[@mchiareli]

Skate culture in Brazil is huge, lots of spots in São Paulo, no one will mess with you if you skating with a group in these spots, but don’t be fooled, it’s a dangerous place and you don’t want to see it, hope you had fun.

This part of the city is really really dangerous, for pety crimes, cellphone/bags/wallet getting stolen is more common around the world type of danger, crackhead area crime. And with 10 skateboards in hand with friends they dont mess with you, only organized crime will fuck you up but you need a lot of gear to attract them if they show up and you dont have a friend to bail you out, nothing you can do. The way you did it with friends, is fine, you need to be alert that some foreigners dont view as safe, but most street wise people walk around everywhere alert, so ye is normal.

People are saying that SP isn’t the dangerous city, let me be honest. It depends on who you are. If you’re Black, you’re screwed in São Paulo. 12:30 This is the municipal guard. This entity was originally created without firearms, only using tasers, to protect public property, like statues, parks, etc. Now we see municipal guards walking around with rifles in their hands, man. The Brazilian police are among the most lethal in the world. In São Paulo, the last time drug traffickers killed a police officer in a shootout, the police went into the favela and carried out a massacre with the endorsement of the state governor. So he is right to use that title for the video. He’s talking about the reality of skateboarding, and skateboarding is a sport from the periferia here. He’s telling it like it is from the skater’s perspective, and he’s correct in doing so. Now, if you want to choose the perspective of Faria Lima or Pinheiros, that’s fine. For you who are disagreeing with the video title, violence will just be about phone theft, not police killings.
