- Pablo also known as Jesus, a friend of mine that I made whilst visiting Rio, was eager to show me around his neighbourhood or Favela where he was born and raised.
"Zona Norte" (North Zone) is known to have the worst Favelas in the whole of Brazil, with armed militias roaming and guarding the streets.
I was not expecting what was about to go down.
Get your popcorn ready.
Valeu!

Fun fact: the same guys who had the shootout, actually subbed to my channel just before it happened 😆
Baz00ka old man seems kurt channel: i n t e r e s t i n g
Brazil is garbage bro
You're becoming the man in South America bro
haha, the coincidence
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your guide is legit and you can tell he's a genuine guy and cares for your safety.
Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating.
The only safe reliable, genuine and highly experienced expert I can refer you to is Mrs Sharon
How do I get into these if I'm in newyork?
Is it too late to get on the Seedify whitelist? I’m trying to save over $5k so I can start
Thank you for such kindness brother from another mother
Pablo feels like a GTA side caracter that helps you in missions.
Shoutout to him and Kurt respect.
I take that disrespectfully, he helped the mission and he's a real cool dude who put his safety and vulnerability living there on the line showing and talking about the place he lives and helping not only Kurt but the thousand to millions of other people who are watching him chill on his grandma's balcony
Hespeck
@@remisan7214 halfway through the video i was thinking about how crazy it is that millions of people were let in on this experience
This is not just a traveling vlog in my eyes.
This is true journalism.
Respect to both Kurt and the people he meets and travel together with.
I have nothing but respect for this, and it's an humbling but enjoyable experience to watch.
I don't get the impression that this is just to show off, like some (haters) claims.
He has a genuine interest in the people and the stories and places that normally isn't shared with the rest of the world .
Wish you safe travels wherever you go, Kurt! 👊🏻🕊️
This channel is sex tourism masquerading as cultural exploration with a hint of colonialism.
baised journalism for sure.
Ya I was just thinking the same after bingeing some of his videos, this goes beyond simple travel videos or vlogging. This is like cultural gonzo journalism. He has a real skill with breaking the ice and connecting with people which allows him to see the people and locations as other travelers wouldnt. He is like a documentarian. Plus the way he so effortlessly pulls hotties is super entertaining too lmao.
@@sergeantbigmac Sex tourism packaged as cultural journalism. Keep drinking the KoolAid
Yes, seems that way. Seen some other videos of copycats going into dangerous neighbourhoods and their videos come off as awkward because they struggle to connect thus there is a tense distance between them and the interviewees.
As brazilian that live in Rio, I say to you, Kurt: This area is REAAAAALLY DANGEROUS, my friend. If you didn’t be in company this local guy, you would be in a very trouble.
its the same in other places now knifes guns people wearing sandals
Yes but that's exactly why he's with the local guy. He obviously wouldn't do it alone.
He doesn't listen, he does dumb shit all the time. One day we'll be hearing of him getting offed
As a visiting American for the world cup.....you are correct
@@iversonjcameron damn that's crazy niggas watching
Your friend in red is good at supervising, i can see how nervous he is and he is just trying his best to keep you companied and calm but he knows things are worst than how you think it is
I was also just thinking that the whole video his head is on a swivel
Pablo is doing such a crystal job. He seems like a super sweet guy
Respect to Pablo, but at times he seemed really worried for himself and Curt, which is understandable, considering the places they were going.
@Ronald Crist oh wow!!!
Kurt needs to start wearing a bullet proof vest.
You need to consider travelling with Pablo man, he is such a caring, authentic being and he sure would do a great job as a co-host. You guys had a strong connection.
Pablo really is a champ. Out of the guides I've watch you (and other travel youtubers) walked around with, is just genuine real. Lot of respect to him. Love your videos dude.
Oh yeah, insane awareness, it looks like a misstep, like if he didn't tell Kurt to put the camera away quick enough, might have been it.
Intelligent aware bloke.
Seems like a lot of young Brazilians have these traits. Both the street awareness that was mentioned but also the kindness with the ability make friends quickly. Pablo seems awesome
Na verdade o cara claramente estava fazendo merda lá, fica nítido que ele estava tentando passar uma imagem de confiança porém estava apavorado com a situação, nem os crias transitam com tranquilidade nesses locais, ainda mais se tu for jovem, pra quem conhece sabe que a todo momento ocorrem invasões de outras facções e sempre tem gente nova na área com fuzil na mão.
What a cool guy to let you chill in his granny’s house god bless him
@KurtCuz kept asking about the dude's granny like why is she black and you are different? The dude never responded the first time
@@SammyAnyona I peeped that too lmao I was thinking the same thing as kurt
@@slimeyluhdude But I think it was a bit too intrusive. To ask why her granny is black may be uncomfortable for the dude
@@SammyAnyona yeah but you never know what you’re walking into these people are sketchy . The black market is a real thing
@@SammyAnyona yeah was a bit weird but as a brazilian I dont think he would take to the hearth cuz its normal we say this type of things in Brazil between us because Brazilians can look like anything even inside a family
Kurt has some balls. The chances of messing everything up are so high

Interesting to me that in the decades I watched mainstream television, no attempts were made by the BBC or its competition to portray favella inhabitants as human beings with the same hopes and fears as the rest of us. It's *almost* as if some in high-up positions want us to be suspicious of and fear each other so the divisions and misunderstandings remain. Bless you Kurt, you're doing magnificent work.
I've watched videos years back on the favellas... the places that just grow without real water or electricity connections. The people were very normal and clean, just poor.
There have 100% been docs on the BBC and CBC depicting the inhabitants of the fevallas as being normal people just in extreme poverty surrounded by continuing violence, one where the followed one guy and his family who sell shirts.
However they also have a responsibility not to fool dumb western travelers into thinking "oh let me just go there for a good cheap time, take some drugs, sleep with some prostitutes and enjoy the culture" because the reality is 70% will be get robbed 5% maybe killed.
Or then its just that for example a whole tv crew from foreign media is not allowed to walk in places such as this without being threatened or worse
Lol BBC? You can't rely on them for anything. My parents are from India. If you believe the BBC they would have you believe that women don't walk around the streets, everyone is homeless, etc. They're the stupid ones who report international news on crime that happens with homeless people. Imagine if we did that to every country, you'd portray them as second class constantly.
mainstream media is a complete joke Sir.
You’re guide is awesome, even him washing the glasses before pouring water or wine just reminds me of being with my family in Puerto Rico. They’re all good people and family oriented, I love this ❤
You can tell the guy in white has been in this shit for years, everyone else is ducking and he’s just standing around like he’s God. Much respect to Kurt and the people in Brazil.
The OG in white like hold my beer 🍺 🤭
@@stevennguyen4993 he's talking about the barber, not kurt
@@stevennguyen4993 the guy in white... not the white guy lmao
Lol ducking? The shots sounded like they were far away. These guys are at the top of a hill, them shots sounded deep in a valley. So yeh I think its just normal for the guy in white. He can probably judge where its going on and how far. Hence why he didnt duck. Believe me if them bullets were close, he would be the first one ducking. Thats whats kept him alive, knowing when to get out of the way
😂😂 he god himself. .
You’re lucky to meet this guy and have him as a guide, he did a fantastic job. This is probably the best favela video. All the others are of Rocinha but I’ve never seen one of this place before. The people seem welcoming and the vibe, minus the violence, is the type you would want to be around
I pray he didn't get bad vibes after him..
He seemed legit and respected.. I imagine Evrybody in favella got the Link to see what intentions were?
@@historynetwork852 we have a little of every race in Brazil but saying it's a white country is too much. And the video is not fake at all, tbh as a rio's citizen I'm even surprised
its governments that cause violence
@@luizfeliperodriguesmenezes3340 they’re troll accounts don’t even bother responding. All Brazilians know the country is not majority white 😂

