  Good? What's he accused of? Something from 2 years ago? Why would he need to be under house arrest, just start the trial immediately you had forever to prepare. If you can't get the evidence in 2 years then maybe they didn't commit the crime or you should have a slam dunk obstruction of justice case.

    He trial is happening. There's a bunch of proofs. He likely will get convicted next month at worse.

    > What's he accused of? The most serious accusation entails the creation of a "parallel intelligence apparatus" which was apparently keeping tabs on the supreme court judges. I don't doubt it. He's also accused of ordering brazilian police to interfere in the elections in the northeast. I'm not sure if that can be directly attributed to him. The "questioning of voting machines" and "incitation of protests" are just there to pad the list and insult our intelligence.

This is just continuing a disturbing trend of lawfare, censorship, and constitutional violations from Brazil’s top courts. Whether it is Trump doing it or Brazil’s courts, targeting political rivals this way is corrupt and can destabilize society.

  If Bolsonaro was responsible for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_January_Bras%C3%ADlia_attacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_January_Bras%C3%ADlia_attack... how should a democratic society respond?

    Brazil is not a democratic society, it's a dictatorship of the judiciary. Not a single brazilian voted for these judge-kings who also legislate and execute. That "attack" was directly caused by the "activism" of these judge-kings on the eve of the 2022 election. They engaged in blatantly unconstitutional political censorship and disproportionately targeted Bolsonaro and his supporters. Journalists and online influencers were forced to seek political asylum in other countries. It wasn't enough to make a mockery out of our constitution, they also had to brag about it in public. They actually went to public events to showboat about their accomplishments. "We defeated Bolsonarism!" -- Barroso, an "impartial" supreme court judge-king.

      Perhaps you forgot to answer the question.

        There's no point in answering a question whose premises are invalid. The question was predicated on Bolsonaro being responsible for it. He wasn't. He straight up tried to stop those people. There were lots of protests prior to that so called "attack". I saw him trying to call them all off. Numerous times. People protested anyway. Because they understood that Brazil was not a democracy. He is a coward. He did literally nothing while the judge-kings were silencing his supporters with no due process. While people were going to jail in order to protect everything he came to represent, he was in the USA enjoying a vacation as if nothing was happening. He betrayed every single person who ever supported him from the very beginning. And yet people are still assembling in the streets to protest the political unelected supreme court. Whatever Bolsonaro may or may not have started, it's bigger than him now. His current usefulness is limited to the fact Trump apparently likes him enough to sanction the brazilian despots who are persecuting him.
