Bodies Of Murdered British Journalist And Researcher Recovered in Amazon
You have white skin then you become a target in a third world country. Should have been more prepared. Bodyguards etc. RIP to that dude
The murderers were working for corporations. Indigenous people are threatened always
Corporations = factions and maybe prospectos
Fly high, earth soldier/angel. Your legacy speaks for itself.
Aww dang so he wasn’t living with them? ://
Oh nvm I thought this was about the Rockefeller dude
Wow, calling a huge and important preservation work an “adventure”, what president 👏.
He cares nothing for the rainforest. He only wants money from the “progress” of deforestation, mining, and drugs.
@Alicia Taylor You are so wrong about that. he dosnt get “money” from deforestation, mining and expecialy drugs. The amazon area is a battle royale betwen 3 major factions. Plus, the prospectors that are influenced by Lula to mine ores and etc
When u step on a bee
The Brazilian president and cabinet is honestly trash. They need to do to there president the same thing Sri Lanka has done. It’s time for people to start taking action!
Cant blame the president, blame the previous governaments that molded how Brazil is now
When you devote your life to the most dangerous careers as a journalist who refuses to mind your own business and chooses to gravitate towards danger instead, especially somewhere your not even from. Sad
I don’t think this is that simple
Sounds like hero blaming to me
@Bailey Logan your right, its not that simple.. Which explains why being a journalist is very dangerous.
@Alicia Taylor lol. Call it what you want.. But maybe one day you will pause and reflect on this reply of you defending one of the most riskiest careers in the world. Its okay that you feel this way about someone’s opinion. Trust me i understand
I saw the video of them getting killed lol
If you want the video tell me
Sad,they was doing God work and then evil said not here they not.
Sad the people who killed them did it for the money, was always done in the dark,always comes to light
REST EASY TO THE 2 ANGLES,YOUR WORK WILL CONTINUE 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
Gangsters and their enablers in the government and law enforcement (in all countries) should be hunted down and eliminated.
“They we’re on an adventure that is not recommended” ….if that isn’t telling …
Wow, seeing indigenous people like that protesting is very heartbreaking. I don’t think people realize how much it takes for them to trust outsiders like that
That’s not your territory
That’s GREATNESS y’all. That’s literally what GREATNESS a looks like when you pass . Wow!
The President : their own fault. they’re venturing into criminals territory
what should I do? Clean up criminals?
That would be good. But doing it will escalate the country into madness
that journalist was close to reporting something big, those 2 guys who confessed are just scapegoats.
Who payed the murderer?
The Amazon is the home of one of the deadliest and most violent cities in the world. Pretty stupid to ever go there voluntarily
Wasn’t there a woman who lived with Apes until they killed her…
Bolsonaro is a moronic thug, he has the intelligence of a toad, so it’s no wonder that cretin would rather blame the victims than his own failed policies.
My sympathies to the families, friends and colleagues of the two men. May their work continue in their memory.
He has no power to do stuff on his own. The congress is corrupt to the bone
oh he found something
I WOULD INVESTIGATE RICH OR POWERFUL PEOPLE WITH INTEREST IN THE LAND,,,THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PLANNED MURDER,,,PAYED BY SOMEONE RICH,,,,
Silly.
well they saw something they shouldn’t be seen
What the heck, they care so much about journalist???
Well he must be loved by people there ❤️
How many of y’all really think it was the little, random fisherman and his brother they murdered these two?
Won’t be going there.
@o_¶ oo that’s OK 😆. 👍
Brazilian President seemed happy and satisfied with Journalist and guide’s death.
He warned them. He isnt happy, but he warned
@Peshurian BR He was very satisfied!
@Madam Curacha for you them
This is what happens when you become a social justice warrior.
Of course! Capitalism cannot stand social justice nor social justice warriors.
And this how they become white washed .. white people are their white savior
So the president had it done…. wrong adventure
The motive is money….. cause they was paid
The motive was capitalism.
The assailants were paid by one of the companies exploiting the natural resources of the region. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, and it won’t be the last.
There is a song in Spanish by mana its called cuando los Angeles lloran its about Chico Mendez a activist for preservation who too was killed in the 90s
Yes, what an appropriate song to remember right now.
https://youtu.be/fE-s2z44O_U
Why?
Heros are always killed, reminds me of the incredibles…. They terminated all heros because evil is what is in charge right now, pure pureeee evvvillll.
Nice Brazil you have a useless president lol. Blames the victims.
The president is not to blame here. Decades of corruption took its toll, thats the result
Why. ? Why killed them ? For what reason ? 😭
Meanwhile shireen killed by indigenous police in palestine.
i think brazil president have something to do with this. How can he speak lightly of such matter. Every life matter. And when one murder happen, where is justice? no he speak ill of the dead instead….. what a sick world we live in. Sigh. so sad.
Yea, this is common with right wing governments. He is trying to defend the almighty capitalist ideal, as well as the companies that are exploiting the Amazon. He also, is most likely taking bribes from the companies exploiting the Amazon. That’s why he won’t condemn the assailants.
This has nothing to do with the president. probably one of the factions in the area or the prospectors
This will be a good movie 🍿 Netflix make it happen
Nope, this is not the first time activists have been killed in Brazil (and South America in general) for trying to defend the forest, and it certainly won’t be the last. You can find plenty of documentaries online about this already.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3teRx9Ky-JU
R.I.P the world will miss you.
#bolsonaro
What can you expect from a place like Brazil smh rest in piece these 2 men.
24 journalists killed in Brazil in the last ten years. What does that tell you about the corruption there?