Kurt, I'm so glad I found this channel. You're so entertaining, but also very brave going into some of these areas. Great content and I've enjoyed everything I've watched! Much love from Melbourne, Australia. Hope you continue to have some amazing experiences
I absolutely love watching these videos and honestly it makes things way more interesting when you have a local showing you around and keeps you safer too
That guy who guides you is a great person, a really great guy who cares about you, cares about your safety, respect for him and also for you, for all the courage you take to show us this part of the world that governments try to hide, this is incredible and scary at the same time.
He was so scared lol
Took the words out of my mouth.
@@ihelpyouwitheverything4720 ofc who wouldn’t be
@Zero One indeed. Yet still, Kurt handled it better than most of us here in the comments would have xD
Not sure if the government is trying to hide this we all know this exists lol they are not doing a good job hiding it
“My father passed away”
“Fuck I’m sorry to hear that about your dad”
“It’s okay man”
That exchange really hit me. I know when my old man passes it’s gonna be rough for me but I hope I can handle it with grace
same feels, take care friend
It’s gonna suck but remember it happens to most people. And know there are people who are going through the same thing you are going through.
25:00 min mark roughly. Yeah mee too😢
I lost my mom a few years back and I lost my dad last year it's a very scary feeling I always thought as long as I had my parents everything would be okay but now that they're both gone that safety net is no longer there it's a very scary feeling and I'm 50 years old I thought I would have my big brother here too but he passed away 10 years ago before my parents I'm the only one left and it sucks and I can't wait to be done with this life so I can go be with them
@@mikejohn4214 hey brother, I’m sorry for your losses. Thanks for sharing your story. I feel the same sometimes. Just ready to be done with it all. But I know we have so much more to give and have and do in this life. Its a beautiful, crazy, magnificent, scary, gorgeous, sorrowful, wondrous life we have. It’s a gift. I’ve been in this trench and I know too well how it feels. I got nothing but love for you man. I hope you’re well.
Forgot how much I loved this channel, I'm always nervous for you Kurt but keep doing what you love!
This is the best thing about TH-cam. Great people sharing raw authentic journeys, thank you
As a Brazilian who lives in Rio de Janeiro, I thought it was amazing how soon you visited an extremely dangerous place. Usually tourists only visit the "good part" and you look at the "dark side" of the places they visit, fully showing the day to day of those who are often not in the spotlight. Great video, represents our culture. One more subscriber.
It's understandable since if a bandit spot cars that aren't familiar, theyll be killed. You gotta know someone from the favela before getting there.
"represents our culture" .. shit man, I wouldn't like violence to be my culture
@@Xajane02 I agree with u, but i guess that he said that that part of Rio is real culture than the things that we see in tv, internet, etc. Or the things that are exposes outside the Brazil

But yeah your english is incredible. Also may I ask why you moved back to Brazil instead of staying in London? As smart as you are I can see you doing well in the Uk or here in America.
@@pablopoliglotafit1329 LEGENDDDDD
I like how the barber Rodrigo wanted to hang out with them and stayed with them for the whole video. And his friend and guide was realyl cool and chill man and made sure to look out for him. Great vid.
I've watched most of your vids man love your work. It actually seemed like you where genuinely afraid in this one, by far the most dangerous place you've been judging from the vid.
Stay safe brother we need you out there getting this stuff out

Bro it's just called being from South Africa lol
Even Kurt is humbled by the dangers of a Brazilian favella. In so many other videos he walks around some dangerous neighborhoods like its nothing, but in this one he is legit sh*tting himself.

