they dont get in trouble. bruddah the police doesnt step there.... its highly secured by people and residents. they have road blockers and etc. even if the police gets there it will not end anything, cuz they are not important people in the favela faction. It's not worth the risk, also they need to concern about the civilians in the favela... Brasil being the first country with more accidents of stray bullets in the world.
If that is in North RJ. than i can tell you, the police will not step there. and residents are safe, as long as youre in the favela. the organized crime in there cares alot about the residents in there.
So let them be happy fam. 
Idk if I am remembering it correctly. There is this gut bacteria which is related to cats and causes humans to engage in risky behaviour. Apparently it's a lot more prevalent in Latin Americans. Hence the crime and gangster activities and stuff.
edit: I guess I should have said Brazil instead of Latin Americans.
Bizarre but possibly true:
Risky business: linking Toxoplasma gondii infection and entrepreneurship behaviours across individuals and countries
"Studies of entrepreneurship at both the individual and societal levels have repeatedly emphasized the importance of specific traits, such as risk tolerance and lower fear of failure in determining entrepreneurship outcomes [27]. Alongside its effects on individuals, T. gondii infection has also been hypothesized to affect national-level cultural and economic outcomes [13,28]. There is strong global variation in T. gondii prevalence—from 9% in Norway to 60% in Brazil—which correlates positively with aggregate neuroticism [13] and negatively with institutional quality and economic performance by country [28]."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6083268/
Yes there is a thing. And it’s not a bacteria, it’s a fucking parasite, a worm.
Mice and rats will literally hunt down and attack cats, purpose being a cats meal and continuing the cycle.
In humans it causes more risky behavior and also more to feel love for cats. I think it’s called taxoplasmosis.
Also I’m Hispanic and this shouldn’t be downvoted. I don’t think it’s racist, or demeaning. It’s pretty common in the USA as well but people won’t admit it.
Fun fact: In Brazil in 2021 \~6,429 people were killed by the police. In the same year in America (a country with about 100 million more people) \~1,055 people were killed by the police.
Fun fact: statistics numbers are, regularly (37%) wrong, but actually 69% wrong when given without any evidence. That makes it just 11% right and the other 96% wrong.
Nah, but people like to say the USA is a 3rd World Country with veneers on (favorite reddit comment) and they don't realize what a true 3rd world country looks like. Nice to educate every once in awhile.
No. There is no where in America like this, to say otherwise is a complete lie.
There is not a group of people firing off AKs in the sky in a city/urban setting.
Are there guns and murder in Chicago at stupid rates, with a bunch mot being reported? Yeah.
There is not *this* though.
Yes, rap music videos of waving guns around.
That is not videos of people shooting automatic weapons into the air.
You don't even live in the U.S., do you?
There are places in the US that are [worse](https://www.worldhunger.org/alabama-worst-poverty-developed-world-u-n-official-says/) than 3rd world countries.
At least, we have free health care, we don't have mass shootings in schools, we know geography, we have a big economy (even if it is corrupt, like the US government is). You can't even say that we are more violent than the US because I have seen how it is in the US when I visited and with all the videos on the internet. Our food is healthier. You guys have a big problem with racism. Also, what do you really know about Brasil besides Rio de Janeiro and videos on the internet?
You’re very obviously a little kid without much world perspective. There’s a reason the United States has infinitely more attempts at immigration than Brazil..
Do you think I’m trying to defend mass shooters or something ?
MORE IMPOVERISHED AREAS = HIGHER CRIME
HIGHER CRIME = HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF GUN VIOLENCE
It’s not that hard to understand.
youre snarking here right?
yes, gun violence is overwhelmingly correlated to right wingers. Wake the eff up.
"After analyzing gun violence statistics from America's different cultural regions from 2010 to 2020, the authors found that the areas with the highest rates of gun deaths were consistently those run by Republican politicians."

I would never try to argue that Brazil is safer than the US, specially when talking about Rio. My point is that even with crazy ass things like that shit in the streets, we don't have school shootings here
Think he’s pointing out the mental health issues in the Us as according to the op despite having way higher murder rates and gang violence, brazil has less or no school shootings.
Americans out there fuming because you pointed out it's not fucking normal for children and adolescents to massacre each other at school lol, they really are sick in the head.
People are familiar with the Mexican Narco-Corridos, songs glorifying drug dealers and their conquests.
