Fuck off Brazil



There have been protests in Brazil following the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes and calls for the Police officers involved to be arrested.
So lets go over this again...

1. Menezes (illegally living in the UK) was seen leaving a suspect house that was under surveillance.
2. When confronted by police he jumped a ticket barrier and ran onto a tube train.
3. Shoot to kill policy: Armed police have been receiving training on how to handle suspected suicide bombers, and part of that training is that they shoot the suspect more than once in the head.

Faced with the possibility that he could be a suicide bomber they killed him.
Regrettably he was innocent, but hardly the fault of the police officers.
I only wish Brazil showed as much concern about its starving, its homeless and the 74yr old American nun that was gunned down in February.
Or maybe show a little concern about all the homosexuals and transvestites that the Brazilian police are torturing and murdering.
Or maybe the murder of a Brazilian priest who campaigned for the families of 29 people allegedly killed by rogue police officers.

and so on that note...FUCK OFF Brazil!