What a man you are dude. Handeling every situation with such a cool even tho you're scared of your life. I don't know how I've got to your channel. First full lenght video I've seen of yours and you've got me subscribed. Way to go. Love the approach against the unknown. Great stuff!
Kurt, you have my interest in your following because of your interest in your heart of humanity, I really respect that characteristic most of all, also the dignity which you treat people. Thank you.
I love the guy who showed you around what a lovely young man taking very good care of you am glad he was there with you safety is always important
Tres, iam sure not for free....like a bodyguard.
@@agustindejesus7398 im sure hes just guiding him around lmao hes not a bodyguard
@@kenju8929 Because everyone knows him it is like a bodyguard. If Kurt went through there on his own --- well it would not be a good outcome.
As a brazilian, I admire the way you chose to show the favelas. I have seen some youtubers do videos like This that were so disrespectful and sensacionalist. You showed a side of the country most of us have never seen in person. Parabéns!
As an American from Boston, I have come to know a LOT of Brazilians who have emigrated to the USA, as the Boston-area has one of the largest number of Brazilians in the entire US. Anyway, those that I have met from Rio would tell me that naive tourists see all the glamour of Copacabana Beach, and the mistake many make is they stray from Copacabana to just a block behind, and the safety factor is MUCH less than it was just a couple minutes earlier, and that tourists get in trouble a lot as a result.
@@mikes3827 It's like when you go out in nature. You gotta respect others boundaries in places like this. There are places you can go and places even locals don't go. It's not a bad idea to visit Brazil, but you should know it's a different environment.
@@joshmiller9783 I'm kinda nervous about travelling anywhere abroad but there is a safe way to do it. Just don't go wandering around without knowledge of where the bad areas are. People from safer countries go on holiday to Brazil all the time and don't run into danger. Just stay in the tourist areas..what's so hard about that?
@@jordannietos idk if comparing humans to wild animals is a good comparison. Id hope humans can rise above senseless violence against innocents
@@joshmiller9783 There is nowhere - NOWHERE...no town, no community...NOWHERE - you can't run into serious trouble.
I wouldn’t even consider bringing somebody with a camera filming everything to a favela. The right thing to do is go to the “owner” of the place and get his permission. Otherwise is just stupidity.
Love your videos and seeing the places you don't see in generic fake posed tourist videos! enjoy your travels Kurt and but please, STAY SAFE out there and don't push your luck too much.
it's easy to get cocky when nothing happens for a long time but your luck can turn really fast one day, and all it takes is one bad day.
“That cat is fucked” LOL
in the favelas even the cat is a gangsta
😂😂😂😂😂 you got that
mabye hast eaten in days or so
Do you really need to type the idiot "lol"???
This had me creasing 😂
The hospitality of your Brazillian Guide was cool. ! At the end of the day we are all human. We want job, food and shelter and smiles and laughs with joy!
As part of my job for 40 years I travelled to a lot of crazy places in the world, including the West side of South America, and have never seen anything like this. I have seen other videos on these favelos, and have read on how much gun violence there is, but your video brings it all home. I love how you befriend the people wherever you go.
Damn, Pablo seems like a real, genuine dude. Hope him and his family stay safe. And Rodrigo, too. Good for him on cleaning up, may he stay on the good path ☝🏼
hes a part of those gangs lol look at his house and his door and why kurt never filmed inside his house
pretty obvious
Man I hope Pablo stays safe. You should keep in contact with him and keep us updated. Such a real guy
I agree with this Kurt. Update us on Pablo. If possible, help him move out of the Favelas. He deserves it. A great guy who needs a better chance.

He was murdered last week by his ex-colleagues.

Respect to you for being able to maintain some dialogue with the camera and the people accompanying you while clearly feeling vulnerable and full of adrenaline. You're a natural!
Love how Kurt respects everyone he meets. He even blurred out the number plate of the bike on the bridge. Nice editing going on, for which his two guides will be thankful.
Ohh he better respects otherwise he'll go missing in no time
As if he could be disrespectful out there :D
Yup, I don't think he has much choice on the matter.

Great show man ! Thanks for doing this.
I've been following Kurt's channel for a long time. I am Brazilian. It's the first time I've seen a gringo enter the really dangerous part of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Others always go to Rocinha and neighboring areas but Kurt went to the Israel Complex! I already thought he was crazy before that. This is insane.
Totally agree! I've been to a few favelas but I'm a brutha so I blend in. The fact that he's white and obviously a foreigner and goes into these favelas is crazy!😳
Why is it called Israel complex ??
@@darkvador9106 Believe or not, this name was created by "Christian religious drug dealers". Yes, there are the "Jesus drug dealers".

There is something so special about these incredible videos. No type of journalist comes even close to him. Kurt really brings you with on a trip, meets and interacts with locals, strolls through the streets, visits homes and you just really get a good impression of the life in such incredibly dangerous and normally completely inaccessible areas of the world. It is because nobody dares to expose himself to such dangers, and is not able to look at everything from another perspective, that there is comparatively nobody like him. It is incredibly fascinating to see how the people adapt to live in such circumstances, from the electricity supply to the gunshots and self-regulated favelas. I appreciate every video Kurt, and I hope you keep doing what you do and love!

