A typical American Western scenario disturbed the peace and quiet of the people of Florianopolis last Tuesday with the violence of two robbers. Not just for robbing a store on the city’s main shopping street. First of all, because of scenes of violence, car theft, successive collisions with pedestrians and clashes with police with the use of firearms.

This unfortunate episode has several readings. The first reflects the heroic intervention of a plainclothes policeman, followed by the effective action of the military police and the decisive intervention of the municipal guard.

A skilled job that brings with it a very clear message about the gangsterism that is at work in Greater Florianopolis. Here the military police act harshly and in accordance with the strictness of the law.

Also noteworthy is the responsiveness of NDTV journalism in its instant coverage of the event: within minutes, two teams were mobilized to report live on Balanço Geral, one directly from Beira Mar Norte, where the main perpetrator died, and the other from the city of Florianópolis. A terminal that fixes the assistance provided by the SAMU to those who were hit by a car.

This incident is added to even more tragic ones that are the result of vague and Jurassic legislation approved by the National Congress, with the omission or complicity of legal and political institutions.

And also with this sense of impunity and insecurity shamefully created by Federal Supreme Court ministers by encouraging violence and insecurity in practice.

When the STF issues a decree with a stroke of the pen to release known and notorious corrupt gangsters, it encourages new generations of criminal activity. Teaches you what to steal.
