Re: Very sad news from Brazil

Fortunately nobody got killed. The driver's lawyers declared that it was
self-defense. He claims that the cyclists were attacking him and his 15
years old son.

There will be some Critical Masses for Peace all week long throughout
Brazil:

   - Today: Sao Paulo
   - Tuesday: Porto Alegre
   - Wednesday: Rio de Janeiro
   - Thursday: Brasilia / Curitiba
   - Friday: Aracaju
   - and probably others...


The CM on brazilian embassies is an interesting idea. Besides this simbolic
episode, last week, a report showed that, in five of the brazilian states,
car "accidents" kills more people than homicides:
