Rio thieves strike faster, higher, stronger

But the International Olympic Committee says it has no regrets about awarding the Games to Rio.

Easy to say from their safe-haven. Wait until one of them gets mugged.

wait untill the weekend

I wouldn't go there for FREE.

If there were a medal tally for muggings at knifepoint, kidnappings and assaults, I believe us Aussies and out Kiwi mates would be out in front, sadly. We seem to be soft targets for the Brazilian crims.

. . . . don't forget about the sex crimes. Have already been occurring in the athletic village. It might get uglier. . . Just sayin'

And there is the water pollution and mosquitos.

“It’s important that the Olympics isn’t just a little European or American club, it needs to be spread around the world,” the spokesman added. “It needs to have this universal feel.”

Yeah, but I think we can do with that without sacrificing the safety of athletes and tourists. I'm pretty sure not all non-European and non-American countries have a habit of stealing or mugging people.

As said, they shouldn`t focus the security over an unlikely terrorist attack but over the foreigner people there. Pray for this Olympics to end with the less body count and the less rapes.

Just watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeAsF35HeNI

And looking at the terraces we can see that many have very few spectators!

Seriously, how did Brazil even get the nod to host considering all the problems they've had leading up to and still continuing till this day?
