Morrow posted:London is one of the few modern Olympics that occurred in a first world country with responsible governance and an affluent population. Also less ostentatious than most modern Olympics.

Lid posted:Coincidentally London was suggested frequently as an alternative from their excellent 2010 Olympic infrastructure still being available except something seems to have happened in England recently and that's no longer an option. This would be a good thing, because some of the tourists would spread out into rural shitholes and cause racist heads to explode.

joepinetree posted:The minister of sport for the interim government said that security is outstanding and nothing has happened to people who were out at appropriate times in appropriate places. The concept that near the venue for a major international event full of tourists everyone should be able to go out at any time seems to be unknown.

Dias posted:I'm not taking it as a personal attack, man. I'm just baffled at someone saying "this is a literal mugging anyway" despite loads of evidence pointing in the other direction, and I can only assume it's a "lol brazil" thing. gently caress, I live thousands of miles AWAY from Rio anyway, gently caress cariocas and Flamengo and Copacabana. But dude, if "vandals got held up; paid for damages to avoid the police" is such an insane situation for you as an AMERICAN, I dunno what to say. Maybe it's the gun that shocked you, but most official accounts are saying "held at gunpoint" was a vast overstatement. In civilised society mall cops have the authority to stand their fat rear end in your way while swearing at you for shoplifting or breaking a door or something. It's the actual cops that point guns at you (in moderately civilised countries) or just go and arrest you without involving guns (in fully civilised countries).

rscott posted:You don't pull a gun on someone unless you are willing to shoot them, and if you're willing to shoot someone over some petty property damage that makes you pretty messed up. Being an idiot and a dick is not a capital offense. That's the point everyone is trying to make. also that private security guards hired by random businesses are not the police and don't have even remotely comparable authority to actual police (except in the mad max wasteland of south amerikkka I guess)
