So far, 152 people were killed; there were 293 atacks (82 buses, 56 cops, 17 banks and others) and 124 people were arrested. That's more dead people in a week than in Bagda, where there is still actual "war".
The good news is that, yesterday night, there were no attacks whatsoever in the city, and we're all hoping that they'll be over soon.
I wish all the best to the people in São Paulo, especially my father, my stepmother and my siblings. I don't know what I'd possibly do if I ever lost one of them.
I don't think this kind of situation will happen in Rio, where I live nowadays, but, with Rio, you never know. One day you don't have anything to worry about (relatively speaking, of course), on the other you look around and realize the whole commerce is shut due to the Big Boys that control the drugs traffic, and, therefore, control the city.

Call me a coward, but all of this just makes me wish even more to one day get out of here and go live my life somewhere else.

But... There isn't any army here Lu... The governor refused all the army support, to doesn't make the situation appears worst than really was(sic)...
But now everything are ok, and we are walking through the city like nothing happened... :P
And it's strange to ready about Rio in English... I don't know why, but it's really not commom xD
And live abroad isn't a cowardky thing, you just go when you have better opportunities and things like that. And we can always come back and go to another places :)
I miss you a lot, little Lu!
Kisses =**********
I got that completely wrong. I will edit the post.
I had to post in English, because a friend of mine from Ohio and another one from Netherland both asked me for news on the matter. They got worried about me.
I miss you, too. =*****
And ohhh you're most definetly not a coward. If something awful were to happen in my country, I might feel like that too. I probably would too, but I do love my province a whole lot, so I don't know how I could leave, but wanting to leave is most definetly not cowardly at all *hugs*
It's not just about this, but about the whole system that affects this country. I feel like I should try and make it better, but... My love for Europe is just too big. Oh, by the way. I'm going up there in the end of the year. May stop by Netherland. Maybe we could... meet? *grins*
Well, you can't change everything. I know I always wish that I could change things like that, but it's so hard and it definetly doesn't come from just one person. It needs support, people supporting it, in order for something like that to work. But if you love Europe, then maybe you should just come here.
Ohhh and if you stop by the Netherlands, I'd love to meet up. I'd totally be nervous, but I'd love to meet up for sure :D
Oh, I know. But, anyway, one can always try to do one's little part. I want to come to Europe to study, somaday. The only problem is getting a visa to stay long enough. Even though is seems like it's easier nowadays, with the EU and all.
I'll let you know. Where do you live, exactly?
It's up in the north of my country.
I know a lot of people come to Europe to study, so to me it feels like there should be a good way of getting a long enough visa, but I have no idea if that is in fact true. I do hope so, because if you want to study here you definetly need it.
Now I can see...
You better give our lucky back your fucking thief!!!!
hehehehehe
miss you sooo much!
I miss you, Lu. ._.
My words, exactly. All my life I heard that I´m not a patriot for want to live elsewhere and I really don´t care about it. I love my country and my city, but I want what´s best for me.
You're not a coward. The only reason you would go away from Brazil would be because you loved the place so much - like England.

*laughs* You know, you're not wrong. I mean... sometimes I feel like I just belong in England. It's probably my favourite country in the world.
You should come to Ohio. Nothing ever happens here.
You people just have to talk to Christy. *grins*I do want to visit you, someday, you know? We have to get drunk together, say stupid things and laugh. *grins*
