Grateful dead

BRAZIL’S richest and most populous state suffered a third day of fear and chaos yesterday during a violent campaign by the largest criminal network in the country.

The attacks, in which 81 people have died, are aimed at forcing the state government to back down in its effort to break the gang’s control over the state prison system. A series of drive-by shootings has targeted law enforcement officials and a state-wide rebellion has engulfed 80 prisons in São Paulo.

It's things like this that make me feel grateful for being in Singapore... and then there's this. Ha ha.
