De Laurentis stated that the left was detached from reality and mentioned that between 4 AM and 6 AM, hundreds of workers had been robbed at bus stops or train stations, with cell phones, documents, and money taken. He contrasted the positions he attributed to right-wing and left-wing candidates: according to De Laurentis, the former advocated severe punishments for robbers, while the latter considered them victims as well and supported rehabilitation, less punishment for minor offenses, and temporary releases during holidays. The author claimed that all robberies in Rio were committed by individuals with dozens of police records and that some ended in tragedy. De Laurentis criticized what he called virtue signaling and urged people to listen to what Brazilians said in bars, instead of following the opinions of intellectuals on social media. He also stated that while some advocated against police operations in communities, people living in those areas secretly supported actions against heavily armed criminals who set up barricades daily. #Brasil #SegurançaPública #Política (translated)
