Crazy shit, and yes, I watched the video.

That's a pretty disturbing story no matter how you look at it.

While the headline doesn't exactly appear to say anything that is false, I think it's a bit misleading. My first impression was that they killed him for making a bad call, not because he had just killed someone himself.

The Public Safety Department of the state of Maranhao says in a statement that it all started when referee Otavio da Silva expelled player Josenir Abreu from a game last weekend. The two got into a fist fight, then Silva took out a knife and stabbed Abreu, who died on his way to the hospital.

Why in the fuck was this guy reffing again after stabbing someone a week ago?

In baseball, an ump can blow a call and get put on the bench for a few weeks. This guy stabbed a player to death and they put him back out on the field?!? I'm very confused.

Because there is a very limited pool of people crazy enough to ref a futbol match over there. Yeah, he's a killer. But he will go back out there.


Well, not any more. But you know what I mean.

Yeah, it is pretty insane. I saw a documentary about drug dealers "microwaving" people in Brazil, which is placing them inside a stack of tires and burning them alive.
