Well this website doesnt make justice to the proportion things have took.
Everyone I know has been told to stay at home by someone with police contacts or by police directly, violence has been ultra high since sunday, gangsters organized and started doing terrorist attacks against the city directly, today they said they would attack the wealthy area.
Police on the other hand, told everyone to stay home today (unofficially) because they are gonna kill everyone (hopefully the badguys only)
I cant leave my house and everyone is scared shitless to be on the street.
Colleges, schools jobs everything is closing and everyone is expecting the police to do an ultimate showdown.
all cops have been called to the street and BOPE is operating nonstop for the last 80 hours in the most dangerous favela ever, the Complexo do Alemao http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexo_do_Alemao
Shit just got real bigtime guys, I except a red sun tomorrow.
This video has some visual explanations even if you dont understand the audio
whoa wtf!? i know a family that helps with a church and orphanage in one of the slums down there, hope this kinda blows over and nothing serious happens :/
"Police on the other hand, told everyone to stay home today (unofficially) because they are gonna kill everyone (hopefully the badguys only)" wow. This sounds like a very tense situation. If it were a movie it would be really cool, though it's real life, it must be terrifying. I hope that all goes well.
how much in danger are you? could it happen that bullets start flying through your walls or something or are you at least a little bit further away from the most dangeours zones?
Dont know how much you could take out of it, but this is the Brazilian website for the situation, has some vids of burned vehicles and they say that its 14 dead already this wednesday and its still kinda early.
Well im no direct danger as long as i stay at home, I live at the 20th floor of a building with decent security in a wealthy area, not really the kind of place they would attack, but its not really out of the way if they want to attack wealthy areas
I fear for the people in the streets, and what sucks most is that I wanted to go out today
So the people in poverty, shafted by the government, are rallying together to rise up against the rich minority? I have a few well-off Brazilian friends that tell me that the whole system is bullshit and its nearly impossible to get out of poverty.
Does this have anything to do with the global financial crisis? Maybe we finally reached the point of en-mass mental breakdowns, and many things that used to be the norm yesteryear, now don't make any more sense.
No, these gangster burn busses and other vehicles of mass transportations screwing the poor guy who just want to get to work, here in Brazil poor people dont have gungs lying around, gangsters do.
This is not a revolution against government, this is an attack against the state by a organized mafia who is losing territory.
they are actively doing that right now, but they can only do it with a 20hour long major shootout in which they either kill most of the muscle of the mafia or its bosses or both, and they are doing this right now!
Bope invaded the biggest and most dangerous favela in the world, dont that mean anything ?
Damn, how big is this mafia to be able to threaten such a city. Thats some serious stuff. I wonder how it will be handled knowing that Brazil wants to cleanup its image for the world cup and the olympics.

Police Intelligence believes this is the union of several different mafias acting coordinated

I know I already answered you but let me add since you double posted, they have at this moment almost 40000 thousand man on the street trying to order the chaos.
And they are unable to do so, unless they are given permission to attack.
The bad guys are many, are everywhere, hidden under the disguise of society, the police cant be everywhere, and until they are given orders to seek and destroy (which our politicians seem to be OKing today) they cant really stop the chaos.
