"THREE foreign tourists using an Uber cab in Rio de Janeiro were kidnapped and taken into one of the city’s most notorious favelas, it was reported last night.
Officers from the BOPE special-ops unit of the Military Police were said to be on an operation in Complexo do Lins, in Rio’s north zone, to rescue the tourists."
"Street robberies have increased by 81% compared to the same time last year, while murders are up a worrying 38%.
Paralympic athletes Liesl Tesch and Sarah Ross were mugged at gunpoint at a bus stop in the city."
The waters are full of trash and pollution. The city itself is full of corruption and crime. The mosquitos deliver a wonderful coqtail of viruses and diseases. What a wonderful place to have the Olympics... Why the fuck Brazil got it in the first place is mindblowing. I didnt think anything could get worse than Sochi, but here Rio is proving us wrong.
