President called "killer" and "trash" by angry crowd in capital

[kpete]

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was abused by onlookers in the capital Brasilia after going out for a hotdog and drink on Saturday, in a video seen by CNN.

In the video, Bolsonaro eats and drinks while onlookers yell "killer" and "trash" in the background. The President is surrounded by a security team and at one point turns and wags his finger at the crowd.

Brazil became the country with the second-highest number of cases in the world over the weekend, with daily five-figure increases pushing it above Russia and the United Kingdom.

On Sunday, Brazil reported 15,813 new cases of the coronavirus -- pushing its total to at least 362,000. So far, at least 22,000 people have died in the country.

He'll only have brought it upon himself.

4. I Prefer The Hunger Games Approach

I hope he's beaten to death by an angry mob.

7. I never saw The Hunger Games

Ceauşescu only escaped the angry mob when the military grabbed him first. Considering the conditions in Romania at the time, I think he got off easy compared to what the mob would have done to him if they had been given the chance.

About 15 years ago, the Romanian government invited me for a brief look into what he had grabbed for himself by confiscating gold from the people for 30 years. Even King Midas would have screamed "enough already!" before he had gotten halfway through.

5. Bolsonaro means Trump in Brazilian

As long as they’re safe, both are willing to do nothing while a pandemic ravages their nations.