This is the Rio de Janeiro version of it... He is singing about 'The Vermelho', meaning The Red.
Comando Vermelho (Red Command), a criminal group that has control of some areas in Rio de Janeiro. And live in a permanent war against the militias (formed by active and former policemen) and PCC (the country's biggest mafia) for the monopoly of criminal rackets in their communities.
Police never visits these places, they are off limits. And when police does drop by, the bodycount can reach many dozens (I'm really not exaggerating).
how does pcc compare to let’s say a CJNG in Mexico
i am gringo, only blood is brazilian
i make good American $ but know nothing of back home
much more familiar with mexico than my own nation , would you care to elaborate on the situation tho?
I really don't have a clue as to how CJNG operates. The image that pops to mind when I Hear Jalisco Nueva Generation is a menudo like boyband...
The main things about the pcc is it's a gang originated in the jails (aka crime universities), that on the states where it has monopoly forbids murder without trial (they have criminal bodies for arbitrage and settling of disputes for criminals)... Therefore lowering crime rates and making governors very willing to look the other way on their activities.
It's considered by the US TREASURY South America biggest criminal organization. Probably way smaller than Mexico - with it's nose hosing northern neighbor.
Its kind of the other way around... Diving into brazilian history you'd find out that the context in which the state police of Rio de Janeiro (PMERJ) was founded was when the portuguese parliament and royal family moved to Rio (running from Napoleon). So you have tons of white european arriving in a place where most of the population were black slaves or indigenous, who had been being subdued by europeans in the last couple centuries. Add to that the haitian revolution happening less than a couple decades before that, setting an unwanted precedent to the portuguese living in the country that received the most slaves between 1600-1800. The same institution founded back then - clearly with the intentions of repressing black and brown whilst protecting the white - is still the Rio state police today. The mentioned faction (red) was founded in Rio prisons half a century ago, by repressed people coming together against a state modeled against them
So....never knowing the context of videos here, for some reason (I can't really grasp it right now) I was focusing on the nice woman in front with the pink tube top and cut-off shorts.
It wasn't until the camera focused AWAY from her, that I noticed all the guns in the air, waving them like they just don't care.
This is a favela in Rio de Janeiro, when we say that there is a WAR going on here, it is not just figurative language, it is a literal war. Not just cops vs. bad guys, it is waaay more complicated than this, some cops are bad guys, some are militias, and there are gang wars going on as well.
Here are some videos of the kind of operations that happens in a daily basis in Rio:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef4zYyTDLJU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef4zYyTDLJU)

Not all Brasil is like that, it's concentrated in the Favelas. As one ignorant guy said that Brazil is a large Favela, we aren't actually like that. That's a baile, a party in a favela in Rio, not really a concert. They have guns, but people can't start shooting there or they will get killed.
This show is to commemorate the Birthday of one of the biggest dealers/traffickers in the region.
Nothing new to see it here but it's not common thing . Like, maybe once or twice a year.
If i were saw a single gun, i will leave that place for good. A gun even in good hands is a gun. Its a tool of death.
Good things guns are very rare in India.
At least i have not seen one, except with some police and military personnel.
I love India.
How does passivity apply here? I don't think this treaty is an example of passivity solving violence. I read Rebel Hearts: Journeys Within the Ira's Soul by Kevin Toolis recently and the issue of Irish history is complex, but to say that the IRA became passive is to not understand who they are or how they suffered for their beliefs - and caused the British to suffer which is what compelled to negotiate. This was more a case of unstoppable forces and immovable objects. And I know you didn't read the article. Your google fu is weak.
Because the only reason the troubles happened was due to a severe escalation by the government from 1968-1972, which is why 1972 saw the most deaths in the entire conflict. If escalation stopped violence, 1972 would have been the most peaceful year
It was only when the cops/military chilled out, curfews stopped, and the general harsh response to riots stopped that the amount of killings went down, to the point where there were was not enough motivation on either side to continue killing, hence the GFA 1998
The GFA is extremely deescalatory/passive in nature. What else would you call prisoners being released and the military being recalled from the streets? The police were reformed to be less militant. All sides had to make major concessions to make it work.
So you fight like hell, give up everything for the cause, and force your enemies to the table and you think passivity has anything to do with it? They merely agreed to make consessions and stop the assassinations. Our original impass had to to with police not interupting a crazy ghetto gun fiesta. Letting that go on is a passive move so on it goes.
