OT: Ref beheaded in Brazil...

that's possible, i can understand the correlation. all i've heard though was it was a bunch of people going bronze age on some goof that killed their relative/friend. having the drug cartel influence in their day to day lives may have definitely manifested in the way this all played out. i could see that for sure.

Yea i saw the pictures. It was ugly. And it looked like those who retaliated had done it before.

well for instance you made the point that what if an nfl ref had to worry about this? and the other poster mentioned what would they do if they lost the cup coming up? both went right over the fact that the ref murdered a player on the field in front of his friends and family.

I'd say murdered is a bit strong, if the article is to be believed.

Sounds like the ref acted in self defense IMHO...if I'm wrong, please feel free to show me additional info so I can have a more accurate opinion.

when you take a weapon and kill an unarmed person with it that usually ends up being murder.

Looks like the International Olympics Committee made the right call for the '16 games.

Not to mention the World Cup next year. Yikes....

Depends on the circumstances.

Well unless he pulled it, warned him he'd use it to defend himself while trying to separate himself from this other guy and the other guy kept coming, or was getting beaten up with a series of blows and wasn't able to do anything but stab the guy to end it, it was murder.
