TLDR:
He deserves it for being a g*mer ๐
Highlights:
Wh*toids when they realize Chicago isn't as bad as third world countries
I've never seen an economic situation like this, I've never seen this many homeless people
And that's although he's been "to every major city".
Kept my phone in my underwear the whole time, pull it out to check for my uber, immediately get hit
Smartest g*mer.
Tbf I didn't think Brazilians were capable of this.
I can hear the cop listening to a football game in the background.... They don't care.

Okay I got bored watching at this point so let's look at some comments :
The cathedral he went to is close to a region widely known as 'Crackland.' Needless to say, there are many fiends wandering around that area. Whenever traveling, always do some research and, if possible, ask locals where you should and shouldn't go. I'm half Brazilian and lived many years of my life there, and indeed, if you don't know how to navigate the country, it can be really dangerous. However, it's a big country with many beautiful tourist spots that are very safe. In a way, it's like the USAโgoing to someplace like Vermont is pretty chill, but I would never wander around Chicago.
"Widely known as crackland" ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ Also Chicagoans thoughts on this Brazilian saying he'd never dare wander around Chicago because it's too dangerous? @FrozenChosen
Obv muricans are taking offense ๐ก๐ก
Chicago is actually an awesome city, and you would be safe just about anywhere worth seeing. That crack must hit different there. In Oakland the crack addicts just want to fix my car and sweep the sidewalks lmao
Chicago's homicide rate is over 3 times higher than Sรฃo Paulo's.
Sรฃo Paulo's old center is basically what Americans call a Skid Row, some streets are taken my homeless people and drug addicts.
This thread then devolves into some odd Brazilian ritual chanting:
isso diz muito sobre nosso paรญs, acho incrรญvel como usar uma mochila nas costas รฉ meme pra um paulista por exemplo. Um gringo nรฃo entende esse tipo de coisa porque ele nรฃo conhece o que a gente passa no nosso dia a dia.
Idk either
From a brazilian cop, quick tip to you guys out there, if you want a tour around here and the city in itself is not a touristic one (the big ones usually aren't, an exception would be the cities by the beach) avoid the city center. They're usually the oldest district in town and normally hold the title for the worst neighborhoods around, having a high concentration of homeless people. I myself moved to a bigger city (Curitiba - Paranรก) and felt this myself. Always ask around for the richest neighborhood, or the one that concentrates the entertainment, wich usually won't be the center. And for god's sake, stay WAAAAAY clear from any favela.

I don't get stuff like this. My plan whenever it happens is to fricking buy a fricking temp flip phone and carry only petty cash I wouldn't be sad to lose. Idk how that's so hard for so many tourists to figure out unless you're only going to be at a fricking resort.
Maybe growing up in Memphis makes me assume I'm likely to get robbed if I'm not a fricking local in cities idk

You don't even need a flip phone, just don't use your smartphone while walking on the street at night or at the subway.
Another stupid thing many North American and Euro tourists like to do is to visit the favelas because "they look so exotic ", or simply because they're looking for whores and drugs then wonder why their money is stolen.

Why doesn't the government just nuke the favelas with napalm?
