A front-runner in Brazil's presidential election, Jair Bolsonaro, has been stabbed during a campaign rally.

The far-right politician was attacked in the midst of a crowd in the south-eastern state of Minas Gerais.

He underwent surgery for injuries to his intestines and is expected to recover, hospital officials said.

The controversial politician, who has outraged many in Brazil with racist and homophobic comments, has performed strongly in recent polls.

Is it a good thing that people are attempting to assassinate far right politicians?

"Would preventing the holocaust really be such a good thing?"

[Video Games]

They kill people over soccer games so yeah why not?

[united]

he’s a racist and homophobe, so I’m not surprised that he’s on the right. and also to answer your question, sure

[Kaleredar]

Far-right politician in Brazil?

I wonder what minority they've chosen to blame all their problems on.

[Doctor Amadeus]

In my opinion yes, much better than millions of other people dying in meaningless wars.

[NED funded]

A knife?? What is this pussy Europe??

[arandomuser]

Im sorry but, how can someone create racial tension in brazil, they are all none white, and they barely accepted any refugees?

[nymphetsss]

Violence shouldnt be the answer.

Are you an Oracle?

There are many different ethnic groups in Brazil, and Bolsonaro is suspected of making racist comments against black Brazilians.

You're always making predictions Theo cmon

If you mean this guy specifically, pretty much all of them to an extent, but mostly homosexuals.

The guy who stabbed Bolsonaro has facebook posts endorsing Maduro and he is a die hard Lula supporter, which is a far left brazilian politician. Lula is in jail right now for crimes of corruption and money laundering, he's all the time attacking brazilian judiciary, instituitions, calling for media censorship (he uses the euphemism "regulation") and spreading instability throughout the country. He also supports Maduro, Daniel Ortega and all left wing dictatorships in latin america.

Bolsonaro gained his popularity by being the anti-Lula, anti-establishment guy, and as such, he is suffering all the kinds of attacks. To give an example, the general attorney charged Bolsonaro with racism because he called a black guy fat. Yeah, calling a black people fat is now racism. This fact was used exhaustively by media to destroy his reputation.

So yeah, that's the tolerant left people here defends.

Basically people here are saying is ok for people who defends Maduro to stab political adversaries for the sake of democracy. This is mmo-champ in a Nutshell.

Also, the police arrested 2 more guys involved in the stabbing, and they suspect there's another person. So thats a political crime and the action was clearly coordinated.

But hey, mmo-champ defends political crime and thats fine, because Bolsonaro is Hittler reincarnated. Maybe we should start to kill reincarnated versions of Stalin.

Beware, because all this red trash will jump out and say "Stalin did nothing wrong" or "Soviet Union was not a true communist state" or "Soviet Union was not really socialist" :P.

Also Hitler...from what i know he was a national socialist.

As for the topic itself, well the guy is a politician so thats the risk for him that some mad man who doesn't like his view can try to attack him physically so.

[arandomuser]

Yeah only white people can be racist!

well historically, it has only been white civilizations, and fairly recently that have had any laws for exterminating other races on a global scale.

It's pretty scary that people defend violence. I guess if someone wanted to murder a person with impunity they'd just have to label them far right and it would be perfectly justified. It makes sense. Anyone right of Lenin must be Hitler anyway.

[Themius]

It’s too bad he survived. The guy is vile and can easily send the country into genocide.

I don’t condone violence like this but I consider them to be happy accidents.

Well, anything that might seriously upend their project is a threat and has to be annihilated.