I can't fathom how that happened to you. I lived there for 2 years as a gringo / used to visit favelas every week as i had mates who lived in Vidigal / admittedly not the most dangerous favela but still a favela.

@23:50 I know that feeling. My grandpa was the reason my family got together all the time and did fish cookouts but since he passed, the family moved all over the country. We rarely see each other now. Guess that’s life. Families were much closer before smartphones and internet
Kurt always in the trenches, thank you for taking us with you
Forreal
Man has balls of steel but he was born in South Africa, idk where but most of Africa is like the Trenches if not worse (than America and UK Trenches at least)
Oh yeah! A soldja in the trenches!
Yeah man dude deserves his own TV show he's built different.
@@Xighor yeh not the parts of South Africa where the white people live..thats more the townships where the black people have always been “contained” to.
Wow this is crazy to see. Props to you for showing this side of the world that a lot of people never get to see. Beautiful kind people in such an unfortunate environment
It's just a shit hole man
unhappy??? you are crazy?
@@directedbyrm acredito que morar em um lugar tão perigoso não deve ser o sonho das pessoas
unfortunate? it was made that why by the bourgeois class - it is only unfortunate they were not born into wealth and privilege but the environment they live in is a result of economic decisions to oppress the working people who do not own capital.
Used to be an ex-con. Did he graduate 5i never a con or is he an ex-con again?! ;)
".... I'm safe to film here whatever I want ..." Go Kurt!!! Wonderful stuff
Always loved your videos, very authentic.
Im glad kurt didn't go all out crazy like he usually does and went solo in the most dangerous neighborhood in Brazil like he usually does in other videos. I think Brazil is different and he would have been in a lot of danger had he done what he did in other countries.
Yes it is, great people. Serious situation.
He knows what he's getting himself into, he knew he couldn't go into this favela alone.
No doubt about that
lm from usa and Brazil is dangerous bcuz of drugs and the people is out there brazil is beautiful country a lot of beautiful latinas
ATTENTION!!! Hell is real... We can not hide our sins from God. Is your heart right with the Lord? Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. If you reject Jesus Christ, you will not see the Kingdom of Heaven.. ACTS 2:38 “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
To help you guys from 1st world to measure the reality of this crazy tour:
You can see Pablo's tension some parts of the video by doing the friend guide even though he lives in the area and know the people around there probably for a looong time (if he was a newborn on the neighborhood they woldn last 5 minutes). As a brazilian this gave me chills. Amazing content.
Keen observation, the bridge bit was a great example of that. Talked about how the criminals paid for the bridge to be built (obviously for more control alongside helping the community) but he has to just say that it was out of the kindness of their hearts since they were driving by. also the amount of times Kurt had to put the camera away was intense.
Yes they dont know that they chop you in Pieces While alive if they feel like It, in the favelas even Kids leave you dead on the street.
Kurt is well trained & handles 'difficult/risky' situation very well. Putting theory into practice
I really enjoy your videos man, I was born in Latin America but never got to meet as many exotic places as you! Thank you for your work and good vibes!
Am I the only one that is really impressed by how well Pablo speaks english? Growing up in a favela this is not really a usual thing to see
I went to college and I'm an english and portuguese teacher after much hard work.

