Has the OP actually denied that Brazil has problems? because it seems to me that a lot of people on this thread are imagining it.

I mean, what does the country having crime has to do with this people making a mess and making a completely false story? Of course, crime, as in lots of other Latin American countries is a highly media inflated problem, especially for foreigners. Brazil already has a lot of bad press with stuff that actually happens, adding to it with lies is pretty awful.

And lol at the guy saying that only Syria and Congo are worst places to host olympic games. I would normally take the comment as an hyperbolic joke, but it's guineapig we are talking about, so it's probably a serious post
Its hyperbole but I think it's fair to say that rio would not have been given the Olympics had the committee known about the problems the country would be facing right now but alas hindsight is 20/20

Edu, people like Pandaguineapig, Badger, and Lochte will never admit the Olympics in Brazil are a success.  Clearly all the gloom and doom reports prior to the Olympics were overblown.  Every Olympics has their problems.  Personally all the events I have watched have been perfect.  I didn't notice any problems.

The only narrative people like that are willing to accept about Brazil is about crime, corruption, disease, etc.  It's the reason we have the BLM movement here in America.  A black man gets shot by the cops and immediately you have a chorus of the usual suspects saying he definitely deserved it because... black guy.

Whoa. Whoa! WHOA! That's MORE than a little much of an extrapolation of what I said.

Well seeing as how this is a poster who managed to extrapolate from a post I made pointing out how stupid it is to cite the Oklahoma City bombing as an example of Christian terrorism to accuse me of being a Holocaust denier that's not too surprising.

First of all Brazil is a plurality white country. It's actually whiter than Texas and California.

Second as much of idiots as these guys were, they were actually treated far MORE harshly because of their status than they would be otherwise. If they were just random idiot tourists they'd likely just get put on the first plane back to the US and not allowed to enter the country again. Or maybe not even that if they paid a relatively small fine.

Oh and Al's first post was the best response.
