Can amateur journalism bring justice to Rio's favelas?

• hcarvalhoalves 12y ago
  Bullshit. There's no lack of reporting, TV channels feed on these breaking news daily. People are aware there's police executions, and they really don't care. The population is fed up with crime. There are news anchors cheering on live TV on footages of robbers dying on shootouts. What will bring justice to Rio is stopping the hypocrisy of attributing the complete failure on crime control to some external factor, like the media.

    Do you really believe it? If you visit one of the major brazilian news website right now, you're going to find a lot of crimes commited by people from favelas. And, for a straight example, nothing about the brazilians in the HSBC list. How much you think this scenario of violence and negligence against the poor people would change if the media elect these rich people as the main problem to Brazil, not the drug dealers?

      The main problem of Brazil it's impunity. Only 5% of the crimes are solved, and even with those 5%, there's so many appeals you can make that, on the "best" scenario, people will be jailed for 5 years tops. Crime is worthy in Brazil.

        You forgot about the other thousands that are executed before go to trial. It surpass, by far, 100% of your number.
