I understand they vandalized the bathroom door, but reports say they paid the owner cash, and the owner declined to press charges.

The swimmers also (according to the news) did not report the crime to police.

Yes, it’s a very shitty thing to lie to you mom about getting robbed, and then go on to allow that lie to spread throughout the media, but did they break a law in doing so? I’m not familiar with local laws there, and I get that Rio’s feelings are hurt about the negative publicity, but I feel like in the U.S. you would have to do more than conjure up a big lie to be detained by authorities and have your passport confiscated.

Four ripped gigantic drunk men who don’t speak your language walk into your store and start peeing everywhere. What do you do?

It’s 2016, so actual jurisprudence is secondary to hurt feelings now-a-days.

Pull out gun

Request money

Now, why did they lie again? Seems like they threw the station money for the damages, so........

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. There was armed security present.

And I’m not sympathetic with these idiots or their actions that day. I’m just wondering on what ground they’re being detained.

Reports are that they didn’t file anything.

In Brazil there is no “won’t press charges”, if a crime is comited there will be an investigation whether the “victim” wants it or not.

So if it’s just an investigation about a broken door, it hardly seems newsworthy. There was no other crime to investigate. Of course, we no that’s not what this is really about.

I suppose you’re right, anything will stick probably. But the cops weren’t present when any of that went on. I assume they would have to witness it.

Regardless, we all know it’s really about the LIES!!
