Brazil's "Capital First Command", Brazil's most notorious gang organization, has organized and orchestrated numerous violent attacks on police stations and prisons since its founding day, killing hundreds of people.
Mention the "First Command of the Capital", its birth is related to the Brazilian Prison of Taubate. In the early 1990s, Taubaté prison was considered the safest prison in Brazil, and many "problem prisoners" who were difficult to tame in ordinary prisons were sent here for a period of time as punishment. On August 31, 1993, 8 "problem prisoners" were transferred from other prisons, and they played a football match in the courtyard of this prison, and through the friendships they formed during the game, they formed an organization, which became the "First Headquarters of the Capital". It was thought that Taobat Prison could tame these "problem prisoners" through strict management, but the result was counterproductive, and Taobat Prison became a "training camp" for the bloodiest gangsters.
Because the "First Headquarters of the Capital" has branches throughout the brazilian prisons, and its main members control criminal activities such as drugs, arms, kidnapping, and bank robbery in society, the energy and destructive power are extremely high.
On February 9, 2001, the group orchestrated the largest prison riot in Brazilian history. The riot took place at The Calandilu prison in the state of São Paulo. The prison authorities planned to relocate 10 of the group's leaders to other prisons, causing riots among the inmates. The inmates smashed open all the cells, quickly seized several offices and watchtowers, and held hostage some 7,000 visitants and prison staff. Around the same time, riots of varying scales occurred in 22 prisons in Brazil. The prison courtyard was filled with slogans such as "peace," "justice, and freedom," protesting the transfer of their leaders to other prisons, where some set fires and beat each other, with hundreds of sheets of blood hanging from the windows of their cells. Several prisoners dragged out two bloody corpses from a cell, and the blood flowing from the corpses left two long "blood roads" in the courtyard, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
Because the riots were premeditated, many of the prisoners' relatives also gathered outside the prison in solidarity with the prisoners' actions, waving banners that read "We need peace" and tearfully pleading with the police not to shoot and suppress the riots. When they saw the heavily armed police preparing to rush into the prison, they protested loudly to the police and even threw stones.
Although the riots were resolved peacefully with the assistance of a civil society organization, the "First Headquarters of the Capital" has since embarked on the evil path of openly resisting prison management.
On 14 June 2005, the "First Headquarters of the Capital" organized and planned a riot in the Prison of Wenceslau in São Paulo. In order to clean up the internal traitors, the organization beheaded 5 prisoners held in the "safe cell" suspected of being traitors, hung the heads of the deceased on the walls of the prison to demonstrate, and asked the prison authorities to transfer prisoners who had served two-thirds of their sentences in the prison to other prisons so that they could be released on parole as soon as possible. The prisoners also took 20 prison guards hostage in order to blackmail the prison authorities into complying with their demands.
After a day of negotiations, although the riots subsided, the violence of the "First Headquarters of the Capital" was not over. From 12 to 16 May 2006, the group orchestrated a wider riot in the prison. On May 14, in retaliation for the measures taken against them by the São Paulo police, the group joined forces to unleash a new round of violent attacks on police officers, including police stations, patrol cars, and bars frequented by police officers after work, killing 40 police officers and four passers-by. At the same time, there were riots in 51 prisons across the country, more than a third of the total number of prisons in Brazil, resulting in 133 deaths, making it the deadliest violent attack in Brazil's history. The whole of Brazil is also shrouded in the horrors of prison riots.
Finally, the riots were suppressed by the combined efforts of brazilian armed police and special forces. But these ongoing riots amounted to a "civil war" that terrified São Paulo's 18 million citizens, many of whom left their homes in fear and went to work.
Over the past 30 years, brazil's prisoner population has increased eightfold to about 810,000, making it the third-highest number of prisoners in the world. Because gangs are rampant here, the proportion of "highly dangerous criminals" such as armed drug trafficking, homicide, and robbery is frighteningly high. Due to the lack of funds and insufficient investment in training, many prison managers are seriously under-staffed, and the editors are not only undertrained, but also have low incomes and low morale, which can be described as "neither daring to manage nor be beaten". As long as the soil of Brazilian society continues to breed gangs and vicious crimes, and to send dangerous prisoners to overcrowded and chaotic Brazilian prisons, the "bloody cycle" will continue endlessly. How to end this chaos is a huge problem facing Brazil and other Latin American countries.
Compared with the chaos in the West and the rule of China, there are many feelings. There are still many trolls on the Internet slandering the socialist road, so let's take a good look at the Third World countries in the West. Especially in Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay and other countries that are close to the United States, the national economy has been pinched to death by the US imperialists, and the people cannot only engage in drug trafficking and criminal syndicates. Without socialism, our country would never have achieved as much today, at best a big India. It is believed that after the launch of the 003 aircraft carrier, China National Transport can set sail.