It's crazy what confidence can do. Absolute Legend.
Absolutely the best travel show on TH-cam period. ❤
Hell yeah 👍
Found your channel recently, amazing content. American who lived in Brazil for a year…this was an incredible videi
Kurt man! Just came across your channel, I appreciate the way you narrate your visits, gives unique and authentic view to outsiders. Please stay safe!
Me too bro
Cake
Sure, until he's killed for no reason
Whut if itz all fake...
@Big Dog you can't go anywhere u want, before you step into a new place you should do research beforehand knowing what to expect and how to behave to not get in trouble. you don't want to end up in private cartel territory with a camera on recording, if this red shirt guy wasn't with him there's a high chance he wouldn't know these rules and would get in serious trouble.
there are communities and places with their rules u must follow and respect, otherwise you going to pay the cost, whether you get stripped naked and lose everything for misconduct or get killed. Kurtz is very smart and he behave in a friendly and kind manner, now imagine some douche bag with ego walk in those places, obviously he not gonna survive for long.
@@historynetwork852 I think you are the fake
@The MMA Show I meant him being a Brit.
I know a lot of people have commented this , but you can’t say it enough. Pablo is an absolute top tier Homie, take the ese with you on some of your missions it would do good for both of you and the audience. You have an amazing bond and he has a really calm aura around him
I love how you’re actually respecting the place and not filming when it’s not safe to do so
Kurt is well on his way to 1 million subs and it’s so well deserved a video like this is incredible . Stay safe Kurt !! Also same to you Pablo seems like a really great guy
How crazy! I found the channel "randomly" and the 3rd video I watch is here in my city, my neighborhood, with a guide who studied with me in high school, an old friend
Caralho que foda! Eu tomei um susto quando ele falou que tavam em bras de Pina!! Morei lá por anos
Damn bro stay safe in that neighborhood 😂😂
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Espero um dia ter a coragem que ele têm.
❤
Obrigada por mostrar a outra face do Rio de Janeiro.
Arguably the best channel on TH-cam for me. Great content!
Brazil is such a beautiful country with many amazing sights to see and lots of lovely people. It's unfortunate that deadly violence and crime exists though.
Such a cool guide! Brazilian people are so nice , I was adopted from there. My two favourite countrys in the world Brazil and Colombia.Keep the greatness coming Kurt! aint nobody doing it like this channel
Thank you brother from another mother 🙏 your words are peace.
Yeah nice with machine guns, and that guy said that brazil has more murders than 60 other countries together. But yeah the other people that aren’t involved in those things are sweet
@@pablopoliglotafit1329 Hey brother!! Comenta aí no vídeo para as pessoas te poderem seguir no yt!!! Abraço de Portugal!!
@@pablopoliglotafit1329 Your Welcome Pablo! You showed the world the true essence of Latino hospitality.Great energy! keep it up, I visited in 2014 for the world cup and would like to go back soon because i have never been to Rio. Would be cool to have you as a guide!
@@MAD-kh2oy Each country has its own problems and dangers. But the stigma about Latin America is just not justified i have never felt more welcome and beloved anywhere else then in Brazil and Colombia. Its a special energy and the people there are a special kind of humans. They always smile whatever happens and whatever happens no matter how bad the circumstances they will always put a smile on your face and recieve you like family
"That cat............. is fucked".. I lost it 🤣🤣
Fr 🤣🤣🤣
You not lyin bro 🤣
I Died🤣🤣🤣
The door of the granny house in the minute 27:16, is marked with C.V, it’s a gang sign from Comando Vermeho, a popular gang in Rio, just a fun fact. Love your videos kurt, keep it up
Thats not her house. Its the entrance to that apartment complex.
I'm Brazilian and I'd never go to a place like that... It's too dangerous, even if you're innocent you can end up killed, it's just too risk, I wouldn't play with my life like that
I only came across your channel yesterday and i can't stop watching. It is very interesting because you are exploring the heart of the city and not the usual tourist spots we see on mainstream tv. It is facinating to see how the locals live and how humble the people are. I am coloured from South Africa and i can really relate to the locals, they are thousands of kilometres/miles away and speak a different langauge but we're not really that different, it is amazing. I hope to visit Rio soon, thank you Kurt and keep it up. I will keep supporting your channel...GOD BLESS!!!
EXACTLY 4 days ago here too bro. Very cool channel and his attitude very good, polite and all that. Love it !! Hope he visit Kurdistan one day, alot of TH-camrs went there and I would love to see him also there because he would fit so well.
Yah my Bouta...lekker dag😊

Dude, you’re the real deal!!! I lived in Rio so I have a very good idea how dangerous the area is.
respect mate, nice to see some stuff like that also thanks to pablo for showing you/us around. Very good vid. :)
Really nice people :)
I love that my life allows me to lay on my comfortable couch and eat an Oreo or three while I watch Kurt literally risk his life as I am experiencing all these exotic worlds right beside him. You have reached the nirvana of TH-cam friend. Keep up this beautiful vlog Kurt, love it bud.

