Wrong side of the tracks....happens daily in every city, state and country....

We once accidentally found our selves driving in the recently demolished Cabrini Green in Chicago....the feral sons of Obama came out to attack us...I was at my pick fighting weight 6'4 200 and my co pilot was an O lineman for the Alabama Crimson tide.

It did not end well for them. I did ruin and brand new Armani jacket that I had bought downtown the day before.

Good times.

Brazil has really lost it's shine having just come off the World Cup and Olympics....

Perhaps this is why Atta has been absent as of late. :dunno:
Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.

The opening article was updated. There, it reads:

The Rio area has many favelas, which house communities of working-class Brazilians. Some are seen as no-go areas.

Vinicius Barbosa, the deputy chief executive of the Angra dos Reis government, condemned the authorities’ lack of control over high-crime areas “where you can’t go in, where the media can’t go in, where services can’t go in – this is intolerable,” AFP reported.

Gilaberte said the Agua Santa favela was controlled by the Red Command, one of the most violent drug gangs in Brazil, which also controlled favelas in Rio de Janeiro. “It is a risk area, no doubt. We would advise people that because of the risk they should avoid the area,” he said.

Violent crime is spiralling out of control in Rio de Janeiro state, where the government has been struggling to pay police salaries, gun battles break out in favelas on a daily basis, and the homicide rate for the first half of this year was the highest since 2009. On 28 July, thousands of soldiers began patrolling Rio streets in an attempt to reduce the violence.
