanks
Re: Paradise Brazil
Right, because this thread was about gun control....

Mafiosi gangs in Sicily claim many lives, but I guess probably not that quickly and openly.

Re: Paradise Brazil
Yeah it's a really messed up situation, you have millions of people from the country living in illigal homes with little to no police monitoring, most of the youths in drug-traficking gangs. The crime rate inside the slums is surprisingly low, disregarding the drug trade, because if the police get called into the neighobourhoods it costs the gangs dearly. So a lot of people there leave their homes unlocked ironically enough.
Guns are not outlawed in Brazil. They have about 17,000,000 registered firearms. It's illigal to carry them outside of the home but whateva.
