In other words, is this situation a temporary inflammation of gang-violence or are these attacks symptoms of a growing systemic problem? | ||

I'm just curious as to whether or not we're seeing a similar escalation in Brazil as we are seeing in Mexico. In other words, is this situation a temporary inflammation of gang-violence or are these attacks symptoms of a growing systemic problem? Actually Brazilians from Rio could teach Mexicans on how to try to live in this kinda situation. However, this kind of violence is more localized in Rio. São Paulo city is very violent too, but in a more discreet way than Rio. It's been like that for a really really long time. It's just the shit hit the fan again. It's not the first or second time. It will certain not be the last. Answering your question I would say both. It's an occasional outburst of generalized violence that happens times to times and it's a symptom of a growing problem caused by the government and the drug lords and weapon dealers. | ||
