not.
this article - further proof that the media are playin on my our sympathy towards that unfortunate brazilian's dirt poor family - raises a pair of glaring point's that are totally illogical. way beyond comprehension:
1. the parent's were heavily sedated when they met the police chief
2. sample the followin bollocks:
Mrs de Menezes added: "The policemen must have been blind. My son was white. The man they were after was a black man"
ta muchly mrs de wotsit, you've just intensified my prejudice towards latin american's. in general. and btw, how come you were drugged when knowin full well you's were meeting the englishmen?
moreover, if anyone thinks that the de wotsits' sob stories would move everyone on this blue marble, i'd say that they only serve to disrupt anti-terrorist operations. as well as sowing distrust towards the copper's amongst the public at large.
and contrary to popular opinion, their lawyer's preyed on their vulnerability and naivete to a certain extent. nor the remark implying only black's are capable of terrorism was uttered out of sheer ignorance.
pity, the only thing that's admirable about brazil is the footy.
