ezs note:  This is... appalling.  One person is slain every 36 hours.  Please, if you live in Brazil, or if you go there for vacation or business, and you saw what happened, report it to the police IMMEDIATELY!

Also, tell your representative in Congress this record is beyond reprehensible.  Personally, I think the Olympic Games should not be held there until the police do a MUCH better job.

I hope you agree.