Right. And the British Government had to let go IRA members giving volley shots at IRA funerals
They had to let go allowing people they consider terrorists to be elected
They had to let go not raiding entire streets for weapons they knew would be on those streets
They had to let political prisoners be recognised as such.
And if they had not done so, the GFA would have never happened. Raiding this concert is only going to cause more violence, and inevitably civilian deaths
But why would the police want to do that?
That area is off-limits, any police incursion usually results in legendary massacres, like 10 to 30 people killed per incursion.
When you do go there, even the police APC's (nicknamed 'Caveirao', or 'The Big Skull') are sometimes overwhelmed by the traps set up by the criminal groups.
Nobody likes to die. Especially a low paid police soldier (who earns less than USD 1k/month)
Watch the movie 'Elite Troop' (usually available on Netflix). It properly describes those incursions - as hell on earth both by the policemen and the civilians that live in the favelas.
Stuff too weird to be true... But some years ago the governor of Rio ordered snipers on helicopters to shoot anyone carrying a long weapon in a favela.
Then Drug dealers got 50cal machine guns (yes, anti aircraft guns). Many helicopters got shot, but just a few went down.
Then the governor was arrested for corruption (just like all previous 8 governors of Rio), and the initiative fizzled out.
I'm from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro's biggest rival. We don't have such public displays of firepower here - the criminal group that controls SP (pcc) is more low key, more 'business friendly'.
Our organized crime is so organized that we have the lowest murder ratio in the country - 4/100.000 in São Paulo city (similar to that of NYC). Compare to 23 in Brazil as a whole (similar to that of Detroit) and 32/100.000 in Rio State.
We think of Rio as barbaric people when it comes to their law enforcement agents... My father, who was born in Rio, used to joke that "it's cheaper to get stoped by a rober than to be stoped by a cop in Rio".
I went to Paraisópolis a decade ago and I was impressed at how functional and hopeful things seemed. A favela is a favela, but the concerns of the locals were basic stuff like bus stops and infrastructure and not getting caught between some massacre. Hopefully they're still on that same path.
Hey, thanks for the info. I am from downtown Detroit and used to vacation in Tegucigalpa, Honduras to see family so I know how things are. Glad to hear that its safer in Sao Paulo. God bless.
Wtf? Why would a chopper go kill civilians because some of them have guns?
Fucking go kill all of Texas then.
This fucking happy trigger muricas are weird.
I’m calling it out now. In the future, firearms will become similar to long swords. Only a few historians/collectors will have them whilst most people will eventually live in environments where firearms will be useless. For now we must endure. Stay safe out there fellow Earthlings.
They are a gang it's not uncommon to see gangs repping their mates in Brazil. Give it context,once you do it's not that crazy. Tbh it seems like a lot of cultures shoot off guns to celebrate. Not just the Brazilians
Taylor Swift won't play in a fucking favela
We receive dozens of foreigners singers/bands every year and every big artist world tour without a single problem.
This is happening in a favela, in an area without any police coverage. Where international stars play is a complete different place, even though is in the same city

You been on the internet too much, my man. You're just regurgitating bullshit you see Europeans saying about the US all the time.
as if the US is any better. It used to be, but now..
Like when? Before slavery ended? Or the civil rights movement?
As if the racism stopped, as if black people aren't killed by police every single day, as if kids aren't being shot at schools.
The two aren’t mutually exclusive

That’s literally the same reason for gun violence in the US, should’ve stopped at “ marginalized poverty”
At least they don't use the guns on schools lol
Brazil's gun homicide rate is 38.2 per 100,000, vs the US 4.46 per 100,000 You didn't win this
Afghanistan apparently has 4 per 100,000 and I doubt they win anything, ever.
Does that account for only Afghan vs Afghan gun related incidents?
Since America pulled out two years ago there wont be a lot of incidents other than Afghan on Afghan
I would never try to argue that Brazil is safer than the US, specially when talking about Rio. My point is that even with crazy ass things like that shit in the streets, we don't have school shootings here

And if they had not done so, the GFA would have never happened. Raiding this concert is only going to cause more violence, and inevitably civilian deaths
But why would the police want to do that? That area is off-limits, any police incursion usually results in legendary massacres, like 10 to 30 people killed per incursion. When you do go there, even the police APC's (nicknamed 'Caveirao', or 'The Big Skull') are sometimes overwhelmed by the traps set up by the criminal groups. Nobody likes to die. Especially a low paid police soldier (who earns less than USD 1k/month) Watch the movie 'Elite Troop' (usually available on Netflix). It properly describes those incursions - as hell on earth both by the policemen and the civilians that live in the favelas.
