murder? i call it initiative

"TV host accused of killing for ratings"
Politician suspected of ordering hits on rivals for crime show

SAO PAULO, BRAZIL–In one murder after another, the Canal Livre TV show had an uncanny knack for being first on the scene, gathering graphic footage of the victim.

Too uncanny, say police, who are investigating the show's host, state legislator and accused drug trafficker Wallace Souza, on suspicion of commissioning at least five of the murders to boost his ratings and prove his claim that Brazil's Amazon region is awash in violent crime.

what kills me (haha... see what i did there?) about this story is that this guy is a tv show personality, a state legislator, an accused drug trafficker, and a former police officer! talk about a jack of all trades! did you know that as a state legislator in brazil you have immunity from being arrested?

but seriously kids, killing people is bad. don't do it.
