Olympic Games (Brazil 2016), Good or Bad?!?!

Hi there,

First of all please bear with me, this is my first story around here and I'm not used to write a lot so if you see something wrong let me know and I'll fix it.

My name is Elias but in the crypto world everyone knows me as "coderabbit", Developer, coffee addicted and puzzle solver in my spare time(that's rare... lol).

So I've decided to make my first post here, about a subject the have been messing with my head and my nerves for the past months here in brazil... The Olympic Games.

Some people around the world says, it's great but is it?!

Let's look the sports side, it's a great competition, and to be honest with you a love some of the competitions :D

But unfortunately I have to see the real(bad) side for my country as well and trust me is as bad as it sounds and sometimes even worse.

Last year we got here an outbreak of the zica virus + Dengue Fever + public security it's just a nightmare the just didn't end and still growing.

Most of the world don't see but here an idea of the type of news I see on the daily basis over here.

  • A guy(crazy random guy) tries to kill a Ana Hickmann(celebrity in brazil) here and her brother in law shot and kill the guy to avoid him killing her - What the justice in brazil does!?!?! simple they charge the brother in law with murder(and not the self-defense ones), plain and simple murder - That just states one thing if you're a good person you have the right to get killed and if you tried to defend yourself you will get arrested. hahaha(sarcastic) would love to say the that was a joke but it's not.
    :(

  • Some of the brazilian people say that the police doesn't do anything but as far as I can see they can't do much since the justice in brazil will release almost instantaneously the thief/robber/killer if they are not caught in the act.

These are two examples of what I think the Olympics is a risk for all the athletes and delegations.

By now you probably thinking, man you just pissed and is just overreacting, sure I can see your point but et me show yu the picture or the Guanabara bay where some of the water competitions are scheduled to be placed.

So while the population is left at her own luck the politicians and big contractors are just getting rich and rich.

This just sickens me

I'm truly sorry to unload all my frustration in this post but I had to share my 2cent's with the community.

But no worries here is a Survival Guide for Tourists lol


Just to close everything, right about now you thinking..."man you don't love your country... yes I do I'm just not gonna be one more sheep in this madness the country has become with all this BS around politics and everything else."

Wish you all a great week!!! And Steem Rocks!!!!
