“Video shows Brazilian car riders killing motorcycle thugs by running them over with cars, as their government allowed such killings to control these robberies”
What FACTLY found
The Brazilian government has not passed such a law. The Brazilian government does not officially allow its citizens to kill bike-riding thugs by running them over with a car. As early as 1988, Brazil abolished capital punishment (death penalty) for all non-military crimes. The viral video shows clips of multiple robberies on the streets of Brazil.