First time I’ve seen Kurt a bit spooked by the situation he’s in. You can tell that was no joke and the place is wild. Amazing video again Kurt. 100% pushing the boundaries of visiting places you should be for our benefit. Bet youtuber about fact! Stay safe man and keep up the good work 🍺
I noticed that too, it was very intense even though the place is actually a very nice looking aside from the gross 🤮 sewer
It's the second time. He was also really stressed when the vodoo was happening 😃
I was thinking the same thing, he seemed a little on edge or extra cautious (rightfully so). Usually he ends the video very jokingly, overly elated, etc. but I think he was just trying to process everything that had just happened as well as all that he absorbed and experienced throughout the day (which was quite super intense).
@@ricardowirrer2512 hahaha yeah
He was no where near the “shoot out”. He did not have to take cover and be so dramatic about it. He was not caught in the middle.
The scariest part about this is those kids with guns. Developing brains with life ending power is not a good combination.
And they rarely think consequences
Out of all your videos I've seen , in this one I could see your tension.
I could feel your concern .
Stay safe out there 🙏
I am from Slovenia, one of the most peaceful contries in the world and this is so crazy for me to see. I mean u can see in the movies but when u vlog with local guide and people.. you can really feel it
Beautiful yes peaceful no
@@chriswalker143 just as CE000 has said, Slovenia is a peaceful and very safe country.
Even to Brazilians it is crazy to see that.
Small cities/towns outside the capitals/metropolis are really safe, with no violence at all, specially in the Southeast/South and Center-West regions.
@@augustobarbosab.773 still high crime rate but obviously has safe areas
Mi Slovenci!
Even in bad places, you can find plenty of good people. Your friend seemed very thoughtful of you and your needs, as well as getting across how colorful life is there, and dangerous at the same time. Good dudes! That is a beautiful country, I wish there was less violence, and more opportunity for kids to grow up without crime being the more profitable option in their future :\ The people seem very real, and welcoming as well, but I could feel the sense of anxiety in the air, likely due to the amount of gun violence.
Acredito que muito de vocês, digo "estrangeiros" ...
Não tem noção, de quanto o Brasil é grande e existem cidades tão seguras e modernas como a Europa.
Agora, muito de vocês, assistem esse tipo de vídeo, feito por um turista louco, dentro de uma comunidade do Rio de Janeiro, e que para muitos dos telespectadores acham que o Brasil inteiro, se resume a isso: "Tiroteio, carnaval, favelas e mulher?"
Bem... Onde eu moro, eu saio nas ruas, até mesmo 3:00am da madrugada, quando não tem uma alma viva sabe... E adivinha?! A probabilidade de acontecer algo ruim, tomar um tiro de bala perdida ou mesmo assaltado, é de 0,9%. (Tive como base, a taxa de furtos que houve nos últimos meses para chegar nesse cálculo.)
Agora, uma coisa que vocês devem saber para agregar ao assunto, eu moro eu um bairro de periferia, chamado de "extremo leste", do mapa da cidade... Isso quer dizer, que o nosso bairro ainda está em desenvolvimento, muito das casas, ainda não conseguiram terminar suas obras de construção, deixando o bairro ainda aparentemente mediano. Para finalizar, vou deixar uma informação de relevância. O Brasil é dividido em 27 estados, somados quase 6 mil municípios, e cada munício as vezes com mais de 6 cidades.
Então, se vocês querem ver o lado tranquilo do BRASIL, com um aspecto bonito, limpo, seguro, ótima culinária(sem menosprezar os outros lugares), com lindas moradias e estruturas urbanas. Aconselho te, viajar para o Sul do País. Aos que tem preferência pelo Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, cidades, com muita urbanização, vocês sempre encontrarão áreas com mais precariedade. A tendência é popular e expandir, enquanto o desenvolvimento é mais expressivo em áreas mais próximos ao centro; enquanto os bairros e lugares que estão mais afastados do centro, aparentemente ficam esquecidos pelos seus governantes, pois falta muita obra de saneamento, engenharia de trânsito, e outros fatores que nem preciso mencionar. "Esses caras", tem se dedicado mais, a bairros, de pessoas com poder aquisitivo maior. Ou seja, os ricos, a parte pobre, "que se fuc*".
