Dozens of Robberies Caught on Video in Rio - GoFuckYourself.com

A video emerged on YouTube recently that's causing quite a buzz. It appears to show nearly thirty robberies or attempted robberies in Rio de Janeiro-in broad daylight! The unverified video, came along with the following description:

Robbed, stolen, pickpocketing, brazil... As much as I love my country it's sad that these idiots are spoiling it for the tourists. I hope the majority of people do not become victims and act more careful.

It's actually not a new video-it's been making the rounds for several months- but it's shocking and informative nevertheless. It shows mostly young males (in some cases very young boys) grabbing wallets and bags from people passing through a busy intersection in Rio.

In one instance, a two thugs appear to grab the necklace right off a man's neck, attacking him several times before they successfully get what they're after. In some cases, fearful looking individuals just hand over their things to the robbers to avoid confrontations. A couple of the brazen would-be thieves even try to jump up to grab items being held by unsuspecting passengers on a city bus. In one segment, a young boy, probably no older than 10 years old, follows a group of pedestrians very closely and then grabs the man's wallet and runs.

There's no sign of law enforcement in any of these videos (although at one point a man is spotted walking around with a firearm) and it seems like most people just continue on their way, hardly noticing the crime in their midst. In other words, these street robberies are business as usual in Rio. A few of the victims do fight back. A couple of them slugged the robbers or refused to give up their wallets and backpacks. It didn't look as if any of them were armed, but it's hard to tell from the video.

Again, this video is unverified and there's really no way to tell when it was shot (although the buses are clearly marked "Rio"), but there's no denying there's a crime problem in Rio. The New York Times reported this week that there were 10,000 robberies in the city in the month of May alone. And four U.S. swimmers were reportedly robbed at gunpoint, so even our Olympians aren't safe there.

You mean when the city has huge population of certain people?
I do not think that happened in London or Beijing.
Must not be tourists' fault.

You mean STUPID tourists who didn't do their homework about petty crime in Rio.

They get what they deserve which is to be ripped off by a 14 year old.

Whoever made this better be careful - Brasilian government doesn't like this info getting out.

Funny thing is, the rest of Brasil is not like the twin cities. Rural Brasil is basically like the rural US, except with cooler birds.

Yes, SP and RdJ, and rural, dummy

"The ranking only takes into account cities with a population of more than 300,000, and doesn’t include deaths in combat zones or cities with unavailable data "

santiago de chile is similar, now population is doing "public justice" beating the criminals on the street and with that the robbery rate is going down a bit...

I guess in Bolivia is legal, to beat down a criminal on the street

Perhaps, they should of had overwhelming police presence, to protect visitors ? This is going to haunt them for years to come
