    I get the feeling whoever did this has ties to the police dept... either that or Sao Paulo's police chief is really homophobic.

    Probably the most accurate. If the police rule this as a suicide, it obviously is linked to them one way or another.

    I'm no expert on the subject and my knowledge is limited at best, but I think I'd be right in saying this is the first time someone has committed suicide by pulling their teeth out and battering themselves to death.

    My money's on this being hushed up so there's no awkward questions asked about safety, it is a World Cup year.

    Hopefully brazil has a process where the family can appeal to the attorney general or get the prosecutor to file charges regardless of the "protect and serve" authority. That's so outrageous.

    If not i'm all for some street justice.

    I hate reading stories like this. Some really cruel people in the world.

    With that said, it seems the reports were initially a suicide but the police changed that after seeing his wallet stolen, his teeth pulled, and his head bashed. How they didn't come to the conclusion that it was foul play in the first place, I don't know.

    The thing I don't get is...yeah I could see how the PD there could be homophobic, but defending Neo-Nazis/skinheads?? Didn't the whole world agree a number of decades(and millions of deaths)ago that Nazis(Neo- or otherwise) fall squarely into the bad things category?

    I've not read much about this story, but where did the skinheads come from exactly? Surely if they know a group of skinheads did it (as opposed to just any other random group of people) then they must have enough to say it wasn't suicide?

    Actually..you're right...the article does say skinheads in the introduction but doesn't go on to mention witnesses. Just that he was found dead from blunt force head trauma, missing teeth, and phone+wallet stolen. It doesn't give much info other than that. I mean it's still horrible either way, but were there witnesses or not?

    Whoever is trying to cover this up is pretty stupid. I can think of a much more effective story, but I won't type it, because it's effed up. In any case, the holes should be looked into. There is definitely some corruption high up.

    This is the best viewpoint, LGBT or no.

    But the whole it's a suicide thing is very suspect.

    It's totally laughable that any legitimate law enforcement agency came to this conclusion. There are a lot of ways to commit suicide(unfortunately) but I've never heard of anyone bludgeoning themselves to death with a steel pipe and/or kicking their own head in.

    Clearly there are no corrupt officials in law enforcement.

    This is a terrible thing to hear.

    What kind of fools allows this kind of country to hold sporting events with police involvement in torturing people?

    Ignorance of the truth is ignorance of people being perceptive. In other words they willfully believe that people will trust the story despite it being total nonsense.