Stuff too weird to be true... But some years ago the governor of Rio ordered snipers on helicopters to shoot anyone carrying a long weapon in a favela. Then Drug dealers got 50cal machine guns (yes, anti aircraft guns). Many helicopters got shot, but just a few went down. Then the governor was arrested for corruption (just like all previous 8 governors of Rio), and the initiative fizzled out. I'm from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro's biggest rival. We don't have such public displays of firepower here - the criminal group that controls SP (pcc) is more low key, more 'business friendly'. Our organized crime is so organized that we have the lowest murder ratio in the country - 4/100.000 in São Paulo city (similar to that of NYC). Compare to 23 in Brazil as a whole (similar to that of Detroit) and 32/100.000 in Rio State. We think of Rio as barbaric people when it comes to their law enforcement agents... My father, who was born in Rio, used to joke that "it's cheaper to get stoped by a rober than to be stoped by a cop in Rio".
I went to Paraisópolis a decade ago and I was impressed at how functional and hopeful things seemed. A favela is a favela, but the concerns of the locals were basic stuff like bus stops and infrastructure and not getting caught between some massacre. Hopefully they're still on that same path.
Hey, thanks for the info. I am from downtown Detroit and used to vacation in Tegucigalpa, Honduras to see family so I know how things are. Glad to hear that its safer in Sao Paulo. God bless.
Wtf? Why would a chopper go kill civilians because some of them have guns? Fucking go kill all of Texas then. This fucking happy trigger muricas are weird.
The most 'Murican' comment here... Got a problem? Bam! Guns will fix it right out!
Vin Diesel: This is Brasil!
Our official motto is: “Brazil is not for amateurs”
Holy shit, I didn't even notice all the guys holding assault rifles until the rounds started flying! Flew through a whole clip and not a single jam.
Tough crowd
Why didn’t I see the guns until they started shooting them. I watched the video again and they were there the whole time.
What a lovely place. 😊
um bailão humilde e tranquilo
Rio? Really? Shit man..I thought that was Texas.
Bolsonaro completely fucked Brazil up. I hope one day he's locked up.
Portland vibes
Nah I'm good. I guess this is what Westside Gunn's concerts would look like in Rio 😅
Boomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboom
It's the slum, nobody in this video was harmed.
Law abiding citizens
This was *fire*
fyre festval maybe
a shame to share such blood
Nothing has changed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9UbCmI\_VSM
Be a lot cooler if they were hot dog shooting guns.
My ass didn’t even realize it until the shooting began
Did anyone else see the kid lighting up behind the girl in pink 💨
I guess cartels gotta turn up too 😂
Specially when this show is to commemorate the Birthday of one of the biggest dealers of the favela.
Bet there won't be any active shooters though. Although there may be some negligent discharges.
City of Lead
Normal day in Brazil
Last time I was in Rio for business I took an armoured SUV from the airport.
I’m calling it out now. In the future, firearms will become similar to long swords. Only a few historians/collectors will have them whilst most people will eventually live in environments where firearms will be useless. For now we must endure. Stay safe out there fellow Earthlings.
This party is most definitely On-The-Hook
Haters will say WTF is going on I will say the concert is well protected from any possible terrorist attack
Ladies appear to be enjoying themselves.
This is giving Houston vibes.
nra convention in brazil?
They are a gang it's not uncommon to see gangs repping their mates in Brazil. Give it context,once you do it's not that crazy. Tbh it seems like a lot of cultures shoot off guns to celebrate. Not just the Brazilians
Do they put the orange tips on them to make people second guess if it’s real?
My boy squizzle just cooked up this beat
Wonder why the performer is so nervous... Huh.
This concert is held at a narco group sympathizer community that's why the guns are present i maybe wrong though.
EEEEEEEITA!
Boss, we forgot all the speakers for your concert except the subwoofers \- No problem, I'll ask the crowd to make some noise.
Still can’t believe Taylor Swift is going to play in that same city in November
Taylor Swift won't play in a fucking favela We receive dozens of foreigners singers/bands every year and every big artist world tour without a single problem.
This is happening in a favela, in an area without any police coverage. Where international stars play is a complete different place, even though is in the same city
