Estou chocado, como pode existir pessoas assim nesse mundo? são crianças na escola......
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle where the U.S. began these attacks on schools ...
I live in Brazil and It Is Rio de Janeiro ... every time suprises... i think Rio does not deservers big events like Olympic Games or World Cup or shows, cuz this state do not reflect the rest of country
dont forget corruption, bad politic ppl, traffic, and others... is too bad
first time on Brazil, is not exclusive from Germany or USA more... 😡
What does it have to do with the Summer Olympics or God ? Get a life ! This is NOT political or religious, although both of these may help avoid things like that, this is an insane person, a copycat. What's next for Brazil? Bombing? Terrorist attacks? This is really scary. So sad for these children and their family.
“Ele tinha a determinação de se suicidar depois da tragédia”
If we could predict all tragedies, the world would be a heaven
Yeah Kael, and it would be boring.
You are a monster.
To most of the commenters: I hate to break it to you, but there is no god.
Hate to break it to you, but there is.
It appears it was a terrorist attack!
There is a god and he loves each and every one of us whether you acknowledge him or not. He makes no mistakes nor is he responsible for the actions of individuals. I believe the lack of God in our world is the reason it has taken such a turn for the worse. either way my heart goes out to the victims families as no one deserves this.
Is confirmed by the channels here. He left a letter were spread slam, with ideas to kill people.
The killer is Muslim, well that is the same as smoke is bad for your health.