Its always to the good ones who die, man this is such a huge loss…
Thats what happens when you try to convert people that dont want to be converted. There is a reason why they are in the jungle and not with civilization.
They weren’t there to convert natives to Christianity, they were there to help the indigenous communities, and to document and preserve the forest.
The people that shot them more than likely weren’t part of the indigenous tribe, most likely hired by one of the big companies exploiting the region (logger, gold miners, big oil companies, etc) because they felt their bottom dollar was being threatened by their activism. This types of crimes are common practice in South America and México.
Did you not watch the video? its only 3 minutes
Convert natives? where do you live? 1800?
No motives, definitely paid gunmen
Yup. By one, or several of the companies/groups of people exploiting natural resources of the region.
Capitalism FTW! 🦾
What were they investigating really?
Its polictics there.. He was killed for their own governmnt hidden agenda..
@Peshurian BR it evolves around greedy bsnessmen and corrupt politics d lnd was occupied by poor pipol.. Oligarc greedy bznessmen will do anything to have dat land .. It will makes lots of money but theres an obstacle for their greedy intensions dat guy who was killed..
DISGUSTTING!
Stop trying to colonize indigenous people
China is the biggest importer for wood from Amazon, anyone affecting this trade relatioship will disappear.
Mindblowing (and very telling) the president is victim blaming.
Sounds to me like the government silenced them and the guy that was arrested was just a puppet to prevent further investigation.
@Peshurian BR do you really think government officials weren’t involved? They wouldn’t want the people to become more empowered
@Aryona Samoto I live in Manaus. trust me, it has nothing to do with the government
The closest slums from here its under faction control, months ago they expeled residents from their homes. Amazon and the rest of the country is the same. the government has no power and gets weaker by the day
Jeff Bezos
The government killed them and blamed someone else. History always repeats itself.
This has nothing to do with the government. probably one of the factions in the area or the prospectors
Sounds like maybe the government was involved in all those journalists murders…24 journalists died in the matter of 10 years in that area. Brazil government don’t want people to know what they are trying to do in the Amazon.
RIP to the journalists and May peace come to their families 🕊🙏🏾
You randomly pronounced the guys name with a Spanish accent. Threw me off. Portuguese, not Spanish.
So frustrating the Brazilian government couldn’t care less about these two heroes, nor the Amazon b/c they’re clearly profiting from the Amazon’s resources – illegally.
Dont they have cannibals in the Amazon ?
Mad Lad RIP
As a Brazilian, I want to highlight that the arrest was very suspicious, and quite honestly their murders probably have a much more sinister story than it looks from the surface
Yes , I think similar . Like the men arrested are scapegoats of a greater crime sindicate , the corrupt bolsenaro government might be involved
thought the same thing. may they both rest in peace and have justice 😢
I’m 110% in agreement with these comments, it’s far more twisted and dark than what meets the eye.
A fisherman killed them? Sounds fishy.. maybe he was place there to cover up the murder.
heartbreaking. its so disturbing how these 2 journalists were invested in helping these people, but their own leaders werent.
They were heroes!!! Evil will NOT prevail!!!
RIP to those men! Smh 🤦♂️
You know this man was not killed by those guys they just took the case for the real killers.
Probably the last two Journalists that actually did what Journalists are supposed to do. People who just sit in an office, doing second-hand inaccurate and ignorant research are NOT reporters or journalists. They are lazy.
This is what happens when cartels come in and destroy resources. Same thig in Africa
The Brazilian government is corrupt.
Not only the government. the congress, the senate and pretty much everything
Is there one country in South America that doesn’t have an inept or corrupt government?
no good deed goes unpunished. much respect.
they were killed because the fisherman had racism over the native tribes that the 2 fought for. Yeah same thing happens in America over Native Americans and indigenous tribes
Not even in death could stop these two warriors prevent their message from being heard. through out the globe. It now speaks louder than ever before.
<3
Dear future Gringos that want to go to the Amazon and help please hire private security it doesn’t cost that much and it will save your life
Those weren’t the killers. Why would they confess to this? “They were on an adventure that was not recommended” Let’s put two and two together everyone.
Columbia is an adventure that is not recommended. 💀
I’m from Brazil and I’m deeply sorry to hear this. My condolences to the family and friends. We need people like them helping to improve human rights in our country, special towards the Indios. ❤✊
the saddest part is that a foreign journalist is doing more to protect the country than the president of its own country
Because the president most likely gave up protecting the amazon
Leave the natives alone.
That is the lesson.
Never learned by euros……
The two men arrested? Yeah, they aren’t the murderers. This was a hit that came from high up in the government. I have zero doubts about that.
Wrong. this was very likely some faction orders or even the prospectors
Why shoot them terrible
Why do I feel like Brazil’s president has something to do with it?! 🤔
Because he dosnt have nothing to do with it
Respect indigenous people.
I think they should have minded thier own business
“The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men” ~ Woodrow Wilson
The amount of love and support that community showed for them🥹
They love Amazon, but they also died inside of Amazon.
I hope all the victim’s family always be healthy and happy.
“People Die If They Are Killed.”
Yeah But How Did They Die Though?
Sike That’s KARMA For You, Bri’Ish.
It don’t matter because he is White, I thought only Black lives Matter? What’s wrong with you NBC, Stick to your Narrative, You shouldn’t even be reporting about this 😂😂🤣🤣😂
Brazilian President & corrupt government officials. WTF!!!
The president is involved.
So ur sayin it was a hit ordered by the Brazilian president? Be careful guys!
Who wants to bet the President/government hired some people to take them out. I’m not buying the other arrests.
